I tested the Ping G25 hybrid in a 20 degree loft with the stock TFC 189H in stiff flex. The TFC 189H weighs 71 grams with 3.1 degrees of torque. The stock shaft is available in soft regular through tour x-stiff. The more flexible shafts are designed to produce a higher ball flight while the stiffer flex shafts offer lower ball flights.
The new Ping G25 hybrid resembles the shape and color of the ping i20 irons more than the previous G20 hybrid. In fact, the change in design offers a desirable upgrade in aesthetics. The simple design with flat black color scheme and white grooves looks great. The G25 hybrid is modeled with a more traditional shape and made from 17-4 stainless steel. An external weight is visible on the sole positioning the CG low and back on the club head. The updated appearance inspires more confidence in comparison to the off-set and deep face of the G20 hybrid. The previous G20 hybrid had a the look of a hook written all over it – the G25 is much better.
The best feature of the discount G20 hybrid was a solid and dependable performance. While the performance in the G20 was solid, the G25’s updated appearance combined with the same great results is a home run for Ping. Ball flight was generally a mid to high trajectory. With the updated club head design, the G25 hybrid is still just as forgiving and easy to hit as any hybrid available on the market today. Distance was above average and would make a great addition in any bag. The Ping G25 line up is fantastic, the driver is amazing while the G25 hybrid is not far behind.
I really liked the simple design: no offset, which I’m seeing more and more manufacturers move away from (too many people trapping or hooking their long hybrids, I suspect), and the black, non-glare finish gives the hybrid a great look. I found it very easy to set up and align when getting ready to make my shot.
Again, my skepticism reared its ugly head even before I hit a single ball. A stock shaft, a 17-4 stainless steel head, and a standard PING grip…it pretty much screamed to me that I was going to hate it. I was wrong. Impact on the face was soft. The shaft was very responsive and gave me very good feedback on how well/poor I had hit the shot. And the standard grip from Ping was actually pretty good — very comfortable in my hands.
Overall, Ping updated the discount golf clubs G25 hybrid with outstanding looks to accompany outstanding results, making the G25 one of the hottest hybrids available today. Source from:http://www.salemallgolf.com/article-739-Incredibly+Solid+Ping+G25+Hybrid+Review.html
