The PING G400 driver certainly looks smaller, sleeker and more streamlined than the previous PING G model. While this may reduce confidence over the ball for some, they can gain assurance from the fact the MOI (resistance to twisting on off-centre hits) is actually higher despite reducing in size. The infinity crown with what looks almost like perforated detailing on the back of the head perhaps makes the head look even smaller than it is and with the wider turbulators just behind the leading edge, it looks cutting-edge and modern without being overly in your face. On the first swing with our G400 LST model, it immediately felt lighter and quicker through the air and at impact, we were greeted with a quieter, duller thud sound compared with the louder clang we got from the G driver. Both feel powerful, but the new G400 is a stark improvement in this area.
Looking at our premium ball, while we didn’t see an increase in club speed we did experience a reduction in spin and an increase in carry distance of two yards over the G driver.
