I’m late getting to it but this video is awesome! I’ve played a G425 LST 3 wood for a while now but stumbled across a cheap, beat-up G30 3W in a used bin yesterday. My only complaint about my G425 is that the face is a touch too shallow, and the G30 obviously had a taller face. I lofted it all the way down and hit it on a Trackman, and it was absolutely awesome! Nailing my ideal 3W numbers (12ish launch, 3200ish spin), going pretty much just straight. It was dirt cheap so I bought it, took it to the driving range and got more great results. Kind of crazy but an 8-year-old 3W might be kicking my current-model 3W out of the bag. Love videos like this that explore the differences in these models and how a company’s approach has evolved over the years. I’ll keep an eye out for more like this. I think an updated Titleist one with the new line out might be in order!
I had a G410 in the bag for a couple years. So easy to hit, however not terribly long for me. I just got fit into a Rogue ST Max 3W which has a similar flattened shape which I like with a bit more forgiveness and greater ball speed (and distance). It also sounds better for what it’s worth.
Very informative video. One takeaway is the shallower heads seem to be more forgiving off a fairway. A cobra fairway and driver video would be nice. Thanx
G425 have been my favorite fairways since the 07 burners which I played for 10+ years. Currently have the 5 turned down to 16.5 Flat and the 7 playing standard flat. Best clubs in my bag. Even bought the LST to try but was better fit for my buddy.

Great feedback. Yes older technology can work just as well for many of us & you can save some money too - Thomas
Like the topic! G20 3 wood stayed in my bag for almost 10 years
The flat lie angle setting was the deciding factor for me to upgrade from older fairways and Hybrids to Ping G425

I played the G30 for a season. My 3 wood results were only about 2 out of 10 shots were spectacular. I felt that shaft was a tad boardy.

Really interesting. Always loved the Ping fairway . The G20 was my go to club for 10 years! Just changed to G425 and love it apart from the sound 😂
Is there really that much of a difference?
This is awesome
What’s the value sweet spot now for ping fairways?
Can I build 2nd Swing a golf robot? Then you can do testing with numerous swing speeds for each test.
Why would 82 mph swing speed carry a 3 wood. Would most likely hit 5 wood higher and longer….
The G5 came out in 2007. So 15 years not 20. 😉
2005 😉
