Ping G430 10k

This sort of reminds me of when they released the g400 and then later on, the holy grail G400max. https://forums.golfwrx.com/topic/1961954-2024-ping-10k-driv...

DC300 You could always pick up a Ping 425 LST or 430LST. They have a movable weight to help with your left problem. Also get the 9 degree so when you go down in loft the face opens. I have a 9 degree 425 LST I haven’t even used yet🙄. The Pings always have a nice shape to me and finally the TM Qi10max does vs the rest of the Qi line

And like I mentioned before, the old Ping g400 max was 9,900 MOI… only 100 short of 10k. The 430 max is 9000. So for Ping, 10k is not groundbreaking over their other drivers

I doubt any new driver head is going to be groundbreaking.

Typhoon Let’s see how that Paradym is against the wife’s Rhapsody!

Probably go about the same distance.......😉
But the sound and feel is AWESOME 😎

I tried a Paradym when they first appeared and thought the opposite - like hitting a pillow with a wet towel. 🤔
May have been the shaft/combo - I'll have to go at it again next month when I go South. 🏌♂

That’s the carbon fiber. And feel comes from sound because the faces aren’t softer.

Rick Shiels is posting his PING G430 10K review tomorrow morning on FB/YT.

I loved it. Different than any other Callaway.

Yes, but we all keep trying for that perfect fit for our unique swing…….. and then, when found, move on to something new. 🙄🤣🏌️‍♂️

We need to encourage talking about golf equipment, including the new stuff. We don't need people saying that none of it matters. In the big picture of life and the cosmos, duh, no golf stuff matters. But that's not why we come together here.

Hopefully we can enjoy trying golf equipment and talking about it here without the negativity. That's really been bugging me over the past year or so here.

Typhoon

DonM We can talk about it, go to demo days and spend the day like I used to do hitting everything and then posting about each club. That was fun because you could really see the differences.

We can talk about them but especially here, nobody is buying anything new. It’s not exactly THP or WRX.

Guys here that say it doesn’t matter… partially right. A 60 mph swing speed hit on the sweet spot of any driver in the last 10 years will be the same. What you get now are more forgiving faces. Nobody seems to look at the toe and heel hits, only their “good ones”. If they did compare heel and toe hits on old vs. new drivers they would see that equipment matters. Now the whole face is a sweet spot… 10-12 years ago it wasn’t.

Of course. This is the way. 😎

sdandrea1 Now this look 🔥 🔥 🔥! Game improvement, oversized head, v sole but thinner top line and reduced offset? Sounds like a winner

Something like this, but comparing it against older models?

I say it doesn't matter TO ME. I'm not saying it doesn't matter to the masses. If I was making 100 mph swing speed, I'd def go get a fitting.

The only problem I have with his reviews is the fact he uses so many different shafts, even though same flex. And as we all know.....🤔😉

Typhoon

Par4QC So I wish he’d compared it to his standard g430 max. I have a feeling his max goes just as straight and further and he doesn’t want Ping pissed at him for showing it.

All the reviews I see, like I said before, the 10k drivers lose distance. And in Ping world, where the drivers are already straight, what are you gaining??? Anything???

The reason he swings it slower is because of the footprint. If you recall a few years back, G400 LST time, Ping said you get more clubhead speed from the smaller 440cc LST size. They changed the footprint of the standard g430 and made the new 10k slower.

Par4QC

Typhoon I'm wondering also if this head will be the most sky-marked driver head in history!! I think he 'missed' one....at 1 point in a closeup of the face, I see a white tee mark at the crown/face. Where did the ball go??? 😂

You watch enough of his vid reviews, you know how much he hates this driver.
And, he said last year that the 430 was a waste of money/not as good as the 425. I quit with the 410, which was a POS.
G30 SFT is still tops!! Never should have let that go.

Typhoon

Par4QC I hit some indoors with it and didn’t care for the face height or lack of. I’ve seen a few reviews where the g425 out performs the g430 but people complain about the 425 sound🙄

I need to grab a regular flex shaft for my g425 LST and maybe a crazy light LD shaft like the Vizion 50

Walterjn

Typhoon what do they say is wrong with the sound?

Sneakylong

Typhoon but people complain about the 425 sound🙄

Could depend what type ball you use. A softer ball doesn’t sound as loud for me anyway. At least not with my Srixon Soft Feels.

The loudest evah was the Cobras from several years back. Sounded like an aluminum baseball bat. Sound and looks never bothered me. I’ve always been the ends justify the means type golfer.
