PING G430 Fairway Woods

Sizing up your approach into a long par 4, going for the par-5 in two, you want 100% confidence that your fairway wood will give you the solid contact, speed and higher ball flight to get you home. In the G430 fairways, we’ve developed Carbonfly Wrap to deliver more distance by positioning the CG closer to the force line to maximize ball speed, resulting in higher, longer carries, whether you’re fit for the MAX or SFT model. They also rely on Facewrap and Spinsistency, two proven technologies that contribute to distance gains and spin consistency across the clubface.

PING G430 Fairway Woods

Sizing up your approach into a long par 4, going for the par-5 in two, you want 100% confidence that your fairway wood will give you the solid contact, speed and higher ball flight to get you home. In the G430 fairways, we’ve developed Carbonfly Wrap to deliver more distance by positioning the CG closer to the force line to maximize ball speed, resulting in higher, longer carries, whether you’re fit for the MAX or SFT model. They also rely on Facewrap and Spinsistency, two proven technologies that contribute to distance gains and spin consistency across the clubface.

TECHNOLOGY

Carbonfly Wrap

Carbonfly Wrap, a lightweight composite crown, wraps into the heel and toe sections of the skirt. Weight savings are reallocated to lower the CG and increase ball speed. The composite also plays a role in the pleasing sound.

Facewrap Technology

The variable-thickness, high-strength maraging steel face wraps into the sole and crown, generating more flexing for faster ball speed with higher launch for greater distance.

Spinsistency

A variable roll radius improves performance across the face (especially on thin shots) by reducing spin to increase ball speed and distance from the maraging steel face.

Adjust, Loft, Lie

To customize ball flight, Trajectory Tuning 2.0 utilizes a lightweight, aerodynamic hosel sleeve that provides eight positions, adjusting for loft (±1.5°) and lie (up to 3° flatter than std.).

Forgiving Heads

Both models are engineered to ensure added distance and forgiveness for a variety of skill levels. The MAX fits the widest range of golfers with four options (3W, 5W, 7W, 9W), while the SFT produces right-to-left shot correction in three heads (3W, 5W, 7W).

HL (High Launch) Build

A 5.5-gram backweight, PING ALTA Quick shaft, and 41-gram Lamkin UTx grip make up the HL (high launch) build in the MAX and SFT fairways, helping slower swing speeds generate the clubhead speed that produces faster ball velocity and higher launch.

PING-Engineered Shafts

Our proprietary ALTA J CB Black delivers a mid-to-high trajectory, and the PING Tour 2.0 Chrome offers low to mid launch.

NOTES

  • These are design specifications that may vary due to manufacturing tolerances.
  • Standard swingweight is based on ALTA CB Black Stiff shaft.
  • Standard swingweight for the HL (High Launch) build in the MAX is C8 in the 35 flex, C9 in the 45. For the SFT, C7 in the 35, C8 in the 45.
  • Lie angle is an average of the five adjustable loft positions indicated on the hosel.
  • Achievable swingweights depend on shaft, length and grip combinations.
  • Available in right- and left-handed models.

To get the most distance from your driver, you must optimize the launch angle and spin rate of the ball by selecting the proper loft and shaft flex for your swing speed. Generally, golfers with slower swing speeds require more-lofted drivers and more-flexible shafts to achieve the proper launch conditions. Conversely, golfers with faster swing speeds generally require lower-lofted drivers and firmer shafts.

We recommend that you get fit for the shaft that allows you to play your best golf. Whether that’s a softer, lighter shaft with a higher launch or a heavier, stiffer shaft with a lower trajectory, a PING Certified Club Fitter can help you find the shaft that brings consistency to your game.

Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet The Golf Pride Tour Velvet features a state-of-the-art rubber-blend compound with a non-slip surface pattern for maximum playability and confidence. The scientifically designed plus-sign texture pulls moisture away from surface to allow for consistent traction.
Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet Cord The Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord features a state-of-the-art rubber-blend compound with a non-slip surface pattern and embedded cotton twill fibers for maximum playability and confidence in all weather conditions. The scientifically designed plus-sign texture pulls moisture away from surface to allow for consistent traction.
Lamkin UTx (HL) UTx Ultralite allows you to experience the benefits of the UTx pattern while meeting a tight, lightweight tolerance for overall swingweight. UTx provides a secure and comfortable connection to the club with maximum feel and feedback in all weather conditions.

PING offers a variety of grip sizes and styles to fit different hand sizes and texture preferences. Since grip size influences your wrist action, and therefore the direction of your shots, it is commonly used by fitters to affect ball flight.

PING colour-coded grips are available in six different diameters, and can be further customized with grip tape according to your needs. Once the neutral grip colour code has been determined based on hand measurements, golfers may consider smaller diameter grips to help control fades and slices, or larger diameter grips to help control draws and hooks.
