Ping G425 Max

Caddyroom Take
The G425 Max was the benchmark for forgiveness in 2021 and remained a reference point for several subsequent driver generations. The 26-gram movable tungsten weight in three positions added genuine draw/fade customization without requiring a rebuild, unlike most adjustable-sole competitors. Head size sits at a full 460cc with a 45.5-inch stock length, which is 0.25 to 0.5 inches shorter than most competitors, and the tighter dispersion data that resulted from the shorter shaft was consistent across independent testing. Used prices are fair, supply is healthy, and the design philosophy has not changed: this head will still out-forgive most alternatives below a $200 used market price.
