OUR TAKE
The G400 family is rock-solid from top to bottom, and the hybrid is no exception. A compact, traditional look at address with low-key graphics and finish belie what’s underneath: plentiful technology and a thoughtful design that can make short work of longer approaches, tee shots and plays from tough lies. While some hybrids pose problems for players who struggle with hooks, the G400 can be set up to work for just about anyone.
