My review of the new Ping G430 Fairway Wood. This 3 wood is one of the easiest and forgiving fairway wood / golf club you can hit! I give you the run down of the looks, feel and performance of both models……G430 Max & G430 SFT.

I tried the ping fairway woods, and could not get past the sound! It sounded like a beer can attached to a broom stick! Bought a Taylor made stealth 2.
Will definitely consider the G430 for 7w. I currently have the G425 and it's the best fairway I've ever hit but it sounds awful. Probably going into Stealth 2 TI in 5w if I can actually spin it a touch more than my old SIM 2.
Fitted for a 3SFT with Oban shaft yesterday. All I can say is laser beam fairway finder
Am I the only one that hates shallow fairway woods? For me the deeper faced the better.
Tried this the new stealth and the Paradym 3 woods
The ping was too high and spinny for me. And the noise still not great 🙈
I sold my sim max 3 & 5 woods because they were too deep faced and too inconsistent off the turf.
Got Rouge ST MAX 3 & 5 woods and they’re a night and day difference. Super easy off the turf. Can’t hit them fat. Ping would be my 2nd option but even these G430 sounds like a cannon going off
It’s a love or hate thing with PING. I think the last five years they’ve been making superb stuff
Adams made the easiest fairway woods to hit for over 30 years, the Tight Lies were the best ever, and I play a Sweet 16 tight lies that is about 8 years old!!! It will never come out of my bag!!!
Great review as always Mike, just bought the 3max fairway and 3 hybrid yesterday, absolutely love them, so consistent
I have never been able to hit fairway woods (even when I was a +1 back in HS/College days). I tried every brand I could get my hands on, but never had confidence in hitting one until I tried the Ping G425 LST 3 wood….that thing is a monster. Its super easy to hit, great flight and distance and all the confidence I ever need in a fairway wood. I don't need to replace it anytime soon, but the G430's have been getting great reviews so I might give one a shot in a 3 wood or a 5 wood.
I also loved the G425 hybrid (3H), only hybrids I ever hit that didnt tail a bit left). I want to give the G430 hybrids a swing as well. Another great video, Michael!
That crown looks awful,like elephant man’s forehead,# lumpy. Ping WTF
I think the whole sound thing with Ping woods is a beat up. Hitting a great shot where you want it is the aim. I can’t even remember what Ping clubs sound like and I’ve got a stack of different models from G400 on.
IMO, the G430 drivers and hybrids are the winners for PING this year. The fairway woods sound awful and hollow. They perform OK, but not well enough for me to switch. The hybrids are incredible. Very solid and dense sounding, easy to launch, and gave me a few yards extra carry over my G410s.
Mike, have you taken that SFT 16 degree head and put it in the F- setting? You would point the face a little further to the right, and you would get the loft down to 15 and cut some spin in the process. It might give you better results and would almost certainly look better to your eye.
