Improving the tin can falling down concrete stairs would be a start. The sound is offensive to many people and has stopped them purchasing. 

I'm a huge Ping guy but I don't care for the sound of the G425 either. But, it's probably in the bags of more guys at our club than any other driver. The guys that own them say they don't love the sound. Guess some people just like loud drivers.

There are suspicions that the next wood line may not be until Jan 2024, FYI.

 

Well that turned out to be spectacularly incorrect…

Mildly underwhelmed.

Reminds me of the 2017 version of the M2. Was hoping the turbulators were gone for this release.

Yeah, I don’t care for them either.  From the pics, this does look a little better than previous versions though.

Is this the Japan version maybe ?

Could say that about Callaway, Titleist, Mizuno, PXG and Cobra this year. The Stealth has quite the tech story but even then it seems like a lot of people don't love it. There's just not much else to be done with drivers IMO. COR has been capped for so long.

Does anyone know release dates on the G430 irons? I know people have seen them and hit them. 

Jan/Feb 2023

COR is no longer the measurement that drivers are held to. It’s CT -Characteristic Time

Either way… artificial limit. I say just let physics do what physics does. Unobtainium doesn’t exist. What every the rebound limits of metals are explore them. Tired of the USGA…

[PowderedToastMan]

It’s a yellow G425. Yellow is known for its driver improving qualities.

Eff Nike for bringing this color to golf…

If you were making a knock off ping and selling them for $200 this is the colour scheme you'd choose. Also colour on the crown? Nice one ping, must have been reading up on "How to make your new product as visually unappealing as possible".

The same pictures have been floating around for a few weeks now but I'm still not convinced this is the actual driver. I've been called out in other threads but other than the neon green/yellow color, the pictures look edited and chopped up to look like a mash between the 410 & 425... Put the two drivers together then look at these pictures. You can see something is taken from the 410 & the 425, then changed the color and that's it. No noticeable new tech, no new design, no new font. Just mashed it together and changed the color. The only thing we have to go on is the headcover and even that could be wrong...

You're spot on.....some elements are definitely photoshopped from other previous PING models and other design elements are either embellished and look worse or just not there all together.

honestly, this is ridiculous

I saw the G430 collection on Friday and it’s nothing to loose sleep over!  Color change and they did some dimpling/dragon fly stuff on the crown (towards the back).  The bottom looks absolutely the same.  
 

January release.

 

Wouldn’t let me take pictures.

I looked at the pictures above and it doesn’t.  A lot of similarities but the top is different and small differences in the bottom.  Color scheme is accurate and looks very similar to the current driver.
