OUR TAKE
Since the Eye2 took the game of golf by storm back in the day, PING has more or less been known for game-improvement iron designs that offer excellent forgiveness—but not the greatest look or feel. The G400 changes all of those perceptions—the look and feel are pleasing while the performance is off-the-charts good. If you want a super-hot launch and distance, you’ll get it with these beauties, along with exceptional forgiveness and accuracy. Anyone who favors a game-improvement design would do well to give the G400 a serious look.
FITTER COMMENTS
“This thing is an amazing performer, a best-in-class iron with extreme forgiveness and top-end ball speed. Produces a high launch and mid-spin. I’d recommend the G400 for anyone who wants the entire package.”
