G430 Max 10K driver and ping is saying they have achieved the Holy Grail of drivers so they are talking Moi moii which we’ll go into as we go this video we’re going to talk about the price the tech the looks the feel we’re going to look at the performance with some
Numbers to see if we can show what they think they’ve achieved and we’ve also got a fun game at the end at one of the most famous golf holes in the world so I’ve taken this driver to a real challenging hole to see if it can actually challenge me to be longer and
Straighter let’s kick this off looks and feels it looks big that’s my first impression it is like big it’s the old uh Max 10K big it’s a good footprint but it’s a big footprint does that make me feel like I can do this more so like hit
It as hard as possible well kind of yes and kind of no I think it makes you feel like you can do that more but some of my testing with average golfers is they actually swing the center of gravity rather than just a big head meaning they
Feel the center of gravity of the club and the outside perimeters they don’t really feel but maybe that’s another video it definitely will inspire anyone who wants to look at a big Club head down by the ball you are going to be inspired with that obviously the fixed
Weight at the back as well which you don’t see face to head always a nice contrast with ping as in lack of contrast I should say it’s kind of seamless and if you don’t like turbulators they’re still there um so you’re not going to like this one as
Well in looks I like it I think it’s batman-esque it has been for years the feel they’re saying is a little bit louder less muted even though it’s got the wrap around the carbon fly wrap which will do the tech um yeah maybe it does feel a little bit tinger they still
Got the best design of subtle neck if you want a subtle but plenty of adjustability and it sits lovely and square like it does sit well and ping do do that I think almost better than anyone like their attention to detail how it sits and how it frames is really really
Good fraction louder possibly definitely ticking boxes on looking friendly whatever that means to you it’s ticking boxes in its stal look like Ping have stayed true to for a long time now and it’s ticking boxes in feeling really solid as they all like so solid and the numbers are
Looking pretty good already we will get to the numbers I’d say no surprises that’s probably a good thing if you’re a ping fan if you’re not a ping fan you might want them to mix it up but there’s no surprises there the feel they say it’s a little louder well I don’t know
If it is but it looks ping cool so the big story is the 10K this is the first time ping of sa last this so basically this side equation this which basically just means it’s going to allow you to in theory get longer and straighter drives in theory but the spin
Isn’t going to jump way high so usually if you get the Moi just crazy high they have to it’s hard to keep the spin down because the weight all has to go way at the back but they’ve surpassed 10K while also maintaining decent levels of spin
Which we will see in the test it’s got fixed 28 G weight in it at the back this is what’s helping it produce this High Moi it’s a thinner shallower forged face they say it delivers more Flex bit more speed does have the large profile that
We saw in the looks and feel but it’s still a 460cc head doesn’t surpass that cuz you can’t but it does present big and for the slower swing speeds as well there’s custom fit options where you can put an 18 G weight in all the back weight for slower swing speeds as what
They’re saying we’ve got the carbon fly Crown as we saw in the look so we’re getting all that amazing Tech but we’ve a achieve the holy go what we’ve all been waiting for as golfers I know we are rejoicing across the land they’ve surpassed the 10K Moi measurement
Thing so when it comes to the price I’m not sure what to say because we’re looking at £599 $650 so $650 this is an expensive driver it’s up there with all the expensive where ping have often pitched them sales at that slightly reduced price not cheap but
Slightly down there but this one is like way up there where the g430 at the moment certainly in the UK I mean I’m looking at £469 that probably would have been £499 at release these are recommended retails so yeah this is like not cheap it’s up there it’s still pinging what do you
Think no Sur prises in the numbers as you would imagine from a g430 driver did I see any of their claims come through in the numbers well let’s see if I see it in the test at the end I didn’t really see it in the numbers in the
First test I saw solid spin numbers around 2 four averaging I saw good ball speed numbers kind of averaging around 162 point something which is not bad it’s not the fastest but it’s certainly not the lowest and that’s kind of where I would average I have fluctuating days
That’s what happens when you are generally not fast like me what we did get is exactly what you would expect it was true flying with the numbers I didn’t see a left or right bias particularly the spin numbers were consistent exactly where I’d want them
Subject to where I struck it on the face I think it’s a season to see that Moi number come out or maybe two but let’s see if I can find it in the game at the end the numbers as You’ expect from ping no surprises just dead
Solid the people who will game this ping is really interesting so I think everyday golfers can game it but what you’ll find on tour which often should reflect out into everyday golfers if the golf pros are doing a good job of explaining the tech and us the reviewers
Is that you’ll fine on tour that this club will cross over a percentage of their players might actually use it because that spin model is not too crazy high but the Moi is high good players want as much perceived help as possible as well so I think this is one for lots
Of golfers the day golfers they should kick off trying if you’re in for the Ping like kick off trying this one and then move back to their other models because if the 10K does make a difference over a season why would you give that up why would you give that Moi
Up would be the question so I think the people who should game this club anyone who’s a ping fan anyone who’s looking for a new driver this is one that you should definitely be Testing long and straight test here then 17th St Andrews how many many are going over into the hotel come on three shots how many at the Fairway how many they won’t be long today I’m not that long today and how many uh are in the rough longest and
Straightest and I’m going for it I’m hitting it firm because I want to test the big head oh we are not in the hotel take that one am I going to do three out of three what do you reckon it is the longest and straightest they’ve made oh room number 12b watch yourself
Oh no that could be in trouble I tried to turn that oh no that’s perfect yes please right last one I’m only 162 E Today ball speed not my fastest it was early better in the test where I collected the data just not quite as good today for the game test
It’s three out of three it’s longest and straightest it’s a bit of a toe that one but it’s going to be a low spin over exaggerate yes that 162 Ball but all three of them in play it sits lovely you definitely feel like you can throw yourself at it because it’s bigger but
Again my test show not quite that I’ve done other videos on that maybe we can talk about that more yeah it’s good from ping it’s as good as they always make any big surprises for me not really but if you’re a ping fan and you’re looking
At a new club this one’s one to try if you’re looking for something that’s as friendly inferior as possible definitely one to put on your hit list if you want to find out what the new callaways are all about if the video is out already
It’ll be here if it’s not it’ll just be some random other one

It could hit a hole in one on every hole and I wouldn’t buy it because of those stupid ugly turbulators.
Mark is right, Ping has done it. They've brought out another driver which isn't any different from the last one apart from cosmetics, and are asking a small fortune for it. Again.
Love the fun games.
I say the Cleveland you tested looks like a better option.
Price wise its bucked the rumours back end of 23 that big manufacturers have noted / listened from golfers that prices are a bit too high – well I see that rumour got squashed then with Ping but they are not alone – so far only Cleveland have tried to address the price issue.
On aesthetics the larger head presentation, appreciate its still with the 460cc max, is not an appealing look to me, more frying pan but that's my view so leaning more to the new Cleveland & TM Qi10 std model.
With respect, every promo crap they come out with for every club ever released I should be hitting the ball size hundred yards by now!
Didn't they claim that their last driver (425) was over 10k+ moi 🤷. I'd love to see a comparison video of the two. There's probably no difference in performance, just £200 for a new G430 sticker 😂
Thanks for the grounded review Mark. From the title I thought at first the 10K was price tag related… driver prices from the big brands have gone through the roof last couple of years.
10K MOI won't cure poor face angle control. There's only so much a clubhead can do, but those with massive deviations in face to path will think this is the band aid they need, and be let down.
It's exactly the same as the previous model. Complete waste of money
Im sure its a great driver but why are they shouting about 10k moi when they even say in the latest marketing that 10k was suppassed by the G400 5years ago "eclipsing the 10,000 g-cm2 combined moment of inertia threshold first surpassed by the G400 MAX five years earlier"
Get fitted with a pxg 02ll for £200 pound! Great all-round driver for the average golfer! Prices are absolutely ridiculous nowadays!
£600 or ten lessons, I know what will lower the handicap!
Hey Mark, I always enjoy your reviews. I'm not planning on buying a driver this year. But I watch all the reviews anyway. The one thing I'll say for Ping is that they tend to hold their value a bit more than other brands. They don't put out as many models as some of the others and I think that contributes to that.
Have the G400 Max and fancied a bit of a change just because I've had it a while. Went to a honest pga pro and he put me on trackman. Tried it against the 425 and the 430 and my numbers were slightly better with my old 400! I bought it off the shelf for £299 and it came with a 55g shaft. At the time heavier shafts were in vogue, but not now so I'm happy with the shaft I have. Whilst I like the idea of a new toy, the cost of drivers nowadays is actually disgraceful and an afront to golfers. Most people know that all the manufacturer promises are guff. I'd love to see the golfing fraternity boycott the latest offerings and show the Big Boys that enough is enough. Failing that, surely there's an opportunity for other manufacturers to come in at a sensible price point. £350 should be the absolute top price for a driver. Mark, a comparison video where you do a head to head between one of the latest Big Boy (TaylorMade, Ping, Callaway)offerings against a 2021 or thereabouts new club that can still be purchased for a sub £300 price point would be a great video and it would help reinforce the point (I believe). Golfers need to fight back at this runaway train of price rises
Won’t make any difference to his game
I couldn't any more out the G430 from the G425 max I game carry only a lot quieter but I aint fussed if its noisy down the centre cut of a fairway with 260 carry job done !
At the moment Ping are like most are on the money with clubs
The ping G4’s- is a 10k moi
Golfers should call out Ping for false advertising. I have a Ping G430 Max that is 4 months old and it has an MOI of 10,055. The G425 is 10,000 MOI too.
Turbulators won't get u layed.
Mark – everyone likes your honesty and professionalism. Keep the good work!
Overpriced rubbish.
Would love to see the comparison between the old g430 and the 10k g430
