First time messing with the Ping adapter. I'm impressed. No idea how it actually works but being able to go neutral, up or down in loft while staying in the flat setting is sweet.

Haven't had it on course yet. Will report as soon as that happens.Very nice! How is it working for you?
That's a good looking club!First time messing with the Ping adapter. I'm impressed. No idea how it actually works but being able to go neutral, up or down in loft while staying in the flat setting is sweet.

I know my hearing isn’t the best but I didn’t the sound to be as bad as I was anticipating. Is there a chance that some heads are more muted than others?
Sorry should have mentioned it was the max, they didn’t have the lst. Honestly the sound didn’t bother me and didn’t think it was overly loud?? My ball speed with it was down a few mph vs the max ls but that could be the difference in the shaft I used. I was getting 155mph with the ping vs 159-161mph with the max ls. I wish they had the lst and something other than the Alta shaft to trydid you hit max or lst? i hit max indoors in a bay and i actually quite liked it. granted i don't swing as fast as some people, so maybe speed has something to do with it.

I asked my pro to order my G425 Max on Wednesday, 2/10/21, it arrived on Monday, 2/15/21. Nothing custom though. Ordered the standard shaft in regular flex.I haven't followed closely in a few months. How is Ping handling turnaround time on custom orders now that the G425 are in stores now?
Thatt's sort of what I'm thinking on the G425 MAX driver. I would just be ordering one of the standard offerings. Just nobody actually carries it in stock as a lefty.I asked my pro to order my G425 Max on Wednesday, 2/10/21, it arrived on Monday, 2/15/21. Nothing custom though.

Hit 20 or 30 balls with my new G425 Max 5 wood at the range today. I have it in the Flat/0 setting.
Pros:
-Flight is SILLY good off the tee. High, straight, and long.
-Looks good at address. The loft presents itself nicely without looking closed.
-Stock Alta CB shaft is surprisingly solid
-Noticeably easier to hit off the floor than any other 5 wood I've tried in the last couple years (which isn't saying much - I'm a TERRIBLE fairway wood player)
Cons:
-Sounds bad. Maybe it's just different....but to me it's bad. Sort of sounds like a weight is loose or something.
-Stock grip with the Arccos implant stinks. Traction was an issue with this club today, but none of my other clubs. (I normally play a CP2 Pro)
Early summary:
It's not getting returned right away, which is more than my SIM TI, Mavrik, or TEE could say. My goal was to have more horsepower to attack par 5s and from what I've seen this could be the ticket. I probably only hit 6/10 well off the deck, but those 6 were what I've been looking for.
The specs for the standard shaft match the specs of the Atmos Red 5R2 shaft in my Mizuno ST190. That shaft suits my swing well, so I'm hoping the Alta CB Slate will too.Thatt's sort of what I'm thinking on the G425 MAX driver. I would just be ordering one of the standard offerings.

I'm using a 65g R flex Evenflow Black in my G410 I plan to keep. I've always felt the stock Alta shaft was a bit too whippy for me so I think I might order the Tour shaft or the Tensei Orange just to have and try out. I'm pretty happy with the Evenflow. My biggest issue is that no stores carry the 9* LH head in stock around here. The only lefty clubs I see on the shelf in R flex are 10.5 or the one 9* head I've seen was in stiff flex, which might not be a bad fit for me from a stability standpoint. I have tried the stiff flex in the G400 Max.The specs for the standard shaft match the specs of the Atmos Red 5R2 shaft in my Mizuno ST190.

That’s not bad at all. I’m also about 6 weeks out minimum from getting on a course so that’s easy to deal with with all this snow right now.When I ordered my irons they said 5 weeks because the shaft was on back order. If it had been something they had on hand they said it would be 2-3 weeks
Feel the same way. Sound is not an issue.I know my hearing isn’t the best but I didn’t the sound to be as bad as I was anticipating. Is there a chance that some heads are more muted than others?
