When you’re picking out a new set of irons, you’re choosing the majority of your clubs in one fell swoop. It’s a big old decision that will definitely have an effect on your scores, so it’s important we get the right ones in your bag. And yes, that’s we as in us and you together. But we’re here to look at the best irons on the market, and there’s only one place to start... PING G430.
 

First impressions

Arguably the most famous thing about PING irons is the sound and feel at impact (and, I suppose, the fact they’ve won countless titles on Tour). But the first impression of these new irons doesn’t come when we hit them. It come when we see them sitting on the shelf looking absolutely stunning. Then, of course, we move to putting them behind the golf ball and enjoying the confidence-inspiring look they give you.

The main talking points

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Right? Sure, but if – like PING – you can make it better, why not? The PING G430 irons incorporate some of the same technologies as the previous G425 irons, which became fan-favourites for their easy-to-hit playability, with features like the cavity badge for beautiful feel at impact and tungsten weight in the toe & shaft to provide forgiveness. With that said, the performance has been taken to another level this year.

By creating a thinner face and lower centre of gravity, PING is able to drastically improve both speed (which then translate into more distance) and launch when compared to previous models. The big headline, however, is the PURFLEX’s seven flex zones. This huge engineering leap improves three different key areas in one go: ball speed (i.e. more distance), feel and sound. This all comes together, along with the added forgiveness in the sole, to give you confidence before the shot and outstanding results afterwards.

As amazing as these new PING irons are, the G430 might not be the best option for improving your game. Every golfer has different wants & needs, which is why PING offers everything from this model for game improvement to the excellent Tour-proven i230 for all-out precision. You can also explore the i525, i59 and Blueprint irons. Every single one boasts its own unique benefits or individual golfers.

We mentioned finding the right irons together, and with so many options in these irons alone, that’s even more important. Our custom fitting service is the best way to do this, with our expertise, professional knowledge and love of the game key to giving you a fantastic experience and getting the right irons in your hands.
