The Ping G425 Max is a fairway wood built with a Facewrap design. A thin, high-strength maraging steel face extends into the crown and sole. This gives the face more flex, which produces faster ball speeds, greater distance and a high launch.
The face has a complex curvature that changes the roll profile, mainly low on the face, where the loft decreases by approximately 2.5. This is meant to normalize spin and increase ball speed for more distance. Low on the face is the most common miss-hit for fairway woods. Testing with players and with the PING Man robot showed greatly improved distance results from this Spinsistency feature there.
