What does SFT mean on this fairway wood?

Straight Flight Technology. Weighting and an offset hosel bias the head to help close the face and reduce a slice.

How does it differ from the G425 Max fairway?

The Max is neutral and more workable. The SFT adds draw bias and offset for golfers who fight a fade or slice.

Is it good off the fairway or mainly off the tee?

Both. The shallow face and high launch make it easy off the turf, and it works as a driver alternative on tight holes.

What is Spinsistency?

A face curvature that lowers loft about 2.5 degrees low on the face to normalize spin and keep ball speed on the common low miss.

Players who already draw the ball or want to shape shots both ways. A neutral fairway like the G425 Max suits them better.

What lofts does it come in?

Ping offered it in several lofts, typically 3, 5 and 7 wood. Check the loft marked on the head before buying.

Our take on the Ping 2022 G425 SFT Fairway Wood

The Ping G425 SFT is a fairway wood built to fight a slice. Its draw-biased weighting and offset hosel help square the face for golfers who lose shots right. The maraging steel face wraps into the crown and sole for more flex and ball speed, and Ping's Spinsistency face curvature trims spin on low strikes. Against neutral fairways like the G425 Max, it trades workability for forgiveness and a right-to-left bias. Reviewers call it easy to launch and straight, though better players find the draw bias limiting.

About the Ping 2022 G425 SFT Fairway Wood

The Ping G425 SFT is a fairway wood with a Facewrap design. A thin, high-strength maraging steel face extends into the crown and sole. This allows more flexing, which produces faster ball speeds, more distance and high-launching shots.

The face has a complex curvature that changes the roll profile and brings more consistent spin. Low on the face, the loft decreases by approximately 2.5 to normalize spin and increase ball speed. This area is the most common miss-hit location for fairway woods. Player and PING Man robot testing showed greatly improved distance from this Spinsistency feature.

Face material: Thin, high-strength maraging steel
Face design: Facewrap, extending into the crown and sole
Face curvature: Complex curvature that modifies the roll profile
Loft change: Decreases approximately 2.5 low on the face
