Ping G400 driver

So I found the mythical gain increase. I never believed it until tonite I did a flightscope session tonite comparing my trusty G30 10 degree SF TEC stiff vs...

G425 will likely be my next driver. I wanted g410 last year but never hit around to it with covid.

The way this thing plays, sounds and feels, I have a feeling my next driver will start with G4XX....... and I'm still playing it with a junk made-for Cobra shaft.

Guess we will have to be patient for the comparison review.

It just says "Baffler" on it. No brand.

Typhoon Yeah, I can't wait to get on my Trackman hopefully next week if the weather is better and hit the G425max vs. my G400Max. Won't be the same shaft but from what I hear, no difference and I imagine that would carry over into the other versions.

Here's what I'm hoping for. Maybe just a tad more accurate. You can tell what it is by the shaft.

Thing is, is the 425 Max that much better then the 400 Max for the average hacker like me? For typhoon maybe yes but what about us mere mortals?

I wouldn't have sold my G400 to Steve if my New G425 was "That Much Better "!

Again, YMMV....

candukid I doubt it. But it does have the extra adjustability if you're into that Y

I just wanna try the max with a shaft fit for me in either 400 or 425.. except I’d probably have to buy it, and I play like 4 rounds a year, so I’m not sure I really want to hit it.

I have the 400Max though. Not the SFT. Will have to wait for typhoon review of the Max's

sdandrea1 18 more holes with this club. It's freaking magic. You must try one.

Maybe when you sell yours.

I demo'd a G425 SFT in Florida for 2 rounds. I wouldn't say it's any better than the G400 SFT - VERY similar head, sound feel. Shaft options will probably make the most difference.

I think this is the case with most golf clubs these days. Not necessarily better, but different. The G400 head is smaller at 445cc though. There seems to be not much more to squeeze out. It's tiny improvements. More evolution that revolution.

Is anyone going to notice a 2% to 3% gain in MOI etc.? Rick Shiels did a test with a Ping driver from several years ago compared a newer model. He gained 3 yards. 😕

Finally played the G400 SFT/HOF Express combo for 2 rounds this weekend. Saturday it was a weapon. It just wanted to go straight and I only put 2 bad swings on it. Sunday I piped it the first 2 holes and thought "this is my driver this year" and it was like the mojo just drained right out of it after that lol. It may just be that I need to shorten it and add some weight. I normally play my drivers at 44.5", but I built this one at 45" since the shaft came that length with Ping adapter.

Good thing I kept my G400 SFT. Just got a reply from Ping from April 7th (today is the 22nd) about my G425 SFT (with the Orange Tensei) status. He said what Edwin Watts told me ~ 2-4 weeks.

Good thing I told Edwin Watts to tell Ping to send me the club either un-gripped or put any grip on because the GP MCC Plus 4 grips are back ordered till August. 😮 And it would not move to production until then.

All the MCC Plus 4's are sitting at the bottom of the ocean in a cargo container somewhere. lol

Hell, just tell PING to send you the head, the shaft and the adapter and headcover. You can do the rest! 😉

Typhoon

Sneakylong 100% correct
