UltimatelyI will be following the advice of my PING fitter and putting the G400 driver in my bag. The PING G400 LST driver is a monster, but with my game where it is, I will take as much forgiveness as I can get.

Very nice review..I bought the regular g400 9* with the Alta CB 55 stiff. It spun way too much, ballooning many drives and returned it. I was lucky enough to find the LST 8.5* with the same shaft and boy what a difference. The LST hit lower piercing drives which was the ball flight I was looking for. I really thought the problem was the shaft originally but with the same shaft and the LST turned out to be a real bomber. Awesome driver. My average swing speed is 110 mph, somewhat fast tradition and play to a 6 handicap.Thank you. BTW I have the iblades as well and love them.


I played with Calaway drivers for years. Then I got a g30 Lst. It was the best and longest I had hit until I got the g400. Between the purchase of the g30 LST and Ping 400lst I also bought a m1 and an epic. No contest. G30lst beats them all.


I know its hard to make recommendations having not seen someone swing and its down to personal preference but your opinion would be greatly appreciated. As they all close would you go with the G400 max head given that the nunchuk shaft is low spin and spin should not be an issue or would you go with the G400 LST as I assume being a little smaller its easier to work the ball. Is the G400 max workable or does it just want to go straight?


To develop the tool, I examined the USB traffic from the Windows Logitech software using Wireshark. I noticed the software using two HID "feature reports": one for the sampling rate and another for the DPI level. The DPI level report had ID 0x8e with a second byte of 3, 4, 5, or 6. I think they correspond to 400, 800, 1800, and 3600 DPI.


During development of this script, though, I noticed that the device is also happy with a DPI level of 7. It turns out that if I set the DPI to 7, then the DPI+/DPI- buttons no longer adjust the DPI and instead send an event visible with xev. The DPI-default button is always visible with xev.


To set DPI-7, just run logitech-g400-config.py set -d3600_frozen (after installing libhidapi and maybe setting up udev -- see the README for details). The high DPI might make the mouse pointer very fast. I'm personally using DPI-5 right now with a bunch of xinput settings to tweak the acceleration.
