PING G430 Drivers
When you’ve earned the reputation as the game’s most forgiving driver that also ranks as one of the longest, the next step is obvious: You make it longer. So we did, by engineering a new face-design optimization that leads to increased face flexing, producing the faster ball speeds that generate consistently longer, accurate tee shots from three custom-fit models:G430 MAX, SFT (straight flight) and LST (low spin).
TECHNOLOGY
Optimized T9S Forged Face
A shallower, variable-thickness face is thinner for generating faster ball speed for our biggest distance gains to date.
Carbonfly Wrap
Exclusive to the 440cc LST is Carbonfly Wrap, a lightweight composite that covers the crown and wraps into the heel and toe sections of the skirt to save weight and lower the CG for more ball speed and higher MOI.
Sound Engineering
A new internal rib structure and increased curvature of the crown, skirt and sole fine-tunes clubhead frequencies to produce a desirable sound and impact experience.
Spinsistency
Contributing to the added ball speed is a variable roll radius that improves performance across the T9s forged face by reducing spin, resulting in faster speeds that generate consistently longer drives.
CG Shifters
In the MAX, a 25-gram, high-density tungsten backweight influences shot shape ±8 yards between Draw, Neutral and Fade settings. The LST (low spin) model provides ±7 yards of movement from a 22-gram tungsten weight in the three settings.
Straight Flight Technology
New to the SFT head is a moveable, 22-gram, tungsten backweight that positions the CG to deliver 13 yards of right-to-left shot bend in the Draw setting and another 7 yards in the Draw (20 yards total).
Forgiving Heads
Each of the models is engineered to ensure added distance and forgiveness for a variety of skill levels. The MAX (460cc) is the most forgiving and fits the widest range of golfers with three loft options (9°, 10.5°, 12°). The SFT (460cc) produces right-to-left shot correction in one loft (10.5°). At 440cc, the smaller tour-style LST is available in 9° and 10.5° lofts and best fits faster swing speeds.
Adjust, Loft, Lie
To customize ball flight, Trajectory Tuning 2.0 utilizes a lightweight, aerodynamic hosel sleeve that provides eight positions, adjusting for loft (±1.5°) and lie (up to 3° flatter than std.).
G430 HL (High Launch) Build
In comparison testing, slower-swing-speed golfers gained an average of nine yards off the tee from faster ball speed generated by the lighter system weight of the HL custom build (11g backweight, lightweight PING ALTA Quick shaft, Lamkin UTx grip). Available in the MAXand SFT only.
PING-Engineered Shafts
The PING ALTA J CB Black offers mid-to-high launch, the PING Tour 2.0 Chrome mid launch, and the PING Tour 2.0 Black promotes the lowest trajectory.
