PING G430 SHAFT OPTIONS TEST | PING G430 Driver

[@NovaScene]

I love that you have Kevin as the striker insted of the previous "drawer" guy! These videos are great! Thanks!

[@retlod]

G430 Max w/ Tour 2.0 Black was my fitting result. I like boardy feeling, low-torque driver shafts--they help me know where that club head is during my swing. Keep up the great work, guys. Love 2nd Swing and the Minnetonka store!

[@AlwaysYellFore]

I got the same thing. 65x. Hit a few at the range today and it went everywhere 😂

[@ramsin6938]

Great content guys, thanks. I was fitted by PING rep for G43O MAX 9degree with Tour 2.0 chrome 65, average swing speed 95-105. Definitely lower launch which is what I was after and hitting most fairways even on mis hits, G430 MAX is very forgiving and gets the ball out there as well.

[@paulm2885]

Stiff or reg flex?

[@aliasErEf]

Lower launch ? You must be playing near the sea shore in Scotland …cause everyone wants a higher launch to get distance….

[@stewartferguson3454]

I have the new G430 Max 10k with the Tour Chrome and absolutely love it, thank you for the review, keep them coming guys.

[@austinhamby8699]

I have G430 LST have had 3 shafts in it tour black stiff 65g and it seemed like a board and cb alta

[@austinhamby8699]

Also a fuji speeder nx green 60 g

[@juiceqc7716]

Fantastic content guys. I got fitted into the G430M10K with the Tour Chrome 2.0 (S). Not sure if it is the solution but it is definitely the solution for now.

[@ski3504]

Would love to see you demo the HL Alta Quick 45 shaft…

[@Traplordsosa]

I swung the kai'li and the Tour Chrome 2.0 65S and I have to say the Kai li felt like it loaded in the handle a lot more and felt heavier through the swing. The Tour felt agile and quick I really liked the feeling it gave me. I ordered the Max in a 9 with the tour chrome 2.0 I can't wait for it to come in. I had a G425 10.5 the alta was always too whippy and launched to the sky for me. I also felt I launched the G425 really high even with a tensei AV orange 65 G in it. My swing speed is 100-105 I can get going up to 113 if I am grinding driver swings but on course I don't think I will hit that kind of speed. I hope this set up will be nice and reliable for me! :) Such an awesome club. It feels like dynamite off the face and it's SOOO forgiving. Love the videos guys.

[@whaleshark2625]

How did you get on when it arrived?

[@sowhat5939]

how did you like the tour chrome

[@kmhgolf]

Kevin Kraft is great! Got my irons dialed in. And David Ko fitted me for my driver - ended up getting 60 yards after getting me the right head + shaft combination! Awesome guys at Columbia 2ndswing

[@shaunsampson9358]

Got fitted into ping g430 lst with tour black 75x. Ventus black 7x was my gamer. Very close but tour black had tighter dispersion

[@andersfrederiksen-winnipeg5516]

Just hit the 9 degree LST with the Tour Black 2.0 65X and man do I love that shaft. It just feels so stable!

[@parmanduke]

I have the Kai Li White and it's sneaky good

[@King_Of_Paintsville]

My 16 yr old son just picked up the PING G 430 today with the Tour 2.0 Chrome shaft. He spent a lot of time hitting the Paradym, Stealth 2, Aero Jet and the G430 and loved the forgiveness and sound of the PING.

[@erikbrown4698]

Went to 2nd swing in Columbia, MD and got a 5 wood with the tour 2.0 chrome 65. Absolutely love it!

[@chicagobob]

Do any of these come with the Arccos system?

[@randallpennington5976]

You need to do this same video on the irons and hybrids too!!!

[@jimmycharos3472]

I got fitted for the G430 max driver with the Ping Tour Chrome 2.0 shaft in a stiff flex. I swing the club on average 100 mph. It was the best shaft for me out of all of the stock options.

[@Traplordsosa]

such a good set up! I have the same on the way. I didn't enjoy the Kaili it felt really heavy in the handle the tour felt much more nimble.

[@mikeh7203]

What did Ping do to change the chrome to make it 2.0? I play last years tour chrome model how are they different?

[@carnivorouscanuck729]

Alta CB 55 regular shortened 3/4" head weight reduced by 4g and Winn Master Wrap Midsize installed.I intend to return to stock length,weight and grip.

[@lkae4]

Shorter shaft and lighter head is usually a very bad idea. Who thought that up? Midsize grip is not bad but Winns are a bit too squishy. Something like a Tour Velvet Plus 4 Midsize or CP2 Wrap Midsize is hard to hate.

[@darrenbell6376]

G430 max 9* paired with hzrdus red 5.5 60g worked best for me. It gives me mid launch with low spin and finds fairways for me. Never played a more complete driver ever throughout my golfing years

[@tomashmore4128]

Got fitted for G430 LST with the Hzrdus RDX RED 6.5, not a fan of the more boardy shafts RDX worked great for me

[@diemos322jones9]

I'm running the tour 2 0 chrome and it absolutely changed my game. I'm averaging 310 yards, carry and 325 roll. Driver went from something I never used to my favorite club.

[@2ndswing]

Love this!!

[@barryb6282]

Would love to see a video like this for the Qi10 and AI Smoke shafts. Just to get an idea of the characteristics. I want to walk into my fitter and have some clue what questions to ask. 😁

[@2ndswing]

Noted - we'll add this to the list!

[@josephkelch1332]

Kevin just fit me to the AltaCB on my new G430 Max. With my slower swing speed it gave me the optimum launch angle and distance. The others we tried did not compare well.

[@TimPaugh-k1d]

What is your swing speed? Have the tour chrome with a 95 swing speed. Thinking about switching to a regular shaft

[@retired8123]

love the ping heads. Unfortunately i don't like any of their stock shaft offerings. The worst stock shafts of all the companies by far. I tried a ping G430 with Graphite Design Ad Di and i absolutely loved it. Titleist has those as upgrade shaft options. Hopefully Ping figures this out.

[@mjmalone75]

Would you please do this for the new Mizuno drivers

[@TenPester]

The Tour Black 2.0 isn't that stiff in the stiff flex. Not as stiff as a Velocore blue 6S. Feels a lot like a Tensei AV Raw White.

[@philsgmedia6812]

Which driver was used?

[@spotmfd9431]

Just got fitted into the Ping 430 LST with a ping 2.0 black shaft. Never used a ping shaft but it was longer and straighter than even the up graded shafts.

[@fredster1449]

How fast you swing it

[@dak6028]

How does the tour chrome 2.0 compare to Ventus blue velocor?

[@alunacara1]

I tried them all...Kai' li white is what I was fitted for and it's a stiff 60gram , it's a rocket 🚀

[@ohwowthatsgood]

pretty obvious choice there for you. nice test. Have you done this test with each mfg current driver options?

[@owendavis7601]

How would Chrome Tour 2.0 compare with Alta 65CB in reg flex? thanks

[@scottw9267]

I feel like I've heard the kali is the lowest launching option? My fitting, the ventus black felt like it loaded more than the kali... I would have thought the black 2.0 would have been similar

[@JasonEdwards-d9x]

I tried out both Tour Blk S and Kali and Kali is heavier and launched lower for me and is what I needed. The Tour Blk felt good thought. My swing speed is ~104

[@scottw9267]

@user-ox4wj9yb7d same swing speed here. I actually bought chrome bc I was coming off a shaft that I felt was too stiff. I've started to wish I went with black tho

[@rlbjr]

@Kevin So would the Ping Tour 2.0 Chrome be similar in profile to the blue boards(mid kick pt with firmer butts/tips and softer midsection) like the Ventus Velocore Blue, Hzrdus Smoke Blue, KaiLi Blue?

[@davidlewisTN]

Got the Tour Chrome and happy with it. I believe it’s made by Aldila.

[@rogeliomendez9135]

Been trying out the g430 LST. Sounds amazing, but similar results to gamer

[@jwalkerC21]

I wish you would break it out by different swing speeds

[@2ndswing]

Thanks for the feedback! While there is a general breakdown of clubspeed for each of the shafts, we don't like to categorize them too firmly by swing speed because swing tempo and transition also play a big role into the shaft that's right for your swing. The swing speed is just a part of it

[@sowhat5939]

I have the ALTA CB it feels a touch soft my sing speed is 102 to 105 when warmed up I won the in a club tournament

[@2ndswing]

If that's what you like and it works for you, then keep using it!

[@sowhat5939]

@@2ndswing it does ok but I think I need a shaft a little stiffer

[@Tywithay]

Have the Tour 2.0 Black in mine.

[@fredster1449]

How fast you swing

[@Tywithay]

Avg. around 110mph. Have the Black 2.0 in X-flex in my G430.

[@rawsick]

G425 is still amazing, yeah not the best sounding but I’m gonna skip the g430. Gonna wait for the next line up before I get rid of my g425

[@jacobmccain8082]

Same for my fairway/hybrids. Couldn't do the driver. Hurt my ears.

[@randyposs6281]

Who cares how it sounds.....does it stay in fairway?

[@King_Of_Paintsville]

From what I’ve gathered not much difference other than sound between the 425 and 430. My son just picked up the 430 today. If he had a 425 I would have recommended him to do the same thing. Overall Drivers just don’t gain much numbers wise from one year to the next or in this case every other year. Rick Shiels just released a video of the Big Bertha vs the Paradym. Roughly 20 yards of difference is all Callaway had gained over the past 20 plus years. Rick said in over all feel he preferred the feel of the 90’s model Big Bertha.

[@aliasErEf]

This is exactly what I hate about experts fitters 2nd swing you don’t to consumers any good here. Différents shafts are for différents swing speeds and players plural form. Here, 3 different swingers at 80’ +, 90~+ and 100+ would had been better to get a realistic choices for each category.

[@dobster5819]

Totally agree.

[@djs803]

It's not just swing speed. If you pay attention It's about launch angle and where in the shaft it's stiff, and weight of shaft. Swing speed is minor these days.

[@Fufiloofa]

no the shaft is the transmission, NEVER the engine, that analogy needs to go away to the place they should put all swingweight scales.

[@john1959ism]

Confusing.
