This is basically a pair of high density tip weights in the toe (the visible screw) and another one hidden inside the hosel on the end of the shaft. On top of this, it should help in looks department as the back of the head looks less hollow, packing out the cavity nicely. This is an area in which we thought the G710 irons let themselves down a little. This is an aluminium design with ABS material for a more consistent feel and dampened vibrations at impact. In an attempt to improve the overall sound and feel of the G425 irons, multi-material badging has been introduced also. By introducing this pretty big shift inside the head of the irons, surprise surprise, Ping are chasing even more distance and ball speed than ever before. The old core design in the head has gone, Ping have replaced this with the same technology seen in its metalwoods - also known as Metalwood VFT.

The head features Hyper 17-4 steel, in which the strength has increased by 10%, which means G425 has the most flex deflection from a cast design Ping have ever produced. Ping have gone out of their way to make the G425 look premium and well made. This sleeker profile means it is also easier on the eye behind the ball and also helps shelf appeal. It features a smaller head than G410 but still manages to keep a similar sole and bounce. Ping has tweaked quite a lot with the shaping of the G425 iron compared to the G410. Time to find out whether it's been worth the wait and whether these claims are really true. They say “this iron is unparalleled by anything else in the market place.“ With the new G425 irons, Ping are aiming for a longer, higher, more forgiving iron with a better look and feel than ever before. When you think 'Ping G iron range' you immediately think distance and forgiveness but also, “I’ll see a lot of these sets in the hands of players at my golf club”.

Now we could have all guessed the name as Ping like to keep things consistent and as the old adage goes: 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' The launch of the highly anticipated G425 range is finally here and the whole Golfalot team is excited. The scientifically designed plus-sign texture pulls moisture away from surface to allow for consistent traction.Ping was quiet throughout 2020 (we'll not talk about why), but they’re back with a bang for 2021. The Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord features a state-of-the-art rubber-blend compound with a non-slip surface pattern and embedded cotton twill fibers for maximum playability and confidence in all weather conditions.
