PING G425 LST

◆ LOFTS 9° / 10.5° ◆ STOCK SHAFTS Ping Tour, Ping Alta CB

VERDICT If you seriously want to cut spin in 2021, our data suggests the LST should be pinging your radar loud and clear. The LST was our lowest spinning, low-spin driver of 2021. Even though our test pro felt the smaller head and more forward CG were probably too demanding for him to use consistently on the golf course, his forgiveness data has the LST down within our top five (all drivers, not just low-spin) models, with a drop off of just 5.1% (14 yards) in carry distance. Yes, the LST was 4 yards down on our longest (low-spin driver), but a tiny drop off (2.2mph) in ball speed means you’ll see very little variation between on- and off-centre hit performance, which is great in the lowspin category.
