The Ping G400 landed in 2017 as the game-improvement iron for players who want distance and forgiveness without moving all the way into a super-game-improvement chunky head. It has a cast 17-4 stainless steel body, a cavity back, and tungsten weighting in the toe. The 7-iron sits at 30 degrees, which was strong for its day and is part of why these irons carry the ball noticeably farther than a set of blades or players cavity backs.
What makes the G400 work is the thin, flexible face paired with weight pushed out to the perimeter and down low. Ping calls the face design its metal-wood-inspired flexing face, and the practical result is ball speed that holds up even when you catch it thin or off the toe. The tungsten in the toe raises the moment of inertia, so mishits twist the head less and lose less distance and direction.
These are not compact irons. The topline is moderate, there's real offset, and the sole is wide enough to glide through turf instead of digging. If you're a mid-to-high handicapper chasing more carry and a bigger margin for error, the G400 is squarely aimed at you. If you want to shape shots and control trajectory precisely, look at Ping's i-series instead.
要点

テクノロジー
About the Ping G400
Ping used progressive lofts and progressive design through the set, so the long irons are built to launch high and the short irons are built for control. The 4-iron at 20.5 degrees is genuinely low-lofted and plays more like a hybrid alternative for distance, while the wedges stay in a range where you can still stop the ball. Tungsten toe weighting and a shaft-tip weight let Ping push mass to the extremes without changing the head shape, which is how they raised MOI while keeping the look reasonably clean. The face is thin and unsupported through the middle so it flexes at impact for more ball speed, and the Custom Tuning Port at the back dampens vibration and helps the sound stay solid rather than clicky. A hydropearl chrome finish sheds water and cuts glare. It's a cast iron, not forged, so the feel is firmer than a soft forged blade, but the perimeter weighting does most of the heavy lifting on off-center hits.
ロフト分析
The Ping G400's 7-iron is lofted at 30° - near-traditional - close to the classic 32-34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 150-160 yards. The 5-iron (23.5°) to 7-iron gap of 6.5° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 44.5° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
Who Should Play the Ping G400?
- ✓Mid and high handicappers who want maximum carry distance and a large forgiveness window on mishits.
- ✓Players coming out of an older set of cavity backs who want more ball speed without giving up a playable look at address.
- ✓Anyone who tends to miss toward the toe and loses too much distance and direction when they do.
- ✓Golfers who don't need to work the ball much and would rather have a set that launches high and holds greens on full swings.
- ✓Slower to moderate swing speeds that benefit from the strong lofts and low center of gravity getting the ball airborne.
よくある質問
What is the 7-iron loft on the Ping G400?
The G400 7-iron is 30 degrees. That's strong for a game-improvement iron, and it's a big reason these hit longer than a traditional set. The full range runs from 20.5 degrees in the 4-iron up to 44.5 degrees in the pitching wedge.
Are the Ping G400 irons forged?
No. The G400 is a cast 17-4 stainless steel iron, not forged. The feel is firmer than a soft forged blade, but the thin flexing face and perimeter weighting are what these irons are built around, and cast construction is what lets Ping engineer that face and place the tungsten toe weight.
Who should play the Ping G400 versus the Ping i210?
Go G400 if you want more distance, a higher launch, and a bigger forgiveness margin, and you don't mind some offset and a wider sole. Go i210 if you're a better ball striker who wants a thinner topline, less offset, and more control over trajectory and shot shape. The G400 is game improvement; the i210 is a players cavity back.
How forgiving are the Ping G400 irons on mishits?
Very. The tungsten toe weight raises MOI so the head resists twisting on off-center strikes, and the thin flexing face keeps ball speed up when you miss the sweet spot. Toe hits in particular hold their distance better than they would in a smaller-headed iron.
Do the strong lofts on the G400 make it hard to stop the ball on greens?
Not for the golfer it's built for. The low, deep center of gravity launches the ball high, so even with 30-degree 7-iron loft you get enough height and spin to hold a green on a full swing. If you have high swing speed and want more control, a set with weaker lofts or a players iron may suit you better.
