Are they going with the Nike volt green color? I thought I seen that somewhere not long ago. If so, I think it’s gonna look really good!

There were some g430 covers spotted overseas on eBay that were volt accents

Yeah that’s what I was thinking of. A lot of people will hate it but I liked the loud Nike colors. I think ping is straying away from their norm a little bit. We’ll see.

I'm clearly in the minority here but I do not understand the obsession with the sound of a driver. I can't believe someone would factor that into their process of getting fit and/or buying a club. 


Do you feel the same way about choosing irons based on “feel?” Either way is valid, but opinions differ widely.

Harkens back to the Rapture, which I liked.

I was a Ping guy for 30 years until lately when all of their irons heads kept getting smaller and all looked alike.

 

I respect the Company and I hope they bring out some new innovation.

For me the sound / feel in the G400 was superior to the 410 and 425

 

lots of pro’s still with the 400

Playing the g400ls now and been a TM fanboy for years. But 9* and big - yet can launch super high or low, love the look and sound while you can feel the face flex on center strikes. 
Never experienced that with a TM driver. Or any others for that fact.

- Something that continues to go long off the tee in the fairway
- Something that is a fairway finder when needed and long
- Something that high, consistent and helps with par 5’s
-  Something to help with long par3’s and short par 4’s

-  Something metal, lots of them and go the gaps I need
- Something metal, 2x of them and helps me 120y and in
- Putters - limited rotation because I cannot afford misses

Golf is what you make of it.  Play grateful and accepting. We are all lucky to have it.

Rather than expecting lets all try and appreciate instead. 
Treat people the way you want to be treated

Ping will be black white silver. Just like the 425.  There staff bags have been black White for the last 40 years. They aren’t straying to colors. 

The G and G30 line had Blue, G400 line was copper, G410 line Red,  what do you mean they don't use colors ?

I'm hoping the fairways sit more open in the default setting.

I know, you really have to set it to the small minus to get it square and then your left 13.5 degs of loft. I might get my G430 3 wood digitally lofted to 16 in the default position then loft it down to 15, if possible.

G425 was their worst driver release in a long time, especially for sound. I can only think that the G430 will sound much better while marginally increasing performance. I can't wait to try the G430 LST. 

I switched to a G425 from basically every driver on the market for a long time lol. Could never find the performance I was looking for. The 425 driver is performing exceptionally well for me. I can’t imagine how far along my game would be had i found a Ping driver before this 😂😂.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love PING drivers and have used them for a while now. I just think the G425 was a bit of a let down with the sound, but that's completely subjective. I seen marginal gains in the G425 over my G410, but I just preferred the sound of my G410.

I get way less bad feedback about the turbulators (even if I understand why sbdy would not like them) than the sound of the 425 MAX driver.

 

actually just had a customer today who went for the g425 driver and particularily liked the turbulators

Por que? The look is too outlandish for your taste?

I dont think its a total deal breaker but combine it with sound and the fact that every other manufacturer puts out an equally good product, its two factors for me that ultimately eliminate the pings. Oh and they also dont actualy do anything either. 😉

Fair enough.  I whole heartedly agree that some features on clubs are used as gimmicks to lure in buyers.  😂 Hammer X would be the exception! 😂

Turbs frame the ball nicely. Shouldn't be a deal breaker, the sound, maybe.
