The PING G430 irons are engineered to deliver impressive distance gains of approximately 7-10 yards while maintaining the brand's renowned forgiveness and consistency. A refined multi-material construction lowers the centre of gravity, strengthens lofts and incorporates a thinner face to generate up to 2+ mph faster ball speeds. The result is longer carry distances and improved accuracy throughout the set without sacrificing feel.
A key contributor to the performance boost is the innovative PurFlex cavity badge. Featuring seven flex zones, it allows greater face deflection at impact to enhance ball speed across a wider area. Combined with a lower CG position, this design also improves sound and feel for a more solid, confidence-inspiring strike.
A shorter hosel design creates a more compact appearance and helps lower the CG closer to the force line. This improves energy transfer and ball speed, particularly on strikes low on the face. Approximately 1° of additional bounce throughout the set enhances turf interaction and helps reduce heavy strikes that come up short.
The multi-zone PurFlex badge maximises face flex for increased distance while maintaining the soft, responsive feel expected from PING irons. It plays a vital role in delivering consistent ball speeds and improved performance across the face.
High-density tungsten toe and shaft tip weights increase moment of inertia (MOI), promoting tighter dispersion patterns and greater forgiveness. The Hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish ensures consistent performance in both wet and dry conditions.
Hyper 17-4 stainless steel strengthens the thinner face, enabling greater flex at impact. This generates increased ball speed and higher peak trajectories to help shots land softly on the green.
Stronger lofts throughout the set include a 41° pitching wedge for improved distance gapping. This allows for seamless transitions into traditional scoring wedges (45.5°, 50°, 54°, 58°), ensuring proper yardage spacing.
