The weight can be changed for swinging purposes. You could also shave the weight you have if it's too heavy.

Ping G425 irons w/Accra ICWT 2.0 95

I’m with you. I added 5’ of yarn and it made some difference but still too piercingly loud for my taste and it had my ears ringing on the range after a couple of hits. I tried to remove the yarn for 30 minutes with a paper clip and I can’t find it anywhere. I think it slipped into some black home deep down in my driver head lol.

Just joined WRX tonight, been reading the equipment forums for years, also a recovering Club Ho. Currently play the G400 Max, but did have the G410 Plus for awhile. The 410 is a great driver, but for me the 400 Max was longer, more forgiving. As weird as it may sound I feel like I can work the ball better with the Max. The 410 seemed to launch a bit lower, and I could not hit my standard baby draw with it on a consistent basis. Both had same shaft, grip, settings. The moveable weight didn't do much for me. Youtube has some good head to head videos when the 410 was released.

When I first got the GMax, I decided to cut it and that was a big mistake. So I decided to give the GMax another shot, and lengthened it to 46 1/4", and used the 12.5 gram weight. It is now in the bag. At first I tried it with the standard weight and it wasn't working, so I added the heavier weight and it came alive. Hit some great long and straight drives. Did I say long!!!

Bag is in overhaul mode

I posted about a month ago on this thread as I have a max off the tour van that has been hot melted and it is amazing. One thing that did surprise me is how well it has worked with a longer counterbalanced ALTA shaft. I did not get along with this shaft using the LST head - but something just clicks with it and the Max head. There is a noticeable sound of the shaft whipping through impact when I swing this combo. Wicked long and straight...

Just ordered a G400 Max 10.5 head to replace a G400 SFT 12 degree. Hit the Max in a local store and liked the way it setup and the numbers off the launch monitor. Been playing the G400 SFT for the last 2 seasons, really like it, but a little too draw bias. Can't wait to get the Max hopefully it will be easier to hit a fade when needed.

In the bag, at the moment:

Just got back from deployment and was on the fence between a F9 and a 400. The more I read, the more it muddied. Ended up getting a regular g400 10.5.. So of course a max 10.5 pops up on ebay an hour later....
