Ping G430 Driver Review

Has a chance to hit it yesterday with the Ping Tour 60 gram shaft.
Looks - when I saw the first pics of the 430, I was worried about the Yellow Accents, thankfully they are minimal and muted.
The lines on the face is a nice touch and helps with alignment.
Distance- Really a carbon copy of the 425, not a bad thing. I believe that chasing distance wasn't the real mission of this new club.
Sound- This is where Ping put their emphasis and tech. No longer the loud " Dink" sound.. Excellent results for Ping.
Forgiveness- This is where Ping shines, this driver just wants to go straight.
Conclusion- Ping really needs to dump the Turbolators on the crown.
It's a good driver, has good length and forgiveness, but it won't kick My Cobra LTX LS driver out of the bag.

Where did you try it?

Turbulators aren’t great. Love that the g425 fairway stuff doesn’t have them

Heard it’s actually lost distance from guys who have been gaming it for a bit now. Not sure where the gain is over 425.

There are multiple reviews on your tube with all the heads showing improvements on each head across the board. They definitely didn't lose length

to me, the G425 is the best one of the last 3 generations and I doubt you'll see a huge improvement with the G430.
I've gamed the 400LST, 410LST, and now the 425LST and the 425 is basically combining the pros of the 400 and 410 with improved MOI for added forgiveness. Dont see the 430 being that big of an improvement outside of better sound which is extremely subjective. Feel may change a little too due to the carbon makeup of the head. Hopefully they left the loft adapter the same so I can go compare the 425 to the 430, but I aint expectin' enough difference to warrant a change anytime soon.

Crown of the 425 is awful. Ping needs to definitely make it simpler
