Ping's new G410 LST driver

The moveable weight varies in weight to achieve swingweight just like I the past. Typically 16 or 14 grams on fairly common shafts/lengths/grips. They go heavier & lighter if needed to match requested swingweight.

Thanks for that, @Frid_the_kid .

@Frid_the_kid is right. I ordered my LST at 44.5 and it came with a 12g weight. My Plus was 45.25” and came with a 14g. I think 14 come standard in most of the stock/demo heads for the Plus and 12g in the SFT. Did all kinds of testing on trackman yesterday between the Plus and the LST and ended up with the exact LST setup PING sent me. The Plus looked huge compared to the LST despite being only 5cc apart.

You sure it’s 15 for digital loft? I was at club champion Friday and was told it was 60 bucks.

haha correct

Mine hasn't.

[Ryan5508]

I ordered on May 23rd and was emailed to expect it in 7-14 business days

[J13]

> @BirdieBob said:

Saw this. It's pretty much what you would expect from Ping. Small incremental improvements. It's basically a slightly higher MOI G400LST with more loft and weight adjustability. I think the Plus model is the bigger improvement over the Max as it has really high MOI, lower spin and more adjustability

Well they double check the loft when they receive it so Ping gets $15 and CC checks it 3x's at $15 a pop. So do the math - $60 haha

Like they do for most everything

[BearQ]

Well as I see more pictures and info about this driver. I’m drooling. Pings website page of this club is exactly what I’m looking for in a retail head. Awesome

 

Can’t wait to test it! Hopefully they bring some worthwhile shafts on my course fitting day...

[pingplaya6]

Ordered Mine May 14th, was told then that shipping would be on May 30th..... pray it comes sooner!!!

[lohdcp]

Got mine this past Friday with the Ventus 6x shaft. Played this weekend, and this driver is the real deal. Played the G400 LST with Accra RPG xtra stiff shaft. The new 410 feels hotter off the shaft and is very workable. Distance wise, had multiple 300+ yard drives, can see the ball floating in the air with mid height launch, and when it hits the ground, there are massive forward hops and ground runs. Perfect driver for Texas wind and hard fairways.

I'm about the same boat as you, though I think I ordered a little earlier. Still no shipping update...would have been nice for it to come earlier.

[GolfMonster09]

Played another 9 today in this lovely spring Texas wind. This club just doesn’t disappoint. Didn’t miss a fairway, didn’t pay attention to the average distance but the wind didn’t have a big effect on flight. Had irons into both par 5s and wedges into most of the par 4s. She’s a keeper for sure. Hope y’all get yours soon!

I’ve heard that CC uses an ouija board to contact Karsten and have him loft the driver from the beyond as well. So not only is the head digitally lofted but spiritually lofted too. It’s then triple checked by using a Magic 8 Ball. Is the head 9.35 degrees of loft? Signs point to yes.

 

If that’s true, $60 is a steal for that service.

[johnnypro]

PING CS just told me the G410 LST would be in the PGASS on Long Island tomorrow.

BUT.....if I wanted a 10.5 with the Tensei Orange, it wouldn't ship until June 26th.

What's up with that?

[cz13X4]

Come on ping. Make this magically show up at my door

It's not digitally lofted when Karsten does it from beyond, they prefer to call it Spiritually Lofted and charge $20, still $40 cheaper than CC.

[ohiohunter2]

I know not many have it yet, but those who do. Are you noticing the same neutral to fade bias of the g400lst? Thanks!

Maybe a slight bit, but not hugely noticeable. I play a fade most of the time anyway.

[mesomike]

So who has advice where to order this. I don't have many options in St. Louis and want it digitally lofted. I went to golf galaxy yesterday and they were completely confused when I asked about digital lofting, and I don't feel comfortable ordering through them now.
