The new Ping G425 driver has been getting rave reviews but just what difference, if any, does the back weight really make? Ping claim that it can help you draw driver, fade driver or hit driver straight depending where you position the weight. In this video Ali will test it out on Trackman to show you if Ping deliver on their promise.

You tend to draw the ball sometimes quite a bit. I would like to see a video with the Ping G425 where you compare the differences between moving the weight to the fade side, reducing the loft by 1 or 1.5 degrees to open the face, and utilizing the flat setting on the hosel. Perhaps even a combination of one or more above.
It is so great to get the perspective of a player that draws the ball. we are not all slicers! This is a very helpful video! I'm going to try fade bias and increase the loft on my G425 today.
Perfect!! The only video that actually compared moving the weight. Was looking at the SFT and MAX to compare their draw bias, but they never moved the MAX wt. to the draw bias. Exactly what I wanted to know - if adjusting the MAX to the draw bias, would it be basically a SFT. But if there is a draw bias in the SFT club, then it should draw more.
The two drivers cannot compare to each other... with the Max set in its draw position... does not even come close to the SFT for a draw... two different animals... It's virtually impossible to fade the SFT
*Ball hooks 10 yards left of the fairway*
Ali - “Little bit of a drawy one” 😂
Love the videos Ali keep it up!
today bought a driver thank you ill check on the adjustments well done and thank you
I had a major problem slicing with a tailor-made M2 changed to this driver instantly stopped slicing and now have the straightest drives I’ve ever hit.
Did you move the slider weight??
I have the G425 Max and the G410 Plus, both in 9 degrees. The 410 sits more open at address and has a more neutral flight for me. I set it up with weight in the toe to facilitate my preferred power fade. With the 425, which I also have in the bag, I set it up neutral and it wants to got slightly right to left. When I put the weight in the heel, it's Pull City. But with the neutral setup it's a nice center to center-draw flight. (Also, FWIW, the 410 sounds/feels WAY better than the 425. I'm fine with the 425 -- it's not a deal-breaker for me -- but it is noticeably clankier than the 410 Plus).
I am curious to see what the impact of the flat lie setting would do. I have a left miss like you and would like to know if a flatter lie would help combat that.
Just bought the driver used it twice and notice I’m hitting it left a lot more than my original driver, it is going quite a bit further as well. So thanks for the video too I will try moving the weight towards the toe. Thanks again for a very informative video

What would happen if I put a heavier weight in the draw setting of my G410 ? My strikes tend to be low heel. I use a pink constant height tee.
Hello I am a G410 LST holder and my 31 handicap managed to hit a 264 yd + carry with 107mps club speed in December. However, I can noble the presentation, 43 "shaft size and the ball remained on the center line. With a different brand shaft and 44" length, unfortunately, I could never reach both slice and the same distances .. So the specification of Shaft affects as much as the driver head. In other words, the amount and direction of the heel weight added to the driver's head is not as effective as the feature of the shaft. Because, in both experiments, 5.5gr heel weight was in the center.
I had mine on the neutral setting today 9° 425, most of the time polled think I’m gonna try the fade setting
I've just been for a fitting for the driver and irons, shall be collecting them next week so will ask them about the position of the weight. Think mine will be towards the toe as well.
Great informativ Video 👍
I can't tell anything from this, because the few times you hit the sweet spot it was actually pretty good ball flight. I would put the weight back in the center and get to where I was hitting it in the nut every time and go from there. I have a friend who consistently hits his g30 on the toe, so he sets up on one of the inside turbulators and nuts it almost every time.
its your club path, not the driver weight making you go left, lack of space in the studio making you swing left!
Why do you think my path is left?
Since all driver strikes were toward the toe of the club, why not get about 3/8 of an inch closer to the golf ball?
no kidding!... I told him the same thing... poor strikes on almost all balls... in fact I didn't see one in the sweet spot!
you should try flatten the lie angel to move your strik up a bit
Just bought this driver & it’s ridiculously forgiving & long. The best driver I’ve had. Upgraded from G410. I tried the LST I’m a cat 1 golfer & very it’s long but not forgiving. The Max is the ultimate fairway Finder. Tour player use the Max because of it forgiveness & even they say it’s the most forgiving driver ever. Get it bought guys.
But my Misses most time today were kind of high fades so I may try that draw setting Thursday
I don’t know if I’d call most of the ball flights at the beginning with the weight in the middle a draw. That’s a snap hook my man.
Just watched video and your feet are not square to target your back foot looks a couple inches back of front foot. This causes an inside path to ball and a more tor hit. Square you're feet up and test again.
Really the problem was that you couldn't find the middle of the face...If you did it would be more meaningful...
That Toe being directly in the air and a 45 1/2 inch driver shaft is why those balls go left not that weight 🙄
Yes but every hit was more towards the toe .... I'd think your alignment need to get closer to the ball
get the center of the club .... I have noticed this for the last couple of videos
Just my thought.. it looks like he moves back and front towards the ball every other shot.. I’m a mid hcp and even I could predict when the ball flight would go straight or to the left
I think an x-flex driver shaft would be a perfect fit with this club?
Tried the difference between the draw setting on the Max and the SFT... The SFT was an 80 yard draw where the max in the draw setting is only about a 10 yard draw - no comparison if you ask me.
Can you lower the weight , say to 9 g how would that effect my swing
When you hit every shot on the toe you can't really judge the driver, that's a you issue.
Interesting results from moving the position of the weight showing it's not a sure fix.
Nice to see the walls have been painted, doesn't look like a dungeon anymore.
Thanks
I’d be interested in seeing the weight from the MAX being swapped out for the LST weight. Does that make it a slightly more forgiving model of the LST?
I’ve been thinking this exact same thing....any ideas? I know you can buy the weights online
Lots of draws. No matter what setting. I have this driver in the G430. Starting to make adjustments trying to find some benefit.
I love all the haters in the comments saying ali is terrible and why do you need three drivers in the set...... I think ping engineers are some of the best in the business. I think the max is the best driver since g400 and M2 gold
Very helpful video, thanks Ali. I’m a slicer but would be more inclined to go for the Max in the draw position that the SFT, for the very reason you mentioned. The Max should be a more versatile and future proof driver...and at £450 I need it to be!
£399 online
I think, only thrice, did you hit it near center, feet lined up for draw mostly. Grab the tee or curse the slice. If your a slicer, Itll go right.
You seemed to hit everything out of the toe. What would happen if you caught the centre of the club or heel?
He just isn't that good of a player.
With your swing, obviously the weight ought to be in the toe. Mine would be the opposite.
What would happen if you took the tungsten weight out of the driver?
Mine fell out on the G400 LST and my spin rate went up significantly; had to send back for repair. It is a substantial amount of weight!
Why not just strike better for a more consistent reference? Why so many toe strikes?
Fitted today Max vs SFT at local range…I’m 23.5 HC, 1 year starting to play golf…..I tend to push/fade/slices with my previous Titleist 915 D3 A2 Setting..with A3 setting (I tend to hit straight and a little draw)……with Max Draw Setting, I tend to hit solid straight and draw, there was 1-2 fades but not too bad….with SFT…at the range I tend to hit it straight and hard pull/hook, but still feel great even not as great as the Max…
The strange thing was…when fitted at simulator pro shop, I tend to hit draw the Max Draw Setting, but push/fade with SFT…. To be noted the tee height in the local fitter simulator is a little too short, so I don’t think my swing were optimum back then….but I knew my swing were just fine at the range……I ended up buying the Max 10.5 R Flex replacing my Titleist 915 D3 which I feel like night and day…..tested 8 drivers today from some respected brands (Titleist, Taylormade, Honma, Yamaha, Bridgestone and PING)…but I do think PING G425 Max is the best from those I tested and definitely the one for my game….Even I’m a natural slicer, but I didn’t pick the SFT because I believe I could do better swing in time….so I can move back the setting to Neutral or Fade… ..can’t wait to test this on a course this weekend.
Back to the question on movable weight…does it work? Yes it does. Big Time!
Just bad ball strikes period! Not the club
What happens without the weight
Nothing.
Tried to watch the video.... Damn brotha, get to the point! I'm interested but my time is valuable too.
When people going to figure out most amateurs hold the club so tight that moving weights around will never work....
It adds $100 to the price for a 50c piece of tin under the guise of "adjustability". Ive tried all settings and none can cover a bad swing or hit...
I appreciate the video but why in the world would you not adjust to stop hitting the ball on the toe!?
I'll stick to my G400 driver.. The best
If changeable weights in a driver had such a dramatic effect they wouldn’t need 3 models! They change CG but not swing path. Imagine PING launching their new driver with fixed hosel and no adjustment. Marketing world be fired.
I'm not a believer of moving the weights. Can't believe you don't carry the ball further with that ball speed and smash fac.... studio looks better in white.. but need to sack the decorator (paint on carpet) great video
Maybe the white walls made the ball go left!
😂😂😂 maybe
8 minutes into your video and you have not hit one ball in the sweet spot of the club... every ball has been towards the toe... I think you need to readjust your stance closer.
You need about a 40 gram back weight set in the toe?
A 15 mins video that could easily have taken 5, less waffle please!
What's the point of a club test by a bloke who hooks the ball badly?
Not everyone hits the ball perfectly like you obviously 😂😂
Horrible swing.
My guy, stand closer to to ball. Every shot you had was off the toe.
Hahahaha you're just a really bad golfer. Those first 4 were snap hooks with the most forgiving driver out there 😂😂
Go to lessons with Ali guys 😬
YES
Horrible sound like the first Callaway
