Just found your channel and many thanks for some useful info on the G400 MAX and also the TPT Shaft. I`m just off to sell a Kidney! Seriously, I`m looking to swop my G30 SFT (as a senior I tend to leave the face open and get the odd weak slice) for either the MAX or the G400 SFT. Do you have any thoughts on which would be better for an "OLD UN" Ps where abouts in the North West are you from?
I’m crazy for saying this but I just sold my ST-180 and I’m leaning towards this or the TM M3 Also looking at the Rogue and GT-180 I love the feel of the ST-180 but the spin was a little too low for my liking. Great rundown btw
Cornwall1888 Yeahhhhh I’ve had the driver since late Nov, it was released early at Carl’s Golfland by me and after initially testing it out on the TrackMan Range I HAD to go get fitted for it, the feel is incredible, so after the fitting I was fitted into a Tensei Blue 60 Stiff, 1/2” cut from the top, in early January I was at an indoor sim playing pebble beach(lol) and the shaft snapped in half on a long par 4 that I was attacking, it literally devastated me, luckily a buddy of mine in Ohio gave me a great deal on a new Kuro Kage Proto 60 TS and he immediately sent it out to me, went to the range and went through a few buckets, noticed that the spin was a little lower with the new shaft but nothing too alarming, about a week later I went to my golf lesson at a nearby club, my instructor noticed that my launch angle and spin was a little too low so we adjusted the loft up 1 degree to 10, launch was a little higher but spin was still under 1900 rpm, in turn my toe and heel shots were ALL OVER the place and the higher we put the loft, the launch angle was way too high so putting it in summary, I need a little more forgiveness in my driver and my instructor and I both believe that this ST-180 is an excellent driver but primarily for higher swing speeds, with my slower tempo and steeper attack angle I wasn’t getting the most out of the driver, I truly believe I’ll be better off with a G400 max or a rogue, prior to the Mizuno I was gaming an Epic and that suited my swing a little better. So yeah I should have tested out a few more before buying it lol live and learn I guess...
Mike Cerniglia I’ll be testing m4 and g400 max in the next few weeks, like the idea of ping tour shaft because they are shorter which can lead time better strikes less spin and more distance Cutting your shaft may have made it stiffer, changed swing weight and lead to even less spin than you were originally fitted for

The small hosel insignia, plus & minus, flatten the lie angle, which is nice. The larger +/- do not have this flattening effect. FYI. Thanks!
I've got the G400 Lst best driver I have ever had full stop. Sound and feel is much better than the Ping G which was a bit tinny for me.
Best driver I have ever used

Bandit Baker you can’t fail with the G400 Max, its the best all rounder on the market, the high moi is worth its weight in gold.
Bandit Baker I’m from Mcr 👍
I couldn't decide if it was a Salford or Mcr accent, but glad your from the centre of the universe LOL
Cheers I can`t wait to give it a smack!
When you got fitted for the TPT golf shaft, did you use the Ping G400 Max driver?
C. Richard no, I used the standard G400 👍
How do you find it against normal G400, which one is longer for you? Can you do head to head with the TPT shaft?
NovaScene I’ll try to do a head to head with G400 Max vs G400 with TPT Shaft at some point, that’ll be a cool video to make 👍
Did you test it with the TPT Shaft?
Is the TPT shaft worth the pricetag?
NovaScene yes it’s a great shaft, I’ll talk about it in more detail next week.

Mike Cerniglia how long did you have it?
Should’ve tested all of them first, saves money in the long run

Cornwall1888 try the g400 sft. I got the max and actually wish I would have bought the SF-TEC.
