This one is up on the USGA conforming list now. Rumors have been out that a release later this week is happening.

This looks awesome, but I think if the companies keep doing releases and then 2nd releases with new bells and whistles they are going to train us to wait to purchase things. I don't think that is a profitable habit to teach your customers. IMO the more FOMO my customer has the better my bottom line.
This is the question that I think a lot of people are asking.
Im usually pretty much on the fence about secondary releases.
With this one one of the interesting parts is that they have released the three together in the past.
i thought they were having some trouble with this one. either conformity, qc, or something else?
personally, i don't mind a staggered release when the messages are differentiable. i don't think anyone who knows what the lst is meant to do, would be frustrated that they already bought one of the others. the lst is its own animal in my mind. also helps that they have history with the lst, so those who wanted an upgraded lst probably have been waiting, rather than buying the 410 plus and now faced with the prospect of buying another very expensive driver.
That is a good point. It would different from you from the Max for instance, where the message is less clear.

You would know much more about this than I would, but how much could they have possibly put into development of this club for them to say in January at the PGA Show that it's not ready, and then it's just over 3 months later and it's ready to hit the Tour (and retail soon)? I would imagine they already had prototypes ready to go for a while for testing over the winter. I'm just curious what could have happened under the hood to cause the delay in release.
I don't mind a secondary release like this one. It's been on the horizon for some time. We knew it was coming. So, one could wait should they want to purchase. It's the releases that come out of left field that get me.This is the question that I think a lot of people are asking.

Straddling a line here, but my answer would be that it was ready, just not ready if that makes sense. Design was done. Club heads were not. By saying it was not ready, really is an honest answer, but more by omission. If that makes sense. All my opinion here of course.
It is interesting, PING can get away with saying "well, we didn't bring it out until we knew it was better than the last one" because they have some background of doing that. But other companies would get hammered for staggering releases.
This one doesn't annoy me quite as much because we knew Ping offered a Max version in the past and probably assumed it was coming.
It annoyed me much more last year when I bought my G400 and then down the road the Max model came out without any warning.
It's going to be tough for me to buy anything new from any brands in the future right at release because of the FOMO.
I like that they got rid of the red on the driver. Wasn’t a fan of it.
Its a black and white photo from the USGA. I would not expect the red to be absent.
Slightly less red than the 410+

if that's what comes to market, it looks 1,000% better than the other 410 models
It looks like Titleist colors though. Not bad, but I would have gone a different route.
