PING G430 Irons
Your shot making and your confidence will be sky high with the new G430 iron. It’s the result of a complex design that combines a lower CG with stronger, custom-engineered lofts and a thinner face that gives you up to 2 more mph of ball speed – leading to significant distance gains without compromising PING’s famous forgiveness. Among the contributors to the distance gains is the PurFlex cavity badge, an engineering advancement that promotes more face bending while ensuring a desirable impact experience. All of which makes G430 a distance and score-lowering iron in one.

TECHNOLOGY
Faster Ball Speed
A proprietary heat-treating process creates Hyper 17-4 stainless steel and strengthens the face, allowing for more flexing that generates increased distance and a higher max height to hold shots on the green.
PurFlex Technology
An innovative new badge with seven flex zones allows for more free bending to increase ball speed across the face for longer results. In combination with a lower CG, the badge contributes to the solid feel and pleasing impact sound.

Solid Impact
Approximately 1° of additional bounce throughout the set ensures clean turf interaction and pure strikes, minimizing “heavy” shots that come up short.
Forgiveness & Consistency
Extreme perimeter weighting in the form of high-density tungsten toe and shaft tip weights contribute to its high MOI and produce tighter dispersion patterns. The hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish delivers consistent performance from wet or dry grass.
Gapping Solution
The stronger lofts across the set resulted in the addition of a 41° PW to ensure proper gapping options and allowed for standard lofts in the traditional scoring wedges (45.5°, 50°, 54°, 58°).

NOTES
- These are design specifications that may vary due to manufacturing tolerances.
- Lie angle is based on Black Color Code at standard length.
- Retro Spec Loft is a fitting option if you’re less concerned with overall distance and more with precision and a higher trajectory for more stopping power. This loft configuration yields functional distance gaps for utilizing a 3-wedge setup or a more classic loft spec.
- Power Spec Loft is a fitting option for players looking to boost their iron distance or decrease spin to hit a desired trajectory window. The Power Spec is a custom-designed loft configuration that delivers a power boost in a calculated fashion without sacrificing the integrity of the club’s design.
- Club bounce angles will vary slightly if ordered with non-standard loft specs.
- Standard swingweights for graphite-shafted clubs are 1 to 2 points lighter than shown, depending on shaft flex.
- Standard swingweight for the HL (High Launch) build in the 7-iron is C8.
- 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.

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.
