OUR TAKE
In case anyone hasn’t noticed, Ping—without a lot of pomp and circumstance—has become one of the elite driver makers in the industry in recent years, offering a variety of innovative models that specialize in providing enhanced forgiveness, customizability and distance. The standard G400 has all the bells and whistles, as well as a more compact, 445cc clubhead, making it a top-notch, versatile option for just about any player. It’s notable that the new line of G400 Ping drivers also features greatly improved acoustics for better sound and feel at impact.
FITTER COMMENTS
“Very forgiving fairway finder with a soaring, high-launching trajectory and mid-spin rates. More compact size appeals to some and can yield slightly faster swing speeds. Sound is much improved over past Ping G models, as is the overall look and performance.”
