Ping G430 LST, 10.5 degrees

“On Wednesday, Mickelson was spotted with a 9-degree Ping G430 LST driver and 15-degree G430 Max fairway wood in the bag during a practice round — two clubs we haven’t seen the six-time major winner wield in the past for good reason.”

“After weeks of searching for a replacement after a crack sidelined his trusted driver earlier this season at the Truist Championship, Fitzpatrick may have found his newest driver, a Ping G430 LST that he added to his bag this week.”

“That being said at the start of 2023 he was spotted with a Ping G430 LST model as well so it will be interesting to see which model stays in long-term. Both models are fitted with Graphite Design Tour AD DI-7x shafts.”

“His normal gamer has an actual loft of 7.75 degrees, while the new one that is set to feature this week has a standard loft of 10.5 degrees, although that is believed to have been adjusted down to around 9 degrees.”

“The same week Ping “supercharged” Finau’s 7.75-degree G430 LST gamer (45.25 inches) in Houston, Oates and the Tour team also built a shorter 10.5-degree G430 LST driver at 44.5 inches.”

“Finau is adding another G430 LST that is three-quarters of an inch shorter. The 10.5-degree head is in the minus adjustable hosel position, making it closer to 9 degrees of loft.”

“Hatton teed it up at the Dubai Desert Classic in January with the Ping G430 LST driver (10.5° degree head lofted down to 9.1°) with a Mitsubishi Diamana TB 60TX shaft.”

“His Ping G430 LST driver has remained, but the Callaway Quantum Ti 3-wood and Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond 5-wood have replaced his TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway woods.”

“Realising he had no need for a 3-wood, Finau employed a 7.75-degree Ping G430 LST at 45.25 inches, as well as a G430 LST that was three-quarters of an inch shorter.”

“Finau won last year with a Ping G425 LST driver (Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70TX shaft) , but has since moved into the new Ping G430 LST with the same shaft .”

“Other than that, it's very different because I tried the K from a couple years ago when the (G)430 came out, and I just couldn't get the spin down at all.”

“Starting at the top of the bag, Finau plays the Ping G430 LST driver , 9° (set to a big minus), which is the low-spin version in the Ping G430 range.”

“Ping have therefore built Finau a second G430 LST driver with different specifications, meaning he will have two different driver options off tees.”

“Over the last season or two, he has eventually settled on the Ping G430 LST , with the driver in the bag of several professionals on the circuit.”

“Going up to 7.75 degrees of loft and adding 10 grams of glue internally to the heel on his Ping G430 LST driver solved part of the problem.”

“In addition to his 7.75-degree Ping G430 LST at 45.25 inches, Finau is adding another G430 LST that is three-quarters of an inch shorter.”

“Theegala averaged 302.8 yards (276.9 metres) off the tee with his Ping G430 LST driver, which is the low-spin version in the G430 line.”

“Resting comfortably in Scott’s bag were three drivers: TaylorMade’s Stealth Plus , Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond and Ping G430 LST .”

“It started with the Ping G430 LST , a low-spin, tour-proven monster that plenty of elite players have trusted over the last few years.”

“For Hatton, it wasn’t the ball speed that sold him on G430 but rather an improvement in overall consistency in terms of spin rate.”

“Of course, accuracy off the tee helped set up those approaches, and Conners was on the mark with his Ping G430 LST driver.”

“Day was using a Ping G425 LST driver for a while but at the moment he has a Ping G430 LST driver , with a 10.5° head.”

“The Canadian is now using the Ping G430 LST , which has 9° of loft and features a UST Elements Gold 6F5 shaft.”

“The 10.5-degree head was in the minus adjustable hosel position, making it closer to 9 degrees of loft.”

“The only clubs he’s keeping in the bag are his Ping G430 LST driver and TaylorMade Stealth 2 7-wood.”

“Going back to The American Express and TGL in January, Clark was using a Ping G430 LST driver.”
