Ping G410 SFT Driver

Loft Options & Stock Shafts

Max Game Improvement Driver

The G410 SFT is Ping's answer to one problem: the slice that won't quit. SFT stands for Straight Flight Technology, and that name is the whole pitch. Ping shifted internal weight toward the heel to help the face square up through impact, so the ball starts left of a slice and often finds the fairway instead of the right rough. If you've fought a fade that turns into a banana ball under pressure, this is the driver built for you.

Underneath the draw bias, it's still a G410. That means a 460cc head, a forgiving footprint, and Ping's dragonfly crown that saves weight up top and pushes the center of gravity low and back. High launch, low spin relative to the ball speed it produces, and a big margin for error on off-center hits. The SFT gives up a little adjustability compared to the G410 Plus, which had a movable weight track. Here the weight is fixed in the heel to lock in that draw.

What you do get is an adjustable hosel. Eight loft settings let you tune launch and, just as important, tweak the face angle and lie to dial in how much correction you actually need. A confirmed slicer can crank it toward the draw settings. A player with a mild miss can back it off. That flexibility is why this driver works for a wider range of players than a pure anti-slice club usually does.

• You slice the driver and want a club that fights it for you instead of another swing tip that lasts one range session.
• A moderate swing speed player who needs help getting the ball airborne and holding a straighter line.
• Someone who wants forgiveness and draw bias in one head and doesn't care about a movable weight track.
• Higher handicappers who value keeping the ball in play over squeezing out every last yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SFT mean on the Ping G410?

SFT is Straight Flight Technology. Ping positioned weight in the heel of the head to help the face square up at impact, which reduces a slice and promotes a slight draw. It's the most draw-biased driver in the G410 lineup.

What's the difference between the G410 SFT and the G410 Plus?

The Plus has a movable weight track that lets you shift the bias between draw, neutral, and fade, so it's the more customizable, lower-spinning option for better players. The SFT locks the weight in the heel for a fixed draw bias aimed at slicers, and it launches a touch higher. Both share the same 460cc head and adjustable hosel.

Will the G410 SFT help me stop slicing?

For most players, yes. The heel weighting does real work to close the face through impact, and you can push it further with the draw settings on the adjustable hosel. It won't fully fix a severe over-the-top move, but it will straighten out the typical mild-to-moderate slice.

Is the G410 SFT adjustable?

The hosel is adjustable with eight settings covering about plus or minus 1.5 degrees of loft plus lie and face-angle changes. The head weight itself is fixed in the heel, so unlike the G410 Plus you can't dial the draw bias up or down with a movable weight.

Is the G410 SFT still worth buying?

As a used or discounted club, it's a strong value. The 2019 G410 platform launched well and stayed accurate, and the SFT's slice correction hasn't gone out of date. If you can find one that fits your loft and shaft needs, it competes fine with newer anti-slice drivers at a fraction of the price.
