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 G400 LST (Low Spin Technology) has been designed to reduce spin rates by as much as 300-400 RPM, which will make it a great option for high-spin players. It is available in lofts of 8.5 and 10 degrees and features a new stock shaft in the Alta CB, which is slightly counterbalanced to pair well with a heavier clubhead (208 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 LST driver is 45 3/4 inches and the swingweight is D4.

Ideal For:
Players of all ability levels who need help in lowering their spin rate to achieve optimal results with the driver. The tungsten weight utilized in the sole of the G400 LST has been positioned slightly more forward to create less spin and a slightly flatter trajectory, attributes often desired by high swing speed players. Players who don’t need spin reduction, however, should probably think about the standard G400, which would likely prove to be a better fit.
Faster Shape
The streamlined design along with bolder Turbulators and Vortec Technology creates less drag on the downswing to help players increase clubhead speed.
Dragonfly Technology
Enables a lightweight, ultra-thin crown and skirt, which allowed discretionary weight to be repositioned to achieve an optimal CG location and higher MOI.
Forged Face
A forging process to complete construction of the clubface creates a face that’s thinner and more flexible, which produces faster ball speeds from all impact points.
Tungsten Sole Weight
Strategically positioned tungsten in the sole improves stability at impact and promotes optimal launch conditions.
What They're Saying ...
“We’re coming off a couple of high-performing drivers in the G30 then the G driver that led the marketplace in mechanical horsepower. They’re super straight, really good launch conditions, and we worked really hard with the G400 to advance that even further. So it’s higher inertia, the CG is lower and deeper, and it goes faster through the air. But we also focused on the motivation to the player. The driver looks amazing in the playing position, a little sleeker shape, less lines, and the sound and feel of this driver is absolutely phenomenal.”
Marty Jertson, PING Director of Product Development
“We’re trying to make that fitting process simple with three fully optimized models. We have the SFT model, Straight Flight Technology. The tungsten weighting is in the heel. That helps it square up a little easier, and the swingweight is also a little bit lighter. The standard version, the tungsten weight is placed optimally low-back so we can max out the inertia and dynamic loft. And then we have the LS Tec where the tungsten weight is placed in front of the high density back weight. (That) moves the CG more forward and gets the spin down about 300-400 RPM for those that need that to optimize their trajectory.”
Marty Jertson, PING Director of Product Development

what is the difference between the soft regular vs regular? what would you reccomend for a 84 yr old golfer with an 19 index?
Asked by: JACK5525
Soft regular flex will be a little lighter and more flexible than the regular flex. It's better for slower swing speeds. If your driver swing speed is below 85 mph, soft regular may be the best choice.

what is the alta C B shaft? How does this differ then other shafts? Please give me as much info as possible. Don't know if this is something I should look into
Asked by: Chuck S
According to the shaft information under the description tab the Alta CB 55 shaft is a lighter weight. The torgue in all flexes would is considered mid. Also the launch in all the flexes is considered a mid-to-high. Rather than the Ping Tour 65 shaft where the torque and launch is different for each flex.

What's the difference between the reg shaft and the soft regular shaft?
Asked by: hdlast
The soft regular shaft is lighter and more flexible, like PING's equivalent to a senior flex.

Best driver that I have ever boughtMy fitter recommended this Driver to help me get my spin rate down even before they were on the market. He had a new demo and the first time I hit it I new it was for me. I ordered one and have played with it ever since. Increased by distance dramatically and I also hit most fairways. My son-in-law noticed my improvement and ordered one for himself and had the same great experience.

Fabulous Driver!!!!!My previous driver was an Epic SZ, which I loved and thought I could not find a driver any better. Out of boredom I went to a local chain golf store and tried the regular G400 and the LST version. I had no intention of buying one. I was impressed by the LST. I went home and did an online Ping fitting and went back and tried their recommended combo - 10 degree with the Tour 65 shaft - and was sold. The driver arrived from TGW in less than a week and I took it and the Epic SZ to the range. The G400 gave me better dispersion, which I thought wasn't possible. On course testing should not only better dispersion, but it was longer by as much as 10 yards. For me, this is now the best driver I have ever owned and the Epic SZ has been bumped from the bag. The Epic SZ is still a great driver.

Great improvement from PingI love the muted sound and stability feel of the head. I have only
played two nine hole rounds but noticed immediately noticed improvement in accuracy, shot dispersion. This driver found a place in my bag.

decent not greatGot the club last fall, overall looks is one of the best out there performance for me not that great the smaller head gives you less to work a ball. Maybe the lower spin driver just not for me, i have the new G400Max and its 10 times the driver this one is maybe the hzrdu black shaft I put in it was why
