Looks awesome in person, saw the regular and LST a week ago. Seem to be smaller than previous G series which is great. Not a fan of the burnt orange color scheme though.

 

Burnt orange like the junior driver?

 

It's definitely more of a copper/bronze color than burnt orange

Hopefully Greg has some in hands shots soon. I like the simplicity.

As long as it gets a bit faster in the ball speed department and sounds better, I'll be happy. I'm not going to get more adjustability however... :(

Wow those look really good. The crown is a little busy for me but the copper and torched look on the sole is really nice.

 

I could do an all Ping bag this year no problem.

Comparing to my current G from the crown or the address position they are very similar other than the little dimples to the rear of the crown. The sole is very different, so I am guessing the changes are all under the hood other than the rumor of G400 being slightly smaller. I have not been bothered by feel or sound of the G, but I am sure I will see what the G400 has to offer and if it clearly out performs the current G I will put one in the bag. The head cover looks good too.

Hmm not loving the looks of the driver. Holding out hope for the irons.

 

Based upon what we've seen so far, I would expect the irons to be similar to the G irons (which is not a bad thing IMO).

I'll have to wait to see these in person, but from the top it looks very similar to the current G lineup. I applaud Ping for keeping their changes subtle. But, for someone like myself who doesn't care for the current driver, I was hoping for something different to try and pull me in.

It is a very interesting move by Ping to switch to a smaller head. More aerodynamics, and did someone say a forged face?!?!?

 

This brings back memories of my M1 430 shafted with an Elements Chrome 6F4T which I thought was long until it got totally destroyed by the Ping G LS with the Tour 65. The G, while bigger at 460CC seemed to be faster. Could be just in my head but it proved itself to me as one of the best ever Ping drivers I had in my hands including besting the G10 7.5 and G15 7.5.

 

Come 2017, the new King in my bag is the ATMOS SubZero, that driver brought my balls to places where I was hitting it 10 years ago before my crook bad.

 

Right now, I would get the G400 and see how it compares but I think & expectation is little to no difference. My Atmos SZ combo is maxed out with the ball I am playing, it is longer than my G so for the G400 to leapfrog it, "I like to see that"

 

One thing I miss in my current driver is the sound of the G, I like metallic sound much better than the muted SZ but results are results. Now an Atmos G400 could be very lethal :)

 

Fish on, Fish on...

I'm a huge Ping fan, but I would be very surprised if the G400 can match the ballspeeds of the M2 and Epic

That remains to be seen. That being said, Solheim the younger looks like he's breaking away from his father's mold and beginning to pull out some of the stops. From what I've been hearing, the ball speeds are faster, it's just a matter of how fast. PING is all about forgiveness. I personally don't know of a driver that's more forgiving than a PING. And I've used a LOT of drivers. :)
