PING G400 FAIRWAY and HYBRID

[@bigdog33bad]

I just picked up the G400 Stretch version fairway wood, and 2 of the hybrids (22 and 26 degree) and I cannot WAIT to get them out on the course!

[@Cburt123]

My only comment is.... As a daily follower and watcher of every video you produce, Dan is a nice guy and good player but I sincerely hope that you include Lockey at the same rate as before. I love your content, I base my lunch in the states around your daily vlogs but I do hope this isn't a pattern of things to come. Lockey brings a very likeable, funny, human element and different perspective to your videos that I don't think anyone can replace. Keep up the great work sir.

[@andresdionis1444]

Totally agree, Coy.

[@Melted_Butter]

Like the look of the ping g400. Classy look

[@bodemckenna]

Rahm is massive. I walked with him for a while on Tuesdays practice at Portstewart. really nice fella.

[@Cornwall1888]

Colm McKenna yeah bigger than els and vijay

[@nufantbsnofx]

Doing the reviews in a daily vlog make it harder to browse for reviews. The color coordinated videos make it easy. Light blue for reviews.

[@leveller75]

Enjoyed the review but missed the family interaction today . Guess I just like seeing your normal day to day life and its similarity to mine and so playing better golf more achievable ! If that makes sense ? Post your comments down below 🤔

[@MarkCrossfield]

+Stu Whittaker haha 👍

[@vont8332]

Mark Crossfield ... skipped thru it, agree with Stu. Course vlogs with your family would be a hit ...Mum, Dad and Eldest.

[@Clappinkyle]

Well we can't go Locksless can we?

[@georgesutton9655]

I like the flatness of a 3 wood I think it just looks inviting off the deck

[@gary2mcdonald]

Was at Irish open Jon Rahm About 6ft 4inches tall massive chest and arms looks like a very fit rugby player. Back swing short but very fast through ball and long follow through missed fairways but hit brilliant recovery shots out of that tangled rough. Greens were soft and little wind for last weekend he was very good with iorns and missed some 6ft birdy puts.

[@7UpYours1234]

The labeled grip issue may be related to the loft adjustment twist...hate a misaligned logo.

[@samcandlin3265]

It's happened on my G 3 wood. I only noticed it the other day but now it's infuriating me.

[@razzledc69]

The Ryan Little tracks are always appreciated......old school hop hop head.

[@p1miguel999]

like the copper shaft and how it looks black at address. I also like the ping grips better. on course review, absolutely love them.

[@GRB72]

Great review Mark. Honest and impartial as always. I especially like your views on the aesthetics, thus the review being complete and not solely about performance and stats etc.

[@philshaw2808]

Great video brah! Love the look of the G400 clubs

[@mpete1000]

Great vid brea! I think you do the best all around test with equipment keep up the great work

[@carlespalau3312]

Great Blog, and yes. Rham is huge. I saw an interview recently in a spanish golf channel, and the chair where he was sitting looked tiny ! No need for a full backswing braaah

[@santiagodeponce9390]

Always entertaining and informative thanks again Mark!!!!

[@StoodersFam]

quality dispersion numbers brah. I play long irons and or hybrids depending on whether etc. really enjoying these on course tests

[@JT-xs4br]

I'm torn here, because it is such a small mount of distance we are talking about, but I think you should always mark and replace from the back of the ball. Marking from 2 different sides shows intent to me.

[@inigomunagorri3680]

jim thomas He marked his ball on the side cause if he had marked on the back it would have collided with Im's mark

[@andresdionis1444]

That's right, Iñigo. But after Im's shot, he could have replaced the ball on the right of the mark because then his mark was not colliding with Im's mark anumore. I think he just forgot it and replaced it in the wrong side because you usually replace it in the front part of the mark. I don't know if the new rule embraces this, but with the former one this should have been a penalty for sure. Unjust, but a penalty. So, I am happy he was not penalised. I think justice is more important than rules, although without rules justice tends to be... let's say... excessively interpretable.

[@tuckerconklin437]

Rahm is massive I saw him live at the Shell Houston Open this year just a big broad guy

[@dannygomez5187]

I do have trouble hitting my wood off the deck (Titleist 915) my swing is shallow so maybe this wood is worth a try...

[@RyanLowdermilk]

Saw Rahm, in person, at the Dean & Deluca. Confirmed - he's big. In fact, he was paired with Sergio. The size difference was ... noticeable.

[@thomasbarker3588]

He is 6'2" 220 lbs. Ernie Els is bigger

[@rhanleynet]

Great cut at 7:01 there Mark!

[@kevinstrickroth2347]

Bruh...your dry ball data with the hybrid was phenominal.... .1 yd left with a max of 3.6 right is truly impressive. if the yardage is right i could see you gaming this one!

[@kingly71]

Working on some swing changes, Mark? Looks like you're trying to get the clubhead to pass the hands more. Left arm is folding down more, quicker into the follow through.

[@Belmont148]

Great vlog as usual Mark. Can't wait for the g400 irons review. Really hope you address the stopping power that Shiely thinks these will just roll off the back of the green.

[@jameswhelan1567]

Can't see me replacing my g30 3w & hybrid as they're doing their job really really lovely & I can't see anything out there to threaten my g ls tec either.

[@JeremyLevis]

Just to be perverse I bought a G hybrid today, wanted the shafts to match my irons.

[@Cornwall1888]

New crossover looks nice want to see a review on that please

[@BrianDebertGolfAUSTRALIA]

Mark bring back the REALLY LOVELY lol my wife laughs at that in the background when it's on lol

[@darrenk7393]

The stretch 3 has a different shape that you may prefer!

[@user-tz3zb3cy4x]

Hi Mark, I would like you to test the g400 stretch 3 wood cranked down to 12 degrees and hit off a tee as a driver subtitude, my swing speed to to slow at 65 to really get the full benifits of a driver. thanks from tx.

[@mikegannon7682]

i hope the grey poly loo was listing due to camera angle..or was it rather full !!!! best use the club house

[@davidgoddard8866]

Can I come join you in one of these videos? I play off 14 and feels like too many videos focus on low handicap players. Comparing my shots and yours on a round with the same club would help a lot more people. Your shots are typically true hits, my shots would focus on ease of hitting the club i.e would a high/mid handicapper benefit from using them. I feel like you could use a tube of smarties and still hit it straight 200 yards.

[@ShaamoneHeeHee]

Evening bruh! Nice to relax for 10mins after a long day and unwind while watching the latest episode. Rahm is a big chap right enough, glad there wasn't any trees on the course with his scud missilesque driving heh. Not sure how he would fair on a tighter course. As for the ball placement i think folk need to lighten up. I always take the view that folk on the course are inherently honest and are just trying to play a round as best they can. Sometimes mistakes happen, sometimes balls on the green aren't placed 100% accurately but as long as the person isnt deliberately cheating then is it really that big a deal

[@danielc114]

HI Mark, just how many clubs do you have in the room behind you at the end? Looks like a clean out is needed. Happy to help take some off your hands if needed!

[@jeffto23ify]

Think they look nice both of them . love the look of the driver looks really good . G400 thumbs up . loving the daily vlogs

[@loutennant99]

Fair and honest. As always. Looking good and clubs too 😐

[@jonstacey9876]

Change of putter?

[@nickhowes3189]

Prefer your normal vloggs Mark! But still enjoyed

[@matthewsmith8032]

Your t shirt matches the clubs! Nice!

[@2009Stefon]

great video... What do you do with the club's manufacturers send you after testing them?

[@MrJoshthenosh]

Mark where do you get your caps from cant find them

[@shaynewalters4806]

trying 400 next week ,like the trilby hat!!!

[@bjamespenrod2779]

Keep it up Parfield.. good work 👍..

[@x1rmotorsport]

Mark his size comes from training in many disiplines of martial arts from his youth and he continues this although not as intense due to his golfing career

[@andrewgort8067]

Amazing differences in spin between you and Dan. Get fitted Bruh!

[@jedidiahwest4619]

At first I thought Lexi was innocent but the video clearly showed that it was moved on purpose to avoid a depression on the green. On Jon Rahm, we didn't get that close up shot. Was it the same 🤷‍♂️. The rules are rules. That being said, I feel that it's that big of a deal. Take "Lift, Clean and Place" you can put it just about anywhere you like because of the course not being true. 🤔

[@Stu412t]

Can't find any footage of said incident.

[@gabrieletredici3766]

how far do you live from the course where you do your reviews?

[@Red1Actual]

You got Lee's old shoes, brah?

[@charliek8669]

Genuine question here about the prices of clubs, I know you've touched on this many times before but surely it's getting out of hand? Fairways retailing at £250-£300 is madness surely? I know technology improves and the R & D costs are factored into this but the costs to actually produce them doesn't change much... At what point does it stop? Will we have to pay £500, £750, £1000 for a fairway in years to come..?!

[@MrOwens123]

Maybe something to do with the amount the manufacturers have to pay out in sponsorship to their respective tour players?!?!

[@charliek8669]

andy o Completely respect and understand that, but the tour pros are paid to use the clubs, what happens if manufacturers end up pricing their own customers out? Just throwing it out there as a thought, when does it get too much? Irrespective of professional contract demands... I really like the look of the G400 fairways, I just think manufacturers should also look at the price points... we the consumer are probably part to blame, they set the price and we just pay it so they get away with it, and the next series of club goes up in price again...

[@andybgolf9260]

Hi Mark love the daily vlogs really look forward to watching them each day. Just quick question what happens to all the clubs you test are they sent back to the manufactures ? Great work bruh

[@ianshepherd6476]

dustin johnson for the open...great vid

[@tombuckley8306]

Really like the look of the G400 range although I'm very much a window shopper and enjoy the clubs I use... As for jon rahm, I agree Mark, he looks a monster compared to Rory

[@M111OVD]

He wasn't trying to cheat and the rule is completely sensible. pity for Lexi it's not retrospective.

[@patrikstreng6834]

M111OVD yea, he would still have holed it

[@videom]

trying to rule what someone's intent is when on the course is INFINITELY worse than the old "objective" standard. To bad we live in a time when rules don't matter anymore.

[@videom]

one more thing...how about not touching the ball until you hole it! why are these "pros" lining up 3 foot putts? Because there is an advantage to doing it but there should be risks too. It's golf after all!

[@Zocco_]

He's 6'2" , 220lbs according to the PGA tour profile. Not a small guy

[@adamoverton6816]

Great content as standard brah! Keep doing what ya doing! I'm an inch and 15lbs off the big guy, it's nice as it's tough to always try to swing like Rors, Scott, and Day #noabshere

[@charlesharrison6291]

It was a great victory by Rahm yesterday. He is a very powerful young man. I was very disappointed that one two occasions neither him or his caddie called fore as it was travelling towards spectators. Professionals and there caddies have a responsibility to call fore as their ball goes towards spectators , he was lucky that no one was seriously injured.

[@gary2mcdonald]

I stood beside him on seventeenth tee box both Saturday and Sunday he did shout Fore

[@gary2mcdonald]

If it was not him somebody shouted fore left on Sunday

[@JCGolf-ki4ly]

I see you've got an orange FJ cap on? Not sure if it's relevant

[@metamurph]

6' 2" and 16Stone...he is a BIG boy and the short backswing, I am working with the same guy on KVEST trying to achieve basically that same position. Penalty - given the updated rules, no. Did he get it in the same position, no. Did he purposely improve his lie/position, I don't believe so, his fellow competitor didn't believe so, nor did the head of euro rule -- so its all copacetic. Dig the G400 driver, the FWay/Hybrid less so just looks wise. I still like my Adams tightlies. The Driver gets the most bang for the new tech piece here to me and it is still just margins but Ping also doesn't tend to "over hype" either so I look forward to giving the driver a run.

[@mchaggis1994]

Mark, that shirt. Its that footjoy?

[@jkgjr8219]

Is that a coffee or espresso machine? Looks delicious whatever it is

[@davidstocking1622]

#pingtastic. I thought common sense prevailed with the John Rahm incident, spot on all round as he had to put his marker to the side because of where Ims marker was... didn't exactly gain anything did he?

[@hawkey100]

New putter ???

[@bdeheton6445]

The question is, did the VERY slightly different ball placement provide Rahm with ANY advantage on such a short putt? I can't see how it possibly could. If officials hadn't previously made such a horrifically bad decision by penalising Lexi 4 strokes to cost her the win - no one would be up in arms about this.

[@RonanRaff]

Radar said that he and Im were like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito. He is a big guy. I stood beside him at the 15th and thought I was standing in a hole!

[@dibbs06]

how can anyone prove intent? R&A with USGA seem to be reacting to incidents and changing rules that have stood and done the job for years just because of the media spin on incidents. Enjoying the blogs

[@jamesmorgan9033]

How do you become a member of the lockie army?.

[@jamesbrown6372]

Those clubs look pretty and will perform to the players ability. Would I buy them on looks alone...maybe! I'm not sitting on my fat arse thinking I'll win a major anytime soon, so I might as well enjoy my golf and look the part 👍🏻 great daily bruh

[@spocktra50]

Wouldn't it be fun if they lifted all restrictions on clubs and balls just to see the difference.

[@station2station544]

Mark's EPIC fairway is a 13.5°, the G400 is 14.5°.

[@cokecansith2886]

I def prefer the look of the G and G30 clubs to these, maybe you should do a twitter poll..................awkward

[@danieljohnson450]

Hahaha you're right about John Rahm Mark, I saw a picture of him next to Rory and he made him look like a dwarf!!!

[@PedroRadioNDC]

Agree with the shape of the head, looks too flat. Far away from the old shape of the titleist 906f2. And for me it's not easier !

[@seantmcc]

Just a general comment, idea, not particularly related to this vlog, but you always stress functional over perfection, at what point does functional become an hindrance to improvement? I have a buddy who hits the ball well and at times plays well, but always has the ball back in his stance with his hands past the ball at address, forward press. Nothing wrong with it and it works for him, but I keep thinking that it is wrong. At some point there are fundamental positions, grip, address, stance that require one to adhere to achieve consistency and maximize one's ability. How do you address the juxtaposition of functional versus improvement? When is the quirks of one's swing a hindrance? To a degree, it is like learning to play a slice or hook. Yes, it is possible and possible to become quite good adapting to it, but seems limiting too. As always, love the vlog. Cheers brah.

[@leftienigeblank4320]

I used to play with an ex county-level cricket player , in his 70's . His "hands miles ahead of club-head " style worked for him , but his driver was an old , tiny , metal 5-wood . He'd hit this 200 yards on a good roll-out day , the ball never going more than 20 feet high . If anybody had tried to teach him a more orthodox method he would have given up playing the game he loved .

[@simonshaw2797]

Good video, good change in daily vid.

[@Mr621brown]

why do u keep showing Dan's data? did u lose a bet??

[@Cornwall1888]

See Rahm in the flesh can confirm he's huge, bigger than vijay. Biggest golfer I've seen (not tallest)

[@seanmullins5982]

Cornwall1888 JESUS!!! He's bigger than Vijay?!? Wow... now that's a big boy

[@MD18undapar]

Batman must have joined the staff 😂

[@nicks3226]

I just don't get this style of head cover. Zero shaft protection.

[@ianhousham956]

It is a pity Rahm could not shout fore on the last day. Spectator being hit. I also did not see any apology

[@davidpearson243]

still love my G15 Hybid ugly but fantastic!!

[@yadthink]

Ugly, is right! I tried the G15 & G20 hybrids, but they didn't work for me and I couldn't get out of my head a comment from the time that those clubs look like a swollen big toe, lol.

[@zacharymilos392]

Non adjustable hybrid?? Guess Titleist gets my money again...

[@trippjay1117]

What kind of coffee maker is that??

[@timjohnson4017]

i think Rahm had it right !!!!

[@leftienigeblank4320]

When I first learnt this game , it was always " You must put your marker BEHIND your ball , then move it to the side if asked to ". How do these so-called "pro's" get this far without knowing the basics ??

[@oscarbystrom9858]

nice ping g400

[@Agent480]

Those squeaky shoes would drive me insane.

[@sodthong]

New Ping prices up 33%. Another nail in the coffin for golf and retail shops. Of course, most reviewers don't have the balls to talk about it...

[@ashleyhouseman9043]

It's all just boring,new,old,no difference, no further totally nonsense tech but hey the shaft changes colour. Great stuff mark!!

[@pschmitt712]

From what I've seen, I don't believe Rahm should've been penalized. But I don't think Lexi should have either. Personal opinion, but a couple of millimeters incidentally here and there won't make a MASSIVE difference. When they place the ball down, they've still gotta roll it....

[@ronthibeau6888]

Not penalized

Mark Crossfield Fair enough. Really enjoying your content, especially the Daily Vlogs, keep up the good work bruh 😁

[@richardbrooks3316]

can you let the kids out of the cupboard now, please??

[@JohnDavis-ol7qg]

the ruling was correct. Rahm marked side of ball, moved marker, placed marker back, and placed ball on side marker and rules official verified that with him. he should have no respected it, but can't do a no respect in a Tournement....

[@MrAshtute]

personally i think ur coffee maker is quite noisy but then i think most things are noisy. john rahm is a pretty big guy but if he changed his driver he could probably get another 7 yards...couldn't he? i mean thats what they keep telling us isnt it 👍

[@bpieszak]

love ping, love most of their releases. these look so ugly to me that I could never game them lol . just imho

[@videom]

on the state of the game in general...trying to rule what someone's intent is when on the course is INFINITELY worse than the old "objective" standard. To bad we live in a time when rules don't matter anymore. comments?

[@daveyboy8802]

If it was Tiger in the rules situation then I think it would be 100 times more of a story with the media and haters calling for his head. Remember the Tiger Masters drop incident? Such a joke the way this sport treats its players differently!!!
