Callaway Mavrik Vs Ping G425 Irons Comparison And Review
A much awaiting new release from Ping and a game changing iron series from Callaway make up today’s review of the Ping G425’s vs the Callaway Mavriks
The G425 build on the superb G400’s and G410’s while offering more forgiveness in the smaller, compact heads. You can get ‘Towering Distance with the Ping G425’s but also feel and workability.
The Callaway Mavriks mark Callaways first launch into Artificial intelligence in their clubs and the Mavriks are all about distance, ball speed and accuracy.
Club Technology
A visible screw in the front head of the G425’s and a weighted hosel offer the perimeter weighting on these clubs and the cascading sole offers a higher launch angle, complimented by relatively high lofts.
The Mavriks have stronger lofts, while tungsten weighting and artificial intelligence make for the perfect dispersion of weight and getting a good launch angle should be straight forward with the Mavriks.
The Ping G425’s have a hinge that allows more flex and forgiveness from the thin steel face which has variable face thickness for more forgiveness.
The 360 Face cup technology allow for ball speed and the urethane micro spheres absorb any vibrations from shots that don’t hit flush on the face.
The Ping’s Thin face also offers ball speed and these irons are going to offer more work ability while still giving plenty of forgiveness and accuracy.
If you are looking for accuracy and distance, I would recommend the Mavriks and if you want a bit more workability, go with the Ping G425’s but for most high handicappers, the Mavriks are a great set of clubs.

Ping G425 Irons – First Impressions
After taking 2020 off, the G425 Irons are a much anticipated upgrade to the G410’s and the first thing you notice with these irons is that the heads are smaller and more compact.
The irons incorporate two weights, a visible screw at the front of the clubhead and a weight in the hosel. This, coupled with the wide and cascading sole allows a quality ball launch angle.
Ping have gone for the metal wood style material for the first time in a set of irons and the variable face thickness allows for a lot of forgiveness and ball speed on any strike, even when you hit the ball off center.
They also have a multi material badge filling in the cavity at the back to dampen any vibrations on mishits.
The irons have a slight bit of offset for forgiveness but you are going to get plenty of feel from these especially from Irons you would classify as game improvement.
Callaway Mavrik – First Impressions
The Callaway Mavrik Irons look amazing and deliver a ton of distance and accuracy with low dispersion between strikes.
Each Iron is crafted using Artificial Intelligence that ensures the weighting is in the optimal position and that these Irons maximize their potential.
They have 360 Face Cup technology which allows for some flex in the iron face on impact resulting in maximum ball speed and distance.
The clubs have a lot of loft, allowing you to get the ball in the air while Tungsten Weighting, keeps the center of gravity low in these irons and the Urethane Microspheres reduce vibrations on off center hits.
These are excellent Game Improvement irons from 2020 that come at an affordable price.

Aidan Lehane here, I’m a Mid-low handicap golfer who has made tremendous progress in breaking 90 in just over 1 year of playing golf seriously.
I get out to the course or range as often as possible and review all the equipment I’ve come across on this blog.
