Enough have commented on the release date and embargo.
I wonder what's up with the numbering? 400, 410, 425? But Ping has always been bad at numbering.
Hitting HIGH bombs!Probably didn’t think about the inevitable 420 jokes

I played the G400 driver for about a year and liked the shots but did not care for the loud-tinny impact sound. Also, looking at turbulators I thought was a bit annoying, so I sold the club. When I saw the G410 had turbulators I did not even consider trying or buying one.
My favorite Ping driver was the original Rapture. It had a good looking head shape and a very pleasing muted impact sound.I would like to see Ping go back to producing composite top drivers, because that material brings a muted impact sound instead of loud-tinny.
I think some players (myself included) prefer the sound and weight vs composite?The fact that PING still doesn't use composite blows my mind.

Yep, that was the exact explanation. I just wasn't sure if I should bring that flimsy explanation up .I believe it was either you or @Big SoIL that asked about that very thing to their R&D during our THP Experience with them. The answer was that they struggled with the bonding/glue currently, correct?
I can see the sound argument being valid and I loved the sound of the G400 myself. The weight is what gets me. That weight saving from a composite crown doesn't mean you have to get rid of the weight completely. I would just allow them to move it around the head.I think some players (myself included) prefer the sound and weight vs composite?
I’m not sure what it is. The composite heads just feel different to me. The Mavrik is definitely the first composite head feel very comfortable with in terms of the feel, but I do like the heft of the pings.I can see the sound argument being valid and I loved the sound of the G400 myself.

I'm actually on your side with the weight also, I like the heavier Ping driver heads.I’m not sure what it is. The composite heads just feel different to me. The Mavrik is definitely the first composite head feel very comfortable with in terms of the feel, but I do like the heft of the pings.

I found the G400/Max to feel super light and hollow! I think it felt like a shoe box on a stick.I'm actually on your side with the weight also, I like the heavier Ping driver heads.
My friend just got a G410 and the first thing I noticed on the first tee was it sounded great. I love everything about my GBB Epic but I definitely liked the sound of his G410 a little better.I can see the sound argument being valid and I loved the sound of the G400 myself.

Which g410 head is that? Their own specs on their website claim the head weight of the LST is 208, the Plus is 206 and the SFT is 204. Does the hosel adapter count towards head weight numbers?The weight thing is interesting to me. I grabbed the 3 heads closest to me.
