I just paid $40 to Ping https://ballfitting.com/ to identify which is best ball to play. One of the questions was around willingness to pay premium for balls. I checked okay to pay for best recommended ball. After plugging in my numbers which are very average, the ball they selected was the Pro Plus. Followed by Chrome Soft X and Z Star. I just played a round with them the other day and liked them a lot. I also lost 3 balls so the lower price was helpful. I was playing TP5 X prior.

Like my G425 LST, but lacks the booming distance I have seen in the past, although very accurate. Hoping for a TM that is long and straight like the LST.

I have a TSi2 5 Hybrid and really like it a lot. I want to get a 4 Hybrid as the 7 Wood I got isn't doing it for me. Was curious if I put a Tensei Raw Blue Hybrid shaft into the TSi1 (same shaft I have in the TSi2 5 hybrid) will it be a better fairway wood replacement? Or buy the TSi2 4 hybrid? Thanks

Just got the G425 Max with Tensei Raw Orange 55 gram. Very solid and went with a regular stiffness.

Thanks appreciate it.

Thanks I have the Tensei Orange Raw 55 gram R shaft with a 26 gram weight. It's a bit heavy compared to the Callaway and TM i tried in the store, but had best consistency in play but shorter.

I have a G425 max driver and want to get more distance ( MOI is great). I noticed on TXG, they used a 7 gram weight in the G425 LST and got much greater distance. Any thoughts on what a lighter weight will do in the Max?

Decided to go TP5X thanks for the input.

Thanks

I found a TP5X and played it until I lost it the other day. I liked it and went to the store where they have a special to buy 3 get on free. They know me at the store and said I would be better with the standard TP5 as my swing speed being under 95 MPH could get more from the softer ball. I need to make a choice and wont have a chance to buy a sleeve of each as the sale is over today. I could use all the distance I can get so need to make the right choice. Thanks for your input.

Thanks good article.

Just picked up at Roger Dunn (have 90 day return) a S62 watch. I used it once and really like it. I saw the new Garmin release of the S42 and for $200 less looks like the same watch. Any thoughts and have any one tried both?

Thanks!!!

210 G425 carry 220ish for Speed and RAD.

Thanks everyone for your help. Another idea?? What if I get a lighter back weight for the G425, would that get more speed for more distance and keep the solid MOI of the Ping?

Thanks all the commented. You have given me a better appreciation for the club.

Thanks about 10 yards shorter on average with roll and Ping dispersion was tighter groupings with TSI2 2nd. Thanks

I recently purchased the G425 Max 10.5 with Tensei Orange 55 shaft. It worked well against all the others in my fitting. The only downside was the distance being shorter than the TM, Callaway and Titleist. The consistency was the best however. Now that I have it on the course I am second guessing myself and wonder if a longer not as accurate driver is better for me? I am a high handicapper and need all I can get. Also other than a few Youtubers, the club has not been well liked. Appreciate your thoughts.

I have hit the G400 Max, owned the G410 Plus and am looking to upgrade to the G425 max. I would say the difference for me is the shaft. I really like the Tensei Orange Raw 55 shaft offered with the new model. If money is an issue, not much difference in the 3 heads.

Ping should just release the G425 series as they have in Asia and Australia. I am waiting on a driver and really like the G410 and have heard the G425 has better MOI and graphics.

Thanks all appreciate the feedback.

I am a high handicapper that can't hit a driver. I do well with my 3 wood and have been thinking about a smaller driver, i.e. TS4. However, most smaller heads are for better players. Would getting a TS4 head and use a lighter shaft., i.e. Kuro Kage work. I did try hitting it at Roger Dunn store, but they only had the Hazardous shaft, which was too heavy. Any suggestions? Thanks

I like the hybrids a lot. Very fast and sounds strong.

Anyone playing the new XXIO Black X fairway woods? I play the hybrid and it is solid and fast. Thanks

Thanks gonna get the charcoal one.
