Did a fitting today, and purposely didn't look at the brand/model of club I was hitting prior to swinging. These were the irons I hit the most consistently with. Not surprised to hear a positive review of them from someone far better than me!

Hey Al, guess what? You averaged 7 yards longer over the G425 irons! I just checked out your review of those, and the average carry was 198 yards. I guess Ping wins! (and lovely vid, mate!)

Solid and entertaining review!! I just purchased G430 irons 4 thru PW and absolutely loved my testing results. Spent nearly three hours at Club Champion International in New Orleans and although PXG's 5G irons were a close second, I chose the Pings due to a more consistent shot pattern. I'm ditching ten year old Callaway RAZR Tour irons and wow, what a difference in today's tech. Thanks for your review and I would encourage folks give these a try!

I agree with the afterburner comparison. Im using Ping425s and definitely wont be rushing out to update any of my bag thats for sure.

Got fitted for these today and loved them. Walked in wanting p790s…tried taylor mades, Calloway’s, mixunos, and these felt the best and gave me most distance.

The PING EYE2 irons I purchased in the early 80s were the greatest golf clubs I ever used. Period. I foolishly sold them to an acquaintance who would never begin to appreciate them for what they were. I now play rarely, and my once 2-handicap is but a cherished memory. But I do hope to play more often in time, and my acceptable Calloways will be traded in on a set of these with True Temper steel shafts. PING ROCKS.

Got fit with these last week, upgrading from my current 1990s Ping Zings. My 7 iron carry’s 145 with medium height on a clean hit. The 430 7 iron carried 175 on a clean hit, and 165 consistently on all 4 day shots I hit, and the exact same on two thin shots, the difference, every single one was dead straight. The dispersion is absolutely insane with these on mishits. They weigh half as much, requiring a lot less grip pressure for me. I felt I swinging half as hard, half speed, half effort yet my CHS was identical to my zings. With the elevate shafts, drastically higher, can’t wait to get my set and start sticking more greens.

Amazing review as always! Looking forward for your G430 LST review.

Got custom fit for my new Ping G430’s today. Absolutely brilliant club and I do love the design. Was able to carry the ball further with these over my current irons (carry + roll out)

I have PING Gs. Super clubs. I tried G425 and just didn't get the same feel... tried the i59s in the summer, now they're a nice club... the i500s though are the best iron I've had the pleasure of hitting.

I absolutely see the burner comparison as well. I was thinking the same thing before you even said it.

Club champ at my local plays G410 irons. Plays off 3. Just hits it straight all day. I prefer the look of the G425 if I’m honest. But S55 have similar forgiveness levels.

I hit these today and "WOW" !!! Sending an 8 iron 150m over a tree into the green is confidence inspiring. They sound better, look better and feel better than the g425. also 7-10 yards longer is not a joke, however I do think they are power lofted.

I'm gaming Ping G15's right now. I'm a huge fan of Ping. I am 100% going to try these out at the golf store as soon as I can because I'm a due for an upgrade on my irons. Thanks for the review!

The spin/descent angle is remarkable with these extreme strong lofts. Ping really did some remarkable work with these

I’d be interested in your thoughts of this club vs the new mizuno jpx 923 line

AL I have never been a ping guy mostly because I couldn’t afford them. I had several golf buddies playing the Ping Eye 2 irons and they always beat me. That should have been a clue. These look like they are worth a test a the golf store. I am still very interested in trying the club that you reviewed as “Broken” the Wilson D9. Thanks for sharing such good and enjoyable content.

That’s strong. My current gamer 3-iron (I know 🙄) is 20 degrees! That’s the 5-iron in the G430!!

I’ll stick with my G425s for another cycle! Great vid AL!

A wise old bloke once told me to pick the best and learn to love the looks. Sure, he was talking about cows but it still sounds reasonable with golf sticks. As itnstands, with steep descent and stopping power, are these irons designed for american target courses? What if I need a bit of run?

I don't own any Ping clubs, but whenever someone asks me what they should buy, my only suggestion is Ping - I figure even if they don't choose the exact optimal club, it will still be better, on average, than anything else they could have mistakenly purchased. My only comment on these clubs is they destroyed the gapping at the shorter end vs the now older 425s

It would be nice to know what shaft the reviewer is using as well. Distance and deviation from center line are as much a function of the shaft vs. club head design.

Another great video Alex. If you took the G425 irons in the power spec lofts, you have the G430. Also, the color theme is much better with the 425. Not a fan of the old Nike green color. IMO, the 425’s are better all the way around.

Love how you guys get the clubs before us in the US. Gives us something to look forward to. Please review the new Srixon irons as soon as you are able. Nice vid

Recently got fitted for irons and this one randomly popped up and I verbally reacted to how it looked behind the ball. Lol. Great club but it looks better from the bag. :P

It would be kind of cool to see a similar look to the club, but as a blade. Very futuristic almost

Really busy looking cavity area.Not sure if I like the 'fashion' that some iron makers think I need.For this lil'black duck an iron ought to be metal except the hosel cap bit.Funny video Al!

Well the lofts are creeping again. Would just dropping the loft by 1 degree on the 7 iron automatically give you the extra yardage? My 34 degree 7i is now basically a modern 8i. The ping does sound great though.

Awesome reviews as usual💪🏻⛳️⛳️

Hey Brother! I haven't looked at one of your videos since the first COVID lock down days, when Boris was PM! Years actually! March 2020! Anyway your backswing looks shorter, more compact, way less violent and all over the place! I say that to say this. Your swing looks nice, now! Still hitting is a long way with plenty of swing speed and nice strike factor! So not sure I am attributing all that to the Ping Club which in my humble opinion looks mega-unattractive and would be better suited in a ''Transformers Movie'' than in my Golf Bag! Continued success with your channel, thanks for posting and all the vey best! Liked and subscribed! How's dat!

A high speed/high handicapper, I’m glad I have the G425s. These G430s seem to be headed towards the *super* game improvement category, and don’t look as good either.

On paper with all the improvements specified on the new clubs. I went to try out today i525, G425 and even i59. None beat my i15 ! It could be I got used to the i15. As much as I would like to reward myself with a new set of clubs, but no successful.

I’m more interested in those codechaos 22 BOAs. Are they comfortable after wearing them for a while. I tried them and found the top around the zipper was poking me in the ankle, but I like the look 🤷🏼‍♂️

Bought a set as a new golfer and love them. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Quality and funny, as always, Al. You should've had 100k a long time ago, mate.

Here’s a question. I’m playing with my Ping G 2’s fitted to me in 2005. Should I look for a new set of irons ?Steel shaft mid flex ……does the steel fatigue or am I just older and don’t hit the ball as far.

A much more interesting review would be to compare these clubs with your current playing set, especially for accuracy and ball flight. Now, JUST SUPPOSE the results turn out better with the Pings. Would you put these clubs in your bag? If not, why not (i.e. what are the pros and cons of this design for a good player). To be fair, none of your peers does this type of review (either), but I think it would be much more informative if you all did. Thanks/MG

Did ping allow you to disclose the irons already? Cuz no one else has shown any images of the irons yet

The lofts are really ridiculous. Seem like nice clubs, but I can’t understand how one would set up their wedges. I would have loved for Ping to use the new lower CG tech mentioned but with the 425 equivalent lofts.

As a higher (29/30) handicapper, I’m glad I went for the i525s. Not a fan of gimmicky looking clubs. More to go wrong. I base this on my experience of the old i20s with the weights that fell out of the back of the clubs.

Hi Al great review also watched the driver one. You got any idea when the release date for uk will be?

I love PING and play the G425 range. If these looked better I’d switch but these irons are so disappointing in looks. I’ll hold on to my G425.

I wonder if the launch goes down and spin goes up if didn't use CB Slate in the shaft? Get a little bit more carry but I'm sticking around now as a subscriber.

A couple of quick questions. How do they feel chipping and how loud are they.

I got a buddy that plays off 15 and he really likes his stealth irons and I think they look better too.

I think I good get 165 yds out of it. That's 10 nore than my JPX 921 HMPros.

I would like to see the spin and decent comparison with each iron in the 425 set with these stronger lofts.

Good review Al 👍 any news on the I230 as you seem to be getting stuff much earlier down there?

Playing the i210's, these look good but any idea when you will get the i230's to try and when are they coming to Aus.?

Great video Al, what shaft was in the 7 iron? It looked like a carbon shaft to me 🤔

A 29* 7 iron equates to about a 6 iron in my current set of Pings … I would think they would go further!

Hey, I love all your video's. Do you had a timeline for fixing that dent in the screen?

Not sure I’m digging the cosmetics of this g430 line so far overall. Driver looks very busy and irons maybe too techy? I do love that Ping went back to regular number style on sole. Do not like the outlined traced numbers on g425 and i525 irons. Performance though looks outstanding so maybe I’ll get over it lol

Hi my friend. I just wanna ask about the shaft. Should I buy the steel 850R or graphite S? Manh thanks. I used steel 950R and that made my arm tired.

You will always need a GW if the PW is just 41 degrees. Nobody is going to gap this PW to a SW. So the labeling is just getting silly now, just rename them all with the iron below (so the PW becomes 9i) instead of introducing GW1 and even GW2 into a set.

For comparison the loft of a Ping Eye 2 seven iron is 36° and five iron is 28.5° The Ping Eye 2 PW is 50.5° So why exactly does one need a seven iron that carries 200 yards instead of 150 which is what I get with my Ping Eye 2?

Great review and looks like a winner, how did they compare to Stealth and Wilson D9? Keep the reviews coming!

while i was reseraching the g 430 irons i came across the cost of steel and graphite g430s so i asked for a pre sale quote from House of Golf for 7 clubs. The quote came back at $320 per club for graphite and with tax the total is $2400 ! so what makes these irons one of the most expensive irons on the market??!! i did not order them yet!

If the descent is decent and spin then why not crank the lofts?

What’s the deal with +10 yards? Just pull out the 7 iron vs the 8.

OFFSET CITY...... if had zero offset I'd try a set today and prob get one

Player with these new irons 7 iron 200 8 iron 190 9 iron 180 PW 170 Volkey 50* 115 yards lol Nice huge gap lol

With those wild strong lofts this new G430 should be sold as a 10 iron set starting with 2 iron to gap wedge so that gap wedge ends at 45 degrees.

Easy to get better yardages from newer clubs. Just lower the loft like has happened for 20 years. Pitching wedges were 48* loft. Now 44 or less. A 27* seven iron is not really a seven iron now is it? But fine, whatever sells clubs is what matters. Let’s visit a set of irons in 2022. Sets start mainly at a 5, sometimes a 4. They now require a gap wedge in every set. Hybrids take the place of irons or 7w and 9w. I just ordered a new set set of irons but they have a 46 degree PW. They start at a 4 iron. Hell the 4 iron is really a 3 iron in disguise.So I will not be able to hit just like my old clubs 3 iron.

I'd love to see you review the i230 irons!

lol - you crank the lofts, they go further but then you have issues lower down in your bag and need more wedges!

Here’s my thoughts on room, the one thing I don’t like about simulator is how loud room echo… and dark? I’d like to design the ultimate simulator, 3 d, daylight, sound dampened,numbers specs on separate screen, artificial, realistic grass, actual sand traps….

Great vid Alex , thanks

41 degrees for a PW 😂… need to carry 4 extra wedges to get some gaps covered in that case. Wouldn’t play these because I can’t stand the look, but wow those are long.

This is kinda what the taylor made m-4 do. Got a stronger loft and come off hot but land soft as well. I like them so far but I bet pings are a tad better. I love my ping 425 max

Al, you’re the Ricky Gervais of golf! One thing I know , if you ever come to The States, I want to party with you Cowboy! That’s a quote from the movie “Stripes”. I work at a golf club here in Naples, Fl. so, you always have a standing Tee Time! Cheers, Russ ⛳️

We need a Jpx 923 review ASAP

Ping has always been golf royalty since I started playing golf... and that was 50 years ago! Trust it implicitly.

pretty impressive it maintains spin at 29 degrees, but overall, i have always hated the sound and feel of basically every ping iron except i210, so ill pass, cannot stand a giant open cavity at the back these are perfect for 90 percent of golfers but we enjoy feel and looks more lol

Hi guys. New Mizuno HM vs g430. Which one is easier iron???

Have the JPX 921’s Love them!!

Crank those lofts and yell “GET OUT THERE BABY!!!” 😂😂😂

G'day @Al, Are you testing the i230 irons soon? ☺️

2 gap wedges needed😮

Loft jackin?

Really easy for these manufacturers to advertise distance increases....change the lofts. They have all been doing it. I have a set of Callaway Mavrik's which are also cavity backed, game improvement irons. It is always fun when I step up with my buddies on a par three and we all pull our our irons and they are "shocked" when I pull out a 9 iron when they pull out 7 irons and we all land it near each other. The lofts are as follows: 5 iron - 21 degrees 6 iron - 24 degrees 7 iron - 27 degrees 8 iron - 31.5 degrees 9 iron - 36 degrees PW - 41 degrees. These are all around 1.5 to 2 clubs up from normal lofts. Normally a pitching wedge has a 46 or 48 degree loft. I don't want to claim it is false advertising but it is misleading for sure. It is giving golfers a false sense of "improvement" on distance when they aren't actually improving but they are just clubbing up. When you hit an 8 iron you are really hitting a 6 iron. Callaway, Taylormade, and now Ping all have at least one set of clubs like this now. Callaway Mavrik, Taylormade M4, Sim2, I don't doubt Titlist and any of the other big name brands don't also have a set, I just haven't gone down that rabbit hole. As long as you know they are doing this, that's okay, but you may need to add another wedge in your bag otherwise you are going to have a massive gap somewhere such as having a 46 degree attack wedge and a 56 degree sand wedge. You may need to find a 52 degree wedge to fill the hole.

G425 was looking good for GI irons. Huge step back for the design. This is soooo ugly..

Cobra forged tec vs ping G 435 irons would be nice to see.

Hopefully they do this in the different loft versions as the i500s ect

I don't see the point in delofting irons for "more distance" because you just end up with yardage gaps lower down your bag. I think there should be a rule where each iron has to be within a certain degree for it to be stamped that number iron. There shouldn't be 7 irons at 31° and others at 26°

Bring on the on course head to head. I think you need to take them outside and play a par 3,4 and 5. One ball with your own gamer and the other with this club. Irons only.

Whoa is Whoa not Wow lol... keep on rockin 💪

41 degree PW? Now I need a another GW between my PW and GW… They do look ok and seem to work quite good too.

awesome they look great just bought a set of irons. Gutted

G430 has stronger 7i than g425 and they got back to 4degrees of differences between clubs. So on one hand you lose increased gaping advantage for slower swing speed and on the other hand you end up with 5 WEDGES!!! 41 deg PW Rly? Even keeping current lofts why not call 45 deg club a PW and have this 29deg club be 6i (which is either way 2deg stronger than my 6i ;). Works the same and not having half of your bag as wedges :D

Enjoyed that!

Step back aesthetically. Stronger lofts a turn off for me as well.

Looks like they just change the number on the end.

41 degree pw is insane, how many extra wedges are you going to have to carry?

I just wonder to what degree this club is a "game improvement" iron, because I just do not see many players capable of swinging a 29 degree 7 iron at a 98 mph swing speed. If the "average golfer" has a swing speed of maybe 80-85 mph, I would think more loft would be better. (Maybe "Game Improvement for Strong Player??"). My 7 iron is 36 degrees and that is fine with me.

Mate, if I hit a 7 iron 215 yards. I’d say forget the driver unless you’re club is a really long course

So this is basically an iron set you could start with when you are a high handicap player and basically just continue playing?

What’s going to be the cost on these per club? US.

Looks like a soccer ball to me

At 98mph club speed, of course you will get spin, heigth and 50deg descent angle. These clubs are meant for much slower swing speed.
