Fitting the new Ping G410 Plus to see what its full potential is when dialed into optimal hosel and adjustable weight settings as well as customized shafts.
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

I own a Ping g410 SFT, and it does what they said it would. I am in the fairway a whole lot more than I used to be. A bad swing is a bad swing no matter what you use. But, this club can help. Get a lesson or 2, and buy this club. You will be happy, and feel confident about your swing, when you step into the tee box. I put on a slightly heavier shaft, made a tweak on the adjustable hosel, and now I am good to go. Ping really got this driver right!!
