PAgolfer2017 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It's a great shaft - I'd love to know who made it for Ping. Like I've written I can't miss the sweet spot with that shaft. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Don't quote me on this, but I think UST Mamiya makes the tour shafts for Ping. revkev and ole gray 2 Quote Bag: 4.5LS Driver: Stealth 9* w/ Aldila Red 60 Fairway: SIM 15* w/ Diamana 70 Fairway: GBB Heavenwood 19* w/ Fujikura Pro 72 Irons: p790 4-PW w/ C-Taper Lite 110s Wedge: MG3 50 & 54 Wedge: Hi-Toe 60* Putter: Spider X Ball: TP5 PIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgolfer2017 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 New G400 head is on it's way, so for my round today I had to play with another driver I had, and man did I miss my G400. Despite shooting a personal best, the G400 just instills confidence when I'm standing over it. It's as close to a point and shoot driver as I've ever had. Paired with the HZRDUS Yellow 75 shaft, it's an absolute blast to game. Hard to believe a few years ago I hated hitting a driver.

Chadvb Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Previously playing: Ping G10 - 9 deg - Grafalloy Prolaunch Red Now playing: G400 Max - 9 deg (tuned to 8 degree) - Kugo Kage 60g S Over the past 3-4 years I have demo'd drivers looking for something that outperformed my G10 on the course, I was fitted for the G10 and am a high spin player and basically I found nothing until... the G400. Swing 1 with the G400 and I was sold, I mishit it pretty bad (heel) and felt the ball come off like a rocket down to where I would hit a solid shot with my G10. I inquired about the G400 after the round and my pro (and Ping rep) told me to hold on as there was an LST model coming in a few months and since we played some golf together he knew my high spin woes. I continued to demo the G400 whenever I could and waited and waited for the LST. I live in Calgary, AB, Canada so our golf season ends basically Late Sept early Oct and kicks off typically in Late April/Early May, both of these time frames coming in not optimal golf conditions, June through August however is generally quite perfect (weather and course conditions). And then the day came, September 20th and .... I became a father!!! and for the purposes of a golf forum, my driver hunt for the year was over. haha. Slide forward to June this year and the G400 Max was all the rage and I got my hands on it, and immediately booked a fitting. I found the fitting process very fun and launch monitor (I believe it was flightscope) cool to use. I tried all models of the G400 with all standard shafts until we dialed in the right specs. Not to get to into it all but here are the details I recall the most: Swing speed - averaged around 105 mph G10 average Carry - 270-275 G400 Max average carry - 290-295 (1 was over 300!) Spin - (can't recall the numbers) - but down 400 RPM (I would imagine due to a degree loft off the driver) Dispersion - No significant difference (which is fine, my strength is accuracy) Summary - 20 more yards carry, lower spin and more role On the course - I have only had the driver for 2 rounds after waiting for it to arrive and a 2 week holiday where is sat in the shop but I have started working the ball both ways which is fairly new. I actually have trouble hitting it straight which was the strength of the G10 but find I can hit a 10 yard draw or fade quite nicely. The draw seems to really bring in some new spots on the course and I really see that extra 20 yards. The fade as expected is shorter but seems to be where a solid straight ball with the G10 was and I can play that shot with less fear, a fade is my go to which I somewhat lost with the G10. The biggest factor on the course is the mishits, this is a step up from the G10 for sure in terms of carry. We have a couple risk and reward tee shots at my club and now I have nothing to worry about with the carry on a mishit. Overall, extremely happy with the switch, driving is a strength of my game and look forward to taking advantage of hitting it both ways (knock on wood) and seeing some shorter approaches in on a couple Par 5's and long par 4's. I typically play a ProV1 but look forward to trying a couple new balls with the G400 Max as well. Got a sleeve of Tp5x's at a tournament recently and they will be in play tonight!

Sluggo42 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 My LST has just been smoking them lately like 10-20+ yards. I mean I'm hitting shorter irons in quite often. And the temp isn't quite as hot as it was last month so I'm ruling the heat out. What I'm thinking is that the club is getting fully broken in after a thousand or so hits. My buddy's Rogue used to always have a few more yards, but now I'm out in front now and then. Is this possible?

In theory a driver face is at its hottest shortly before it eventually caves in from wear, because the more you use it the more material you slowly remove from it, the thinner and springier it gets. In theory... That should be after forever though Rickp 1 Quote Self taught golfer trying hard to improve his game. Started playing early summer 2016.

revkev Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Just a little bump here. Adam and Tony were both talking about next year being a banner one for drivers with all the OEMs releasing new ones. I'm curious of any of the G400 devotees are interesting to switching away from their driver? I played yesterday and was hitting it well past a friend who was hitting it 20 yards farther than me at this time last year - he has the G30 LST. He hit my G400 LST a few times yesterday and picked up 5 yards plus over his old one. Mind you I'm doing the Superspeed test so that's where a lot of my yardage gain is coming from but I'm struggling to imagine that I would get much additional yardage or accuracy out of a new driver at this point. I will check to see if I have the ideal shaft for my swing in the Spring (once my swing speed test is done) - I'm guessing not but we'll see.

PMookie Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Just a little bump here. Adam and Tony were both talking about next year being a banner one for drivers with all the OEMs releasing new ones. I'm curious of any of the G400 devotees are interesting to switching away from their driver? I played yesterday and was hitting it well past a friend who was hitting it 20 yards farther than me at this time last year - he has the G30 LST. He hit my G400 LST a few times yesterday and picked up 5 yards plus over his old one. Mind you I'm doing the Superspeed test so that's where a lot of my yardage gain is coming from but I'm struggling to imagine that I would get much additional yardage or accuracy out of a new driver at this point. I will check to see if I have the ideal shaft for my swing in the Spring (once my swing speed test is done) - I'm guessing not but we'll see.I have my G400 Max on a Veylix Rome 688 X shaft and it’s doing well, but I do want to try other shafts to see if I can lower spin a tad, but keep the accuracy. As far as replacing it when new ones are out? Driver is the LEAST safe club in my bag every single year. I do want to give the Max a good run, though, since I didn’t have it when the fairways were their fastest.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro revkev, MattF and downlowkey 3 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when time came for the Srixons, they have the right to earn the starting job. Just a shame it's basically the end of the season and any golf days between now and late March will be purely bonus.

Mr. 82 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I got my G400 as a birthday present from the wife a year ago September. 15 months and going strong. And considering I had my G5 driver in the bag for 15 years I still have a good decade or more before even considering a new driver again. I mean, I’m not made of money, and at $400, I’m going to get my moneys worth on this great club.

PlaidJacket Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm actually giving some serious thought to a new driver this coming spring. Maybe. I've been playing my 2014 SLDR since it debuted. It will be a hard task for any "newbie" to oust the SLDR from my bag; but I'm still going to make my old pal earn his keep and the newcomers work for it. I'm certainly going to consider a G400 of some flavor.... LST? Max? I'll also look at other brands and models. (I'll want to try the Cortex and the new F9) PING Apologist #9 and cnosil 2 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you've talked up that SLDR over the past several months (or longer), I'd be real interested to see if anything you test gives it a run. Have fun!
