It really was one of those, “Holy Sh*t! This works!!’,” moments demoing a club. Just instant, "DING-CRAACK! (the sound is God-Awful), 10-14 degrees launch,150-ish ball speed 3,000-3,200 spin, and straight. Not the end-all, be-all, but a damned good 80% solution.
It just works. 240-ish carry; 260-270 roll. Not great, but it’s pretty consistent.
Really recommend anyone who is currently fighting with their driver, to give the 425 Max a try. (and reputedly, the 400 and 410 Maxes as well) The spin is too high, the smash isn’t great (though that’s likely me), and the stock shafts aren’t amazing with feel. But it’ll get you a lot of the way there.
It’s not for the Craigers or BigDadEnergy’s of the world. They know what they’re doing, and swing a bit faster than I do. For the rest of us, who can’t practice a ton, this club ain’t bad for the job.
