Ping G400 is a complete family launch, including driver irons and new fairways with serious ball speed-boosting tech.

Ping says that this new face of maraging steel is the biggest improvement over older models. It is frequently used in aircraft’s landing gear.

As a result, Ping say their G400 fairway wood can produce an increase in ball speed of 2mph, and with a lower leading edge and the addition of smart grooves, it will be a lot easier to launch in the air to create further distance.

To maximise distance in the fairway woods and hybrids, PING has employed C300 maraging steel as the face material for their Ping G400 Fairway. One of the strongest alloys in the world, maraging steel is commonly used in the aerospace industry, where strength and flexibility are necessities. They are ideal for delivering more flexibility to allow faster ball speeds and launch shots further.

John A. Solheim stated, “Our primary goal for the G400 fairway woodens and hybrids is to provide significant distance gains and other performance benefits including forgiveness and the capability to launch the ball effortlessly.”

Because I am so involved in clubs year after year, my friends suggested I criticize them. The G400 Driver, fairway, and hybrid has changed that. While you can try the new stuff, I recommend that you return to G400s. I started with the G400 driver but went to the G400 Max 9 degree with point 6 degrees added .and haven’t looked back. Over 70, it was a long time since drives had a range of 250 to 250 yards. However, drives now have a range up to the 270 range on good days (not carry). The best part is I’m hitting more fairways. Because it’s 48 inches with the ALTA CB X Flex it can be used by younger players. All who had tried it said they were going to be 20 feet longer than their driver. ROLEX 17/18 Girl was the ranked ROLEX 17. She tried it, and was 20 feet from her best shot tee ball. Everyone who tried it was ready to buy it off me. My hybrid G400’s and the fairway G400’s seem to be improving, but I still like to tweak. The fairway 14.5 of my G400 is 13.9 inches long and 44.5″ wide. It also has the ALTA CBX Flex. G400 hybrid: 19°. The ALTA CB X Flex has been extended to 41.5″. Ball flight on all clubs is penetrating with height you’d expect from X Flex. Although grips were modified for the best feel, it worked well for me. I used two wraps on standard size Tour Velvet style grips. I would not have thought to use the X Flex shaft as it is too stiff. I just bought the G40013 degree Stretch and a PING Tour X43″ shaft. It will be amazing with my ALTA 3 Wood shaft.

Yes.

I recommend this product.

Gear WITB Drivers Fairways Hybrids Irons Wedges Putters Balls Apparel Shoes Carts Bags Gloves Grips Shafts DMDs Training Aids New Releases Reviews Videos Ping G400 fairway wood review Ping Ping G400 Fairway Woods Review Ping has designed the new G400 fairway woods to give you incredible ball speed off the face and remarkable stopping power coming into the greens.

This new fairway woods feature a brand new maraging stainless steel face. Ping has created a club face with 28% less thickness and 18% more strength than its G range.

This means that the G400 has a 30% higher flexing rate at impact. It is the longest and most durable fairway wood ever made by the brand. You can also increase your distance with the face texture, which reduces spin. Additionally, the cascading sole of this head increases face flexing to allow for greater launch.

Due to their higher density backweight, thinner crown, and longer length, Ping has increased the MOI. These fairway woods are not only extremely long but also very versatile and forgiving.

I was fitted into the lower spinning Stretch model, designed with a slightly larger head, slightly forward CG and a lower loft of 13@. An SFT model is available for anyone who needs more help with drawing the ball, or to keep shots that tend toward the right straighter.

You will be inspired by the G400’s attractive rounded shape when looking down at its address. The larger turbulators in the crown of club have been designed to not only increase club head speed, but to also frame and align the ball.

This 3-wood was so low and lofty, the ball flight that it provided me with was truly impressive. The ball launched very high but had low spin. This resulted in impressive carrying distances. Not only that, the ball also came to a pretty quick stop when hitting into the greens from such long range. The adjustable hosel allows you to dial in the ball flight more precisely.

In this, Fairway Wood Test: TaylorMade M2 v Ping G400 v Callaway Steelhead XR we put three of the most popular fairway woods on the market up against each other to see how they perform.

Fairway Wood Test: TaylorMade vs. Ping G400 v Callaway Steelhead XR. Choosing the correct fairwaywood is one of most challenging equipment purchasing decisions. Because it must be able to play from both the tee or the deck, while still providing power and accuracy. Golfers tend to keep their fairway woods in the bag for long periods of time when they find one that suits them.

To give our opinion on these popular models, we tested the TaylorMade v Ping G400 v Callaway Steelhead XR. We used Titleist Pro V1s and stock shafts for each club. The GC Quad was used for the launch monitor data.

Aesthetics The Callaway Steelhead XR will be popular in this department as it harks back to the old Warbird fairways of years gone by. It’s easy to spot the familiar features such as the V-shape bottom and face markings. However, the designers wanted to give it a more modern look and this version has a blue-ish finish on the crown that, if truth be told, I wasn’t too keen on but that I got used to quite quickly. Ping G400’s classic design is enhanced by modern flair thanks to the addition of turbulators. For me, however, I think the TaylorMadeM2 is the most outstanding of them all. It looks stunning behind the ball and has great shelf appeal. Moreover, it is has shallow face profile and that is exactly what I look for in a fairway wood to use from a range of different lies.

The TaylorMade TaylorMadeM2 was a long tee. A total carry yardage of 258 is great for me. Also good was the higher launch angle. At 13.4@there is no doubting this is a high launch, low spin club that, would be a great second driving option. Another notable aspect was the accuracy of the Ping and the fact that the Callaway Steelhead XR spun almost 1000 rpm faster than the TaylorMadeM2. The Callaway certainly lost in this section.

The Fairway The most fascinating part of this testing was the comparision between the data taken from the tee and that on the fairway. The Callaway Steelhead XR is now a great player. That extra spin made it the best performer off the deck – somehow it was longer off the deck than off the tee (this was ultimately down to slight variations in strike, but still!). The Callaway measured three feet longer than both the TaylorMade (which was 7 yards shorter than the Ping), and it had seven yards more length than the Ping. It also launched a little higher than the other two. Although the Ping’s accuracy was not great, it did a better job for me on the course. Actually, the G400 would be my choice if I needed to hit a safe target.

TaylorMade M2 Fairway Wood Review

I haven’t yet mentioned the fairway woods, but that shouldn’t downplay these equally impressive designs.

G400 fairwaywoods use a low-profile, flat head. This allows for a comfortable address position and enables the golf ball to hit with a firm, consistent “thwack”. The G400 fairway woods have reworked Turbulators that draw your eye directly to the golf balls, something which is not the case for many fairway wooden designs.

Bottom line: My verdict is the G400 Fairway Woods are winners.

Take my word for it. Ping has his own opinions on the G400 driver’s and G400 fairwaywoods. You can also see full photos of Ping and in-hand shots. Finally, contact your local GOLFTEC office to get these incredible designs from Ping.
