Head to head

PING G425 MAX vs TaylorMade Stealth driver

Choose the G425 MAX if off-centre strikes or a slice cost you most.

Choose the Stealth for a neutral flight with mid-low spin.

The G425 MAX is the more forgiving: PING said its moment of inertia pushed a record 10,000 and put most of its forgiveness in a 26-gram tungsten weight that moves between draw, neutral and fade, and it scores 4 of 5 here against the Stealth's 3. The Stealth, a year newer, has TaylorMade's first carbon face and its weight set low and back with no moveable weight; TaylorMade rated it highest for forgiveness on its own chart, as it rated the draw-biased Stealth HD, and that chart grades one family against itself. Both are 460cc heads with an adjustable hosel, in 9°, 10.5° and 12°; the Stealth's 12° is right-handed only.
