PING’s newest game improvement irons are here with 7-10 more yards of distance. That’s right. The PING G430 irons feature a multi-material construction designed to increase ball speed by up to 2 mph for greater distance. And it’s all packaged together with PING’s famous forgiveness. To see how it all comes together, read on for TGW’s PING G430 irons review.
PING G430 Irons Review by TGW
Technology
PING G430 irons get a boost of 2 mph in ball speed from a thinner face and lower center of gravity. Hyper 17-4 stainless steel strengthens the face, allowing for more face flexing that generates increased distance and a higher max height to hold shots on the green.
A key contributor to the added distance is the PurFlex cavity badge. This innovation includes seven flex zones that allow for more free bending to increase ball speed across the face. In combination with a lower center of gravity, the badge contributes to the solid feel and pleasing impact sound. The stronger lofts across the set resulted in the addition of a 41° pitching wedge to ensure proper gapping options and allowed for standard lofts in the traditional scoring wedges.
Among the refinements to the overall shape is a shorter hosel, which creates a more compact, clean look and helps lower the center of gravity, aligning it closer to the force line to increase ball speed and ensure solid impact, especially low on the face. Approximately 1° of additional bounce throughout the set provides clean turf interaction and pure strikes, minimizing “heavy” shots that come up short. The high-density tungsten toe and shaft tip weights contribute to its high MOI and produce tighter dispersion patterns. The hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish delivers consistent performance from wet or dry grass.
Who It’s For
The PING G430 irons are firmly in the game improvement category. These golf clubs are loaded with speed to maximize distance along with stronger lofts to help out even more. A cavity back design with tungsten weights to increase perimeter weighting offers stability and forgiveness, especially on off-center strikes. Additional bounce also helps each iron glide through the turf.
Appearance
PING G430 irons feature a clean look at address. The topline is a little thicker and this is a healthy amount of offset to fit the game improvement profile. A shorter hosel limits distractions as well as helps lower the center of gravity.
