Sluggo42 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The Ping van came to our club today and I worked with a real cool dude named Josh Patty. I hit a few different irons but as usual, didn’t hit anything I liked except the i500 irons. They seemed pretty good.. I was a bit tired as I had just completed my 36th hole for the day, so I can’t be too critical of any of them. but the real surprise was hitting the 3-wood, the g410, and the sft. I wasn’t on the “scope” so i don’t have distances, but, hit after hit went long and straight, and high. They felt fantastic! Really a crisp and hot face. Best of all it was so easy to hit. It’s really got me questioning my good old Callaway 815 big Bertha now. There was a pretty decent crosswind from left to right, which made it seem as tho I was hitting a soft fade. So Josh set me up with the same in a sft model and it then held tight against the wind. It might be too much draw without a wind but it really is an impressive 3-wood. It’s funny because I hit the “Callaway flash” 3-wood a month ago, and it didn’t give me a tingle down my leg like this one did. Not sure on distance either as this one was actually set at 16°, with an adjustment of 1.5° available either way, so I could play it anywhere from a 14.5 to a 17.5. So I guess it’s a 3-4 wood? Very,very interesting for sure. maybe 4 years of tech has made a difference in 3-woods after all... M.

PAgolfer2017 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I hit this along with a few others the other day. Overall the g410 felt good but overall ended up going a different route. Did feel much better than the g400 thoughSent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy tony@CIC 1 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...
null Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Going to a multi vendor demo day tomorrow and this club is at the top of my hit list. Just from looking at the face on view it looks like they really hug the ground while the TS2 has a more rounded look to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggo42 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Yea, I got the itch for a new 3 wood. I keep hearing the f9 is the deal too.

My exact impressions on the G400 3w I purchased a couple of weeks ago. One of my regular foursome let me try his G SFT and I really liked it. I was a little concerned about that style face being able to launch from the rough, one of the things my Callaway Warbird does well, but the G400 works well in those lies too.

null Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Demo day was awesome today. Literally hit every fairway wood on the market. TaylorMade, Callaway, Cleveland/Srixon, Titleist, Cobra, Mizuno Ping and Tour Edge were all there with full fitting carts. I really enjoyed hitting the Srixon and TaylorMade M5 fairway woods, but the winner of the day was actually the Ping G410 LST. I tried the standard G410 first and loved it. Really nice ball flight, but I noticed that I got some that spun a little too much (visually, no launch monitors). I really had no intention of hitting the G410 LST, but my fitter (owner of the driving range) and my instructor were watching me hit balls and they said it couldn't hurt to try. They were right. The LST gave me a beautiful ball flight that wasn't too flat and wasn't too spinny. It was definitely a ballflight that I could play into a long Par 5 green and definitely something that would be playable on short Par 4s. After I hit about 4 balls with the LST, my instructor said "Jesus christ - you need to buy two of them!" Well I didn't. I only bought one. Had to order it so I should get it in a week or so. G410 LST 14.5, Ping Tour 75x. I hit bombs with the TS2, but I've found it to be inconsistent on the course. The titleist has a very rounded sole and I found myself hitting more thin shots than I'd like. G410 has an expanded low toe and low heel section which really gives me a much more pleasing look when I sole the club on the ground. It feels more similar to the F8 that I had which gives me a ton of confidence when I hit it off the deck.

But, maybe because the balls I was hitting didn’t show a need? regardless, yes- they are very confidence building clubs ...

You just download the course before you turn off your data.

fixyurdivot Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 It took a few range sessions, but I'm hitting the G400 3w well now. Definitely a different feel than the Callaway WB sole and face I'd been playing for many years. It does well out of minor rough - which was a concern I had.
