Ping G700? Irons in Spring

[Green Valley]

New Ping website Is up as well.

 

Sure is. Thank you for that update. I wonder if that Ping Pionner bag (i've been eyeing) is the new one 2018 or if its still the 2017. I will call them after Christmas.

Any idea of specs on G400 Max? 460 CC? Draw biased?

 

460cc. Weight is neutral. Supposed to launch 1.5* higher than stated loft.

 

Is that because the real loft is 1.5* higher than stated loft? Ping used to do that with all their drivers.

 

Not a fan of the face graphics, other than that it looks identical to the G400

Nope just the design of the head was what I was told.

Still confused on what this is going to be. Some have said it’s not far off from the P790 so that makes it smaller than the G400 correct? But then some have said replacement for the Gmax and not SGI.

[dplasters]

WorldWideGolf took the link/images down from their site. For those that didn't see it, imagine if a P790 and a G400 Crossover made babies and they were hollow. That is the G700.

 

I just want a #2 G400 Crossover :-(

Thanks for the pic. Clean!

 

If that's the SGI/G-Max replacement, sure does look good. Nowhere near the busy looks of the old GMax.

 

I like where PING is going with their iron designs. Over the past few years, they, along with Mizuno have been releasing some of the best looking (and performing) irons. This bodes well for the i200 and iBlade replacements down the road.

Oh, one other thing...I can see PXG suing PING over this design, just like they did TM.

 

Guess they need to do something to distract us from the god-awful cringe inducing interview (read: commercial) with Paige Spirinac.

 

I still have nightmares over that dialogue lol.

Reps state that it is taking the place of the GMax in the lineup.

My guess is that these are the larger prototype for a smaller hollow design for the i200 replacement. My wish is that the i200 replacement will have the same matching stealth finish as the new wedges. My hope is that my wife doesn't beat me with a frying pan when I drop huge coin on an entire new set.

This is how I somewhat imagined the G400 looking like when they started talking about them. G700, I200 and Iblade look so much cleaner than the G400...

If they are hollow why have the “injection” screw in the toe like the crossovers. Maybe how they inject CTP for swingweight. If they fill it maybe Taylormade and PXG can sue them.. Not sure what material is put in the screw hole on the crossovers..

It can be used for Hot Melt in swing weighting.

PXG is full of Ping engineers, what if the G700 is something Ping had been working on but thought the cost point was too high so the engineers who left created it at PXG.

 

Although this club looks more like the P790 than the PXG. The silver stripe with they branding is almost identical.

Then PING would have held all those PXG patents but they don’t

I wasn't in the market for new irons.

Now I might be...

At least in this picture that sure doesn't look like a SGI type club.

My local retailer says the G700s were ordered a while back but won’t be in the store until the end of March.

[Green Valley]

March can not come soon enough. Freezing here in Chicago and literally dreaming about these clubs and warm weather. Hawaii please!!! I will definitely hold off and have heard great things to come for Ping in 2018.

[Foreleft]

Completely satisfied with my i200’s, so I don’t see moving from them, but will be interested in how they feel.

 

If they are a hollow head without dampening material, I wonder how Ping avoided the aluminum baseball bat feel and sound.

Is Ping betting that you'll play the (G700) in the short irons and the Crossover in the 3-5 irons? Why make a set that looks just like another product that your trying to sell.

 

Because 1) The Crossover is a driving iron designed for the iBlade/i200 crowd that snap hook the bejesus out of a hybrid and/or find hybrids far too spinney and lack versatility. 2) The Crossover only goes down to a 5i, so it's a weird transition from Crossover that is really long from heel to toe (more blade-like appearance) to go to a short and stubby GI iron.

 

Having said all of this, this G700 or G400 Max iron or whatever it is called REALLY has my attention now. I like the look of the P790 but find the G400 performs better for me. If I can get a best of both worlds thing going on, Ping is going to seriously hemorrhage my bank account.

 

Curious what you did here - did you get the G Crossover? Or a 3i of one of the series? I can't hit a hybrid anymore to save my life - totally hook it. I am debating going with the Ping G crossover. I am hesitant to just go 3i.

Thanks

G400 Max is a Driver addition. $435 sounds high for a 460cc driver from PING.

[Bump10]

I'm going to guess it'll sell for $399. MSRP and actual selling price for Ping don't always line up.

 

Our rep said these are a direct replacement for the GMax...but they look better at address than the G400 to me. Just have to wait and see what people think about them in person.

 

The Stealth wedges look amazing in person. Like others have said on here, they are a little different from the originals and 2.0's. It's definitely for the better.

[pingman_24]

What are the chances of the new stuff being up on the ping website tomorrow. I recall them launching stuff on 2nd January before.

[RodrigoNicely]

From what I was told new stuff should be announced this week. Wouldn’t give me exact day though

[Foreleft]

Any truth that these are being positioned to take on the new PXG iron and will be $799 per iron, to undercut their price?

[specimania]

They are going to be priced the same a set 790's fro. What I was told

[erock9174]

Any talk of a release date ? Was at club Champion last week and I asked them about these and they say they met with Ping recently and Ping never mentioned a word about them.
