In this video I test each of the 5 stock driver shaft options from Ping that they offer in their G430 range of Drivers......G430 Max, G430 SFT & G430 LST. Golf shafts are increasing in options and can make the buying process for golfers complicated and sometimes confusing! This run through of hitting each of the driver shafts I provide details on the feel and the characteristics of each shaft along with TrackMan numbers of their performance.

I’ve paid for 3 x 200 dollar fittings at precision golf and all fitters disagreed and aggressively hated on one another’s opinions. I’ve learned more from this video than their fittings.
Love this. Don’t think people understand how much of a difference shafts make compared to heads.
Please do more as the driver season begins
Just proves what a great club head the Ping 430 Max is. I have mine with the CB shaft in regular. Haven’t tried the others. Most forgiving and longest driver I’ve had in 50+ years of golf. Confidence inspiring.
Great insight! Thanks Michael
What a thorough and well orchestrated video! Best I've seen, PERIOD!! Thank you for answering my questions about which shaft to choose.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Extremely informative. I'm going to get fitted for this driver and now feel much more informed. Thanks
Great video as always
Excellent video and fantastic information as always and very interesting the difference between the shafts and highlights how valuable a fitting is when spending so much money on one club.
This mirrored my experience with the G430 10K - just picked one up with the Tour 2.0 Black! You could throw a blanket over my dispersion!
Awesome!
Hi there. I have the Red Smoke stiff but it's paired with the G430 LST. Great results in lowering the spin that you got with the G430 Max. Great review, as usual. Thanks!
GREAT review!!! Super helpful!
Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for making this Video. I played the Kai li, then the tour black, and went back to Kai li. I play them in stiff with the max head. I am in the 100-105 range. Kai li is heavier and launched lower for me and I just needed lower launch with the 9-degree head. I feel there is a better option out there. The tour black did feel good and liked the lighter weight. Wish I could demo some other shafts. I should just go play golf and be thankful for what I have.
Had a fitting today,TM Q10 or g430max. g430 Max was unbelievable, got it with the standard flex with tour shaft!
I upgraded from the G425 with the AltaCB last year to the G430 with the tour Chrome X. Initially it did feel more stable, but I didn't feel like I was getting whip I was used to. I've switched to the tour Black S, and that seems better, but I'm still not sold. I ended up changing the movable weight on the back of the club adding 3 grams over stock and that has proved beneficial, but now I'm not getting the launch angle and height I was seeing. Good point on shaft length and stability though, as I've always tended to prefer the longer for speed but hadn't considered the impact on stability. Think after watching this and now having hit the G430 1000's of times, I might start over at how I got it stock and see how it feels. My distances have been pretty consistent so working on feel and dispersion / control. Thans for sharing. Good stuff.
thanks Mike would like to see the same test with the Stealth 2
Got fitted for the tour shaft chrome stiff . I got better numbers compared to the paradym driver. This tour chrome shaft was the only shaft they fitted me in. I like it though
Great video as always! Noticing you are not using a glove with your swings. Really getting that true feel
Good video Michael. What I would like to see manufacturers provide is the full specs of each shaft. The things I would like to know, above what is usually provided, are torque, launch, tip flex, kick point, spin, etc of their stock offerings. I have just had an experience where my G430 SFT (ALTA CB REG) was good but I was unhappy with distance. A pro advised - stiff, 70-80 grams, low torque (less than 3.0), an inch longer than standard and set loft at 9.5. The results have been counter intuitive. I have gained 15 metres off the tee and generally hit straighter shots. As a 70 year old golfer, this was an eye-opener. Unfortunately I have never used Trackman, or similar, and have no idea of my swing speed. Thanks.
I think a good thing to remember with companies like Ping is that they design and test their drivers with their stock shafts as the engine for both robots, and testers. You may be getting a 'cheaper' offering, but its one that was vetted for the head. Great video as usual!
Ping uses ENZO to design their shafts.
haven't watched the video yet, but my local golf coach/fitter told me that Ping says that they specifically design their heads to work the best with their stock shaft offerings. In other words, he said there is no need to upgrade the stock ping shaft. I'm pretty skeptical, so I'm looking forward to the results here.
But these are the Ping stock options not upgrade shafts?
@@AlTaylor-ot3lg yeah. That's kinda exactly what I was saying. I was looking forward to the results of the stock shafts. Sorry for the confusion.
Just been fitted today for the 430max 10k with the tour black xs shaft sooo much different to the current driver g400 lst stiff. 15hcp and definitely felt and seen the difference.
I've got the Ping G430max with a SST pured Accra Tz6 shaft- very pricey but worth every penny 👌
cool
Would love to see the difference in swingweights of these with the different shafts in, It could be huge and can have a big effect on performance.
I recently got fitted with the g430 max tour chrome 45”. My grouping of 20 shots was 25 yards. My old driver was a Titleist tsi3 with a VA nemesis 75 shaft at 46”, the dispersion was 105 yards across. My handicap went from 4.2 up to 9.7 with the Titleist. I have played 6 winter rounds and have yet to shoot above 78. The term drive for show putt for dough has been proven to be such a wrong theme.
Nice video. I believe if you had used the cb in an x it would have been right there. I just went through fitting and being 64 year olds, 4 handicap, my quick tempo , 87-90 mph , got the best results with the CB.
Lst driver tour black. Max 3 wood tour chrome and 3Hy hazardous red. Had full Ping fit. Fitting process great. Only had the odd ping driver and putter previously but now bag 13 ping clubs plus LAB putter
what do you think of the LAB putter??
@MichaelNewtonGolf went for the LAB Link 1 best putter l have ever had. Always liked the centre shaft style. Ping did fit me for a tyne C. Just don't like the soft face on these. Went all out on the LAB never spent that kind of money on a putter. But putting weakest part of game so went for it and was the best desicision ever.
I was going to get fitted for a shaft,but think I will just go with a stock shaft after seeing this. (Still ‘’fitted’’ so to speak, just using the right stock shaft) I am back after 13 years without playing, so 1 out of 10 is all I am striking ok-ish. Doubt a better quality shaft will make any difference to someone like me. Thanks for this video, very informative
I haven't watched the video either but just had a fitting in preparation for a Spring woods change - I got some surprising results from a 35g stock shaft - delivered 15-20 yds more and improved dispersion - 230-240 yds overall.
Sounds good
what shaft flex do you recommend for a 100mph swing?????? I bang it 250 yards.@@MichaelNewtonGolf
@@jeffyeah4256 doesnt work like that at all, speed is only a basic estimate of shaft stiffness, you need to remember like this video shows every shaft is different even if say they are all stiff ones. Go try them to find one for yourself.
When I was fitted for my G430 max, i was impressed with the range of stock shafts, each of which had quite distinct characteristics. I tried Alta, chrome, Hzrdus and Kai’li in stiff. For me the Alta felt like it had the most distinctive kick and had the best mid height flight pattern. After playing it for a while, I’ve found best results have been to lower the loft from 10.5 to 9.5 degrees, to control the height.
Did you notice much difference between the alta and chrome? Cheers
Just that the Alta had a distinctive kick as compared to the Chrome
I hit the alta today and felt like the tip was really active and I was hitting left most of the time, unfortunately that’s the only shaft I can try and I want to purchase this weekend
Felt I was hitting the alta so high too, maybe the rdx red?
Alta definitely launches high. I tweaked the driver down to 9.5 to lower the launch, but it’s still a bit high, but it’s pretty straight and the kick is very pronounced
What you call a toe shot versus what I call a toe shot are two very different things lol. Your toe shots are my center strikes. 😂
I’ve got a much better swing now compared to when I got fitted for the max. However, I think I’m producing too much spin now using the Alta CB. At the time of fitting, I needed the spin to counteract a hook, but I’m hitting very straight now. It’s really interesting to see the spin variations from these different shafts that you don’t often see in other reviews. 👍
When I was watching, I couldn't find what he was saying was a toe shot. LOL.
If you need a stiffer shaft the tour black or kai’li would probably suit better. For me the chrome felt a bit dead. Played the Hzrdus before in a TM driver but it was very high launching
I’d like to see the stealth 2 stock shafts next ..Good content 👍
I just had a fitting and was put in the Tour Chome stiff. It performed the best and felt the best for me.
Currious what is estimate of your swing speed....thinking of buying 430 10 K Max in next couple of months
I've always liked the factory Alta offerings. Nice with smooth tempo. Regarding spin, I always keep the face of my driver protected from corrosion with a light layer of chap stick or other lubricant.
did u try it without the wt in the back? peeps saying much better results
Just got fitted for a shaft by ping, they said it’s no flex. More like in between a regular & stiff at 65g. Gave me an additional 5mph club head speed. I think it was that kylie white shaft.
Id love to see that dispersion after you remove that huge left miss you called "user error". That would be TIGHT!
Man where was video earlier this year? 😅 I struggled so hard to choose between the tour black and the kai’li because no locations had both in the same flex anywhere! Thank for the video
What did you choose. I'm facing the same decision.
@@garyking7687 went with Kai’li. It’s very stable and still controllable with launches. I don’t regret it
@@kentao4 was it X stiff? That's all I can seem to find.
@@garyking7687 yes I went x stiff because I load pretty aggressively. May lose a few yards in 9° setting but it flys for sure with more control in the 10° setting. My swing speed is around 105 beginning of the season and creeps up to about 110/112 when I’m comfortable and swinging well.
@@kentao4 thanks that helps. I've got the tour 2.0 chrome in stiff fitted but the shaft feel way too wippie for me and I'm having to slow my swing down to be able to hit it.
Could you do a video on the PXG 0317T vs Mizuno 223 vs Takomo 201 PLEASE!!!!
Really want to know the softest irons!!!!!
I thought SR is a flex between S and R. Not a Soft Regular. Or are the Japanese specs different.
Wanted to like the Ping Tour but didn’t work for me. 🤔
Is the Ping Tour Shaft black 2.0 counterbalanced?
No, just the Alta that’s counter balanced
Pings stock shafts are poor..cheap
But Mike which one did you personally prefer all told? Feel, dispersion, length?
Great video as always
