goaliewales14 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I was able to give this driver a rip at my local PGA SS last week. I have to be honest in saying that I liked the G400 a little better. I don't have specific numbers, but I felt like I was getting better consistency and distance out of the G400 LST. I'll have to see if I can get some data between the two drivers. First impression though, would be to save a bit of money and grab the G400 LST now that it's going on sale by being the old model.

I’m currently in an internal debate over getting an F9, g400 or g400 lst, or a rogue off the bay. I just love the sound of the f9. Ive read that then g400 sounds a lot better. But no matter what it will be less “pingy” than my g30.

Tsecor Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 IMO the turbulators need to go away. So annoying at address for me. It's also very gimmicky...I think Ping can find a new way to suggest faster speeds outside of these fins. This is such a great driver but for me personally, the crown is a mess Quote Golf is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such a great driver but for me personally, the crown is a mess They did they added dragonfly to the head then they moved dragonfly from the outside to the underneath. Drivers on center contact have been maxed out for roughly a decade and iirc from the way usga is doing testing off center space on the face is also now measured to same standards as center and that faces are getting close to max. remember ping heads tend to be on the heavier side and offer both speed and forgiveness. Other brands go for lighter heads to deliver speed but they have issues with dispersion or are extremely bias to one dude or the other. the g400 max and lst are 2 of the best drivers in the market since the 2016 m1/2 release which has been hard for many to find a better driver to replace it. Whatever ping is doing is working and they are a brand that doesn’t change to change but rather release a better version...see how long they took to release the g410 lst MmmmmmBuddy and PING Apologist #9 1 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the moveable weight and flat setting could help me fine tune, but I’ve been hitting bombs with the one I have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I agree, the club is an absolute rocket launcher. It’s tough to imagine such a profound change in just one years’ evolution.

The ping drivers have been insane lately. I saw a video with the TXG guys on you tube and they were hitting a 410 LST I believe....they couldn't hit it off line and they were amazed at the forgiveness and distance. I am about to replace by 910 D3 and I'm seriously looking into ping at this point. I need something more forgiving now that can still get me the distances I crave Quote Golf is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have not hit the LST yet. Make sure you check out the G410 forum reviews. Lots of great information in this thread. Feel free to pop in and ask me any questions you may have.
