Err.... g410
Just a simple typo, it happens.
I went with the Ping Tour Reg shaft and hate it. Hook city. Already ordered the Alta Stiff. I'll fix this bad boy.
I've been testing the G410 hybrids at the range since they came out.
Given I am a short knocker (usually hit my 4h about 175-180 and 5h about 165-170) I always grab the stock R flex. For me both the Alta R and the Tensei CK Blue Pro R were a bit inconsistent for me.
Yesterday I tried them with the Tensei Blue stiff and it felt heavy through the ball and my results were poor. I tried the Alta stiff and whoa... what a difference. Nice high flight and most of all I felt like my results were repeatable. Baby draw with mostly every setting...and adding loft just seemed to add height without the hook spin. In the flat lie setting I hit a gentle push but preferred the baby draw of the normal lie settings.
I liked what I saw so much that I am doing the uTry it program with the 4h/Alta stiff on GlobalGolf to try it on the course first before committing $249.
Anyone else spend some time with these yet?
Still crazy to me that the 4h has got me back into the hybrid in that spot train as opposed to the U’s I was confident would be there through the season.
I got my 4h in with stiff Alta on globalgolf’s UTry it program.
I hit plenty of side by side shots on the course and it simply felt heavy and clunky through the ball compared to my Exotics Xrail that’s been in the bag forever.
Out of about 10 shots I’d say that one was very good. The rest usually low and left.
I fooled around with the settings and still managed to draw the ball even in the flat settings.
Maybe things will change during the next round but if not it will be going back.
Crazy thing is I hit the same setup on Tues and it was money. Crazy how the swing can change from day to day
Definitely sounds like a rough first go. Those swing days definitely happen in this crazy game.
I hammered the heck out of these on Friday while working on the NV shaft review. The fact that I’m seeing the ball speeds I am in a 22 hybrid is pretty obscene. I am 100% certain the NV knocks the spin and launch down too much for my tastes and the Alta CB is the better fit. But, that means the NV is also doing exactly what it’s supposed to which is the cool thing about reviewing clubs, it’s fun to see the claims come to fruition.
As for the 410’s, set to flat, I can still draw them but it’s not remotely close to being hooky and that gives me the confidence to really go after it.
Honestly, these might be the best part of the whole 410 lineup, and one of the best all around hybrids out there imo.
That NV sounds like the perfect shaft for me. I took the 4H out today with the Evenflow Black and it still seemed a little high and spinny into the wind. I may have to give one of these a go. What is the retail on those shafts?

Crazy insanely high....
$29.99.
Hitting a 3h and may add the 4h.
Adding this to the thread:
The 410 hybrid is proving to be exactly what I was hoping. Playing the 19 degree on the +1 and flat hosel setting.
Two stand out shots from this past weekends round:
9th hole par 5: 220 straight up hill to the green. Hit it from the right rough to the front edge of the green. Didn’t think I could get that close and it was a beauty.
13th par 5: second shot from 225, down wind a little. Hit a high cut over a large tree between me and the green. Landed on the front edge and I had an easy 20 footer for eagle. Missed it, but tap in birds are always nice.
Big, big fan of the club.
The stock stiff shaft has been really nice for me too. I also have the Tensei Blue in TX flex but the stock shaft is great. I have no real plans to switch.
This club opens new doors for me in that sorta 230 type range.
PS: gamed the crossover too, and it is def no slouch! Really enjoyed that one too.
