Thanks for all the amazing feedback on this review everyone - great to see so many golfers enjoying our videos so far in 2021. Remember you can see the full written review of of the PING G425 irons here: bit.ly/PingG425IronsRvwGA as well of our other Golfalot equipment reviews.
A year and 3 months have passed since this video and these clubs are still flying off the shelves. I was so impressed with the driver and hybrid 425's that I just bought the irons. Cant wait to receive them.
I appreciate your candor and leaving out all of the distance hype, consistency is more important. In addition, the comment about the faces of the short irons is important, it's why many better golfers switch to non-matched set wedges to get the better grooves. It appears that Ping continues to improve both objective and subjective areas of golf equipment without all the hype. Thanks again for an honest assessment.
Hey Jim, thanks for getting in touch with the feedback. We try to be as honest and impartial with our reviews as possible. Golf is not all about distance - especially at amateur level. Please make sure you're subscribed to our channel to see more content throughout 2021!
Sophie, best reviewer on the web for 10 and up handicap players. The points that you address are so on target with what a player of that hdc should be paying attention to. Launch in long irons and control and feel in the short ones. Better players already know all that. Well done!
This was an awesome review! You approached it from the level of all golfers and didn't talk over our heads. I've seen other reviews where they just kept saying, this is not a club that fits me but... Anyways, thanks for the great info!
I especially appreciate the info about the "knock down wedge" performance. Such an important aspect imo. Your reviews give valuable insight. Thank you!
Thanks for the great feedback Todd. The scoring part of the game is one of the most important! Please subscribe to our channel to see all new content first.
Really liked this review. The lady was actually really interested in reviewing the clubs and gave an honest opinion, than mostly using RUclips for her ego and own humour, which is something that's turning me off most review sites. James Robinson take note!
Hi ! Having now more time to golf compared to the previous six to eight rounds a year, I went and was fitted. As a couple of friend said my clubs X16’s were too short for me. I don’t know anything about the various manufacturers and their clubs / technology. Simply going by the guidance of the pro offering a variety of brands and what I was comfortable with, I selected the G425’s. I collected them this week and away to play later today. Your review is great - educational and enlightening - reviving the memories of what I learned as a kid. Thank you for your review and I’ll be looking at your other reviews on all other areas of the sport.
Excellent review. I just picked up my set of fitted G425s ( Driver - UW ). I'm a 13 hcap and love that i can actually stop the ball on the greens now. My old set were my father's set of Ping G20s ( graphite senior flex ). My new G425 irons are steel regular+.
Great review Sophie. I like your video content, especially out on course. I got fitted for these 2 days ago. Such a difference from my current set (30 year old Ping Zing 2) which were a family hand me down set and getting fitted I found my set 1 inch too short. New G425 set 4-PW will arrive end of Feb, i can't wait. So excited.
@@jordanebacher i have them 1.5years now. Played over 50 qualifying rounds and approx 150 other rounds. They are wonderful irons, very forgiving. I've also bought a 9degree g425 max driver, 7 wood g425 and 5 wood g430 since. My handicap dropped from 25 to 19.1. The g425 feel a heavier head compared to the zings. Great out of the rough. Stiff metal shaft, got jumbo grips as i wear xl gloves, big hands.
I enjoyed this review Sophie. Your swing speed and distances are more relatable to the handicap golfer that I am. Currently play the i25 but these new ones look the business. Very tempting.
I've just finished acquiring two Ping ironsets, the G425 and the 710, each in 7 thru GW. I upgraded grips on both to the WINN DriTac 2.0. Haven't had proper weather yet to compare them at the range yet, but can tell that the look and setup of each is very appealing. Can't wait to see if either is " hotter" than the other. Loved your vidi on the 425's, and will get back to you soon. 👍
Hi Sophie just bought the new ping 7 hybrid from the boys at Cleethorpes and it’s mega forgiving. The g 425 7 iron hits the same numbers at my 75 club head speed ! Hope this helps your viewers. Great review 👍
I'm a G fan !!! And if you want them Hotter I think they make a set that has stronger lofts. Like 7 Iron 30 deg and hotter set comes at 28.5 or 29. I'm not a 100% sure but I think I saw a review that talks about it.
Just got fitted today.. 4-5 week delivery ( bummer) it’ll be to cold to play em when they arrive.. I switched from TM M4 irons.. which IMHO are pretty hot.. my 7 iron was my go to 180 yd club.. before these I had ping zing 2 irons and my 7 was 150.. so big difference.. on tracman today the g425 7 iron average carry was 165.. so not as long as the M4… however like you said the sound is very nice, visually very nice.. so I’m looking forward to getting back into the ping family.. played the 425 driver this season and love it.. new subscriber now as well!
I watched my first Sophie video this evening and I was very impressed. You are an excellent reviewer and answered all of my questions regarding these irons. I currently game the G30 irons and this looks like a massive improvement in looks and I’m guessing .....feel and forgiveness. Thanks again for the very informative review! 😀
Great review Sophie! I like the more compact look, versus the G410s. One can also get these in the Power Spec lofts from Ping, which is about 2º stronger, I think. Distance would probably would be close to Mavrik/Sim Max territory at those lofts, I would think. Sharp looking irons, for sure. Glad they ditched the color and went with simple silver and black. You can always tell when a manufacturer is going for more of the "player's" market, because the color goes away.
Thanks for a very thorough review. I'm already tempted to try these when we get back playing. Wasn't keen on the 410 irons, these certainly look much better.
Just come across this channel and love it! Great honest reviews. In the market for a new driver this year so your reviews have helped me decide. One of the best channels out there - subscribed!
Thanks for the review Sophie. Have used G25s since their release and am looking for an upgrade. As soon as they become available I'll give them a demo.
Excellent review - watched a lot of videos (all guys) and you have a slightly different perspective - very helpful - must update my fitted clubs from 15 years ago - but so much choice ......!
Thanks for the great feedback Duncan. If you like what you see, make sure you subscribe to our channel to see all new equipment reviews first. There is loads out there. Our advice is always to do your research, speak to people you trust (your local pro) and get custom fitted.
Good review. What about the wide sole and relatively high vcog (vertical centre of gravity)? Perhaps needs to be noted as well as what handicap level they are aimed at. I.e more suited to someone who is a ‘digger’ or hits down on the ball. I know I’ve fallen foul of Ping irons in the past and don’t get on with them. Yes they are catered for my handicap but not my style of iron play. I’m a picker / sweeper and need a thinner sole and lower vcog. Just thought it was another key element to bear in mind when looking at these.
Getting fitted for these irons this coming Thursday. Playing the G425 Max driver and absolutely hit it great. Looking forward to the same with the 425 irons. Also adding the G425 fairway wood.
No worries! That's what we're here for - tell help you make better decisions on the golf equipment you buy. Make sure you're subscribed to our channel so you don't miss a thing.
I wanted to buy a set of G's, but the 400 and 410 series I found fugly. The 425 is a beautiful game improvement club, will be trying out when possible.
Good review. I know of a couple of my buddies that recently bought Pings' and they love them. I believe one got the G425. They said their game has improved quite a bit. One young buck hits the ball a mile bit I've always been able to beat him, but now he beats me 80% of the time. Anyways, good review so much so that I am tempted to take my 14 year old grandson to get fitted. Whether it be Ping, or some other brand but these look very inviting.
Great review Sophie. I enjoy your videos and content. Your tempo is phenomenal and I gain value from your numbers as they match close to mine. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to hitting the Ping G425s as I have gamed Callaway for the last few years.
Great review Sophie. I have a fitting booked in 2 weeks at my local driving range. I like the look of the irons and find hybrids very confidence inspiring. Was thinking of suggesting to the fitter about 8 to sw irons and 5,6,7 hybrids see what he thinks. By the way im a senior golfer so this type of set make up may suit me. Have you had any feed back on the higher lofted hybrids.
Thats a super good review.! Not only well performed, but informative and realy nice with the additional outdoor testing. Nice work there. Got me thinking about buying new irons.. =P
Happy New Year. Just bought some second hand Yonex irons that look very similar. Gaming AP1 for winter and keeping my AP2s for the better weather. Not totally convinced it makes a difference.
Fantastic review Sofie as usual thank you. I’m still playing the i25 and always loved them , these really give me a reason to change they look great hope they feel as good because the i25 felt great. Thanks again 👍😀
Great review Sophie. I've been using a set of i15s for nearly ten years. I'm playing off 10 Hcp but have played lower and looking to really start working on my game again. I was never a fan of the GI badged irons, yeah simply looked too unwieldy, but your review of these irons has changed my mind. I will take a serious look at them when I get fitted for new irons next week.
Thanks Darrin! Please make sure you are subscribed to our channel and spread the word to your golfing friends about Golfalot so more people get to see our content.
Hi Sophie Thanks for another great review, as stated elsewhere it good to see ball speed numbers that I can relate to. Could I ask why the iron review featured a 6 iron when on all your other reviews it has been a 7 iron ? Cheers Harry
Hi Harry, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. Great to hear you're enjoying the reviews - make sure you're subscribed to see more! Good question but there is no specific set of iron numbers for testing. We basically just get what the manufacturer sends us in the sample sets for that range. It causes a little confusion because each manufacturer differs in what they send sometimes.
It all depends on what you are looking for from a set of irons, but looks-wise I would say yes. They are offset, but not massive and the top line is thin enough.
i've had fitted ping i-25 irons for about 8 years and the only complaint i have about them is the added vibration damper on the back that are only glued on which i think is a poor design and seems like an after thought and they tend to fall off and then i have to glue them back on. do these G425 have anything like that added? you have a real solid looking swing and it's nice to watch.
went from rogue x to g425...loved my rogues but had the wrong shaft in it for me...went to a stiff 105 and boy, same distance if not more than my rogues.
@@GolfalotTV I was going to ask if you have tried graphite shafts on these and what your view was on graphite v steel for us oldies but from the other posts on here it looks like you don't reply to specific questions.
Hey, thanks for getting in touch. I would probably say the Callaway B21 irons are the most forgiving. My favorite, I would probably say the PING G425 as they are still forgiving bit also look and feel great.
Good review I'm looking to change my i23 irons and woods and was looking at the i200 but these look a nice option. Did you notice any gaps between the clubs due to the stronger lofts?
Hi Dickie, thanks for the feedback! Always worth getting fitted and comparing to your current irons in terms of gapping to see if there are any differences.
Hi Seve, thanks for great feedback - you can see both of our reviews of these clubs via Golfalot. B21 review: bit.ly/CallawayBBB21IronsRvw Cobra Radspeed review: bit.ly/CobraRadIronsRvw
Fab video Sophie I'm gaming the mavrik pro but as I'm ageing I'm wanting to go to a distance / forgiving iron. What are your thoughts on these as they look very good and sound pretty quiet. Also looking at wilson d9 if you have any thoughts on them Thank you
I think I may sell my g710's for these. The 710's are okay but they don't sound and feel that good and they seem so wide when addressing the ball. The 425's looking more compact may be a better fit for me.
Agreed.... I wish Ping would work on their accustics. G710 and G500 need a lot of work to soften sound. Calling the face a wood face is a bad excuse for not improving acoustics.
I liked the G710s as they packed a good punch but it's definitely worth trying to see the difference between them and the G425s as there are differences that may suit your game more.
Great video! Enjoying your content, keep up the good work! I’m currently playing a set of game improvement irons that are about 7 years old. Really liking the look and performance of these irons and looking to upgrade to these at some point. I’ve been playing for about a year, really enjoying the game and have joined my local club. I’m still developing my swing and learning the game, I’ve managed to break 100 once and am hovering about the 100-110 score usually. Just wanted to ask if you think I should take the plunge and buy these now (after lockdown) or maybe wait until the end of the year when I’m a bit more consistent so could have a more accurate custom fit? Thanks!
Hey Jack! Great to have you on-board with the beautiful game and watching our content. Hopefully we can help you improve further. The great thing about Ping clubs is that they are very easy to crank (alter loft and lie) as your swing changes - they also last forever and are very hard wearing so don't worry if your clubs need altering as you improve. I would say however that practice is always more important than new clubs. Good luck with your game Jack and make sure you're subscribed to our channel to see all future videos. Hope this helps!
gaming the G410s and happy with them. Interesting about the grooves on the wedges, I could switch out mine to the 425s, especially as i use glide 3.0 54 and 58 degrees
If I hear you correctly Sophie , you’re saying they are forgiving , smaller profile consistent distant golf irons and they look good too, add to that wedges that you really can game? Sounds like a pretty good offering to me, I play g410 and I 200 short irons, my delema is G425 or I210. What’s your take on the options here , I am an improving player with a higher handicap than my game through lack of competition play.
Hi Sophie... if you don't mind just curious. Since you play red dot what your height is ?? Did you have to cut the shaft down at all. I have found some of the fitters using the chart are all over the map.
@@sophiewalker2542 Thanks Sophie. Same height... 5'4" and red dot. I often feel I need to go flatter in wedges so thanks for that feedback! Been fitted several times over the years. You helped confirm why I feel that for me and my swing speed, I can learn more from you than 120+mph swing speed reviews :)

Would they be suitable for say a 5 hcap golfer. Great video again. 👍
It all depends on what you are looking for from a set of irons, but looks-wise I would say yes. They are offset, but not massive and the top line is thin enough.
Great review can you please tell me what ping shafts are equivalent to the ns pro 950gh stiff and ns neo please
KBS or LZ 5.5 bit of kick mid section.
I currently game the i500's....although I think it may be time to admit I need a bit more help....do you think these would be a good replacement?
Yes, they will certainly give you more help and forgiveness however they probably won't carry as far - the i500s are hot!
@@GolfalotTV thanks for replying. I don't mind giving up a few yards as long as the consistency and disparity are closer
Nice review. They look great !

Nice! Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the G425s compared to Mizuno’s JPX 921 Forged I’m currently playing when it comes to performance.
Hi Lena, you can see our full review of the Mizuno JPX921 Forged irons here: bit.ly/MizunoJPX921IronsRvw hope that helps
i've had fitted ping i-25 irons for about 8 years and the only complaint i have about them is the added vibration damper on the back that are only glued on which i think is a poor design and seems like an after thought and they tend to fall off and then i have to glue them back on. do these G425 have anything like that added? you have a real solid looking swing and it's nice to watch.
Calaway Apex and Ping G425 are good for more serious golfers who are lowering their handicap from high to mid.
What would you recommend as an improvement iron to gain or maintain distance for senior ladies? Chris
Hi Christine, check this video out and I think it might help ruclips.net/video/IPFDXVTP_Ds/видео.html
Love your reviews!! Informative and concise,
went from rogue x to g425...loved my rogues but had the wrong shaft in it for me...went to a stiff 105 and boy, same distance if not more than my rogues.
Nice common sense review, thanks. At 66 with an 18 handicap I am thinking hard about these clubs.
Thanks Tony - great news that you're a fan of the channel and looking at investing in some great new clubs.
@@GolfalotTV I was going to ask if you have tried graphite shafts on these and what your view was on graphite v steel for us oldies but from the other posts on here it looks like you don't reply to specific questions.
Hi Sophie, loving the channel..Which is more forgiving and your favorite among: ping 710,425 or Calloway b21 irons?
Hey, thanks for getting in touch. I would probably say the Callaway B21 irons are the most forgiving. My favorite, I would probably say the PING G425 as they are still forgiving bit also look and feel great.
@@GolfalotTV cool..What I like about ur channel the best is you are actually a golf pro....so you've been through the wars
Loving the look of these 😍
Look beautiful don't they Brian? Certainly an improvement on the G410 in that department.
Great, will try

Good review I'm looking to change my i23 irons and woods and was looking at the i200 but these look a nice option. Did you notice any gaps between the clubs due to the stronger lofts?
Hi Dickie, thanks for the feedback! Always worth getting fitted and comparing to your current irons in terms of gapping to see if there are any differences.
Great review how did these compare with Callaway B21, Cobra rad.? Im a senior playing off 24 on championship courses, many thanks!

Fab video Sophie I'm gaming the mavrik pro but as I'm ageing I'm wanting to go to a distance / forgiving iron. What are your thoughts on these as they look very good and sound pretty quiet. Also looking at wilson d9 if you have any thoughts on them Thank you
Mavrik pro are good irons. I’d stick with them for a few more years
@@sophiewalker2542 your not the first person to say that i will save my money in that case and Thank you for your reply
I think I may sell my g710's for these. The 710's are okay but they don't sound and feel that good and they seem so wide when addressing the ball. The 425's looking more compact may be a better fit for me.
Agreed.... I wish Ping would work on their accustics. G710 and G500 need a lot of work to soften sound. Calling the face a wood face is a bad excuse for not improving acoustics.
I liked the G710s as they packed a good punch but it's definitely worth trying to see the difference between them and the G425s as there are differences that may suit your game more.
Would you recommend the retro lofted version?
This was a great review. What is Pings players irons ?
Hi Ron, you're looking at a few options: iBlades, Blueprint blades, i120s and i500s are what you should be looking at.
Great video! Enjoying your content, keep up the good work!
I’m currently playing a set of game improvement irons that are about 7 years old. Really liking the look and performance of these irons and looking to upgrade to these at some point.
I’ve been playing for about a year, really enjoying the game and have joined my local club. I’m still developing my swing and learning the game, I’ve managed to break 100 once and am hovering about the 100-110 score usually.
Just wanted to ask if you think I should take the plunge and buy these now (after lockdown) or maybe wait until the end of the year when I’m a bit more consistent so could have a more accurate custom fit?
Thanks!
Hey Jack! Great to have you on-board with the beautiful game and watching our content. Hopefully we can help you improve further. The great thing about Ping clubs is that they are very easy to crank (alter loft and lie) as your swing changes - they also last forever and are very hard wearing so don't worry if your clubs need altering as you improve. I would say however that practice is always more important than new clubs. Good luck with your game Jack and make sure you're subscribed to our channel to see all future videos. Hope this helps!

Are these longer than the ping G710's ?
I didn't find them to be longer in my testing no. You can watch my G710 irons review here: ruclips.net/video/COxCrECqdMQ/видео.html
@@GolfalotTV Great, thanks.
You can get these irons in Power specs and they are very hot and long.

Great stuff Neil. Thanks for the comment! Loads more new content coming over the next few weeks... 👀
Thank you
gaming the G410s and happy with them. Interesting about the grooves on the wedges, I could switch out mine to the 425s, especially as i use glide 3.0 54 and 58 degrees
Sounds like a great shout gts golf!
Very good review thanks.
How do these compare to the callaway dcb?
How do these compare to the 710?
I would say they look a little smaller but are there for slightly less hot and not quite as forgiving.
If I hear you correctly Sophie , you’re saying they are forgiving , smaller profile consistent distant golf irons and they look good too, add to that wedges that you really can game? Sounds like a pretty good offering to me, I play g410 and I 200 short irons, my delema is G425 or I210.
What’s your take on the options here , I am an improving player with a higher handicap than my game through lack of competition play.
With the G425 you will get slightly more distance and a little more forgiveness that you will certainly from 7 iron onwards, compared to the i210s
Peer pressure in the UK seems like a major issue
The fact they come with arrcos is a big selling point, good value right there
Waste of money for me

2024: Any long term use reviews? Are people still playing these irons? How do they compare to 2023 irons?
Sorry Sophie. I disagree. Ping's best irons were the Eye 2. No frilly badges on my clubs! Still love your reviews though! ❤
Each to their own Mike. Thanks for the great feedback and make sure you SUBSCRIBED to the channel to see all new content first.
Did you play these in standard loft as you can get them in strong lofts i believe Sophie which may benefit me.
I did play them in standard
Hi Sophie... if you don't mind just curious. Since you play red dot what your height is ?? Did you have to cut the shaft down at all. I have found some of the fitters using the chart are all over the map.
165 cm, I have a orange dot in my wedges
@@sophiewalker2542 Thanks Sophie. Same height... 5'4" and red dot. I often feel I need to go flatter in wedges so thanks for that feedback! Been fitted several times over the years. You helped confirm why I feel that for me and my swing speed, I can learn more from you than 120+mph swing speed reviews :)
