The Ping G410 SFT is the draw-biased driver in Ping's 2019 G410 lineup, and it exists for one reason: to help golfers who slice the ball find the fairway. SFT stands for Straight Flight Technology, and Ping isn't being subtle about it. The weighting inside this head is built to close the face faster through impact and turn that weak fade into something closer to straight, or even a gentle draw.

Compared to the G410 Plus, the SFT drops the sliding weight and locks the bias in permanently toward the heel. That's the trade you're making. You give up the tuning options in exchange for a head that fights your slice on every single swing, without you having to think about it. For a lot of golfers who leak the ball right off the tee, that's a much better deal than a driver they have to manage.

This is a high-launch, high-forgiveness club aimed squarely at the player who wants help, not shot-shaping control. It won't magically fix a bad swing, but it will quiet down the right miss and get the ball airborne easily, which is exactly what a slicer needs to stop losing yards and drives out of bounds.

• Golfers who slice the ball off the tee and want built-in correction instead of managing their miss.
• Higher handicappers who need easy launch and maximum forgiveness more than they need shot-shaping control.
• Slower to moderate swing speeds that struggle to square the face and get the ball up in the air.
• Players who tried moving a weight to the draw setting on other drivers and still wanted more help turning the ball over.
• Anyone who wants a set-and-forget driver that fights the right miss on every swing without adjustments.

よくある質問

What does SFT mean on the Ping G410 SFT?

SFT stands for Straight Flight Technology. It's Ping's name for the internal heel weighting that makes the clubface easier to square through impact. The result is a driver built to straighten out a slice or produce a gentle draw, which is why the SFT is the go-to head in the G410 family for players who lose the ball to the right.

How is the G410 SFT different from the G410 Plus?

The Plus has a movable weight that slides between draw, neutral, and fade, so you can tune your bias. The SFT gives up that adjustability and fixes the weight toward the heel for a permanent draw bias. If you consistently slice and want help on every swing, the SFT does more for you. If you want to dial your shape in or out, the Plus is the better pick.

Will the Ping G410 SFT fix my slice?

It won't cure a slice caused by a bad swing path, but it will reduce it. The heel-weighted design closes the face faster and moves your ball flight about 10 yards left of a neutral driver, which is often enough to turn a slice into a playable fade or straight ball. Pair it with the higher loft option and it becomes even more effective at straightening things out.

Is the G410 SFT a forgiving driver?

Yes. At 455cc with a low, back center of gravity and the weight-saving Dragonfly crown, it has a high MOI that keeps off-center hits from twisting the face and bleeding ball speed. Forgiveness and easy launch are the whole point of this head, so mishits stay straighter and carry better than they would with a lower-spinning tour driver.

Does the G410 SFT launch the ball high?

It does. The rearward, heel-side weighting combined with the standard lofts produces a high, easy launch, which suits the slower and moderate swing speeds this driver is built for. If you already launch it high and spin it too much, a more neutral or low-spin head would serve you better, but for most slicers the extra height means more carry and better fairway retention.
