Choose the SFT if the ball curves right off the tee.
Choose the MAX if your misses go both ways or you want 9° or 12°.
G425 SFT $349.99 · G425 MAX $349.99, each with its shop and checked date
Both are 460cc G425 heads with the same eight-position hosel and the same six stock shafts, and PING no longer lists either. The SFT is the slice model: its 23-gram tungsten weight is fixed toward the heel, for about 25 yards more right-to-left bend than the MAX by PING's figure, and it comes in 10.5° only. The MAX's 26-gram weight moves between draw, neutral and fade, in 9°, 10.5° or 12°, and PING said the MAX took its moment of inertia to the highest level in its history, so the MAX scores 4 of 5 here and the SFT 3.
PING's slice model of 2021: a 23-gram tungsten weight fixed toward the heel, which PING says bends the ball about 25 yards further right to left than the G425 MAX, on a 10.5° head.
PING's most forgiving driver of 2021, which PING said had the highest moment of inertia in its history, with a 26-gram weight that moves to draw, neutral or fade.

PING's most forgiving driver of 2021, which PING said had the highest moment of inertia in its history, with a 26-gram weight that moves to draw, neutral or fade.
Both are 460cc PING heads in 9°, 10.5° and 12°, with a hosel that moves loft 1.5° either way and a tungsten back weight that sets draw, neutral or fade: 26 grams on the G425 MAX, 25 grams on the G430 MAX.
Both were their maker's highest-MOI 460cc driver of their year, both score 4 of 5, and both came in 9°, 10.5° and 12° in either hand; neither maker sells them now, so you buy them used or from a shop's last stock.
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.
