Ping really does just seem to do things because it works, not just for marketing. I like the clean look of that club. I need a 3 wood not a driver, so I’ll be trying them out for sure. Lovely review boys!
So enjoy your equipment reviews Mark. The thoroughness and honesty are what set you apart and I/we really appreciate that. Props to Dan as well. The two of you are like peanut butter and jelly together.......(perfect). Cannot wait for the next. Gotta love PING
I was in work last night so only got to watch this video today. This video is why Mark is so much better at reviews than other youtubers. His explanations into the tech and how it effects the club is second to none and he makes it understandable to a numpty like myself. Keep up the good work!
I have a used Ping G5 driver because I can’t afford anything else and it’s perfect. Beautiful sound and performs better than any modern driver I’ve tried.
I used the G2 for over 10 years. Great club. Moved to the new Ping G a couple of years ago. Same distance when hit well but the G is much more forgiving.
Working night shift on the East Coast of US, I'd be liar if I told you I wasn't disappointed that this wasn't the first review I seen. Keep up the solid work.
Respect as always. Still beating that drum regarding “strike is king”, and that when it comes to shot shaping, it really is all about the player. Glad you’re sticking at it because it’s no doubt tiresome at times and you probably feel like you’re banging your head off a brick wall. Just wish other pros and manufacturers would starting admitting this also. It’s a bitter pill for many to swallow, but facts don’t care about your feelings peoples. Admirable honesty and impartiality as always, Crossfield.
I like the idea of the 3 set movable weight slots, but there has to be something to cover up the screw holes that aren't being used. I see, water, dirt and grass for days getting stuck in those screw holes.
I agree. The taylormade I have has all those holes. I’ve taken them all out as I’ve become older (not legal I’ve read). But I do have cleaning to do after rounds. As long as I don’t eat with the thing...
I have been hitting a M6, I just happened try the G410 plus. The G410 is hotter and much more forgiving. My drives were 15-18 yards longer than the M6. I walked out of the golf shop as a proud owner of the 410 plus. My longest drive in the booth 281 yds. With consistent carry of 240-250.
I have the Ping G400 and I thought the turbulators were going to be a visual issue when I first hit it, just like Dan but....the on course results have more than made up for any visual issue. Now all I see is my ball going on line with my target....😍 my Ping driver!!
Seriously looking at Ping drivers. I’m still not convinced on moveable weights for handicap golfers. The weight marginally shifts the CG. Its always face/path and where the bottom of the swing is. The sound through the vid sounds amazing and I love the subtlety of the neck. Top notch vid as always!
I think it’s amazing that you have such a hyper sensitivity to such minuscule changes in CG but have no change in sensation in shaft weight or flex. Just interesting to me.
There's not a lot of difference swinging a 60 or 70g shaft in the same flex, but shaft flex sensitivity depends on swing speed and whether you've fully released at impact with the ball, my crap swing means I'm still loading and bending the shaft on impact, a regular shaft see's my ball spiralling off right with the shaft bent 4" & face wide open, hence for me to hit anything straight means I play x stiff with a very stiff tip, although this costs me a few yards, my playing partner hits it same swingspeed as me but is fully released at impact and can hit any shaft, but prefers a regular shaft flex hitting 270yds carry, as he gets a few more yards with it.
Never in doubt that it wasn't going to be a good driver it's what ping do. Love what you said about the LS tech one can't beat the last one so not bringing out another one. Honest club manufacturer. Great video brah.
Nobody tests clubs better than you and Dan super fair and comprehensive review really enjoyable. BTW was that a bit of sunshine warming you two lads congrats. And cheers from Norcal
If that comment about the LS Tec is legit, hats off to Ping. We need more of that in the golf industry. It's a shame they don't see much of the spotlight on tours and in shops. Great review as always guys!
As always a great review. It’s what you guys do best. Would be good to see results of a truly blind test where the weights are moved but the user knows not where. Great stuff.
great vid, just got fitted last week , collecting next Tuesday, loved it in the lab, keep up the good work, stay safe, any advice on a senior graphite shaft for utility 3 iron?
Great point on sound being preference for everyone for difference manufacturers. I think you learn to have a certain feel/sound of a good shot as you progress. And that company’s “sound profile” becomes what a good shot is to you. So when you hit something else, a good shot just doesn’t always inspire confidence because the sound is off. And considering how different a Titleist Driver and say a PING sound that makes total sense. Like for me... I learned with a R540xd, then R7 TP superquad, then PING Rapture and now M3. Do PING and TM feel natural and “right” but others I struggle to know what I did if I base just off sound for the most part.
They used to put a liquid resin or glue in the port to change sound to a more thud.... called it hot melt...I think. Also used to add a little bit of weight in the right area for different players.
Love the channel fellas, arguably some of best reviews I've seen. Keep up the great work! I tested out the the G410+, Mavrik Max, TM SIM, Mizuno ST200, TS2 & TS3 at a fitting y'day. The Mavrik and G410 came wildly out om top with very similar numbers offering me a staggering 55 yards more than my old driver (a RAM I was given last year when starting out). The rest I tested really did not compare, ts2 and ts3 were disappointingly inconsitent for me forgiveness-wise. SIM good but not as much distance as the aforementioned - its look personally less desirable for me. Decision came down to looks/feel in the end. It may have been the lighting indoors but I actually preferred the matt finsish on the G410. Helped me to align better than the gloss top of the mavrik max (and the others) My natural shot shape had been a fade, however with weight in neutral position on ping I hit straight or slight draws. Beautiful to see. Also went from regular to stiff shaft increasing my club head speed from 85mph to 101mph with no loss in accuracy. More to throw at it still which i'll do as I get confident. Review content really helped me get the most out of my fitting session, so once again thanks amd kudos for a great channel. Any vids on gapping between driver and 5 iron appreciated (I use AP1 718 irons atm) Also review of phantom x12 putter..?
Im kind of opposite as well with the weights I still have a Mizuno JPX850 driver. I put the weight back and fade setting and hit a draw, if i put it back and draw i hit a fade. but if i put it fade setting the strike just feels better off the face to me, and less twisty at impact.
Interesting idea, but eliminating 16g would reduce the swingweight to where I wouldn't be able to feel the head during the swing to get a consistent strike.
I agree with you Mark, the G400 is a better looking club than the new G410 series. I like the dragonfly look as well. The Ping version of a "sliding" (not) weight track should be useful in fitting golfers though.
Weight is adjustable not sliding. I like how it goes along the far back so it is still as far back as possible for MOI. I also like how tabulators frame the ball.
no point, I work in a golf store as a fitter and honestly the rails on callaway or tm are a bit useless, I don't think i have ever had someone hit it better with one of those set to a little bit draw bias, it is almost always all the way in draw/ fade, or neutral. Everything g you add to make a weighting system moves weight away from where you want it, ping made theirs as bare bones as possible because they care about making a club that performs, not a club that is marketable. Lets say they added the option the put the weight a little in the heel, and a little in the toe, 100% of golfers playing that club would see a performance decrease, not a large one but still a performance decrease. In return maybe 3% of golfers would actually be fit into having the weight in one of the new spots.
I tried one out today and hit it pretty darn good. I actually think I like it better than the Taylormade M 6. The adjustment system on it is pretty smooth and works well. Seems solidly made. Very high quality construction. When Ping does something they usually do it correctly and well. This one is a winner. I will be using it tomorrow too. I just might keep this one. :) Spider Dubiel
Your just so competitive Mark🤔 in the semi rough and Dan being the Gentleman he is says yes that is classed as fairway, so that’s the match all square 😂😂 very enjoyable lads.
so all in all for performance and value it's Cobra F9 so far this year for me! Let's see what new mizuno bring to the game. More Dantagnan and Parthos tesing please :)
Sorry you'll have to take my G400 Driver from my dead cold hands!!! Not a big fan of swinging weights. Great review. However, just got fitted for the G410 Irons and WOW... There are awesome. Can't wait for your review on them.
Far too expensive for me, but a great open honest review... love how you tell it as it is..... G400 max will hopefully be cheaper now.... never buy anything until iv'e checked your reviews.... hence my latest irons... 716 ap2
"Gets a bit TM'y." PUAHAHAA!!! Twist my face, this was some interesting side bars about golf tech in general. I like Ping drivers in general. They're not "thuddy" by any means, but works.
Another great review. And another great club from Ping. I agree that the dragonfly is better looking after getting used to it, but this is still very good looking. Ping is a class company
What you think Dan- is the 410 and improvement on the max? I’ve always liked the max and I’m thinking about buying one on sale now that the 410 is out :)
Have always wondered what type of tee you and Dan are using in the video? Love Ping as a company. Couldn't seem to hit the G400 Max but love their irons and wedges.
Solid testing and honest review without any hype about a new release of another driver on the market! I like that a lot! Question: Why should I buy that new g410 to replace my old G400 then??? Any gain through new Inventions from Ping? Will the adjustable weights save me from that sometime horrible miss to the right?!? Is it Longer, or tighter Dispersion ... Can’t see the point ping is making, as long as they make the most forgiving and playable Drivers in my eye that suit the best for my hacker swing (hcp 9.9)
G400 max best driver of last year for me improved my driving no end. Never gamed ping driver before that. Think the 400 max still has life in it yet so will give this one a miss but another great ping stick
Great review, you and Dan are a dynamic duo. It appears Ping wanted to have a slideable weight but maybe ran into time constraints in putting this one into production. Have a feeling the 420 will have a lip and a slideable weight. If that’s not the case why put what appears to be a track ? Why not design it with 3 open slots ?
As always great review boys very thorough are you going to continue reviews without giving their cost I ask because I have often test and purchase clubs based partly on your reviews with your belief positive or negative on the club and how the cost is relevant to the performance, I can get cost myself just curious bras
Just being devil's advocate, but if you point a flashlight at the wall from 1 inch away, then pull back, the focus spread of the beam widens the further back you get. This is the best analogy for MOI that I can think of. So if we take that into consideration with the moveable weights, does that mean its a bigger movement than your description at:5:00 because the "moment" is further back?. Just for conversation sake. Because I've hit this driver with the weight moved from the heel to toe and its quite difficult for me to turn over in TOE. Yes player overrides, but a significant amount of weight in the toe helps inhibit the player from overriding. But if I purchased this driver I too would leave it in the middle.
Great work lads , as a brand Ping make great stuff ....if the golfer is good enough to use it correctly. However I do understand why they have done the moveable weight because they need to sell products like any other company although I feel they put a lot of thought into their products. Keep up the good work guys.
A brilliant review guys....lots of good info in there. Sliding weight seems like a good idea; would love to try it. Like you Mark, I really like the Ping ethos. 🏌🏻♂️🏌🏻♂️
Their driver is a bit high spin for me but based on company integrity I know where my next clubs are coming from even if I don’t hit it as far. Well done Ping
Puring golf shaft's marketing jargon suggests that not all shaft's are made perfectly straight and round. As a result, the potential for inconsistent strikes due to shaft twisting and bending causes inconsistent strikes. Have you tested these claims?
Would you recommend this, I've got the ping g ls tec fitted with the tour 65 shaft. I am looking to upgrade and am not wanting to leave ping. I have the callaway rogue sub zero that I like but not as much as my ping. Is it worth upgrading this new or the g400 series worth checking out ? The money difference is noticable but is the adjustable weight worth that big a upgrade
Can't wait to test this in Feb :-) Just sad about the name, G410 doesn't seem to mean anything and only sounds like a small incremental change from the previous G400.
question. Dan did that video where he changed his set up and was hitting driver 272. Has he gone away from that set up? given numbers are now more in the 257 range.
Very good dispersion, both LR and long/short.... but how much is just very good contact repeatability.... strike is king. Or a distant hope in my case 🙏
Great in depth honest video Mark and Dan!! Keep up the good work.
PING for the win!!!
Ping really does just seem to do things because it works, not just for marketing. I like the clean look of that club. I need a 3 wood not a driver, so I’ll be trying them out for sure. Lovely review boys!

Crossfield and Dan are the review dream team!

I used the G2 for over 10 years. Great club. Moved to the new Ping G a couple of years ago. Same distance when hit well but the G is much more forgiving.
G5 & G15 still in my rotation, when I can't hit my SLDR straight.
Still use a 10* G2. Great club and I don't think a new £400+++ driver is going to suddenly turn me into a tour pro 😂
Working night shift on the East Coast of US, I'd be liar if I told you I wasn't disappointed that this wasn't the first review I seen. Keep up the solid work.
Respect as always. Still beating that drum regarding “strike is king”, and that when it comes to shot shaping, it really is all about the player.

I like the idea of the 3 set movable weight slots, but there has to be something to cover up the screw holes that aren't being used. I see, water, dirt and grass for days getting stuck in those screw holes.
Veeg if you’re getting dirt and grass into the backside, slightly elevated part of a driver, i think you might be using it wrong hahaha.
Have u seen the bottom of most drivers out there with all their weights, rails, screws, slots, etc? Clean you clubs and it will be ok...👍
I agree. The taylormade I have has all those holes. I’ve taken them all out as I’ve become older (not legal I’ve read). But I do have cleaning to do after rounds. As long as I don’t eat with the thing...
3 years later, and I still haven't gotten the screw holes full of debris. I play maybe 3-4 times a month (sometimes more, probably more)
Another new driver that still requires a good swing...damnit
But golf companies seem to be good to the point consumers forget about that "little" detail 😂
Oh...so that’s my problem..lol.
😂😂😂😂😂👍👍
Head professional at tourquay, fairway hit. Well done parfield.
I have been hitting a M6, I just happened try the G410 plus. The G410 is hotter and much more forgiving. My drives were 15-18 yards longer than the M6. I walked out of the golf shop as a proud owner of the 410 plus. My longest drive in the booth 281 yds. With consistent carry of 240-250.

Tony Aguirre a few inches of grass followed by ball!
John Williamson what?

I love my Ping G30. It does what I need it to do without sliding weight. But I will take a close look at the 410 Plus!
The weight is fixed in three positions to make it Lockey-proof
"As the head professional at Torquay Golf club, this is classed as fairway" HAHAHA!
Liked your comment about your swing overriding the settings, it’s what I seem to do quite easily in club fittings, unfortunately!
Never in doubt that it wasn't going to be a good driver it's what ping do. Love what you said about the LS tech one can't beat the last one so not bringing out another one. Honest club manufacturer. Great video brah.

PING, and Mizuno, honest as the day is long. Long may it continue.
As always a great review. It’s what you guys do best.
Would be good to see results of a truly blind test where the weights are moved but the user knows not where.
Great stuff.
Always so informative. Could listen to you for hours...
I'd say the CG is slightly to the heel side of the geometric centre because of the hosel on the heel side adding a little extra mass on that side
great vid, just got fitted last week , collecting next Tuesday, loved it in the lab, keep up the good work, stay safe, any advice on a senior graphite shaft for utility 3 iron?
Hard to not like PING philosophy. Always quality offerings and smart offerings every 2 to 3 generations.
Great point on sound being preference for everyone for difference manufacturers. I think you learn to have a certain feel/sound of a good shot as you progress. And that company’s “sound profile” becomes what a good shot is to you. So when you hit something else, a good shot just doesn’t always inspire confidence because the sound is off.

Do PING and TM feel natural and “right” but others I struggle to know what I did if I base just off sound for the most part.
Great review Mark & Dan 👍🏻
G400 will be a legend for years just like the G10 was.
They used to put a liquid resin or glue in the port to change sound to a more thud.... called it hot melt...I think. Also used to add a little bit of weight in the right area for different players.
Love your honesty with the reviews!
Love the channel fellas, arguably some of best reviews I've seen. Keep up the great work!

Any vids on gapping between driver and 5 iron appreciated (I use AP1 718 irons atm) Also review of phantom x12 putter..?
I liked the 3 different heads and I like the mat finish. I still question the turbulators, maybe 2 to frame up the ball would be nice.
Im kind of opposite as well with the weights
I still have a Mizuno JPX850 driver. I put the weight back and fade setting and hit a draw, if i put it back and draw i hit a fade. but if i put it fade setting the strike just feels better off the face to me, and less twisty at impact.
Be interesting to test what dan said about leaving the weight out, maybe that will move weight forward and make it a G410lst
Interesting idea, but eliminating 16g would reduce the swingweight to where I wouldn't be able to feel the head during the swing to get a consistent strike.
Or even try 2 weights, 1 in the back 1 in the draw or fade setting, would this create the incremental setting between full draw or fade.
Gotta love Ping and everything they do and stand for.
I agree
I agree with you Mark, the G400 is a better looking club than the new G410 series. I like the dragonfly look as well. The Ping version of a "sliding" (not) weight track should be useful in fitting golfers though.
Weight is adjustable not sliding. I like how it goes along the far back so it is still as far back as possible for MOI. I also like how tabulators frame the ball.
You can slide it if you want. 😂🙈
Could’ve just added more screw holes too, avoiding the ridges for it to slide....would love to hear you speak with ping about it.
no point, I work in a golf store as a fitter and honestly the rails on callaway or tm are a bit useless, I don't think i have ever had someone hit it better with one of those set to a little bit draw bias, it is almost always all the way in draw/ fade, or neutral.
Everything g you add to make a weighting system moves weight away from where you want it, ping made theirs as bare bones as possible because they care about making a club that performs, not a club that is marketable.

In return maybe 3% of golfers would actually be fit into having the weight in one of the new spots.
Thanks again boys for another solid review. On a completely different note (Dflat) , Mark why have you left UnderArmor and gone back to FJ ?
I do like the little bit of red to black, its why I liked the nike vrs covert driver. Just not giving up my TS3 driver unless ping gives me one
I think you missed an opportunity here to test it without the weight...
Surely this would move CG forward and reduce spin..
Instant Ping G410 LS!
Are you going to do the gen2 PXG driver 🤷🏻♂️
I tried one out today and hit it pretty darn good. I actually think I like it better than the Taylormade M 6. The adjustment system on it is pretty smooth and works well. Seems solidly made. Very high quality construction. When Ping does something they usually do it correctly and well. This one is a winner. I will be using it tomorrow too. I just might keep this one. :) Spider Dubiel
I always appreciate you honestly and objective ness mark!
Your just so competitive Mark🤔 in the semi rough and Dan being the Gentleman he is says yes that is classed as fairway, so that’s the match all square 😂😂 very enjoyable lads.
Nice adjustment able VORTEX🤯👍🏌️♂️
“Radio Ping Fm” 😂😂 that one got me 😂😂
so all in all for performance and value it's Cobra F9 so far this year for me! Let's see what new mizuno bring to the game. More Dantagnan and Parthos tesing please :)
More of these videos with Coach!
Can finally afford the G400 Max. I've been anxiously awaiting this release!
Sorry you'll have to take my G400 Driver from my dead cold hands!!! Not a big fan of swinging weights. Great review. However, just got fitted for the G410 Irons and WOW... There are awesome. Can't wait for your review on them.
Far too expensive for me, but a great open honest review... love how you tell it as it is..... G400 max will hopefully be cheaper now.... never buy anything until iv'e checked your reviews.... hence my latest irons... 716 ap2
"Gets a bit TM'y." PUAHAHAA!!! Twist my face, this was some interesting side bars about golf tech in general. I like Ping drivers in general. They're not "thuddy" by any means, but works.
Another great review. And another great club from Ping. I agree that the dragonfly is better looking after getting used to it, but this is still very good looking. Ping is a class company
brilliant unbiased review
For me, it’s a lot nicer looking now that dragonfly has been hidden. Wonder what would happen without the weight in at all🤔. Great review.
Hey mark, can you stuff this one with cotton balls to mute it a bit like the g400s?
Great in depth review. I bought a g400max from Dan and I love it.
Evening Alan 👍
What you think Dan- is the 410 and improvement on the max?
I’ve always liked the max and I’m thinking about buying one on sale now that the 410 is out :)
Have always wondered what type of tee you and Dan are using in the video? Love Ping as a company. Couldn't seem to hit the G400 Max but love their irons and wedges.
isn't LS Tec coming in March Mark?
Maybe maybe. 👍
the ping rep I know has told me probably around july
Solid testing and honest review without any hype about a new release of another driver on the market! I like that a lot! Question: Why should I buy that new g410 to replace my old G400 then??? Any gain through new Inventions from Ping? Will the adjustable weights save me from that sometime horrible miss to the right?!? Is it Longer, or tighter Dispersion ... Can’t see the point ping is making, as long as they make the most forgiving and playable Drivers in my eye that suit the best for my hacker swing (hcp 9.9)
G400 max best driver of last year for me improved my driving no end. Never gamed ping driver before that. Think the 400 max still has life in it yet so will give this one a miss but another great ping stick
I do slide to the right. Should I position the weight on draw position ? and for more distance on-1,5 ?
Great review as always guys👍👍
Drivers are just looks and feels these days, sticking with my ping g, my fave looks and feel and doubt it will change
Nice review master Jedi, “I can feel the CG all around us” 👍
Great review, you and Dan are a dynamic duo. It appears Ping wanted to have a slideable weight but maybe ran into time constraints in putting this one into production. Have a feeling the 420 will have a lip and a slideable weight. If that’s not the case why put what appears to be a track ? Why not design it with 3 open slots ?
Another great honest review, nice work. Get outside Dan, work can wait 😁
As always great review boys very thorough are you going to continue reviews without giving their cost I ask because I have often test and purchase clubs based partly on your reviews with your belief positive or negative on the club and how the cost is relevant to the performance, I can get cost myself just curious bras
Just being devil's advocate, but if you point a flashlight at the wall from 1 inch away, then pull back, the focus spread of the beam widens the further back you get. This is the best analogy for MOI that I can think of.

Yes player overrides, but a significant amount of weight in the toe helps inhibit the player from overriding. But if I purchased this driver I too would leave it in the middle.
Every single time I have been fitted I will eventually adjust and overwrite the settings. Maybe this is an issue with feel vs mechanical players?
Mark when will you reviews the Wilson Staff D7 range?
I won’t I am sure
Great work lads , as a brand Ping make great stuff ....if the golfer is good enough to use it correctly. However I do understand why they have done the moveable weight because they need to sell products like any other company although I feel they put a lot of thought into their products.
Keep up the good work guys.
Think love the looks.
Love my G400 Max.
Looking forward to try the 410.
Love the show btw.
A brilliant review guys....lots of good info in there. Sliding weight seems like a good idea; would love to try it. Like you Mark, I really like the Ping ethos. 🏌🏻♂️🏌🏻♂️
Their driver is a bit high spin for me but based on company integrity I know where my next clubs are coming from even if I don’t hit it as far. Well done Ping
Helpful review on Ping's 2019 driver. How about a discussion on shaft "puring?" Is "puring" your club's shaft worth it?
No it’s not
Puring golf shaft's marketing jargon suggests that not all shaft's are made perfectly straight and round. As a result, the potential for inconsistent strikes due to shaft twisting and bending causes inconsistent strikes. Have you tested these claims?
Would you recommend this, I've got the ping g ls tec fitted with the tour 65 shaft. I am looking to upgrade and am not wanting to leave ping. I have the callaway rogue sub zero that I like but not as much as my ping. Is it worth upgrading this new or the g400 series worth checking out ? The money difference is noticable but is the adjustable weight worth that big a upgrade
Been waiting for Ping to bring out an adjustable hybrid. Waiting for your review on it before I buy bruh. Is that coming soon?
Quality review guys
Great review guys,, Thanks !
Was wondering what difference would the changeable flat lie angle make?
You need to do a blind weight test with mid to high handycap, you might override the weights but I don’t believe I would
I like the sound
Can't wait to test this in Feb :-) Just sad about the name, G410 doesn't seem to mean anything and only sounds like a small incremental change from the previous G400.
question. Dan did that video where he changed his set up and was hitting driver 272. Has he gone away from that set up? given numbers are now more in the 257 range.
Long Long test but very good!
Great review gents
love my 400 max but if you guys are hitting the tour stiff shaft (as I have also) do you think Id be better with the regular with my 140 ball speed?
Love Ping for the same reasons. Waiting for LST to hit the used market 😁
Did you get it?
Very good dispersion, both LR and long/short.... but how much is just very good contact repeatability.... strike is king. Or a distant hope in my case 🙏
I always thought the weights affected the closure rate of the face a lot more than they affect cg
Question for u mark my club head speed is 113 and 270 carry is dat good?
good review.... and other ping club that goes in my "looks horrible" list with near enough every other ping club
Hi mark what shaft did you have in the ping driver ?👍
Try testing with a 16g weight in every port. What will happen? Higher launch, higher spin?
Should hit it without the weight. Would that have any effect on the spin, since there is less weight in the back
