This driver will be shaved to increase it’s COR and outperform it’s stock performance levels. The more aerodynamic design and lighter crown work synergistically with our shaving process to create one of the longest hitting drivers ever!
PING had great success with its G30 and G drivers, each of which ranked among golf’s most forgiving drivers. But company engineers felt that there were still improvements that could be made, most notably in terms of ball speed and distance, which were the top priorities when it came to designing the new G400 driver. And there are multiple technologies utilized in the G400 that are creating more ball speed and distance for players. First, the G400 features a more streamlined design and at 445cc there is 15 percent less drag created on the downswing, which equates to increased clubhead speed. Its clubface also has undergone a forging process that makes it thinner and more flexible without any loss of strength. More specifically, the face is six percent thinner and 16 percent more flexible, a combination that gives golfers more ball speed from all impact locations. What’s most impressive, however, is that even with the more streamlined, compact design, the G400 is even more forgiving than its predecessors and can claim more than 9,000 MOI points. Fueling the high level of forgiveness is Dragonfly Technology, which enabled a lightweight crown and skirt that gave designers discretionary weight that was used to establish a low, deep CG position. Additionally, a strategically placed tungsten sole weight optimizes stability and launch conditions. Also different for the G400 when compared to the G30 and G will be its sound and feel, which was another top priority for PING engineers. The G400 utilizes a new internal rib structure to deliver acoustics and feel that are more muted and crisp than was found in previous models. As has been the case with recent PING driver releases, consumers will have three models to choose from. The standard G400 will fit the widest array of players and is available in lofts of 9 and 10.5 degrees. It features a new stock shaft in the Alta CB, which is slightly counterbalanced to pair well with a heavier clubhead (206 grams) to maximize energy transfer at impact. PING does, however, offer additional aftermarket shaft options for players to choose from. All G400 drivers also feature a lightweight, adjustable hosel that offers five settings to adjust loft by +/- 1 degree, as well as the driver’s lie angle, to help players optimize ball flight. The stock length for the PING G400 driver is 45 3/4 inches and the swingweight is D3.

Kenneth Gallinger –
This is the second driver I have bought from Worlds Hottest Drivers. The first one was a Ping G30 that I still have and love but I admin that I am a little bit obsessed with Ping and Worlds Hottest Drivers at this point. The first thing you notice about this G400 is the sound. It is like an old school “thwack” instead of the more modern “ping” sound we have all gotten used to. I actually really love the sound and the feedback it gives you. I feel like this driver is a tad more forgiving than the G30. This club hits about 5 yards further than my shaved G30 which I felt gave me about 18-20 yards over the stock G30. So in all, I
I’d guess the shaved version of the G400 is giving me close to 25 yards extra distance over what it is when stock. I used 20 grams of lead tape on the bottom of this driver because I like a little heavier feel.
