I just purchased this driver last night. Anyone currently playing this model? 
 

1st impression, the look of the driver. Very appealing to the eye at address. Hitting in a bay getting 220-230 yards was interesting all shots were in a certain window. All on the fake fairway. 
 

I hope this transfers to the course and a bit more distance also with the ball I use and the swing of being outside. 
 

The shaft does feel a bit light, only 20 or so swings so an adjustment for sure. I want to say the reg flex is around 59 grams. Maybe wrong.

Ping makes good drivers. I’ve used the standard G400 since it came out and switched to the G410 Plus after a fitting over the winter. We tried different head and shaft combinations but Ping still came out the winner for me.

SFT tech is legit. I cannot believe how well this driver plays. I hit 1 slice in the 2 days I have played with it. That slice was due to me. I purposely made the swing to see if the damn thing would slice, it did. 
 

The really good news for me is I am on the fairway. Maybe 2-5 yards shorter than my M1. But fairways are consistent. I highly recommend a Ping sft driver. 
 

I may need to check out the fairway woods.  Amazing!

I’m friends with my area Ping reps.  When the g400sft came out I hit it at demo day.  The rep called it their best kept secret.  He was right.

I killed it, and every one of them went left...exactly what it was supposed to do!!!  And it was long.  I own a G400max because that also does what Ping claims.  I do kill the Max, it’s also longer than anything I’ve ever hit but the accuracy is stupid good... so good that I’d keep using it even if it was 10 yards shorter than anything else.

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.   
    • Day 550 - 2026-04-04 Practiced in the sim at a club for awhile. Did a SW ladder and practiced for awhile with my 7I.
