Haha guys! I’m fine - was just a little unwell during shooting, which you can probably tell by the sound of me, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me!
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Brayden Luciano thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The review should focus on a head to head between the 410 and the 425. This would help current 410 users and those looking to convert to Ping (as 410s will now become cheaper off the shelves). Great swing Alex!
I was fitted last Friday for a G410 driver, Ping are telling me the 425 won't be out in the UK till next year, I can't imagine there will be a huge jump in performance..........or is there?
So the G400 Max was never replaced in the G410 series. That still had a higher MOI than the G410 Plus. The G425 Max replaces the G400 Max. It has an additional 16 yards of slice correction than the G400 Max did.
I just had a fitting from my local driving range in Darwin in The Northern Territory Of Australia of the G425. I brought one and love it. I just need to wait until it gets delivered then I will give it a great workout.
Between covid and having 3 kids all under 5yo I couldn't get on the golf course for 10 months so I spent 5,000$ on a skytrak and making a simulator room and have kept my handicap at +1... was +1.8 before covid
How do you feel the 425 LST compares to the 410 LST? I just got the 410 LST earlier this season, and I feel like improvement off of an already great driver would be hard to achieve...
Big Al, what are you tryin to do to me. I need to get up @ 3.30am for a long work day. Now you going to make me stay up till 9.30 to watch this. Will be worth it but I will be cursing you out when I'm struggling tomorrow. Bring it!!!
Funny thing is I took mine out on the range for the first time today and after three shots the bloke next to me asked what I was hitting because it sounded so different! Aside from the sound what a great driver all round!
Had a hit with one of these this afternoon (max for this golfing gumby) First ping g driver i have ever hit and i liked it alot. I suspect the treasurer is not going to ok it in the budget though 😪
Still with you. The biggest endorsement for these is the fact that you had difficulty in hitting your shape shoots anything other than straight. They do look stealthy.
My g400 max hosel cracked. Back at Ping. Been waiting for this driver to be released. Ping usually just replace the driver. I didn’t like the g410 so hopefully they will replace with this Max. Somehow I doubt it. Al. When is the release date? Are you getting the new irons to test as well. Hi from rainy Scotland.
Love that Ping what do the head covers look like? also is it louder then the G400MAX and G410 plus or is it jus the studio. Well done! can't wait for a demo out on the course.
G400 is a good looking rooster with the gold shaft but the G425 may now be the prince of the prom. I like the matt black top living in Oz where glare can be a problem..and thumbs up to the turbulators as it stands out in the crowd of plain..and offers downward pressure to prevent topping (maybe)..
Awesome job big man!!! Some shapes some bombs what more can you ask for!!! I think we have a golfer out there!!! One semi stupid question at what point would you consider a 12 degree driver ,, not sure I understand that loft,, higher but shorter distance??? No clue ,, ty again perfect !!!
It can't be a coincidence that every manufacturer can gain MOI on their new driver every 10 months. My guess is the R and D teams built 10 high MOI heads and chose the one with the lowest MOU and every yiiear they pick the next design in line.
I think head design and shaft design are constantly evolving. Both contribute to MOI. If a golf company could release a product that was miles ahead of their competition, they would certainly do so.
Another great review Al,I’ve read that these are only available in Australia and Asia for now.The sound remains me of my old Callaway FT 3 Fusion driver which by the way was a great driver but loud.
Quick question do you know if the standard shaft sc55grams is still 1\2in longer , as I had ordered the g410 lst with it and have been told by ping that its no longer avabile so will be ordering the new 425 lst and need the shaft 1/2 longer? Cheers mate
I am a high HC player, struggling with slicing with Driver (actually not just driver, but with fairway Wood as well but they are not as bad as Driver..) I have a huge interest on those new Ping G425 models and which one would be recommended for the player like me.
Thanks Richard. Nobody else can tell you what it’s going to be like for you. The only that is achieved is through a fitting! So many different factors with this - looks alone could put someone off or make them hit the best shots!
Love the look of the Drivers and fairway woods / hybrids. But slightly disappointed with the look of the G425 irons. I was so hoping that they would look like a cross between the i500 and G710 irons. They look ok, but just not what I was hoping for...
Best sounding driver on the market and will be top3 in ball speed.... the g410 is STILL THE NUMBER 1 ALL AROUND DRIVER ON THE MARKET ACCORDING TO ROBOT TESTING
Not hitting the ball well. Brother you just hit 3 drivers , multiple times, + 300 yards on the green or directly over the green... To quote Arnold from the sitcom different strokes..”What you talking about Willis!?” :)
Hey Al, great video as always, I’m after a bit of advice. I’m a draw player as well (sometimes a blocker), I have a Callaway Rogue and I’d like to upgrade. Any ideas on a good replacement. My driver speed is more around 100 - 105 mph, wish I could bloody hit it like you mate. Doesn’t have to be Ping either.
went to a Ping fitting a while back to test the new drivers against my G20. The rep looked at all the numbers and told me to save my $400 and keep hitting the G20.
I tried my friend's 410 SFT even though I don't slice a ball. It went out 150 yards, turned hard left, came back past us and landed on the previous green. Not for me. Because its so loud, we didn't hear the sceams as it landed.
Haha guys! I’m fine - was just a little unwell during shooting, which you can probably tell by the sound of me, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me!
Alex, you talk like you are a high handicapped player. But I feel you are the best utube player along with Matt!

Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Holds 4 fingers up while stating 3 new clubs to review.... Love it
What shafts came with each?? Looked like Tensi range in the MAX, but what was in the LST? They look gooooooodddd
I would love to hear your impression versus the previous versions of Ping drivers, G410, G400.... is it worth the upgrade versus the G400?
The review should focus on a head to head between the 410 and the 425. This would help current 410 users and those looking to convert to Ping (as 410s will now become cheaper off the shelves).

@@maxmclean6910 The G410 plus
bought the g425 max 10.5 deg with reg shaft 55g. Im a 13 handicap and love it! Best driver ive had for 10yrs (replaced my 917f2)
So the turbulators are still on the drivers but they dropped them from the fairways and hybrids (I think)?🤔
I just had a fitting from my local driving range in Darwin in The Northern Territory Of Australia of the G425. I brought one and love it. I just need to wait until it gets delivered then I will give it a great workout.
Awesome.. Means the G410 will go on special at GolfBox
My thoughts exactly... seeing they just put them down to $399 tho
Enjoyed the demonstrations on the Ping Drivers 425 Max...LST....SFT...outstanding.
Tested the G425 the other day wow.also a few hybrids and irons. Huge update for me soon. Real soon. Just ordered
Picked up a Taylormade M5 but does anyone have information on when ping will be bringing these to market...asking for a friend...
Between covid and having 3 kids all under 5yo I couldn't get on the golf course for 10 months so I spent 5,000$ on a skytrak and making a simulator room and have kept my handicap at +1... was +1.8 before covid
I LOVE TURBULATORS! Seriously. I love looking down at my Ping with the matte finish and Batmobile wings.
How do you feel the 425 LST compares to the 410 LST? I just got the 410 LST earlier this season, and I feel like improvement off of an already great driver would be hard to achieve...
Great video Al - thanks. Did you play the same shaft throughout? Tensei Orange early on it seemed...?
Loved playing holes with the drivers!
Six seconds in and Alex is so excited his fingers don't work properly. Love it!
My new favorite channel! Congrats on the exclusive and fantastic first impressions, keep it up Alex.
what shaft were you using, Al?
It was a mitsubishi tensie orange from the looks mate
Big Al, what are you tryin to do to me. I need to get up @ 3.30am for a long work day. Now you going to make me stay up till 9.30 to watch this. Will be worth it but I will be cursing you out when I'm struggling tomorrow. Bring it!!!
Second that... Gilly
Congrats on the early access :-) Ping drivers always do what they say they will do.
Funny thing is I took mine out on the range for the first time today and after three shots the bloke next to me asked what I was hitting because it sounded so different! Aside from the sound what a great driver all round!
Can you please do a comparison to the G410 and then to Sim, Mavrik cheers
Absolutely love the looks of those! Love to see you with the early access. Thanks for everything you provide to us!
Awesome to see you getting new clubs to review before anyone else!! TXG should be jealous lol
Ping know where to release first...when product runs low.
bought the LST and absolutely love it! great video!
What are the weights of rear tungsten replacement weights available for changing swing weight due lighter/heavier shafts and grip weights?
I hit 4 drives today on course that were 338,327,322,314 with my 2017 m1...shot 73 and went bogey bogey bogey to start back 9
Does the shaft still have the option of a FLAT setting?
Had a hit with one of these this afternoon (max for this golfing gumby) First ping g driver i have ever hit and i liked it alot. I suspect the treasurer is not going to ok it in the budget though 😪
so based on your performance. is it better for you to use 9 deg or 10.5 deg??
Are there any drivers as forgiving and straight as ping that dont sound like a batting cage?
how does this compare to the Maverick sub zero ?
How's this LST compare to the G400? May have to look into that
I just ordered a g410 is it worth waiting for these? Do you we have a release date?
Still with you. The biggest endorsement for these is the fact that you had difficulty in hitting your shape shoots anything other than straight. They do look stealthy.
So 425LST vs 410LST? does the 425 feel any better?
what driver would you chose to compare it to a Cobra Max Speedzone? Not terribly a fan of a big club head.
My g400 max hosel cracked. Back at Ping. Been waiting for this driver to be released. Ping usually just replace the driver. I didn’t like the g410 so hopefully they will replace with this Max. Somehow I doubt it. Al. When is the release date? Are you getting the new irons to test as well. Hi from rainy Scotland.
My wife's G400 hosel broke, they sent a new G400 back, about 10 months ago, but the G410's were out then.
Paul Milsom received new one yesterday
@@gordon4761 G400?
Paul Milsom g400 max
Afternoon Al, is there much difference from the G400 max and G410 +?
Still with you
Test them against the 410, I was fitted on Friday for the 410 plus, 425 not out in the UK until next year?
Love that Ping what do the head covers look like? also is it louder then the G400MAX and G410 plus or is it jus the studio. Well done! can't wait for a demo out on the course.
Wish you would have shown the full adapter. Is that back to the older G400 style? Or still the G410 style?
Still g410 style
Paul Milsom then why does Al say it’s a 5 way then? The 5 way was the G400.
@@Lew-Dogg this is where I saw the adapter info th-cam.com/video/QvEWKSbHSII/w-d-xo.html
G400 is a good looking rooster with the gold shaft but the G425 may now be the prince of the prom. I like the matt black top living in Oz where glare can be a problem..and thumbs up to the turbulators as it stands out in the crowd of plain..and offers downward pressure to prevent topping (maybe)..
Hi Alex. Honest opinion? Is this G425 any better than the G410?
I agree with you Alex regarding the aesthetics pf the Ping Driver but I prefer the SFT
Al at what speed do you think we need to swing the club to go "LST".
Nice work for not felling good mate ,what shaft are you using for the review and greetings from orlando Florida
Awesome job big man!!! Some shapes some bombs what more can you ask for!!! I think we have a golfer out there!!! One semi stupid question at what point would you consider a 12 degree driver ,, not sure I understand that loft,, higher but shorter distance??? No clue ,, ty again perfect !!!

what about comparing the numbers on the models?
Thinking on switching to mizuno. I’m a ping user but find that I’m inconsistent with them on the course.
"Showing your age?" really? My first driver was laminated wood with an insert that had screws in it. I hated that thing.
LOL me too Julia, AND it had a steel shaft!. Al wasn't even born when I got my first driver. "Showing your age"? Ha!
Saw these in person and they are 🔥
Another great review Al,I’ve read that these are only available in Australia and Asia for now.The sound remains me of my old Callaway FT 3 Fusion driver which by the way was a great driver but loud.
Are the heads still a heavy head
Still with you...good drivers Ping just makes great drivers year after year.
Love Ping Drivers the G400 Max is so easy to hit!
Quick question do you know if the standard shaft sc55grams is still 1\2in longer , as I had ordered the g410 lst with it and have been told by ping that its no longer avabile so will be ordering the new 425 lst and need the shaft 1/2 longer? Cheers mate
Have they released the embargo yet? The ping rep where I live won’t even show me a pic of these yet.
I am a high HC player, struggling with slicing with Driver (actually not just driver, but with fairway Wood as well but they are not as bad as Driver..) I have a huge interest on those new Ping G425 models and which one would be recommended for the player like me.
Currently in the market for a shaft for my G410 but looks like I'll be waiting for these to launch
Yes agreed on the looks. Way better than last years red and black.
Another fun video! Loving the background music! Great taste Al!
Thanks Bob!
not a Ping fan but those drivers look to perform well. I bet I can still slice that SFT driver though.
I ordered a G410 about a month ago, this blow it out of the water or is it just a refresh in your opinion? Great vid as usual!
Really liking the new format, playing a few holes during the reviews. Well done sir 👏🏻👏🏻
I want want want how much will these cost at golf support Al
Hiya mate great video 👍 I’m a 7 handicap looking at the 921 tours and the P7MC, good iron player which would you recommend more 😊
Great video and great looking driver set, that LST looks fab.
Those drivers look SWEET!!
I'm so looking forward to these Bad Boys being released in the UK (I'm always partial to a PING Driver)and the G425 looks damn sexy!
Man, I thought my G410+ was loud. That thing sounds like a Concord passing overhead at super sonic ...BOOM!
Well done you for hitting them so well, but what does that mean for joe average ? Better than the 410 ? no comparison to competitors?
Thanks Richard. Nobody else can tell you what it’s going to be like for you. The only that is achieved is through a fitting!
So many different factors with this - looks alone could put someone off or make them hit the best shots!
What is the price for these drivers
Love the look of the Drivers and fairway woods / hybrids. But slightly disappointed with the look of the G425 irons. I was so hoping that they would look like a cross between the i500 and G710 irons.
They look ok, but just not what I was hoping for...
Love your videos as always, most fun golf channel out there keep it up!
Thanks so much, Sam!
1:04 I thought that was TXG, or are they MORE TO THE RIGHT???
I’m still using the G2....... love it......but the G425 looks like my next!
So what is the best anti slice driver coming out this year???? GO!
Best sounding driver on the market and will be top3 in ball speed.... the g410 is STILL THE NUMBER 1 ALL AROUND DRIVER ON THE MARKET ACCORDING TO ROBOT TESTING
Not hitting the ball well. Brother you just hit 3 drivers , multiple times, + 300 yards on the green or directly over the green... To quote Arnold from the sitcom different strokes..”What you talking about Willis!?” :)

When he says “LaSuhTuh” 😂😂
What a looker!!! Hitting that one for sure...
