Forum Thread of the Day: “New Ping G410 Driver?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from hervygolf21, and it surrounds the new G410 driver from Ping that is allegedly set for release at the beginning of 2019. Our members have found out plenty of information on the latest driver from Ping since the thread began, apparently, and here’s a quick look at some of the features you might expect from the new model (if you take forum members’ word for it).
According to the thread, the PING G410 will be black with red accents, will have a higher MOI than the current G400 model, will still contain the Ping Turbulators and will be offered in 12 degrees without draw weighting. It’s also believed that the G400 Max will remain current until July/August 2019, but at a lower price point.
Here are a few posts in the thread reflecting on the news, but make sure to check out the entire thread and join the discussion at the link below.
- lc1342: “Love both the G400 LST and G400 Max, but if they are bringing out something better… I’ll take it!”
- cz13x4: “This sounds like a very interesting update. Not keen on red but very interested to see what comes out.”
- roho: “Late January? Sounds like maybe a PGA Show unveil in Orlando.”
Entire Thread: “New PING G410 Driver”
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Saw them today in a golf shop. Tried to sneak a photo but they wouldn’t let me. Said they just got them and let me handle them. The driver looks awesome.

Knowing it won’t change much, a new or used g400 seems like a good deal.

Have been very happy with my G400 and will not change to another driver for at least 2 more versions. Tried the G400 Max and saw no difference from the G400, except it had a tinny sound. Another problem with the Max is that it not offered in an SFT model. If the G410 follows the same, it also will have no change to get into my bag.
