January 10, 2023 – <\/strong>Unlocking more speed and distance through engineering innovations like Carbonfly Wrap<\/strong> without sacrificing its industry-leading forgiveness, PING<\/strong> introduced the G430 family today in North America, Europe and South America.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe combined distance gains throughout the entire G430 family are like nothing we\u2019ve seen from one generation of clubs to the next,\u201d<\/em> said John K. Solheim<\/strong>, PING CEO & President. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur approach with G430 has been to find more speed and deliver it in a way that contributes to lower scores and more enjoyment on the course. That includes providing a level of forgiveness that remains unequalled. The powerful combination of distance and forgiveness wins out when golfers are properly fitted. We see that every day in our research and we\u2019re excited to get the G430 into the hands of golfers so they can see the same benefits.<\/span>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe tour adoption was exceptional last fall, with almost 30 drivers in play on the PGA Tour the first week out, and multiple wins around the world since its introduction. Our staff appreciates the added ball speed of the driver and fairway woods and loves the sound. They are seeing from 2 to 4 mph gains in ball speed from the driver, which even the best players in the world are happy to find from their equipment alone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The new custom-fit, custom-built G430 family consists of three driver models (MAX, LST, SFT), two fairway-wood designs (MAX, SFT) in multiple lofts, six hybrid choices and an iron set (4-9, PW, 45.5\u00b0<\/strong>, 50\u00b0<\/strong>, 54\u00b0<\/strong>, 58\u00b0<\/strong>). For slower-swing-speed golfers, all of the clubs except the LST driver can be custom built with lighter head weights, the ultralight PING ALTA Quick shaft and a lighter grip as part of the G430 HL (High Launch) option.<\/span><\/p>\n

PING G430 DRIVERS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the new drivers, PING\u2019s engineering team developed several new technologies common to all three models while applying specific advancements to each individual head, producing measurable ball-speed gains while improving sound throughout the series. The added ball speed is attributed to a shallower and thinner VFT forged face design engineered with Spinsistency, a variable roll radius technology proven on the G425 fairway woods and hybrids. The improved and pleasing sound is the result of fine-tuning the frequencies of the head through a new internal rib structure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The MAX is still The MAX<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MAX (460cc) remains the most forgiving and fits the widest range of golfers. A 25-gram, high-density tungsten moveable backweight influences shot shape \u00b18 yards between the Draw, Neutral and Fade settings. Available in 9\u00b0<\/strong>, 10.5\u00b0<\/strong> and 12\u00b0<\/strong> lofts. Loft is adjustable \u00b11.5\u00b0 and lie up to 3\u00b0 flat from standard using the 8-setting Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe MAX is the workhorse,\u201d J<\/strong><\/span><\/em>ohn K. Solheim<\/strong><\/span> said.<\/span> \u201cIt fits every skill level, from tour players to higher handicaps. The increases in ball speed are remarkable and the sound is creating a very favorable conversation. When you combine those advancements with its industry-leading forgiveness, the MAX will win a lot of battles in comparison testing in the fitting environment.\u201d<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Introducing The LST With Carbonfly Wrap Technology <\/strong><\/p>\n

Exclusive to the LST (Low Spin Technology) driver is Carbonfly Wrap, a lightweight composite that covers the crown and wraps into the heel\/toe sections of the skirt to save weight and lower the CG for more ball speed, less spin and higher MOI. The 8-layer, one-piece composite saves four grams and weighs 11.5g fully installed. <\/strong>A moveable 22-gram, high-density tungsten backweight influences shot shape \u00b17 yards between the Draw, Neutral and Fade settings. At 440cc, the smaller tour-style LST is available in 9\u00b0<\/strong> and 10.5\u00b0<\/strong> lofts (adjustable \u00b11.5\u00b0 and lie up to 3\u00b0 flat from standard) and best fits faster swing speeds.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWith recent manufacturing advancements and the smaller head size of the G430 LST, the time is right to bring this technology to golfers,\u201d<\/em> said John K. Solheim. \u201cIt\u2019s quickly becoming the favorite of our tour players, who are enjoying the ball-speed gains while raving about the look, feel and sound.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Adjustable Backweight in SFT<\/span><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

New to the SFT (Straight Flight Technology) head (460cc) is a two-setting, moveable tungsten backweight (22g) 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). Available in 10.5\u00b0<\/strong> loft (adjustable \u00b11.5\u00b0 and lie up to 3\u00b0 flat from standard).<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOur SFT technology reinforces our commitment to custom fitting,\u201d<\/em> John K. Solheim<\/strong> said. \u201cIt\u2019s a tremendous option for golfers who consistently slice the ball. The reality is more golfers could benefit from this type of technology, so we\u2019ve added the two-setting backweight to allow for further adjustments in shot bend as necessary.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
