Ping G425 LST Driver

“Someone I would call a “hard switcher,” Vik finally put his Ping G425 LST to the side and committed to the 440LST.”

“At 45.75 inches in length, Viktor Hovland already plays one of the longer drivers on the PGA Tour. While the specs on his Ping G425 LST driver won’t be changing at the Masters, Hovland decided to test two different builds in Houston.”

“In February, Ping reps attempted to increase launch and combat a lower-than-comfortable spin rate on Hovland’s Ping G425 LST driver by removing the shaft tipping from his Fujikura Speeder 661 TR TX shaft to soften the overall build.”

“Hovland was solid in most facets of his game, including ranking T-15 in driving distance at 290.1 metres (317.3 yards) with his 9-degree Ping G425 LST driver with a Fujikura Speeder TR 661-TX shaft that measures 45.75 inches.”

“He needed to lean on that Sunday as his 9-degree Ping G425 LST driver, while long (he ranked second for the week in driving distance at 322.6 yards) was not accurate, as he hit just two fairways in the final round.”

“Finau’s driver is Ping’s G425 LST, the low-spin version of the G425 family. Although the stated loft is 9 degrees, Finau uses the big minus position on the adjustable hosel to bring it down to 7 degrees.”

“Hovland had used a Ping G425 LST driver with a Fujikura Speeder TR 661 TX shaft for seemingly forever. However, at the 2025 Masters, Hovland finally switched it out to the Ping G440 LST”

“Finau’s driver is Ping’s G425 LST – the low-spin version of the G425 line. Although the driver has 9 degrees of loft, it is set in manner where the actual loft is just 7 degrees.”

“Instead of standing pat with the usual club setup, Hovland opted to shake things up at the top of the bag, replacing his 9-degree Ping G425 LST driver with the latest G440 LST.”

“This week, Ping sent Spencer Rothluebber, who texted Oates earlier this week to tell him that Hovland did not even bring his longtime Ping G425 LST gamer to Canada.”

“Finau won last year with a Ping G425 LST driver (Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70TX shaft) , but has since moved into the new Ping G430 LST with the same shaft .”

“Hahn’s Ping G425 LST driver was shorter than Hovland’s gamer, but beggars can’t also be choosers, so Hovland grabbed the club and got back to the range.”

“He will return to his familiar PING G425 LST driver at Bay Hill after recently trialling the company’s newer G440 models during the West Coast Swing.”

“Finau plays a 9-degree Ping G425 LST driver in the “big minus” loft sleeve setting, which essentially means he’s at 7 degrees of actual loft.”

“six of Hovland’s seven prior wins came with his trusty Ping G425 LST driver , but Hovland seems to have finally retired that driver”

““I was talking with him on the range [in Houston] and he was hitting a [Ping G425 LST] with 180 mph ball speed,” said Oates.”

“Two-time PGA Tour winner Viktor Hovland explains to GOLF’s Jonathan Wall why his Ping G425 LST driver is his favorite club.”

“Beginning with the driver and, for a number of years, Hovland has used the Ping G425 LST , which was released in 2021.”

“he had a four-year-old driver (G425 LST), seven-year-old irons (Ping I210) and six-year-old 3-wood (TaylorMade SIM).”

“The eventual winner added a G425 LST driver, 3-wood and Max 7-wood to the bag and didn’t skip a beat.”

“From 2020 to 2024, Hovland was a top-25 driver every season courtesy of his Ping G425 LST.”

“One was a 47-inch G425 LST (8.3 degrees); the other was a 48-inch G425 LST (7.8 degrees).”

“Namely, a Ping G425 LST driver that’s been a certified weapon over the last few years.”

“he made it a point to stop by Ping headquarters for a G425 LST driver tuneup”

“Theegala used the Frankenhybrid and a Ping iBlade 2-iron to fill in the gap between his Ping G425 LST driver and iBlade 3-iron, but as he made the transition to the PGA Tour, it became apparent that having a club with a towering launch could be a nice-to-have.”
