Ping G410 Irons Review – Are They Forgiving & Good for High Handicappers?
The Ping G410 irons are very unique in that they pack game-improvement features into a head that is sized and shaped like a player’s performance iron. So are they good for beginners? Find out in the following overview.
Ping G410 Irons Overview
With a shorter blade length than most game-improvement irons, the Ping G410’s take some getting used to.
The Ping G410 irons also have less offset than most game-improvement irons. The idea behind these clubs was to make a set of game-improvement irons that don’t look like game-improvement irons and we must say that Ping succeeded in bringing this idea to life.
Despite the look at address that may be off-putting to some beginners, the Ping G410 have extreme perimeter weighting in the hosel and the toe. That means more power is imparted to your swing nearly regardless of where you make contact on the face.
Are Ping G410 Irons Forgiving?
It’s hard to work around the shorter blade and small heads of these irons but if you do, you will discover surprising forgiveness.
The face hinges almost freely which helps to increase ball speed by a significant amount. However, most of our testers also noted a bit of instability with the longer irons. It was hard for some of our high handicap testers to keep the ball straight with the Ping G410’s.
Are the Ping G410 Irons Good for Beginners & High Handicappers?
Players who are just starting out with golf may want to check out the Ping G400 irons before the Ping G410 irons.
While you do get a good amount of distance help with these irons, the aid is only accessible if you are able to find the sweet spot consistently. In general, high handicappers wouldn’t be able to benefit as much from the Ping G410 irons as mid handicappers would.
Should you buy the Ping G410 or the G400 Irons?
The Ping G400 irons have longer blade lengths and are more congenial for beginners and high handicappers.
With the G400 irons, you still get all the distance help as with the Ping G410’s; only in a more congenial head size for beginners. The G400 irons also have more offset to keep your shots on-line. However, if you are switching the purview to that of mid handicappers, we would recommend the Ping G410 irons.
