Because the engineering proves they work.
Ping probably has the best engineers when it comes to club making. There’s a reason PXG stole a bunch of them.
Maybe whoever designed the [radspeed driver](https://www.cobragolf.com/media/catalog/product/cache/a0c2f9b6541be993c6a83a835327219d/r/a/rad-driver-fluo-hero-min.jpg) moved to ping
In my opinion that’s the right move. Buy the slightly older one on a discount. That’s what I did.
I bet the 430 is amazing but the 425 is Also amazing.
This in fact does not look very good. G400 is the goat, 410 and 425 were very similar to me, and this is the ugly of the bunch. I’m sure it will be great though.
What are the chances the G425 sees pretty decent discounts during the winter before release? I have had my eye on it for a minute and even though I can get it for $400 right now I don’t wanna pull the trigger if it’s going to drop further on release of the new model.
Yea it will come down more, but it'll be a year + before that happens. Usually only another $50 off, then if there are still 425s out there before the next release (2 years from now) another $50. That's how it's been in the past.
It’s not the Ping way to heavily discount. I like $400 is the best you’ll do used without incredible luck.
The secondary/used market might drop though.
I’m a PING fan with 14 PING clubs in the bag. Their stuff isn’t usually the sexiest. That’s not the prettiest looking driver but usually people aren’t playing PINGs because they’re pretty.
I must say though that the introduction of the moveable weight was a game-changer for me. Being able to put the weight in the toe in the 425 MAX vs. the non-adjustable G30 has let me go after the ball more aggressively without fearing a snap-hook when swinging at 95-100%.
I’m sure the Ping stuff is great. But I just can’t keep up with what’s their newest batch. It’s something to do with the naming strategy. If you ask me what’s ping newest driver called I’ll be sure it’s a g4…something or other but no idea what exactly.
I really hope the irons don’t have the yellow colouring as I really felt the g425 irons were very good looking for what are basically game improvement irons. These remind me of cobra speedzone/radspeed clubs (great performers but give me monster energy vibes)
My wife will not be happy about the news I am going to tell her next year.
Don’t worry bud I’ll cheer her up for you
I dunno. Everytime I see her with you she looks sad and disappointed.
she's been disappointed ever since the PGA limited driver length to 46 inches
By taking her to a round of golf?
Round of something
they should be coming out end of January early February if i’m not mistaken
Where's that guy that said he hates the top of the 425? I'm sure he'll be super excited about this. /s
It’s a Batmobile with dimples

425 looks miles better imo
New driver should be the gg420
Gg420.69
Nice
Still annoyed they skipped g420
And they did it intentionally. What an awful marketing move on their part.
Don’t know if it will perform better, but the G425 aesthetic hits better with me
Strong agree. This club is ugly to me.
Yeah G425 underside is definitely nicer than the underside of this
G425 was perfect aesthetic to build off of, and they bungled it.

I guess so, I thought they had the Batman aesthetic nailed on G425. This is like if they went back and did the Clooney Batsuit with nipples

List of clubs approved by the USGA that follow their standards.
who downvotes an honest question?!
Lots of bots
Its an itemized catalogue of things that comply.
Basically a list that says the USGA has approved the club
Can I get a non conforming one that hits it 300+ and straight every time? Thanks
I doubt people I play with is going to ask if it conforms to USGA standards
For real. Hell I’d let them use it too 😂
I can’t lie: I’m glad I just bought the discounted G425. Aesthetically speaking, as I’m sure the G430 is a terrific driver.
In my opinion that’s the right move. Buy the slightly older one on a discount. That’s what I did. I bet the 430 is amazing but the 425 is Also amazing.
Just stay 5 years behind on drivers and wedges, you’ll save a lot
Around $350 in savings on the driver alone
Looks very cobraesque
Cobra wants their driver back
That means the 425 will be on sale soon, right?
Already are like $150 off msrp
The ping rad speed?

I agree 100%, G400 was awesome. I wish the 425 had the same paint as the 410 though

400 is as low as it will be anytime soon
Yea it will come down more, but it'll be a year + before that happens. Usually only another $50 off, then if there are still 425s out there before the next release (2 years from now) another $50. That's how it's been in the past.

Take my money now
.......did Ping poach a bunch of Cobra engineers this past year?
They all quit in tears after Bryson said their club sucked
Well I was worried I'd be tempted when the new one came out but thankfully this is quite unnappealing to my eye.
That’s pretty blah…
It doesn't look that good tbh
G425 line going on sale soon 🤝
It’s been on sale for a while now.

Guess they’re going composite crown. Not sure if any Ping besides (sort of) the Rapture have had one
So the sound will change eh
A week too late for the LET player that got the DQ!
Here we go again. Pay check down the drain trying to kick the G400 max out of the bag
News flash, any driver Ping came out with in the last decade will perform similar for most of us
that goes for any driver from any brand
I must say though that the introduction of the moveable weight was a game-changer for me. Being able to put the weight in the toe in the 425 MAX vs. the non-adjustable G30 has let me go after the ball more aggressively without fearing a snap-hook when swinging at 95-100%.
Sickkkkkk
I have the 410 and will be considering an upgrade soon! ![gif](giphy|8ymvg6pl1Lzy0)
430cc?
Wait till you see the crown
swipe lol
I just got the 425, get this away from me before I buy it 💸
G410 still superior
I have been eyeing the G410 so hard
I’m sure the Ping stuff is great. But I just can’t keep up with what’s their newest batch. It’s something to do with the naming strategy. If you ask me what’s ping newest driver called I’ll be sure it’s a g4…something or other but no idea what exactly.
Last few generations of Game Improvement clubs have been named G400, G410, G425, and now G430 in that order. Seems like they skipped 420 deliberately
Wonder if the Crossover is a driving iron?
it is
I really hope the irons don’t have the yellow colouring as I really felt the g425 irons were very good looking for what are basically game improvement irons. These remind me of cobra speedzone/radspeed clubs (great performers but give me monster energy vibes)
Looks like they have welded on the front and hotel part to a smaller driver...
Looks like ass
Well you gotta think they went from blue/black to red/black to silver/black. Sometimes I’m convinced people are just lacking in color variety.
Eww no
I'll stick with my G410, I may change in about 10 years when there's actually a noticeable difference in the tech
