Wondering if they did some prototype testing years ago, but were afraid the aesthetics of such a design would turn people off and so have taken a much more subtle approach, or if it's just an evolution of independent discovery and learning from what other companies are doing. Could be, the aerodynamic principals are the same, but yes maybe they all have found (or copied, designs are rarely truly new) a way to take advantage of those principals more in a design that players are comfortable with.

Based on how the G410's faired in the MGS 2020 Most Wanted GI Irons test, I would be surprised if they move the needle much. I like the look however. I want to see what's behind the cavity above PING, if it's a solid piece where the 425 is that goes across the back, then I'm much more interested. But if it's a cavity--which I'm afraid it is, then I may not be as excited. As you said, that's very much the G410 style, and I think that is one of the issues that created the sound in the G410 that I wasn't crazy about. So it's a wait and see I guess!

Also, do they fill it with magic goo? Honestly, doing so seems counter to the whole insert face/hollow cavity which purportedly provides a trampoline effect. It would seem almost any filler material would counteract the effect and is more for sound than anything else... but I could be wrong.

ejgaudette Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 As someone with the unfilled I500s the goo can indeed help on feel, mainly on off center hits.

MadMex Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 **********WARNING !!!!! WARNING ********** I own the PING G-700's, the sound is a bit annoying if you don't hit the sweet spot. So I decided to experiment with urethane foam insulation spray. I removed the screw (with my driver tool) I stuck the nozzle in (fit perfect!) Squeezed the nozzle for about a 1 to 1-1/2 seconds Removed the nozzle only to see/feel the foam come back at me and all over my tool chest, golf bag, shoes and shirt, good thing I was wearing my glasses. I did try about a 1 foot long string of yarn and it seemed to muffle the sound a bit without any swing feel change.
