NEW PING G400 FAIRWAY WOOD & PING G400 STRETCH REVIEW 

I have cycled through driver after driver and picked up the G400 stretch in hopes to get more consistency off the tee but with minimal loss of distance and this G400 has done exactly that. I hit it arrow straight and as far as any of my drivers did off the tee!

Last year's Stretch G is so easy to hit off the fairway. If you need a 3 wood to move the ball forward on a par 5 to have a shorter 3rd shot, then look into this club. I can't reach the green in 2 on a par 5, so the lower spin doesn't come into play. It's amazing off the tee for tight fairways. (I'm an 11 handicap)

Good review. The fairway actually sounds better outdoors. I think that boxy garage you're hitting from is echo'ing the higher frequencies. Outdoors it's a bit more tame, acoustically.

Hi rick.... match ups: G400 Vs. Old bluey !!! G400 stretch Vs. Cobra Fly Z or similar

You should adjust the loft on the stretch 3 wood. Go down to 12 degrees and up to 14 degrees so we can the different flights and distance. I'm always in the market for a strong 3 wood of mini driver. Great review.

Rick, do you plan on posting a video on the GC 2 vs GC quad? Though most of us can't afford to own one personally, it might be good to see the differences in equipment that you are using to test the clubs.

I gotta tell ya Rick. I have the Ping G 400 Woods in the S.F.T. models. I have the # 3,5, and 7 and added the 9. They are insanely powerful and accurate. I love them. I love the shallowness of them . So easy to hit off the ground. I went to get get fitted . Tried the Callaway Rogue woods with only mediocre results. Then the Ping and everything came alive. Strangely enough I later decided that I wanted an 11 wood. Ping didn't sell one so ,,,,,, I decided to try the Callaway Rogue 11 Wood. Low and behold no trouble hitting with that one. So thats my current collection of Woods. :) Peace my friend. Spider Dubiel

with the Stretch looking more of a tee club it would have been good to see a shot off a tee with it. Just to see if you get different numbers. I know i tend to shallow my 3 wood attack angle a bit more when it's teed up so with the stretch would likely reduce the spin more.

Rick I noticed on your review of older clubs, speaking of Ping. The Rapture V2 is never mentioned. I was told they lead into what Ping is doing now. If you could find them would you please give a review.

My i25 3 wood is my favorite club in my bag. That stretch looks like it would make a great addition

Hi Rick. First of all i want to congratulate you on your videos. It's really great! Just want to ask. Does the irons have the same swing weight or what should be their swing weights?

Still have not seen your SFT review on these. I recently bought the 3, 5, 7 and 9 Woods in these after getting fitted to them. They are amazing!!!!!! I have played several rounds with these now and love em. Between these and my Callaway Hybrids I have it all covered. I am not a fan of the stretch though. More difficult to hit and not as forgiving in my opinion. You hit it extremely well though Rick. :) Cheers Rick! Spider Dubiel

Hello Rick! When is the driver tutorial that you spoke of in the Complete golf swing guide coming? I'm looking forward to it. Kind regards from Sweden

IM SOLD! getting that G400 stretch asap

Great review as usual. I fully agree with you Rick as it feels and plays as a "Mini Driver". I bought it a few weeks back and I got installed a 44" shaft and got the head hotmelt to a D3 Swing Weight. It became a great "Wood 2" for tight Par 4. Last but not least, it plays relatively easy from the fairways contrary to TM Mini driver and Callway 1.5 Mini driver.

Hello rick, I've got the PING G woods and I like the sound, the pingy sound it makes the confident so many players would like it and I would like to try the new PING G400. Keep going so good your are incredible and thank you for all the review. Thank you

Hey Rick lower it to 12* adn go for 300 yds

@rickshielsgolf would you consider doing a 3 wood vs 5 wood vs 7 wood comparison video with pro/cons and maybe have your mid handicapper test then as well?

Love the content Rick! Was wondering if you could do an updated how to with fairway woods. Keep it up.

C'mon, Rick! Let's start hitting some of a tee with the lower lofted 3 woods. That would be a nice addition to your reviews.

Regarding the shallowness of the face, is it as shallow as the G 3W or more so?

Hi Rick, really appreciate your video tips. May I ask a question re the Ping G400 and G400 Stretch fairway woods you have demonstrated. I have searched high and low on the internet for a G400 Senior 7 wood. They are scarcer than hens teeth 😳 Do you know where, if anywhere, I might get one ? Several golf equipment websites don’t even show these 7 woods, only 3 or 5 and even 9. When asked about the G400 7 wood I have had various replies, EG Ping aren’t producing the G400 range as they are selling better than the later G series ? Others have said that Ping Europe are taking weeks ( usually two ) to produce as they need the components to come over from the USA.

That stretch 3 wood looks a little bit like a minimized driver :)

Can you do a comparison between the G400 Stretch and the EPIC + EPIC Sub Zero 13 degree woods?

I'm late to the party but I got a G400 3W SFT today!

good reviews. I may just get the g30 stretch when my driver is going bonkers. Once again, great vid. Thanks rick

Good looking woods. Enjoyed the review. Can't get enough lol. Spider Dubiel

Where is the review for the Callaway Steelhead XR 3 wood??

Should have hit one off the tee

Seems to play 50 to 75 feet off centreline. On my course that is in the woods on every drive!

should see what the stretch does off a tee

Have you decided not to do the SFT driver??

Can you please review Wilson staff c 200 irons

Which Golf Simulator u are using????

Would like to see Rick move virtual green into 250 yds to see if he can produce a high cut from the deck which stops on green. Just to test the work ability of the fairways.

Head to head Ping Stretch vs Ol' Blue-y!!

Maybe a TP-5x would be lower spinning? it's the pro v1 that is the problem Rick hah

When rick reviewed the Ping g fairway wood the average carry was 249. The average carry on the G400 was 239 (probably about 243 without the first shot). Its the same loft. How have they managed to lose distance in between generations.

What golf pride grip is that..?

Would have liked to see you hit the stretch off a tee Rick, any chance? test it v Epic

I don't know why companies do not put in the head sponge or styafoam. It would deaden the sound and will only increase weight by 1/16 of a gram. I'm with you Rick.., tired of the big explosion off the face. But.., loving the Ping driver & 3w stretch. Time to ck it out.

Great video! Awesome outfit btw 😉

Video idea: Trying to reach 300+ yards off the deck with the G400 Stretch

I'm about to buy these brand new from my pro three years later for 500!

i need that Nike golf shirt!

Could this replace old bluey

got to compare the smaller g400 to the epic... how can you not?

Don't lose "Old Bluey" just yet. Kudos to Ping for junking that absolute GARBAGE blue standard shaft in favor of the Tour Spec Shaft. Clean lines and I like the way they positioned the weights at the bottom. Nice improvements, but was looking for a complete redo from Driver on down.

Hit the stretch off a tee for curiosity sake

"that came out like a bulletship!" 😅

Rick please send that shirt back to Nike and tell them to send you a different one ;).

You only hit the stretched club good once. That time it had 2000 spin is incredible off the deck. But you should have hit better (or more) shots to show it's potential.

Great as always ❤️ love ya rick

I've never understood the obsession over the "sound" of a club

I need that outfit!

Head to head with the Cobra LTD fairways

Not a fan of the shirt, looks like you work for a NASCAR crew.

Whats a bullet ship and when are you reviewing it? 😂

Time to change balls:) to tp5

Ping vs Callaway Ping vs Taylor Made

Bullet ship ha ha ha.

I cracked two of the faces on the stretch 3 wood within 10 days. PING sent me a new head and then 2 days later I cracked it on the range warming up. I have a high swing speed but its still completely ridiculous. Never buying PING again.

YOUR THE BET BRO

There is way too much emphasis on how clubs sound. Anyone caught up in that isn't being honest about their goals. What matters is what happens with the ball, from tee to landing location. rich hits a few shots here that he clearly loves to death, then discounts the club because of its sound. I'm not sure I can dig this.

On the first one the ball just seems to fall out of the sky with not penetration at all, more like a hybrid flight than a 14.5 3 wood.

Pretty much exact same review as Ping G strecth... driver repalcement club of a small tee

Why not tested set at same loft to get a true comparison?

'Bullet ship'

Enjoy your videos. But these are not reviews. Tons of similar ‘reviewers’ on the web also just post data from simulators and call these reviews. Not!

picture is very fuzzy

Not very impressed. Would suit me but it simply does not go further.

30 sec adverts with NO skip is a piss take.

Only 228 carry, what a wuss ! LOL

Underwhelming
