In the G425 driver series, the primary model is\nnamed Max as it elevates the moment of inertia (MOI) to PING\u2019s highest level in\nhistory and provide golfers the most forgiving driver in golf. Joining the G425\nMax are the LST (Low Spin Technology) and SFT (Straight Flight Technology) to\nbest match a golfer\u2019s swing and launch conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve the new performance levels in the G425 Max (9\u00ba, 10.5\u00ba, 12\u00ba lofts), PING engineers combined key technologies from the G400 Max and G410 Plus. The resulting increase in MOI in the 460cc head comes mainly from a 26-gram tungsten movable weight, which is made possible by weight savings attributed to advancements in the driver\u2019s dragonfly crown technology. The weight can be positioned at distinctive settings over a smaller area than G410 Plus\/LST to help shift the center of gravity lower and farther back without sacrificing performance elsewhere in the design. The CG-shifting weight can be secured in one of three settings — neutral, draw or fade — to influence forgiveness and shot shape for maximum performance. The average MOI increase is 14% across the three weight positions compared to the G410 Plus, with three combinations of weight position and loft exceeding a combined MOI of 10,000 (gm-cm\u00b2).

The LST model (9\u00ba, 10.5\u00ba lofts) is designed with a pear-shaped head and measures 445cc to deliver spin reductions of approximately 200 rpm compared to the G410 LST and 500-700 rpm versus the G425 Max. The smaller head size of the LST employs a 17-gram CG shifter with three settings (Draw, Neutral, Fade) to fit the launch conditions best suited to the golfer\u2019s swing and desired ball flight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For golfers who commonly miss their tee shots to\nthe right, the 460cc SFT version (10.5\u00ba loft) is engineered with draw bias to\nhelp bring shots back on-line and into the fairway. It features a fixed 23-gram\ntungsten back weight that shifts the CG closer to the heel to promote a\nright-to-left shot bend of approximately 25 yards compared to the G425 Max\nmodel. A lighter swingweight (D1) also helps influence the ball flight\ncorrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

To help contribute to increases in swing speed and\nball speed, all three models share proven PING driver innovations, including\nturbulators for reduced aerodynamic drag and the proprietary T9S+ forged face\nto accelerate face flexing for more distance. An internal rib structure in the\nTi-8-1-1 body improves acoustics for a solid and pleasing sound.  Each\nmodel also features the lightweight, 8-position hosel for loft (+-1.5\u00ba) and lie\n(up to 3\u00ba flatter) adjustments to further dial in ball flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
