The G430 MAX 10K is PING’s straightest and highest Moment of Inertia (MOI) driver to date, eclipsing the 10,000 g-cm2 combined moment of inertia threshold first surpassed by the G400 MAX five years ago. 

Three main visible technologies and differences distinguish the G430 MAX 10K: A fixed back weight, a larger head profile, and a Carbonfly Wrap on the crown.   

The fixed back weight allows for the record-setting MOI as it drives mass down and back to increase forgiveness and optimise the centre of gravity position, lowering spin and ensuring ball speed preservation across the clubface for added distance.  

The heavier backweight (28g) is in part achieved by weight savings of five grams from the carbon crown (13g fully installed) to create a powerful combination of accuracy and distance to meet the performance needs of all golfers – from tour professionals to everyday golfers. 

The shallower and thinner forged face is optimised for more flexing to ensure faster ball speeds and relies on ‘Spinsistency’, a variable roll radius innovation, to optimise spin across the face for added distance. 

PING’s biggest head profile to date maximises the USGA-allowable heel-toe and front-back dimensions while staying within the 460cc volume limit. This eye-pleasing shape helps square the golfer to the target and inspires the confidence to hit longer, straighter tee shots.

PING’s new driver is also available in a high launch (HL) offering.

The lighter overall weight of the G430 MAX 10K HL driver offers all the technology and performance of the standard version, including the record-setting MOI, for slower-swing-speed golfers who don’t generate sufficient clubhead speed and ball velocity from traditionally weighted clubs.

Custom engineered and custom built at 46" with a lighter backweight (19g), ultra-light shafts (PING Alta Quick 35/45) and grip (Lamkin UTx Lite, 41g), the result is a lower overall system weight so golfers can swing faster and generate more ball speed for higher-launching, longer-carrying and straighter tee shots.

The PING G430 and G430 HL MAX 10K is available in 9°, 10.5°, 12° (adjustable +-1.5°) lofts.

RRP: $1,150.
