- I did NOT expect this from Ping in the 2024 G430 Max 10K Driver. So many golfers have been saying this could be Ping's most forgiving driver to date, but is it? Well, I did not expect to see these updates from Ping in the new NEW G430 Max 10K. Could this be the most forgiving driver of all time? The standard G430 Max driver is arguably one of the most easy to hit golf clubs on the market yet Ping have launched the ultimate in forgiveness helping golfers hit longer & straighter tee shots, but does it actually help you to hit the golf ball longer, straighter and gain yards with your driver? Find out in this honest and unbiased review here on how good golf! I test this new 2024 driver against the G430 Max to see if the claims are true, just you wait to hear what I have found out!

*I NEVER EXPECTED this from PING…but it’s here…*
I must admit. I traded in my Srixon MK II ZX5 for the Ping G-430 10K.....No matter what swing I had, it was the same baby fade always in the short grass.....dispersion is insanely nuts with this driver.....Ill take 235-242 all day.....IMO!!!! Great work as always.....
Ahhh interesting!! Thank you 🙌🏼
Hit this in the bay last week and loved it, going back to try other shafts next week. It's too good.
Just bought the driver today. Its easily the straightest, most forgiving driver I ever hit, with very good dispersion. The fact that this driver also gives low spin and good distance means it is probably the most complete driver ever.
What shaft would you recommend to pair with this head?
I went from an Acuity 400cc driver (some Dicks Sporting Goods brand from many years ago) to the Ping 10k.
It's been so much fun hitting this thing.
It was tough dropping that kind of money but I've had no regrets...beautiful driver!
which shaft did you use
I traded in a couple clubs in along with my Mavrik max and got the Ping G430 max 10k. With a stiff shaft 55gram. I only do a 3/4 swing at max and my carry and dispersion is crazy. I have a natural heavy fade or slice. With this club no joke I went out yesterday and was hitting straight shots some nice little baby fades and some small draws. I was in the fairway way more and a couple times just a foot or two off the fairway. I played some of the best golf I have played as it was so easy to have great drives that gave me a great 2nd shot all day long. I know I made the correct choice with this driver.
I thought it sounded great in the studio. I would liked to have seen impact position on the face on GC Quad as it makes such a big difference to ball speed, launch and spin rates.
Good point!
my fav driver of the year, i had em all. its so easy to hit fairways.
Hey Alex, nice review. I have had the Ping G430 SFT 10.5 degree with the Tour 2.0 Chrome 65 shaft Reg since end of April. I liked the 430 Max when I hit it back then (slightly longer in distance), but I kept the SFT in the fairway more often. I was able to play with both as demos before I purchased. I have loved this driver from the start. I have not had it on a launch monitor so I don't know what the actual stats are, but I plan to do that soon, as I am going to be looking at replacing my irons. I can say that most of my drives have ranged from 270-290 TOTAL distance when measured while playing (I'm 73 by the way for reference). Again don't know the actual carry distance until I get on a launch monitor. Not sure I see much advantage to the 10k at this point. I think I would rather concentrate on increasing swing speed.
Yeah fair enough! Good to hear your thoughts on this, thanks for tuning in!
Thanks Alex. What shaft were you testing in that 10K driver? It looked like the Alta. Was it the CB version and what Flex? If you’re trying to get over the 300 yard number maybe trying it with the Tour 2.0 or Hzrdus Smoke shafts that Ping also uses might do it or use a shaft you are using now in a your current driver to see the differences. I assume you used the std 10.5 loft but tweaking it down a degree might make a difference, assuming you would still be happy with the launch angle and dispersion. It would be an interesting comparison to see your numbers on another video.
Thank you for the reviews. I’ll be sure to reference them when I look for a new driver. However, as I fine tune my swing, I’ll keep what I’m using, Ping Raptors.
Thanks for tuning in!
Alex, what shaft did you use for this demo and have you custom fitted it to yourself now ( to what ? ) and has it gone into your bag ?
It’s in the bag yes!!
He used Ping Alta shaft
I have a Ping 400 Max 10.5°. Love it, but I don't feel I can take a full swing, as it goes way right. I'm looking for something forgiving, but allows me to really swing hard. Any suggestions?
How strange, could it be issues like your ball position / set up?
You need to get fitted properly. Prob the wrong shaft for you
Hi Alex, I game the G410 driver which I am happy with. So your'e saying that its not worth the investment (bloody expensive) to upgrade the model?
I will never say it isnt worth it haha, but it is totally up to you, there is always something nice about a new model but if it doesnt help you improve then why do it? if that makes sense
I had the G410 and loved the distance but had some dispersion problems. I went with the 425 Max and am sorry I did. I lost about 10-15 yards with it. I am going to look into the 430 Max 10K. If you really like the 410 then I would stick with it. I am sorry I got rid of mine
Sounds much better than other PING drivers, we always joke around with ping players, saying stuff like coffee tin drivers😅. Great review once again Alex, keep up the great work mate
Hahaha, love that. Appreicate you watching, thank you!
I considered this driver,,, but went with the Cleveland Launcher XL2 instead,,, for me the Cleveland out performed the Ping in every instance...
I think they may struggle with sales with this driver, rmp £599 but being offered by most golf shops for £569. TaylorMade Qi 10 Max £499 why would you pay £70 more when both are 10K 🤷♂️
Go try both and you’ll see why you’d spend more. Better in basically every category except looks I’d say. The QI is very good looking. The Ping is a Unicorn 🦄
I much prefer the Ping, both looks and performance are better for me. But if you are on a budget, consider the Mizuno ST Max at £449. Superb Club.
I have no idea why anyone cares about the sound. The point is to have a club that works well. Every reviewer talks about the sound like if the sound is good then its not a good club.
I agree! I don't care about sound either. As long as a driver hits it long and straight, I don't care what it sounds like.
Same here who cares about the sound wtf
I care about only two things with a Driver: distance and accuracy. That’s it. Sound isn’t a concern.
Looks to be more to come from this driver for you Alex with a fitting. Some of those numbers can be improved. Get that peak down and decent angle and you will surely find yards!
Yeah definetly!!
How does it compare in forgiveness to the AI Smoke?
I loved it to be honest and thought it was more forgiving but it depends on the model, Thanks for tuning in!
In your opinion, can this driver hit 10 yards farther for an amateur with slow club head speed golfer.
Would you say it’s worth upgrading from a g425 max?
I wouldn’t like to say yess however i am loving it to be honest
@@HowGoodGolf more forgiving and longer?
If this driver was $500 I would order It now. But at $600… they are insane
$100 is the cost of one weekend round of golf in most metro areas. I could see not wanting spend $600. But if you're willing to spend $500, I'll tell you the G430 10k max is worth the extra $100. Best driver I've ever owned.
@@edr4973 I’ve compared It to my current driver and besides a little better accuracy it’s the same…. No driver is worth 600… and just because golf courses are absurd charging what they charge now.. doesn’t mean it’s ok. After re thinking It I won’t be paying more than like $350 400 for a driver. Max. And golf courses I’m a member at one. Can’t fathom paying 100 plus…. While the industry claims to trying to grow the game…
I tune in because the content is always good
i have had this driver for three weeks. It takes a few hits or days to get used to it. It has to be hit slightly differently. it won’t fade as much as I am used to, don’t know why but i can guess its the technology or alike. Love Ping, love my new driver and the extra roll out is brilliant too :-) nice flight too, sound very strong.
I was fitted for the 430 max and really didn’t get on with it, found it spinny and insipid, must be the only person on the planet that only kept it for 2 months, then sold it, luckily for more than I paid. My issue with Ping is the very limited shaft choice, none of them work for me. I’ve since tried a pals SFT with an upgraded shaft, it was better, but doesn’t compare to my TSR 2, which bombs drives and very straight.
Intersting, yeah heard very good things about the TSR 2! Thanks for tuning in!
I love my G430 Max!
Yes, but Ping drivers were ALWAYS dead straight. I’ve been using Ping drivers for many years. Now with the 430, but not sure there’s any real justification for going with the new Max from Ping.
Another great review and a massive headache coming on.
Glad you enjoyed it hahaha 🤣
Swapped my G430 LST for this and loving it. The slice is gone
you already have it with Ping G425 Max "In the MAX, total MOI pushes a record 10,000, largely due to a 26-gram tungsten movable weight that shifts the CG lower and farther back and can be secured in the Neutral, Draw or Fade setting."
Taking the plastic off a driver is defo golf porn 😂
haha 10000% - i'm glad you enjoyed that. Thanks for tuning in!
The prices are utterly ridiculous , drivers costing over £500 and basically a new release every year . I don’t see anything new in terms of technology over the last 4 years and clubs these days look 10 years old after 6 months
How does this compare to the 430 max
Coming soon
Gonna be the best 2024 driver.
Ping! Always a contender!
Thanks for tuning in!
I have G430 LST but I have the 10 k max on order
I am 78 play most days high handicap 😊
Deff fancy trying this and the Qi10 👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in!
Subjective opinions in this. Too much Matt Watson and Carwow.
Ahah sorry
Oh shut up and hit the thing 😢
