My 425 Max sounds completely different than my buddies 425 Max, mine sounds like a metal baseball bat, his is loud, but doesn't have that metal sounding part. Results are great, but something is off I think, not sure I can stay with it.

I don’t really notice the sound when playing. Biggest thing for me is the number of center face hits I’m getting. Not sure if I’m longer or not but I am hitting more fairways.
Good question, I just left it at where the fitter set it when I left the place. Should it be a double click?I'm glad someone said something about this. My Max did not sound anything like some I've heard on YouTube. I can't compare the LST because I had Ping put hot melt in it, and I think it sounds amazing.
Out of curiosity, @JayVee when you have your setting are you a one click or double click with the wrench?

Loving my new G425 Max driver. Got fit into the Alta CB stiff shaft.
Question for the guys/gals with the 3w as well, did you stay in the same shaft? I hit a few G425 Max 3W shots with the Alta and launched/spun it too much.
Thinking a lower spinning shaft might be the ticket. Thoughts?
That is one of the only iron I did not compare them to hahaHas anyone put the G425 irons to the Srixon ZX4's?
- Just my luck!That is one of the only iron I did not compare them to haha
Joining in on the G425 LST discussion. Local shop fit me to this set up at 9* with the Ping Tour Stiff shaft. They demo'd the club out to me for a few weeks for a trial run. Have 2 rounds in so far and hitting more fairways than I usually have. First round 50%, 2nd round 43%.
The MAX head was too spinny for me like just about everything else out there. My current Speedzone Xtreme driver is higher spin than the LST is giving me, but not as high as a lot of the other heads I tried during a fitting. As a higher handicap with a developing swing, just about everything is spinny for me.
The LST head, when I commit myself to making sure I am swinging correctly, it just goes. Had some great drives in my rounds this past weekend and kept myself in a more playable position than I have experienced. Few more rounds to get in this next week to determine if this is staying or if I stay with Speedzone.
That said, I’m not sure still what makes them so different from the 410 and even 400’s, when I took swings, they were right on with those in practically every aspect. Not a bad thing at all as those were fantastic imo, but not exactly a change either.
I still don't see ithe 425 Max as closed. But after trying a lot of settings at the range the other day it seemed to really come to life for me in the Fade setting, standard loft, with baby draws or hitting to right centre straight or slight draw from right side if needed for hole setup. As opposed to draws that were mostly more pull draws with the weight in Draw setting.I think the same could be said for many drivers as long as we’re comparing models over the past couple of years.
I owned the Epic Flash, Mavrik and Epic Speed. On the course they were all the same distance pretty much with strike trumping anything. The Mav and Speed definitely sound better than the Flash though. but performance wise nothing in them.
The biggest thing I see with the 425 over say the 410 or 400 is the face angle. Swear the way I address that thing looks way more closed than the 400 and 400 max I had. Otherwise I’d have it in the bag as in my 2021 testing it was the longest. but it led to some snap hooks with the closed face.
