With the PING G410 Fairway Woods being a favorite among golfers, can the PING G425 Fairway woods hold up or even do better?

Well, they definitely are off to a great start with awesome new innovations and an incredible look, check out this video to learn all about this impressive new release!

G425 Fairway Woods

In the PING G425 Fairway woods there are 3 variations; the MAX, LST (Low Spin Technology), and SFT (Straight Flight Technology) to best match a golfer’s swing and launch conditions.

Among these clubs there are a lot of similarities and a fe differences.

So, let’s start off with everything that they have in common.

Facewrap Technology

With the Facewrap design, a thin, high-strength maraging steel face extends into the crown and sole to provide increased flexing for faster ball speeds that result in greater distance and high launching shots.

Spinsistency

To bring more consistent spin performance, the faces of the fairway woods and hybrids are engineered with a complex face curvature that modifies the roll profile, mainly low on the face where the loft decreases approximately 2.5º to normalize spin and increase ball speed for more distance. Both player and PING Man robot testing revealed greatly improved distance results from Spinsistency, specifically low on the face, the most common miss-hit for fairway woods and hybrids.

Easy To Aim

On the crown, a new 3-dot alignment feature provides golfers a visual cue to address the ball to best match their eye.

Tungsten Weighting

A high-density tungsten sole weight is strategically positioned to increase the MOI for added forgiveness

Smart Grips

Arccos Caddie Smart Grips are standard. An embedded sensor automatically records and analyzes every shot when paired with the Arccos Caddie app.

Easy Adjustability

Trajectory Tuning 2.0 utilizes a lightweight, aerodynamic hosel sleeve that provides eight positions to customize your trajectory for maximum distance and accuracy.

Alright so, now that we know all of the awesome innovations they had in common, let’s dive into the the differences!
