Ping G430 MAX 10K Driver
The G430 MAX 10K Driver stands as a crowning achievement for PING, exemplifying their unwavering commitment to crafting drivers renowned for exceptional straightness and achieving the highest Moment of Inertia (MOI) ever witnessed in their lineup.
Exceeding the remarkable 10,000 g-cm2 combined moment of inertia threshold set by its predecessor, the G400 MAX, five years ago, this G430 Max 10K Driver showcases three prominent technological advancements. These features include a strategically positioned fixed back weight, a significantly enhanced head profile, and the innovative integration of a Carbonfly Wrap into the crown of the club.
Each of these distinctive elements contributes synergistically to the G430 Max 10K's overall performance, underscoring PING's dedication to pushing the boundaries of golf club design and engineering.
A pivotal feature in the G430 Max 10K Driver is the strategically positioned fixed back weight, playing a crucial role in achieving the record-setting Moment of Inertia (MOI) for the driver. Placing the weight at the back directs mass downward and backward, enhancing forgiveness and optimising the center of gravity position. This design effectively reduces spin and preserves ball speed across the entire clubface, ultimately leading to increased distance.
The G430 Max 10K features PING's most expansive head profile to date. This larger head maximises both the USGA-allowable heel-toe and front-back dimensions while adhering to the 460cc volume limit set for drivers. The expanded head size presents an aesthetically pleasing shape that aids in squaring the golfer to the target, fostering confidence and encouraging longer, straighter tee shots.
The Carbonfly Wrap technology is skillfully incorporated into the crown of the PING G430 Max 10K Driver, influencing the club's weight distribution and overall characteristics. This wrap adds to the impact experience, contributing to a slightly louder and less muted feel in the larger profile head. This enhancement has the potential to provide golfers with improved feedback during their swings.
The driver incorporates a shallower and thinner forged face, meticulously designed to enhance flexing and promote faster ball speeds upon impact. Utilising Spinsistency, an innovative variable roll radius, spin is optimised across the face, ensuring consistent spin rates and delivering added distance.
The G430 Max 10K incorporates a heavier backweight, totaling 28g, achieved by saving 5g from the carbon crown (13g fully installed). This strategic weight distribution results in a potent combination of accuracy and distance, catering to the performance requirements of a diverse range of golfers, from tour professionals to everyday players.
PLEASE NOTE: The G430 MAX 10K drivers are designed to have a combined MOI of 10,000 g/cm2 or greater
