“I knew these irons would be great, but I’m even more impressed than I expected to be. I was switching from P790s into this Srixon iron and expected to lose some yardage, given how well the P790s perform in that area. However, I certainly haven’t lost any yardage and I even feel like I may be hitting these a few yards further than the P790s (yet to get to a trackman bay to confirm this)” - Andrew, May, 2023
PING G430
FACT FINDER: PING are touting the G430 Irons as their “longest iron ever.” The G430 Irons have been shaped for success. A clean look with a shorter hosel helps lower CG and align it with the force line to increase ball speed and ensure solid impact, especially low on the face. The set also includes approximately 1° additional bounce throughout. This ensures clean turf interaction and pure strikes. Other key technologies in the G430 irons include Hyper 17-4 Stainless Steel and Purflex Technology. The latter features seven flex zones that allow for more free bending to increase ball speed across the face for longer, resulting in a more solid feel and pleasing sound at impact
WHO IT’S FOR:
By combining a lower CG with stronger lofts and a thinner face, the G430 irons aim to deliver faster ball speeds and significant distance gains without sacrificing the brand’s famous forgiveness.
