G425 Irons 4.7 out of 5 stars, average rating value. Read 460 Reviews. Same page link. The metal-wood-style, variable-thickness face and internal geometry increase ball speed and flexing for launching shots higher and farther with stopping power to hold greens.

From there you can increase the loft of the club. You can also decrease the loft of the club. And finally you can adjust the loft and lie.

Retro Spec Loft is a fitting option if you're less concerned with overall distance and more with precision and a higher trajectory for more stopping power. This loft configuration yields functional distance gaps for utilizing a 3-wedge setup or a more classic loft spec.

PING G425. The PING G425 iron is the most forgiving iron we've ever tested using MOI as a base measurement. On average, most of the game improvement irons we test have an MOI of 2,700 and the PING G425 comes in over 3,000. MOI is important since it helps decrease mis-hits and maintain ball speed.

The PING G425 Max driver features a 26-gram tungsten weight that can be moved into three different positions: draw, neutral, or fade. This weight makes the PING G425 Max the most forgiving driver PING has ever made with a record MOI rating of 10,000 points.

The PING G425 LST driver is a bit more compact, a little smaller than the G425 MAX. By the numbers, that makes it a bit more aerodynamic, though the shorter typical build lengths tend to offset any swing speed gains. It's the lowest spinning of the PING G425 drivers.

An experienced PING certified fitter will help guide the golfer into a lie angle that primarily achieves their desired ball flight while also promoting optimal turf interaction with a neutral dynamic lie angle.

That said, if you're more of a “yeah, I slice it a bit but I'm pretty sure I'll get over it” type of guy, the G425 MAX still offers plenty of slice correction without the full commitment. The PING G425 SFT is available only in 10.5 degrees.

The Power Spec is a custom-designed loft configuration that delivers a power boost in a calculated fashion without sacrificing the integrity of the club's design. Retro Spec Loft is a fitting option if you're less concerned with overall distance and more with precision and a higher trajectory for more stopping power.

The short answer to this is no. You don't need a lob wedge in your bag if you learn how to properly use your sand wedge to achieve the desired loft. Yet, many players feel uncomfortable opening their sand wedge to hit soft, high shots as this decreases versatility.

When it comes to the PING G410 vs. G425 driver, both golf clubs have incredibly high MOI and forgiveness. The PING G425 MAX is going to be hard to beat since the MOI is higher than the PING G410 driver, but the latter is still a great option, especially if you're exploring used driver options.
