Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks86
- Feel84
- Sound84
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing it fast, spin the ball too much, and want lower spin and more distance without losing much forgiveness.
You need help launching the ball or want maximum forgiveness — the G425 Max suits you better.
Pros
- Low spin and real distance for a fast swing, without a big drop in forgiveness
- Stability to rival a dedicated forgiveness head, in a compact tour body
- A double Golf Digest Hot List Gold winner, with bias adjustability
Cons
- Low spin suits fast swings — most golfers are better on the Max
- A lower, penetrating flight isn't for everyone
- The crown turbulators divide opinion
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongRemarkably steady for a low-spin head — it holds a mishit's line like few tour heads can, so you needn't be a top player to hit it.
Distance
StrongReal distance from low spin — a lower, more boring flight that runs out, for a fast, clean swing.
Workability
SolidA compact, tour-leaning 445cc head — a three-way movable weight sets your bias, with enough shape for a good player.
Feel
ExcellentA lively, forged strike — the thin face flexes for a satisfying, solid hit through the ball.
Sound
ExcellentA clean, agreeable note at impact — an internal rib settling the ring of the titanium body.
Looks at address
ExcellentA classic, compact, softly rounded shape — smaller and more old-school than the big Max, topped by the familiar speed ridges.
