    I bought this driver recently after a price drop, my first brand new club purchase. Feedback from players & reviewers on the G410's forgiveness on off center strikes as well as ball speed & distance numbers helped sell me on it. I hit the Callaway Maverick Max & the G410 at the golf big box store, walked away with the PIng. Playing it for 2 months now, performs as advertised and I love it.

    Great review Rick, with some great photography. The G410 is a class driver from a class company! Just to clarify the reason why PING have not released an LST or MAX version yet is down to their policy that they cannot release a new product unless the engineers can demonstrate that is better than the previous model. At present they cannot improve upon the current LST or MAX models. Now that's Class

    Another Grade A review, Rick! It’s amazing to me how manufacturers keep making drivers that are more aerodynamic, higher launching AND lower spinning! Looks like another winner for PING. But I do agree with you....no need for other G410 driver heads. They could have achieved everything with the head you tested. Great work! You’re the BEST! 👍

    Just bought it this year. Draw weight helps adjust my natural fade and keep my drives straighter than my old Callaway. Very happy with it. Found it on sale for $430CAD, so I’m loving the value as well.

  • @marlinsjh1

    Picked up my G410 this morning after years of playing with a Ping 'Anser'... I've trawled through hours of reviews for the last 18 months because It's the first time I've ever bought a new driver and narrowed it down to the G400 max and the G410. Will have to say that after legging it to the range during work hrs to get 50 balls in to try it out I'm still a bit speechless as to how much it improved my driving.
    Out of 50 balls I must have hit 35 bang centre of the fairway and after checking the face of the club was literally striking the ball from all over the clubface.
    I set it to the draw bias as I have a tendancy to go way right but I almost couldn't hit it off line even with bad shots, it's freekin outstanding!
    I wouldn't say I noticed a big gain in distance as I can drive up to 310yds with my Anser but in 50 balls I would find the fairway probably 15/20 times.
    If your thinking of buying it ... TRY IT!!!
    I'm chuffed to have not spent out and picked one I didn't get on with so well.
    Looks awesome, Sounds like gunfire, goes the distance and finds the fairway and hopefully a truly massive leap for my game.... AWESOME!!!

    I finally got a chance to hit a whole bunch of new drivers just last week on a simulator. I hit the Callaway, Titleist, Taylormade, and they were all great. But then I hit G410 and I now know what driver I want to buy if I can afford it next season. It felt better, sounded better, looked better, and was just so consistent for me. I fell in love instantly. Carrying further than anything else I tried, most consistent flight, just amazing for me...

    Rick, great video, very informative and great points both Pro and Con. I would like to offer some constructive criticism if I may. Your videos are some of my favorite on UA-cam by miles. Good content and frequency of posts, granted, I am a golf nut. However, please don’t get to “Click Baity”. What I mean by that is don’t cheapen your content to encourage clicks. I know you make money off of this, so the temptation to drive ‘views’ is huge and important. Just remember, this kind of content is what made you popular and one of the best reviewers in the golf game, period. I point at just your last Video, the Taylor Made M5 ‘Monster Mode’, that is pure click bait to drive more views to your channel. I just think that the core fans of your channel may not be into that too much and it could drive them away (Pun fully intended). I could be completely wrong, but let’s let the views and likes tell the story, you are on track to have more likes on this video than the M5 one with less views. But I also think that this one will get more views overall just like the review right before the M5 vid. I love the gear reviews, the course vlogs need to come back, and more competitions between you and other players would be great too. Please know this is only meant to be helpful and not mean spirited in anyway. All the best.

    Thank you Rick for an awesome video. I have watched your videos on the new TaylorMade Sim drivers and the new Callaway Maverick drivers. I love your honesty on them. Ping now has $100 off on the g410 driver which I am planning to purchase tomorrow and this video really helps. It looks as though the numbers on this driver are better than the new drivers coming out, so I will be taking the $100 savings and buying other equipment such as golf gloves and balls etc. in addition to this driver. Thanks again!!

    Just got fitted for the PING G410 + and fell in love immediately. Tried M5/M6, Epic Flash/SZ, Cobra F9 and it wasn't even close accuracy wise. The fitter put it in the fade setting and I felt like DJ hitting power 5 yard fades. Definitely ask to try this one out if you're in the market for a new driver. In case anyone is curious the M6 would've been 2nd place but it wasn't close.

Been looking into fairway woods, hybrids, or driving irons. I personally prefer driving irons but I saw you weren’t a big fan of the G400 Crossover irons. Now they have the G410 Crossover irons. I am curious if you will be able to do a review on the improvements from the G400 to the G410. Also, maybe comparing or reviewing the fairway woods and hybrids as well. As stated before, Love your content. Keep up the great work!

    I tested the Ping G410 SFT today in a stock stiff shaft and compared the numbers to my regular stock shaft TaylorMade M4 (both drivers at 10.5 degree loft). The numbers for me were very similar on both drivers. I ended up sticking to my current M4 driver. For those who are slicing the ball and having difficulty keeping their golf ball in play, the Ping G410 SFT is a good driver to help you out. However, another Rick Shiels video that was recently uploaded showed that spending money on golf lessons help more with your golf shots, and I would have to agree with him. So if you want to have a better shot and keep your ball in play, I would highly recommend getting some lessons.

    Very excited about this new driver Rick.
    Currently using the G30 which I love and thick this looks better from above without the dragon fly technology of the last model. Very similar to the G30.
    Shame the adjustment wasn't on a track.

    All the latest driver tests seem to be giving slightly more carry and total. Time to update the performance numbers?

      Would also be interesting for him to put his absolute best averages and which driver they came from, and showing how each driver stacks up to his best averages.

      One of the most important numbers for any of these tests has to be smash factor? If that number is not consistent then surely it’s not giving a true showing of what the driver can do. For me what would be more interesting rather than distance(because we know all these new drivers are very similar in performance) would be to see the numbers on 5 good shots, and 5 bad shots. What is the SF on a toe and heal strike, is there still good performance or a drop off

    Looks a great refined driver from Ping. I think a head to head with the Cobra F9 is called for though but I will be comparing them when I get fitted later in the year
    Great Vid as always Rick.

    Great review as always Rick! I've always liked ping clubs, they may have put the price up by £50 but atleast it will be current for a couple of years
