It is a completely new hosel so you won't be able to swap in your previous Ping driver shaft unless you change the attachment. The aforementioned adjustable hosel is also new and offers a extra 0.5° range of movement across eight positions through +/- 1.5°. The crown features Turbulators that are bigger and therefore more aerodynamically efficient than before.
The longer whiter lines are actual grooves and when the club is at address, these stand out more to help alignment. The face is forged from stronger Ti 9S+ titanium and then welded on.

The rest of the G410 Plus design is familiar to Ping driver fans, with the lighter structure of the Ti 811 titanium Dragonfly crown hidden away on the inside to save a little weight. This weight position is 50% more towards the heel than the previous G400 SFT driver, and combined with the lighter D1 swing weight than the standard driver, should reduce the effect of any fade. If you need more permanent draw bias then there is an G410 SFT version of the driver that has a 16g weight fixed in the heel position. It has a slightly lighter colour too, which you only really notice when you put it next to a darker head, as otherwise it still looks pretty black. This is done without affecting the MOI of the club, which is 1% higher than the previous G400 driver, although it is also 10cc bigger, so that probably helps too. Moving the weight from the centre to the fade or draw positions moves the CG a whopping 2.5mm (1/10th of an inch) in order to create 10 yards of correction. When it's in the heel or toe positions, the weight does not seem to be as embedded in the track as it is when it is in the back, but that is just a cosmetic thing.

Whilst the manual nature of the movement might seem low tech, it reduces the amount of infrastructure required and ensures that the weighting of the rear of the head maintains the CG properties that Ping's drivers are renowned for. A 16 gram tungsten weight can be unscrewed and moved from the central to heel or toe positions around a track in the back of the head. Even then, John Solheim said they could only do it if they did not affect the performance of the club.įast forward to 2019 and the approach is still the same, as they add adjustable weights to the Ping G410 Plus driver for the first time, hence the Plus in the name.Īs you might expect from a company focused on forgiveness and engineering, the system is clean a straightforward. With adjustable hosels, it wasn't until 2012 that they were first introduced into the Ping Anser driver. Whilst they lead the way in a lot of areas, Ping is also not a company to rush into things without ensuring that they deliver a benefit.
