G430 Irons

[karstens_ghost]

Starting a thread because we know they're coming. Probably yet another tiny incremental change with irons that have been fantastic.

 

Probably a bit of yellow?

 

Anyhow, if anyone knows anymore about them, it'd be interesting. We've heard about zero, and these are the best selling irons Ping makes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PING stamp on cavity bumper, G430 on hosel. Cleaner cavity, only featuring visible carbon panels.  Less yellow than the driver.  "Flex zones" is the tech story.  Lofts strengthened, 41 in the pitching wedge. Power spec, retro spec still available but less loft gap between options than in previous iterations.  UW/SW/LW nomenclature seemingly retired, wedges will now be labelled as 45,50,54,58 respectively.

Sweet looking irons

Been keeping my eye out on new irons

Still hitting the G400 good but looking to upgrade

Looking forward to the tech story with these.

 

I may have to go with the Retro specs with a 41* pitching wedge in the regular irons

Sounds more like a 9 iron to me

Good looking. If Ping keeps all the ingredients that make the 425 point-shoot, these should be a big hit. Just fix the sound!

[ShortSticks]

Yes please fix the sound.

Not too much different but they do look nice!

Ping is going from 44.5* PW to a 41* PW? That is so annoying and such a gimmick. 

[Strategery]

Those look ridiculously horrible, almost PXG-level horrid.

Yes it is!  Now spec wise they will be so strong lofted, they will be like the Callaway Mavrik's!  Their 5-GW set is now 6-PW, UW, GW, which is 24 degrees to the 50 degrees setup.
