sdandrea1 I got 18 holes in with this guy today. 12 degree model with stock Alta CB 55G Soft Regular flex. I had he loft setting on standard and the sliding weight all the way towards the heel (draw). Standard length, grip. Comments:
Very easy to hit straight, I mean dead straight.
I can't comment on forgiveness, because all 14 shots were struck in the middle of the face. See pic below.
Sound is different than the G400 and G410. It's not pleasing or irritating.....just a different kind of acoustic pop.
distance is good, not OMG good like the XXIO, but as far as anything else I've owned or tried. Keep in mind that anything over 200 yards is pretty good for me. I have demoed the G400 SFT and G410 Plus. Distance is about the same.
I never tried a G400 Max, so I can't compare them.
Turbulators are still ugly.....I hate them. I still think the G10 was the best PING driver aesthetically....but that's just me.
I hit 13 of 14 fairways today. This thing is confidence inspiring. It is SOOOOO straight.
I did not fool with loft settings, but trajectory was fine for me.
Finally, I'm not paying full price. If I did anything, I'd try to find a used G400 Max for $12 first.
So do I have to go look for what club this is? I know it's a PING but...

Golf buddy put a Tensei Orange CK 60 in his Ping G410 SFT. He hit it very well today at Dunedin Golf Course (Donald Ross design).
2004 Callaway BBs?
This thread could break the Internet...

You typically like draw bias drivers. Have you tried the Ping G425 SFT yet? The head is a little lighter than the Max at 202 grams. And it has 23 grams fixed in the heel opposed the movable 26 gram weight.
You lose a little MOI (forgiveness) with the weight in the heel opposed to being in the middle (back), but you hit the middle of the face anyway.
The only G425 SFT demo in the shop was a ladies model. I might take it out anyhoo.

Took the XXIO Prime out today and overpowered it all over the place. It's just too light unless my timing is right on. Used the Cobra FMax SuperLite offset for the back 9, to salvage a terrible round into just a bad round. I turned the XXIO back in.
Yeah, the XXIO Primes are REALLY light--had the same experience with that one on a demo day.
I am 66 years and have 88-90 mph driver swing speed. I use an older XXIO 9 model with their S-flex 900 Series.
It works great for me & feels like a R-flex Bassara or Tensi...
sdandrea1 What was different about this one than previous? I assume the shaft?
