Ping G400 Driver

Ping G400 Driver would be a suitable choice for those golfers who prefer the center of gravity (CG) to be further towards the back of the clubhead.

Ping G400 comes with two tungsten weights that are placed as further low and back on the clubhead as possible. The weight displacement towards the back of the clubhead allows for two advantages.

First of all, the spin of the ball will be increased noticeably caused by the higher launch trajectory of the golf ball.

Secondly, the positioning of the center of gravity makes the G400 Driver more forgiving and easier to use for less experienced golfers.The higher launch trajectory of Ping G400 Driver means that this golf club would probably be suitable for those golfers whose shots are lower than what they would like.

Another thing that could help you further tweak the ball’s launch trajectory is the loft of the clubhead. Ping G400 comes in two versions: one with 9-degree loft and another with 10.5-degree loft. Both of the versions allow for the 1-degree increase or reduction of the loft, which could allow you to fairly easily adjust the club for your specific playstyle.

G400’s clubhead has an aerodynamic shape designed to reduce drag by 40% mid-downswing and by 15% overall. Combined with the 45-3/4-inch length of the shaft – which is longer than the 45.5-inch shafts of the other two drivers we reviewed – G400 appears to produce high club speed and correspondingly higher ball speed.

A great thing about Ping G400 is the number of shafts available for it. Ping offers a variety a wide selection of shafts with stiffness ranging from regular to extra-stiff, shaft weight from 40 to 80 grams, and launch angle from low to high. Ping also offers two grips of varying sizes. And yeah, Ping also offers G400 for both right- and left-handed golfers. When it comes to the adaptability to the golfer’s needs, Ping G400 looks like a very flexible driver indeed.

G400’s center of gravity can’t be moved forward, unlike the other two reviewed drivers. Sure, you could just remove the tungsten weights from the clubhead, but the weight still won’t be forward. This makes this driver inappropriate for golfers who need slower ball spin speed and also less steep launching trajectory.

Pros:

1. Produces high-speed ball spin.
2. Aerodynamic clubhead design.
3. Both right- and left-hand versions available.
4. A wide variety of shafts.
5. Fairly forgiving.

Cons:

1. The center of gravity can’t be moved forward.
2. Only for men.

TaylorMade M3 440cc Driver

TaylorMade M3 440cc Driver is possibly the most remarkable driver on our reviews. Upon slight examination of the clubhead, one would instantly notice the main features of the M3 Driver.

Let’s firstly talk about the feature that made the most stir among golfers. TaylorMade M3 Driver features the so-called Twist Face clubhead face. Basically, it has been engineered to ensure straight and far shots even in the case of mishits. The high-toe of the driver-face has more loft, while the low-heel has less loft, which, as TaylorMade claims, produces increased consistency in spin even if you make an off-center hit.

Whether or not Twist Face will work for you is an uneasy question. It really depends on what kind of mishits you do. The Twist Face is essentially designed to bring the ball to the center both in case of heel and toe strikes, so it could be useful if you tend to do those shots. But if your problem lies somewhere else, you probably won’t notice much difference with the M3 driver.

Another thing that should be mentioned is getting used to this driver. For a skilled player who is used to making precise heel and toe shots, the new configuration of the clubhead face could be confusing. Wanting to intentionally send the ball far to the right with a heel stroke, the golfer would instead send the ball towards the center. Such changes could require time to get used to, so keep that in mind.

That’s all in theory, however. Given the seemingly insignificant difference between the clubhead of M3 and other drivers, it shouldn’t take much time for you to get used to this driver.

TaylorMade M3 Driver also features a Y-Track holding two 11-gram weights. The weights can be freely moved along the track, which allows a remarkable degree of adjustability. That’s probably the biggest benefit of this driver: virtually anyone could adjust the CG of the clubhead for their needs and their playstyle. Aside from that, the Y-Track also allows you to incline the clubhead towards fading and drawing.

The bad thing about the track system is that it isn’t very easy to adjust since you need to loosen the screw on the weights to move them around, which takes time.

M3 also has the so-called Hammerhead slot on the lower portion of the clubface. This slot is designed to deliver quick and far low-face shots, as well as increased forgiveness across the clubface.Sadly, M3 Driver is only available for right-handed golfers. On the other hand, TaylorMade offers this driver to both men and women. And yeah, M3 also comes in versions with 9- and 10-degree adjustable loft.

Pros:

1. Designed to produce speedy straight shots.
2. Wide customization options.
3. Offers great degree of CG adjustability.
4. Versions both for men and women available

Cons:

1. Could be difficult to get used to.
2. Adjusting the weights isn’t very easy.
3. Only right-hand version available.
