Length: Ping i525 vs Ping g425
In terms of length, there is not too much of a difference between these two clubs, aside from one thing. On the shorter side, each starts out around 35 inches, however when you get to the longer side, the i525 offers a 39.5 inch option, and the g425 offers a 38.875 inch option. While this isn’t a huge difference (less than 1 inch), it is substantial enough to mention. Depending on what length you are used to, these are your options to consider.
The USGA has pretty strict rules on the length of a club. Currently, a club can not be more than 46 inches long, otherwise it is considered illegal. However, none of these clubs break that rule, so they are considered legal to use.

On the flip side, the g425 has 58 degrees as its highest loft option whereas the i525 only has 50 degrees as its highest option. So, if you are more interested in getting lower loft irons, then the i525 is better for you, but if you are looking for higher loft irons, then the g425 is better for you.
