Ping G410 Hybrid

The G410 hybrid pulls together an array of performance characteristics that is uncommon, maybe unprecedented — combining tremendous forgiveness with great distance and a strong ball flight. Thanks to a bigger head and a tungsten back weight, the MOI of the G410 is 6.5% higher than the G400, which translated to shot after shot carrying nearly the exact same distance. 17-4 stainless steel head is 6.5% bigger than the G400 hybrid, with high-density tungsten weight placed deep in the sole to expand perimeter weighting and optimize MOI. Above-average forgiveness — 6.5% larger profile + 6.5% higher MOI + tungsten back weight produce shot-to-shot consistency.

Independent testing: 134.3mph average ball speed and 13.3° launch on the 19° 3-hybrid. Maraging C300 steel face attached to 17-4 stainless steel head increases ball speed — first Ping hybrid with C300 face. Great distance and a strong ball flight. Launches a bit higher, but because ball speed is also increased, distance isn't compromised. Above-average distance — 134.3mph 19° ball speed + C300 maraging face + higher launch without distance loss.

Larger profile head by 6.5% than predecessor. Tungsten back weight + deep CG = high-launch GI profile. Emphasis on tremendous forgiveness and shot-to-shot consistency — no shape-shifting language. Below-average workability — GI larger footprint + deep-sole tungsten CG produce a straight, consistent flight with limited shape control.

At impact, the G410 is better than expected with a legitimate feel/sound of power emanated through impact. Feedback is good through the hands — you'll mainly notice your misses through feel. Internal ribs stiffen the body and ensure a desirable sound and feel experience. Above-average feel — legitimate impact-power sensation with clear mis-hit feedback through the hands.

Modest in terms of sound. If you really miss one, the sound changes a bit. Legitimate feel/sound of power emanated through impact. Internal ribs engineered to ensure a desirable sound. Sounded a little better than the G400 predecessor. Average to above-average sound — modest, engineered acoustic with strike-quality feedback; not class-leading.

The matte black crown has no alignment aids except the Turbulators. The combination of the painted grooves and Turbulators frames the ball perfectly, giving confidence in set up. Larger head size gives you a bit more confidence vs G400. One of the best looking and performing hybrids available. Above-average address — matte black crown + Turbulators alignment cues + 6.5% larger footprint inspire confidence.
