Pupini 65 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So my local PGA SS has the 410 on sale for $399. The catch is that they don't have any demo clubs now that the 425 is out so I can test the various shaft options. They have the Evenflow Black, Tour 65 &75, the Alta and the Tensei Orange. I swing between 105-112 so I know it is a stiff, but I'm not what to go with. I think the Evenflow is a bit too heavy for my liking and I am leaning towards the Tour 65. I've read the Tensei has a high launch angle, but I am concerned about spin. Any thoughts or advice is welcome. My other option is to ditch the 410, pay an extra $100-$150 and get a 2021 driver and test the shafts. 1 Quote Driver: 425LST w / KBS TD60 X-Stiff 3-Wood: Callaway Rogue Sub70 699Pro: 5&6 Irons w/ Aldila NV Graphite Shaft - Stiff - 1/2" short Sub70 639CB: 7-PW w/ Aldila NV Graphite Shaft - Stiff - 1/2" short Hybrid - 939X: with Proforce V2 Stiff SM7 50* & 56* Putter: OPAL VICE - Pro Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev 25,172 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Of course everyone is different - you saw the MWD results - the 410 LST more than held it's own against anything out there for this season - I would have to thing that whatever little bit extra you'd be getting from another driver is not worth the $100 to $150 you'd be spending. If it's the 410 Plus though I would certainly think long and hard. I have been disappointed with mine - should have stuck with the 400 LST. Good luck Quote Taylor Made Stealth 10.5 Aldila Ascent Red R flex Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Wilson D7 forged 5-GW - Mamiya recoil 460 R flex Edison Wedges 54 and 59 KBS Tour Graphite 80's EVNRoll ER 5 Titleist Pro VIx optic yellow with revkev stamped on them Still on that elusive hunt for a 3 wood that I'm able to hit - I don't know why, I crush the 5 wood and it's really a 4 wood anyway.

They have lots of options with the plus, a decent amount for the LST and a few SFT. What was it about the Plus that's given you problems?

cnosil 24,388 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Don’t judge flex by swing speed; that is an outdated way to pick a shaft. That said it is impossible for us to tell you what shaft or head since we don’t know you launch conditions. The only way to know which shaft to pick is to hit them. That said the ping tour shafts always seem to get great reviews 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 5-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54-10S 588 58-12 Putter: Directed Force 2.1 Backups: 6330, TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, mFGP2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixyurdivot 16,561 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I was among the G410 Official Testers (G410P) and still playing it. I also recently tested the G425 series against my G410, as part of a bag fitting, and none offered any gains in distance, ball flight, or accuracy. Of the three versions, the LST performed best for me. What did offer gain in distance and slightly less dispersion was upgrading the Alta CB Red 55S with a KBS TD 50 Cat 2 shaft. The H2H test above was done using this shaft on the various driver heads. If you haven't done so, ask to get some LM data at the PGASS using the various heads and shafts. 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin2win 3,615 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Also, the shafts in the 425 use the same adapter as the 410... so you should be able to swap those out to find a fit...

I think I will go ahead and buy the LST with a tour shaft. I will take the $100 I am saving on the club and put it towards a fitting.

Pupini 65 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thank you again everyone for the advice. I decided to buy the 410 Plus with the tour 65 shaft. While I was there I signed-up for a driver fitting knowing that I can return the club for credit within 90 days if I don't like it or if there is one that is much better suited to my swing. 2 Quote Driver: 425LST w / KBS TD60 X-Stiff 3-Wood: Callaway Rogue Sub70 699Pro: 5&6 Irons w/ Aldila NV Graphite Shaft - Stiff - 1/2" short Sub70 639CB: 7-PW w/ Aldila NV Graphite Shaft - Stiff - 1/2" short Hybrid - 939X: with Proforce V2 Stiff SM7 50* & 56* Putter: OPAL VICE - Pro Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb1956 19 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Have the g410 SFT, and it came with the Alta 55. Felt a little whippy to me, and my SS is only 80 mph. Got me an Graffaloy ProLaunch 65 reg. flex, and I love it. Butt trimmed it to 43.5", glued on the shaft adapter, put on a new grip, and headed to the range. I have kept the 55, as I am a senior, and if my swing gets slower, I will put the 55 back in.
