Ping G400 Driver Review

The Ping G400 is designed for any player seeking maximum accuracy and forgiveness. Streamlined head design, a thin forged face, a customizable tungsten backweight, and a thin crown and skirt make the G400 one of the most well-built drivers available.

The head shape of the G400 is smaller (445 cc) and much more aerodynamic than the previous G driver. Incorporation of Vortec Technology and turbulators on the crown reduce drag mid-downswing by 40% and overall by 15% resulting in faster clubhead speed, ball speed, and more stability at impact.

The forged T9S+ face is one of the most flexible on the market meaning it literally bends upon contact creating a trampoline effect that increases ball speed. Because the face is forged instead of cast, it provides the player with a solid feel and more precise feedback on mishits.

Dragonfly Technology has made the top of the club incredibly thin which enables the center of gravity to be moved lower and further back in the club creating optimal conditions for high launch and  low spin . The thinner crown and lower center of gravity also increase MOI.

The high-density tungsten backweight is the most forgiving feature of the G400. The weight is also interchangeable allowing players to customize their swing weight and adjust the loft one degree up or down.

The Ping G400 driver is one of the most forgiving and high-performing drivers on the market. We found it to have a great combination of looks, feel, sound, and most importantly, performance.

The G400 has a compact, strong look at address with a matte black crown that focuses your attention on the ball. The crown features Ping's Dragonfly technology which makes it ultra-thin (.43mm) to save weight, along with large Turbulators near the face to reduce drag.

In terms of feel and sound, the G400 is incredibly solid and quiet at impact, with a deep, rich tone that golfers love. Even on mishits, the feedback through your hands is excellent.

The real standout is the performance. Ping says the G400 has the "deepest CG and highest MOI in golf" and we found this to be true. The forgiveness is simply incredible - ball speed barely drops on mishits and the ball stays in play.We tested the standard G400 head, the draw-biased SFT, and the low-spin LST. The standard head is the best fit for most players, while the SFT helps straighten out a slice and the LST reduces spin for faster swing speeds.

Overall, the Ping G400 driver is a no-brainer upgrade for most golfers. It instills confidence off the tee with its combination of distance, accuracy, and forgiveness. We highly recommend giving it a try.
