Ping G425 Driver Adjustment Chart Detail
You might have already visualized the adjustment from the chart. If not, I will explain the chart for your convenience. Check this out below.
Dot Setting
This is the standard loft setting of the driver. At this point, the driver can have a loft angle of 9.5° to 13°, depending on the model. You will see the little arrow on the club head aligned with the Dot or O on the shaft.
In this position, the lie angle will also be neutral. It means the lie can be 57.0° to 58.5°, depending on the model.
Small Plus Setting
If the little arrow on the clubhead is aligned with the small plus on the shaft, the loft angle will increase by 1°. The increase is the same for all models having different standard loft angles.
For example, if you have a driver with a standard loft of 9°, the loft will be 10° when you use the small plus setting.
But the lie setting will remain unchanged. It means the lie will still be neutral despite the loft angle change.
Big Plus Setting
As you can see on the chart, the big plus setting increases the loft angle by 1.5°. So, if you use the big plus setting on a 9° standard loft driver, the loft will be 10.5°.
But it brings no changes to the lie settings. The standard lie will be neutral.
Small Minus Setting
This setting is for decreasing the loft. When the little arrow points to the small minus on the shaft, the loft will be decreased by 1°. For example, a driver with the standard loft angle of 9° will have a loft angle of 8° after adjustment.
Like the previous settings, there will be no change in the lie setting in this case.
Big Minus Setting
This setting reduces the loft by 1.5°. If you have a driver with a standard loft of 9° and change to this setting, the loft angle will be 7.5°. But the lie angle will remain standard.
F Setting
This is where the lie angle starts to change. If you choose the F setting, the loft angle will remain constant. But the lie will be flat. A flatter lie can be suitable for the draw setting.
F+ Setting
The F+ setting changes the loft and lie at the same time. If you choose this setting, the loft angle will increase by 1°. So, the final loft angle on a standard driver will be 10°. And the lie will be flat.
F- Setting
This setting also changes the loft and lie. By choosing this setting, you can decrease the loft angle by 1°. For example, a driver with the standard loft angle of 9° will have a loft of 8° in this setting. And the lie will be flat.

How to Adjust the Ping G425 Driver?
Here are the steps for Ping G425 driver adjustment. Follow these steps to easily adjust the loft and lie of your driver.
Required Tools
- Ping G425 driver
- Ping Torx wrench
- Step 1: Turn the driver upside down so that the grip area is on the ground and the clubhead is facing upward.
- Step 2: You will see a screw at the hosel. It is the heel of the head. Insert the Ping wrench into it.
- Step 3: Rotate the wrench counterclockwise to loosen the screw until the screw is totally out.
- Step 4: Pull the head gently to lift it from the shaft. The shaft and the head should be separate but not too far apart. You should be able to see the adjustment options clearly.
- Step 5: Rotate the shaft slowly to align your desired loft and lie setting with the little arrow on the head.
- Step 6: Insert the shaft into the head so that the adjustment isn’t changed. Then, rotate the Ping wrench clockwise to tighten the screw.
Ping G425 Driver Weight Adjustment
The Ping G425 driver comes with an adjustable weight that can be used to adjust your draw or fade settings. It weighs about 17g, and you can change the center of gravity of the driver by adjusting its position.
There are three positions for the weight. You can keep it in the center, close to the toe, or close to the heel. Here are the steps for adjusting the weight.
- Step 1: Make your loft and lie adjustments first.
- Step 2: Loosen the screw on the weight sitting at the back of the head. Then, remove the weight from the head.
- Step 3: Place the weight in the desired position. You can move the weight close to the heel for draw settings. A center position will give the neutral setting. If the weight is closer to the draw, it will give the fade settings.
- Step 4: Insert the screw and tighten it to secure the weight.
FAQ about Ping G425 Driver Adjustment Chart
You might have some more questions about the Ping G425 driver adjustment. Here are the answers to them.
Q: Is the adjustment chart the same for LST and SFT models?
Yes. Ping G425 has three models, and the above adjustment chart is applicable to all models.
Q: What is the lie in the flat position?
It depends on the standard life of your driver. If the driver has a 57° lie in the neutral position, the flat position will increase the lie by 3°. So, the final lie will be 60°.
Q: Is driver adjustment helpful to correct slices?
Yes. You can adjust the draw setting by changing the position of the weight towards the heel. It will reduce the chance of slices.
