“Maximum-forgiveness rung-1 driver - a legitimate forever-home off the tee (R5). If it's launching, there's nothing to fix.”

The G400 SFT (Straight Flight Technology) carried Ping's slice-fighting heel-weighted design forward from the G30 SF Tec, built on the 2017 G400 platform's thin forged face and Dragonfly-informed weighting for a lighter, 203-gram head. Reviewers consistently note the draw bias is calibrated rather than extreme - dispersion shifts noticeably left and slicing becomes harder, but a competent player can still shape a fade if needed, unlike older, more heavy-handed anti-slice drivers. It combined that draw help with the standard G400's forgiveness credentials, making it Ping's answer for players who wanted both maximum forgiveness and built-in slice correction in the same head rather than choosing between the standard G400 and a separate corrective driver.

No cult status - it's a well-executed, functional corrective-fitting SKU, praised in reviews (called 'the #1 driver I would recommend' for slicers by one outlet) but not chased or collected. Its reputation is purely about doing its narrow job well, the same honest-commodity pattern as its G30 SF Tec predecessor.

Built for moderate swing speeds (roughly 70-95 mph) who consistently slice or fade and want a driver that fights that shot shape while still being maximally forgiving on mis-hits. A player who already draws the ball or swings faster than that range should use the standard G400 or LST - the heel bias here will over-correct a straight or draw-leaning swing into a hook.

• Head weight of 203 grams, matching the lighter build first used on the G30 SF Tec's slice-fighting design.
• Weight biased toward the heel for draw-shaped gear effect, built on the G400 platform's thin forged face.
• Offered in 10 and 12 degrees, favoring higher-launching lofts typical of corrective-fitting drivers.
• Reviewers specifically praised the draw bias as 'not overdone' compared to older heavy-handed anti-slice drivers.
• Direct successor to the G30 SF Tec, continuing Ping's slice-fighting driver sub-line into the G400 generation.

Part of the 2017 G400 driver family (standard, SFT, LST, later Max), continuing the slice-fighting lineage from the G30 SF Tec (2014) and preceding the G410 SFT (2019) and G425 SFT. It competed with TaylorMade's M2 and Callaway's Big Bertha Fusion as anti-slice options of the same generation.

A clean G400 SFT typically sells for $100-150 private-party in 2026, down from its roughly $400 retail price. As with the rest of the G400 driver family, it holds value slightly better than the earlier G30-generation SF Tec thanks to being a more recent, still-relevant model.
