Ping G400 Max vs. Ping G410 Plus
Norboo ·
Any real world by average golfer reviews? Is it worth the upgrade? Is 410 longer and more forgiving than the 400?
How is the 410 SFT vs. 400 SFT?

Now, if you pick one off the rack and happen to get a shaft that works for your move, you might find buried treasure. You never know. A dollar and a dream.

Isn't the 410 and the 410 plus the same thing?

The advantage of the G410 Plus over the G400Max is adjustability, at the cost of a little forgiveness.
The Max only comes in 2 lofts (yes you can digitally loft) and the hotel has limited adjustability.
The 410 comes in more lofts, has more settings on the hotel and you can move the weight into a draw or fade position. This gives you or your fitter far more options to fit the driver correctly to your personal swing tendencies.

For me, I got pretty much the same numbers from both of them, however my dispersion was better with my gamer which I attribute to the shaft, since the only comparable shaft they had was the stock Tour shaft. The 410 did sound better and the additional adjustability is a great addition. If dialed in, the 410 could perhaps give me a few more yards, but not enough for me to fork out the dough for a new driver. That being said, the hybrid and fairway wood are seriously under consideration for spots in the bag this year.

I see you and a couple others mention the sound. How would you compare the sound of the 410 to the 400max? After hitting the max in my garage range for a few balls my ears are ringing. After about 20 I've had enough. Wondering if the 410 is a little more muted.

Wasn't aware that was the case. I didn't remember the "plus" part.

I took it to the range one time since I bought it and people were looking at me to see what all the racket was about!

Today I hit both the G400Max and the G410 Plus.
Dispersion and total distance was very similar between the two, but G410 Plus felt significantly better to me, and the sound was slightly better than 400 Max.
Add the adjustability of the 410 and I was easily convinced I liked it better. I PLAN to get better with strike location, so as I get better I can change the weight out of the Draw bias.
Walked out with a new driver 10 business days away for the first time since 2012.
Fitting information side comment - I game a TaylorMade R1. My fitter said he wouldn’t let someone pay him to try to get me into a TM driver. Said they’re nowhere near as forgiving as the ping drivers.
As with everything, keep that grain of salt nearby, but I had no reason to distrust the fitter. He knew all kinds of data about me just by watching me swing.

Start by putting the weight towards the heel, then increase the loft if you want the face a bit more closed.

Just on a draw bias.
Note: G410 SFT is super draw bias vs. G400 SFT. G410 Plus on Draw bias is same as G400 SFT in terms of draw bias.

I have no basis for arguing one is better than the other, but the reason tour players switch is almost entirely based on what their sponsor agreements require them to do. You can bet every club manufacturer pays a huge premium to get their players in the newest driver ASAP. Using tour players as a reference is seriously flawed.
