I got fitted for these in Nov 24'.
I went for the Retro lofted variant with Alta CB Black reg shafts.
Been getting good results, the weaker lofted 7 iron (31°) flies 140yds, drops steeply and stops quickly.
Very pleased as the G440s were soon to be released, I preferred the look of the 430s and Ping dropped the price of the 430s as not to get stuck with old stock.
Good for slicers….🏌️🏌️
PING 430 IRONS ARE THE WORST IRON I HAVE EVER HAD; I BOUGUT THEM WITHOUT TRYING THEM, BIG MISWTAKE . I had a set of pings zing 2 irons for over 20 years and loved them. traded them for taylormade sim 2 irons which i liked a lot for 2 years, tried tietlest 300 AND , lost 20 yards, trqded for ping 430 without trying them; big mistake , hate the sound, vibration, and they were supose to fly hyighjer. they did not on the contrary ,and i hate them they are the worst irons i have ever had. after hitting a full basket of balls, i was ready to lose money and trade them in as soon.aspossible. i cant believe the enthousiasm there is for these crap irons.very disapointed and looking to trade them in . one thing for shure i will try the next irons before buying them. and i suggess you do the same
I love the offset on these.
Was this corrected with the 440? Thanks
Was the Freudian slip at the beginning as sign of unconscious bias? Sounds like lots of excuses for giving an unbiased review.
430 = Fag’s Clubs
Only problem ive had with the 430's is if you dont keep your swing speed down, you can hit the 7 iron 200 yards. Goes for all of the clubs. Get excited and your over the green.
What you failed to mention was club length, lie (I noticed orange dot), grip size and shaft. Maybe the clubs are not fitted for you. Just an observation from a Ping player.
Hi Lee, I remember the nice holiday at Whitsand bay. I am still living in France. Soon moving back to uk. Will certainly come back again cause it is so friendly there and I also remember the fun round of golf we had! Take care
Using a quad and you dont post the club data, seems like maybe youre intentionally not showing why they performed the way they did
I have the G 410. They are clunky, and they tend to hook or draw the ball quite a bit. I bought some Calaway smoke irons to replace them.
Inserts fell out of my ping g's. Buyer beware. Complete garbage
I don’t get the whole “some golfer won’t use these or are too good to use these” 95% of golfer could use these unless you are an elite player. A lot of club golfers use irons that are making life more difficult for them!! Posers….What golfer is going to complain about hitting it too straight!! I’ve been a low handicapper and I just bought these irons in the hope that they will make more consistent.
G430 irons went a few yards longer and a bit higher as well than the G430 irons for me. The sound was better as well.
I actually just bought the G430’s over the Calloway smokes and TaylorMade. I had an old set of TaylorMade R7’s custom fitted with 6grahm rifle shafts. They were old and I don’t swing the ball the same way. I bought the ping g430’s, pha super store dialed me in with graphite shafts…gained 15-10 yarfs a club. Stopping on the green is not an issue as I have and extremely high ball flight. That being said, I have not gained much in the longer irons. Short irons have been a huge improvement.
Well on the course it went high
It's launching lower and going farther than your 7 iron, solution- hit the 8 iron.
Why don't you try standard loft ? A lot different indeed
Thanks for the honest review
@2:17 you state you fear the offset will cause you to lose it a bit to the right. @6:20 you state the offset is causing you to pull it left.
Had the Mizuno 923 HL set for about a year now! Just changed to G430 and have to say they are longer and straighter for me! Satisfied so far!
I went for a fitting with the new stealth irons. After the fitter set it up to what he thought was good for me I really didn’t see much difference from my old M4’s. Then I went for a fitting with the 430’s. What a difference. Hit them further, higher and with a better spin rate. Ordered them right away. I’m 66 years old and a mid to high handicapper. I love these irons. After playing with them for a couple of months I can tell you that my handicap has dropped by 2 strokes and I am having more fun playing the game. And to me that’s what it is all about.
Just a beginner but love the G430 experience. Loved your review. Keep up the good work!
These are just so forgiving for me, it almost seems like cheating.
I loved these they are in my bag this year. same carry, spot on spin and great forgivness. these were the best irons i have hit this year. compared to jpx hot metals, aero jets, stealth, and p790s.
Nothing wrong with the clubs you’ve hit poor shots
