Ping golf face a HUGE challenge - G410 IRONS REVIEW

[@RickShielsPGA]

Q.) What irons are you playing right now?

[@wolle1314]

Ping i500

[@numeracyninjas2307]

Taylormade burner 2.0

[@cadmodel6424]

Wilson Staff FG Tour V6. Simply put, the best set of irons ive ever played. IMHO, They are a great example of what modern high quality irons should be. Just superb..

[@Bigladle]

Mp-18 sc!

[@JigZor]

MIzuno JPX 900 Tour 3-PW

[@bryanwmilburn]

I just have to say that you have by far the best club reviews on KZbin. Quality film work, commentary, and overall enjoyable videos. Great work!

[@JB-Go]

Got custom fitted for new irons last week. The G410 performed the best for me while being compared to mavrik, cobra sz, tm sim, titleist t300 irons.

[@PK075]

Just ordered a new set of G410 irons 4-P and a G410 driver with 9degrees, all fitted. A new PING 210 hoofer stand bag red and black. All matching colours . I had a set out Titleist T300 irons and a PING G400 max driver in a TaylorMade golf bag stolen from my car boot 2 days ago. Insurance won’t cover it because it wasn’t in my home. ARSEHOLES. I tried the T400 Titleist but they were too forging sales person said. I’ve watched this video ages ago and I just watched it again and your positive comments made me happy to go for the full set of G410. Just over $2000 Australian dollars. Bag irons driver not bad. Love your work RICK. Golf here in Melbourne Australia is going nuts, it’s packed everywhere you go.

[@byronthwaits773]

I have these been playing 10 weeks and went all out for a decent set and love them feel brilliant and paid £800 👍🏼

[@jamestobin4849]

Just picked up a set for 675 usd they feel absolutely amazing. Crazy feedback coming from Wilson staffs

[@robpottergolf]

Best iron review I’ve seen you do buddy. Absolutely love the level of detail you went through in this, and how thorough you was - especially the acoustic comparison. 👍

[@RickShielsPGA]

Thanks Rob 👍

[@TractionPhoto]

I think we should try and get ping to fit you in a set of these and get them reviewed. Fitting an “average golfer” and then seeing how you play on the course would make a really interesting episode. RICK, PLEASE GET ROB A SET OF THESE. I think seeing him play them might take some of his picky sound/feel opinions away :D

[@carlsjoelin4826]

got these recently, love the feel and sound very satisfying

[@matthiasbuhlis617]

My buddy is in the process of picking up G410. As an old club fitter, but not in the industry of late, I really appreciate your honest review to help him out. Great job Rick

[@antman5826]

Acoustics, and the visual impact a club brings are all personal preference. I love that dull nothing sound when I hit my MBs and yet I have mates who absolutely love that crack they get when hitting their irons.

[@michaelkidd6550]

I greatly enjoy the Rick Siels Golf reviews. I switched from an Adams forged club to the Ping G400. I went with whatever new club technology worked for me in the simulator. Every 3-4 months, I would hit 4 or 5 clubs along with my Adams 7 iron. I kept coming back to Ping G series. They are so easy to hit but I would recommend the 410 woods and driver over the 400 series. I find they pack a little more distance.

[@bobstone6764]

I have long wanted red and black for my ping Irons. I've had them (in different iterations) for since I started playing golf. Loved, just loved the looks. I have the Ping G400. Got them after one of Rick's reviews. I agree with him. I tried the G410. Just couldn't get past the sound and feel. Love my G400's. Will take something to get me out of em. Great Job Rick...Thanks....14 handicap after 4 years, and still listening to you.

[@danielcohen3159]

Great video, Rick! What you talk about around 8:07 - the chip with the hot face and lower lofts - is definitely true. I play Callaway Apex 19s and I had to go to 9-iron for these shots because with 7 and 8 the ball comes out so hot off the center. I even try to strike them a bit towards the toe to have control over distance and trajectory. A long bump-and-run - say 30 or 40 yards - is even trickier. But you play with them a while and adjust pretty quickly.

[@georgehuber6746]

I was hesitant to try these irons because of the comments here and elsewhere about the sound. As it turned out, I actually liked the sound and feel compared with that of my G15 irons. I went ahead and got fitted before purchasing and have had the clubs about a week now. As a high handicapper I need to work on my consistency but when I make a good swing with these irons I am blown away by the height and distance I am seeing. I really enjoy hitting these irons and feel that my game is going to go to another level with them.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Great review and looks like we have very similar opinions on these irons, the sound/feel is a backward step from the G400's

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Lee Castelluccio yes too true Lee it’s what suits you that matters, really good irons and I’m sure they will go well for you, good luck 👍

[@stevewoolf3502]

Rick, I have just been fitted for these, they were by far the best of the current irons for me, I increased my club head speed and yardage with these, so easy to hit on the fitting I put all the balls within 7 foot of the centre on all strikes can’t wait to get them and play with these.

[@johnsym7689]

Hi Rick. I used to play with Ping G max. Irons which were great and easy to hit. I bought a set of the 410 irons and they are great. Handicap has been cut already.

[@charlieschofield2210]

I have used a set of Ping Eye 2 and recently bought the Ping G410 and they are a lovely club to have in my bag. Nice review.

[@noahb2804]

i've been using my grandpa's Ping Eye 2's and I've been looking into getting the G410 since I found a full set on Facebook marketplace in good condition for $350. 4 years later, do you still use these clubs and how did you like them?

[@ramsin6938]

Great review Rick as usual. Agree with most things outlined, such as sound and feel, do need getting used to. However, upgrading from Ping G30 irons and being fitted with new PING G410 irons with Nippon Modus 105 Stiff shafts and WOW !!!! These clubs are an excellent fit for me, playing off 15....

[@josephdubiel7129]

There is nothing like a Rick Sheil's or Average Golfer review. You two make golf a better place and tons of fun. Thanks for all your efforts. :) This is another great review.

[@EthanSegal]

Thanks Rick! Watched this video before purchasing and to this day I swear by these irons!

[@maltehellsing5644]

Had these since the release, can really vouch for the ping G-series (g400, g410 and g425)!!

[@suggestedtigerr1151]

Jesus loves you. John 14:6 6 Jesus said To them, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. God bless u

[@paulmitchell1884]

Went for an iron fitting and the G400 was better all the way round. M3 second then G410. Keep all the insight coming. Great to have some honest accurate feedback!

[@fredjapel3609]

Rick, I'm a 27 hdcp., age 75, and play Wilson LaunchPads. Great club for a high handicap golfer.

[@steelesolid5026]

These remind me of my old ping eye 2s and I absolutely love them. So forgiving

[@KevinDelaneyPGA]

Another solid review I must say I really liked the g400 last year but when I reviewed the g410 last week I thought it was really nice quick off of the face like a lot of the new clubs that are coming out. I did like the sound of the 410 as well but as you say personal preference.

[@harrisonschaalma6078]

I just got g400 because they were on sale and you should do g400 irons vs g410 irons and than g400 driver vs g410 driver

[@harrisonschaalma6078]

Awesome video rick love it

[@LakesLessTraveled]

Just bought a set of these second hand, and I'm already in love with them after the second round!

[@joshuawilliams7824]

I gave them and my own personal review is they are amazing! I like the sound. the sound's great feed back for your ears you really know when you struck just right.

[@travisnunez1693]

This was just what I needed to see! G400s it is! Just purchased the G400 Driver and I’m in love! Can’t wait to get the irons to bring the set together!

[@jasonrosero418]

Just ordered a set G410’s green +2 upright lie angle. Now gotta wait 3 weeks for delivery. I’m in Houston Tx.

[@davegibbons7612]

Really enjoy my Ping 410 irons an woods! But, I do agree the clicking noise of the irons does make them feel hard. But they do perform! Great reviews! Keep them coming!

[@gtsgolf9410]

good point about the 7 iron bump and run. Used to be my go to chip shot but just cannot judge it with the G410, other than that I love it. Perhaps I will give the 8 iron ago for bump and run (been using PW)

[@FlyingSwitz]

I love the club number on the face! Never seen that before

[@ethvnjax]

I got fitted and rested on ping g410 irons. I also got the 4 hybrid for g410. Haven’t arrived yet but can’t wait to put them in the bag!👀

[@byronthwaits773]

Also got the lob and gap wedge ..... brilliant irons 👍🏼👍🏼

[@johnmonteagudo8164]

I just want to thank you for shopwing us the back spin of these clubs. That is something that is very important to me and it's i,possible to test in most fitting environments.

[@bpdiaz]

Rick...quick question...did they improve the wearability of the finish? I’m currently playing the g700’s have had them less than a year and they look like there’re 20 years old.

[@bikertim29]

I went for a fitting and tried a few different irons, these for me were the ones I enjoyed hitting the most, and gained distance over my current Wilson clubs. My return to golf after not playing for 7 years requires this type of club, looking forward to getting out on the course and hitting them

[@aarondokka24]

I just got custom fitted for these irons today. They feel amazing! I can’t wait to take them out on the course.

[@michaelplantarich3375]

Just bought these on closeout in 2022, can't wait for them to arrive and give them a try! Currently using the Taylormade RAS OS from eons ago (haven't bought clubs since high school 👀)

[@suggestedtigerr1151]

Jesus loves you. John 14:6 6 Jesus said To them, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. God bless you

[@joeperez3520]

Another excellent review. Seems PING is on to something with their design work. When you reviewed the G700, you also got low spin numbers indoors, which was alarming, but when you took them out onto the course, they certainly had stopping power on the green, and you almost backed up one approach off the front. An important point you make is the "hot" face on short game shots. I thought it was just me when I found that chip and bump shots with the G700 seem to rocket off the face, and even after a year I still have problems.

[@the_bearded_bus_driver]

After starting to play again me and my dad have been today for a fitting and these are what I’ve gone for..my first ever brand new set of irons..I’ve always had my dads hand me downs but I’m glad I’ve been for a fitting because I’m tall I was bending over with the standard TM irons I’ve been using

[@c-mac9736]

Clay Long designed irons for Nicklaus Golf with extreme heel toe weighting 9-10 years ago. The Polarity HP and Polarity HCT. Still have my HCT's. Great hitting irons.

[@darrenaustralia3623]

I like the angle where when you hit the shot you can see it’s flight path from back angle

[@kennethsutton8815]

I got these clubs this year and I love them. I actually like the sound.

[@Mungo-ul9pv]

Think the G410 looks loud, never mind sounding loud. Did have the ping G but felt they popped the ball off the face, hence changed to Mizuno forged. The ping G was a lot longer though.

[@wretchedrider2157]

Ping g410 are definitely a sleeper iron set at the end of 2021... I got a like-new set from its original owner, 4-PW for 400 bucks. That's over half-price from when new. They are superb. I don't think they run hot or long, really, when you play them at their loft rather than number on the club. Just my opinion, naturally...

[@taylorthompson2742]

I love the G series of irons. Play the G400. Most amateurs would benefit from these. I wish they came in an all black stealth finish like the Glide 2.0.

[@terrorfactoryfilms]

Got fitted into these mid-August whilst upgrading from my 33 y/o TA 845s Silver Scot. I'm having a lot of difficult adjust though, as I just can't seem to hit them flush. A lot of off-center hits out towards the toe. They're forgiving, so the shots still go straight, but losing a bit of distance. Going back to the fitter this week to double-check everything and make sure we got it right, but so far it's been disappointing.

[@CarlosPerez-hs6cm]

I notice you like the softer sounding and feeling clubs a lot more over the aggressive sounding clubs. Personally, I dont mind a club with a louder aggressive style as long as it performs great. Need to keep an eye for them. Worth the upgrade from M4 irons though?..

[@shauntaylor7244]

Great review fantastic watching the ball land on the green , not just data on a screen ⛳️ . 🏌

[@spaniels1]

Rick Shiels you’ve made it a bit easier for me but I will test the G400 and G410 and get fitted for the Ping Irons your reviews are great 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@JigZor]

I had Ping i20 iton set. After 5 years, the cover began to peel like a tin can. I made the switch to Mizuno JPX 900 Tour and haven't looked back. Enjoy the reviews Rick, certainly a go to stop before purchasing a set if you're in the market.

[@RickShielsPGA]

Thanks for watching Jack!

[@colynmiles6206]

agree with you Rick, the 400's are better. I used to play Ping but fell in love with forged Mizuno irons, no way back to Ping now.

[@alexconnor8974]

Great review for relief. Just got fitted for a full set of G410 irons right before the lockdown here in NZ. Must say the forgiveness for my game is paramount and will greatly improve the game, that is when I can get out next. Only got to put a down payment on them as the price here with a discount is $1700.00. So am really hanging out to get a hold of them. Absolutely love the feel of the strike with them, but for now will have to settle with hitting the Brosnan Zodiac 2’s around the back yard.

[@garryrussell6612]

I have the gmax irons and was wondering if I would benefit by using either the g400 or g410 clubs.

[@MrRedmania]

I play jpx900 hot metal. I'm looking at upgrading and have identified the these a potential club. I'd really like to see the f9 speedback in a review also.

[@jasonosterhoff4840]

I have never been a fan of Ping clubs. These look better than previous models but the sound really hard and usually that transfers to the feel. I'm waiting on the new Apex irons they look good and hopefully they will perform even better. As always thank you Rick for your great and honest reviews!!

[@kevinchoi310]

Good review rick. These irons look pretty good with those minimal offset. Only thing I don't like with ping is why do they put that notch from the hosel. Isn't that part of the iron under high pressure at impact. Have anyone played ping irons that bended out of angles over time?

[@Persondergaard-GT7]

A good review Rick, im not a great Ping iron fan, like their woods more. A little request here in the cold winther time, i know you use Garmin products, is there any chance for a review on the new approach G80. Could be nice to see how good the launch monitor part of the unit is ⛳️ The best regards from Denmark

[@thomasross1285]

Mp-18sc & blades combo, 718 cb's, spoiled. Cg on MP-18 blades too close to hosel. Toe up & address towards heel necessary. I know you toe up on irons, do you think you can change your address to square with game improvement irons like these with the cg moved toward the center of the face?

[@TheStallion234]

Great review as always, Rick. I tested these yesterday at the shop and actually thought the sound was great. Then again, I like that crack when hitting an iron. Like you said, it’s personal preference

[@matthewfranson6523]

6:30 wow, great strike. I knew that was good before you said it!

[@randyunderwood2894]

i got the 400 last year. i have trouble getting consistent spin on the greens as in...sometimes none at all with mid-irons. and you are right. can't play that low bump and run pitch with control. i don't see anything here that makes me want to go upgrade to 410

[@tryNtryAGAIN]

Cheers for the review I probably would do well with these game improvement irons but can't stand chunky clubs Had a look at these clubs and arnt that chunky at all

[@paddymckibbin3957]

Hi Rick how would you compare these to the Ping i25s re: forgiveness, performance, playability? Very interested in your thoughts. Thanks

[@nickyoung1253]

Great review. How would you compare the g410’s to the Titleist AP1’s?

[@ACP222]

I am using G410 amazing irons, hit my 5 approx 210, 7 is like 175, 9 is 145 my handicap dropped to 16 in just 3 months

[@TXchadTX]

helped my friend buy his first set - had the same conclusion. g400 felt and sounded softer and more forgiving. He actually thought he was hitting shots slightly thin with the g410 because the sound of the g410 was so much harsher

[@mharri333]

I am playing ping G with Ping G700 5 and 6. Love the G700. Wondering if I should go all G 700 or all G410?

[@ClineThompson]

High-handicapper here, still can't let go of my hand-me-down Ping-Eye2s . Perfect fit and until I can play enough to lower my scores, I can't justify giving them up.

[@wolle1314]

Great Video Rick as always. Can you please make a one on one with the new Callaway PM Grind and the TM Hi-Toe 60°. Which is the better Lobwedge? Thanks Rick.

[@digitaldiezel5870]

What about consistency? Is each club hitting the roughly the same distance on each hit?

[@breakinggates]

Hey, so I just noticed that your 7 iron has a launch angle of ~18°. I am pointing that out because my 8° driver has a launch angle of 14.5°. I carry the ball ~290-300 as is, should I be concerned? If so, what is something I could try to lower the launch angle?

[@benthomas5151]

Great review Rick Love how you do a comprehensive on course test and not much inside well done mate keep up the excellent tests

[@evansnyder5948]

i could not tell the difference between the sounds of the 400 vs 410. but it definitely has a twacky noise to it. currently rocking the Titleist Ap3s

[@jimcole2648]

I wonder who would pick what irons. These or the titleist ap1?

[@johnkraus5454]

I think that a lot of the guys playing these irons may be playing a softer ball like maybe the Callaway Supersoft or Bridgestone E6 Soft. I wander if that will make the sound & feel more pleasing?

[@davewatts7444]

Great review very honest, for me if performance is close then why spend £400 more for a "better looking club" ? Because the G 400 will come down in price. Where and when by the way did you test them on course? Looked very nice

[@kevint.5814]

I just fitted the g410 for me and bought it right away. Awesome clubs. But rick. Which song is it when u hit the course? Love this one.

[@paulfoster5121]

Hi Rick, great review of the Ping G410s , but witch clubs out there offer the most forgiveness in your well educated opinion 👍👍👍👍

[@eyeontime6136]

I just got a set of G410 irons. They don't sound great, but they are very forgiving. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of how they look, not a fan of the back catch, but they work for me so yeah.

[@vortechdgt1]

EyeOnTime I agree, just picked up a set with +.5” of length (blue dots). I love how forgiving they are but they aren’t the prettiest irons.

[@twitchnrlax1266]

just got some this weekend! feel great!

[@garybrumley3519]

Another great review, Rick. I like how you give your unbiased opinions, even if they are not hyping the product. I found it interesting that you appeared to be using different balls for your Quad and on course evaluations. I understand why you like a certain ball for playing a round, but don’t you think that the differences in the balls might give you different on course results, i.e. spin or launch angles? Just curious about this, if I saw it correctly. Thanks for your opinions. I feel that I can trust them.

[@paulmitchell1884]

Rick, playing G400. Lowered my handicap from 18 to 8 in a year, what would be the next step up in ping iron family? Just tried the Hogan PTX and they feel good would just need lofts to match the 400’s. Cheers Paul.

[@smithjones569]

really surprised I haven't seen a review for the Callaway Apex 19 irons . but I'll keep hoping

[@gasboss5207]

the new ping G410 irons look great . I play with ping irons at the moment, could be time to buy some new irons. Thanks Rick

[@petercavellini3232]

I liked my Irons 1 degree flat and two degrees open, worked for me!

[@foghorn51rater]

I just took out my new Wilson Staff F6 irons the other day and im loving them.

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

I just hit those clubs at a demo day today. I hit a bunch of favorable shots. Better than the i500s.

[@mrjughead87]

Ok, Rick. I'm enjoying what I'm seeing. These irons seem reasonable in price (need that 3 iron personally) and seem to have reasonable if not great results while testing and playing.

[@peterk5899]

I think the black and red backs just look cheap and plastic. Not the best looking irons for me.

[@liamhobson6688]

I must admit I wasn't fussed on the look of the G400's either. One of the things that put me off them.

[@kellymiller7859]

I agree completely they look very cheap with the colors and crazy shapes in the back cavity?

[@chrissonnenberg3168]

I definitely love the feel and sound of my G410’s

[@TadaOU]

same. favorite irons I've ever used. shot -3 with the g410 full set. best golf ive ever played

[@Len_M.]

Luke Stewart You rent or buy? How much was the full set? Just looking into possibly getting them for next year.

[@TadaOU]

@@Len_M. bought 5-pw for 800 and added the 4 iron on later for 100. if you get the 4-pw for some reason its like 300 dollars more. I have a full ping set. g410 driver 3 wood 3 hybrid 4-pw and glide forged 52, 56, 60, and sigma anser 2 putter. best set I've ever used and I've had 4 or 5 sets

[@TadaOU]

@@Len_M. a bit expensive for the full set but 100% worth every penny

[@boricua4118]

any chance you check out the Honma clubs?

[@KrypTeK702]

Getting new irons in the next few weeks and I’ve had my eye on these clubs. Personally I think they are the best looking irons I’ve ever seen. Would love to get my hands on a set. Especially with that price tag. Can’t go wrong.

[@chrismurray3275]

Hello Rick, huge fan of your content. Watch every video that you come out with. I am a very brand loyal type person. Just purchased some G400 irons for this next year. Been looking into fairway woods, hybrids, or driving irons. I personally prefer driving irons but I saw you weren’t a big fan of the G400 Crossover irons. Now they have the G410 Crossover irons. I am curious if you will be able to do a review on the improvements from the G400 to the G410. Also, maybe comparing or reviewing the fairway woods and hybrids as well. As stated before, Love your content. Keep up the great work!

[@Stu412t]

I think you are separating yourself away from other golf reviewers of late. I’m enjoying yours much better then any other channel. Your editing is super smooth with lots of nice subtle touches. But your method of testing and the way it comes across is far superior to other equipment testers. IMO.

[@brendanhanley2424]

Awesome review mate. I'm playing the G400 irons for a year now and I love the feel/sound when I make good contact. I'll be keeping my 400's then.

[@lucasnubert89]

Its stupid to change clubs the very next model almost everytime. G400s will be great in my bag for another few years

[@raymondogle1803]

Hope they are as good. I have just bought a set of 410’s custom fitted should be ready for next week. Enjoyed your video never hit a 410 so can’t compare. But then I’m not in your class of player Rick.

[@MrGameMeister]

Always appreciate your reviews! Curious why the change in format? I will say that I much prefer the additional detail you usually present off of GC Quad, at least the formatting that shows ball flight characteristics at the front and center, and not in small boxes to the side. And while I am not sure you do this only for drivers, I do like to see how a particular club sits in terms of your average norms. It gives us a better sense of relative comparison to market.
