Ping, while not often the brand you first think about when looking for a fairway club wood, has had great results with its last releases. Ping isn’t known for large changes but has updated the G410 fairway wooden to improve its speed and forgiving design. This will allow golfers to get better results even when contact doesn’t occur.

Quick Take Ping created the G410 wood fairway, which combines excellent ball speeds with an easy to launch design. The G410 fairway is also available in two versions: an LST and an SFT.

PING G410 Fairway Wood Ping uses a maraging steel face c300 to improve golfers’ ball speed. To improve ball speed and launch conditions, Ping has lowered the center of gravity. There is also a high quality tungsten weight at the back of the club. This weight will aid in stability when hitting off-center.

Ping didn’t get on board with the adjustable hosel trend until 2012, when they launched the Anser Driver. They have made the hosel transition to the head look seamless from that moment onwards. Ping’s adapter was simpler than some others, but it did have a few limitations in terms of the loft settings. With some tweaks to the adapter, there are now eight different settings, allowing golfers to go up and down in loft by 1.5deg. It is possible to play the club on a flatter course while maintaining 1deg of loft.

Ping had a great history with metal woods and there was a lot of excitement about getting the G410 fairway wood on the course. After I had done a range session, the flat settings in the adjustable hosel made the club seem more natural. The 5-wood, while not the most popular club, is not one I would use a lot off the tee. But the range it created made this club more playable. It was actually an eye-opener to make me wonder what the 3-wood could do in this position. Tee shots led to a ball that flew high off the ground and fell left to right.

We all know there are shots on the course that can be uncomfortable, and for many amateur golfers, a shot of over 200 yards fits that bill. The G410’s approach shot from the tee was great, but it really shined when played this way. Fairway woods in their own right can be challenging to hit when it comes to getting the ball high up in the air. That thought was what made these shots so enjoyable. The ball flight was much higher than I’d expect.

It was not likely that you believed we would make it past the review without including the turbulators, did you? Although they do exist on this fairway wooden, I find them to be a good frame for the ball. G410 is a club that can reduce stress and anxiety by placing the clubhead behind the ball.

G410 fairway trees have been given a cosmetic makeover. The G400 had a flatter face, which gives it an artistically pleasing look.

The CG moved forward. It is now nearer to the sole and face. This improves ball flight and distance.

There’s all the forgiveness offered in previous versions and more from the G410 with a high density tungsten back weight included.

C300 maraging Steel is used for the face. This allows for greater ball speeds and shot heights.

The fairway woods are available in three- and five-wood (both 14.5 degrees), seven-wood (17.5 degrees), and nine-wood (23.5 degrees) versions.

Ping G410 LST Woods Review The Ping LST woods replaces the G400 Stretch and is a low-spinning option with the name standing for Low Spin Technology.

The LST woods, like the LST driver have a smaller head. The CG have also be placed lower and even further forward to promoting a higher ball flight and low spin.

Straight Flight Technology is what gives the Ping G410 SFT Woods its name.

In the SFT woods there is a heel-sideweight that aids in straight flight. The weight rests at the top of the head. This provides draw bias and corrects any slice, fade or omission.

As with the other models the face is made out of C300 Maraging Steel and it is very thin in order to achieve increased ball speeds and shot height.

Club heads in the G410 range are the biggest, increasing the MOI. The SFT models’ lofts are 1.5 degrees more than those of standard. This is to facilitate easier launch and straighter balls.

The 3-wood is sold at 16 degrees, the 5-wood is 19 degrees and the 7-wood is set at 22 degrees. There is 1.5 degree of adjustability in all three.
