Ping G410 3 Wood Review
Ping G410 Fairway Wood Review
Ping might not be the first brand to come up when considering a new fairway wooden, but their recent offerings have been a success. Ping was not known for creating massive modifications, but they have made several improvements to their G410 fairway wood that they feel will improve the golfer's experience.
Quick Take The G410 fairwaywood is Ping's latest club. This clubs combines high ball speeds with an easy-to-launch design, which should be a great fit for many golfers. Ping also offers the G410 fairway as an SFT and LST models.
PING G410 Fairway Wood Intending to help golfers generate more ball speed, Ping has gone with a maraging steel c300 face, which has been thinned out to increase the amount of flexing that goes on at impact. For improved ball speeds and better launch conditions, the center point of gravity under the hood has been reduced and placed more strategically. The club's back edge has a high density tungsten weight. This will help with off-center strikes and allow for ping to adjust the swing weight.
Ping didn't get on board with the adjustable hosel trend until 2012, when they launched the Anser Driver. They have made the hosel transition to the head look seamless from that moment onwards. Ping has an adapter which is quite bulky. However, it's much simpler and offers more loft options. With the adaptation, eight settings are available, which allows you to change your loft elevation by 1.5deg. Golfers can also play this club in a flatter lie while still being able to add or subtract 1deg of loft.
Ping recently had some great success with their metal woods division, which was why there was plenty of enthusiasm to see the G410 fairwaywood out on the golf course. After an initial range session, I was more comfortable using the adjustable-hosel flat settings, which allowed me to feel the club as a natural fit. Generally speaking, a 5-wood is not a club that gets used a ton off of the tee, but it proved to be more than just a play for position club because of the distance that was being produced. I was truly amazed at the potential of the 3-wood in this position. Tee shots were rewarded with a ball flight that was high-flying and fell from left to right.
It is not uncommon for shots to feel uncomfortable on the greens. Many amateur golfers find that shots over 200 yards are a good choice. This long approach shot was where the G410 really excelled, even though it looked great from the tee. It can be difficult to get the ball up high in Fairway woods. Because of this thought, the ball flight resulted in shots that were pleasantly high above my usual.
It was not likely that you believed we would make it past the review without including the turbulators, did you? The turbulators are found on this fairwaywood, and while I do not find them annoying, they really frame the ball well. The G410 club was designed to ease anxiety on stressful shots by combining a friendly-sized head with a shallower height and easy launch.
Review Ping G410 Woods
G410 fairwaywoods were given an upgrade from G400. It now has a lower face which makes it look slightly more appealing from aesthetic standpoint.
The CG was moved forward, and now lies closer to the sole as well as the face. This helps produce a greater ball flight and more distance.
You get all the forgiveness of previous versions, and even more with this G410. It also comes standard with a high density tungsten weight back.
C300 maraging iron is used to make the face. It is very thin and lightweight, which allows for increased ball speed, shot height, and distance.
There are three wood options: 3-wood (14.5°), 5-wood (17.5°), and 9-wood (23.5°) choices. All fairway woods have 1.5 degrees of adjustment with eight settings.
Ping G410 LST Timbers Review. The Ping LST timbers replaces G400 Stretch.
The LST woods, like the LST driver have a smaller head. The CG have also be placed lower and even further forward to promoting a higher ball flight and low spin.
Review Ping G410 Sft Woods
Straight Flight Technology is why the Ping G410 SFT woods gets its name.
Woods have a weight on the heel side of the SFT that helps produce straight flight. It is placed around the perimeter of your head and acts as a draw bias, correcting any slices or fades.
Similar to the other models above, the faces are made from C300 maraging iron and very thin for increased ball speeds, shot length, and shot height.
Club heads in the G410 range are the biggest, increasing the MOI. The SFT models' lofts are 1.5 degrees more than those of standard. This is to facilitate easier launch and straighter balls.
A 3-wood can be purchased at 16 degrees. An 5-wood can be bought at 19 degrees. And a 7-wood at 22. You can adjust each one by 1.5 degrees.
