I've watched several videos today on the the 430 Max 10 K. Your video is, BY FAR, the most informative. Congratulations! You continue to be my "go to Source" as to what newly released clubs really offer. Thank you...

Great review as always. You do a better job than anyone of explaining what a club does under the different conditions and strikes we average golfers make.

Best technical and data review I’ve seen on any driver. Just the facts, thank you very much. One of my playing partners just purchased the 10 degree last week and let me hit it a few times. Just amazing in how much more distance I experienced with this club. I’m 74 years old and have a slower swing (85-90) but hit pretty good and usually keep it in the middle and straight or a little tail with my Rogue ST Max at 11.5 degrees. A great drive for me is about 230-240 total. This past week I was driving the ball very well and tried the 10k on #18 after I had already possibly my best drive for the day. Same ball, same conditions, and hit the G430 10k honestly 20 yards past my Rogue ST tee shot. And I did it three times in a row. 😳. Wasn’t planning on buying a new driver, probably ever. But 20 yards increase and it’s just so easy for me to hit it…. It’s just crazy. Subscribed. And if anyone cares, I’m a 14 handicap (crappy putter).

Great in depth review. I love to see a comparison between this and the G430 max, now that would be interesting.

Gotta say jay I really enjoy how you review clubs. It’s so bland watching others read the brochure then hit a few balls with almost not data. Good job man!

Fantastic video as always Jay, I tested both the 10k and the Max recently and for me and my swing the G430 Max with the weight moved gave a tighter dispersion for me and was slightly longer. Both great drivers but I think there is a G430 Max in my near future 🙂

Love your reviews. Doing the slower swing speed tests along with the off-center hits is more representative of us "regular" golfers. Would love to see the battle of the Max/10k's, including PING, TM, Callaway (close) and the new Mizuno.

I got fittet into this 10k driver.. It was a no brainer for me, consistent Smash factor at 1,49 10 out of 10 fairways.. I got it with the Tour 2.0 Grey. Sving speed was on average that day 105-110mph So now im just waiting for it to arrive :-) Keep up the work, love you indeept reviews. Greetings from Denmark

Great Introduction. Definitely want a Max vs 10K video.

Jay if you were in showbiz you’d win an Oscar every year and if you participated in any field that offered it you’d win the Nobel prize every year. You’re that good !! 😜

You and mark cross field the only reviewers that have not become a shills for the brands.

Another one you push me to buy this year. Great review.

It is by far the best driver I have ever owned. It has been in my bag since mid February. I have never had more confidence with a driver in my hand stepping up on to the tee box. Not only is it forgiving but it spins so much lower than pretty much any Max model driver out there even the TM Qi Max 10K. Thank you for the review! I also happen be a Mizuno guy too with my irons and wedges. Have the 221/225 combo and the T24 wedges in that beautiful Denim Copper finish. Cheers!

I love seeing a review with some real golfer metrics. When others say they hit it off the heel, it's like 5mm and was an "awful strike" for them. Are you going to do similar testing with the other driver releases of this year?

For the amount of work you put into your channel. you. deserve a million more subscribers.. ?????

Thanks. Love the understated British humor about the potential of exploding drivers.

Very informative and fantastically presented as always, Jay! I recently added a G430max 5W to the bag and it was so easy to hit I thought why don’t I upgrade the driver too! 😅 this video might have been the final push to do so.

I just bought the G 425 MAX. Price dropped down nicely and people forget it also is in the 10 K moi area. Pretty nice buy at current prices.

Very informative video. The bit that showcased this was the off centre strikes and the 20mm toe strike was unreal! £599 is steep for this however it’s set the bar for all the rest to follow in 2024 and onwards..

Always appreciate your reviews. In depth and legit testing vs following a script the manufacturer wants you to sell to get another free driver next year

Nice review Jay. Still gaming my G400 Max. Would love to try the LS version. The 430 Max 10 k might therefore be the ideal solution. Love my Ping G400 but it is loud.

I’ve played Titleist drivers for 20+ years and just switched to the ping lst and wow what a difference ( using the same shaft in fitting) . 15 yards more in carry plus 10 yards in role , very impressive!!!! Look’s totally different but feels great and performs awesome. I’m a 1.6 index and don’t switch clubs unless it’s a huge gain …. This was . We’ll done Ping !!

I cant wait to try it out. Thank you for the detailed review!

LOVE your videos and your discussion on face strike impact for each club. Would love to see your roundup on all brands in each type ie all Drivers out now compared and pick what you thought best etc??

this is possibly the best in depth review of a golf club i have ever seen but you missed one part of the club middle top only saying because that is where i seem to be hiting it at the moment my bad thank you for this review

Brilliantly detailed review! PING couldn’t do it better.

Incredible review with detail. This is the first review I have seen of yours. Great job.

Great review. Lots of good information. The detail you go into testing forgiveness is next level.

Thanks Jay always love your comprehensive reviews

Great video, love to see all these new drivers compared.

Jay, thanks for the videos! Great job on your video editing, and of course, the content as always!

Just bought this 10k driver about a week ago. Hands down the best driver I’ve ever had in my entire golfing experience. Tour 2.0 black 65x shaft with 10.5 head. Hit bombs and keeps the spin steady…no dippers. So stable. Dropped the paradym…no looking back. Way better.

Yes. This product and the timing is sort of confusing. I can’t help but to wonder if Ping had to get this out to offset losses to the new callaway and TM offerings.

Great Video, would be very nice to have a direct comparison with g430max

Techy video please. I've always liked Ping drivers, but I've never had one in my bag. I may give this 10k driver a go and see how well it works for me.

Great review Jay! Made me plan a fitting 👍🏻

great review Jay I think this years Driver lineup is gonna very competitive across the board will be tough to choose which brand to go with just wish the prices were not so outlandish 800-900 canadian for a driver is getting pretty steep cheers all from Vulcan Canada

Fantastic info with your testing 👍

Tried the Ping 10k after no joy with the Taylormade or Callaway range. Was shocked how good the numbers on Trackman were. Ordered one and despite not liking how it looks.. finding fairways is far more important....

On paper, this sounds like a must try for me. My SS and launch numbers say LST, but the forgiveness of the Max offsets the LST gains, especially on my local courses that aren't exceptionally long. I'm in a Fuji TR blue. I tried the Black but didn't get on with the kick point. The 10K might let me keep the blue and lower my spin. I guess I better start returning those pop cans for the deposit...

I,d love to try it , with a ALTA QUICK 45 ..shaft...in the mean time I am gonna stick with my TSR.3..Brava shaft..Reg 50.. goes like a Bat out of hell...

Great review!!

Great review and I definitely don’t need another new ping driver but…..

Best reviews on the internet bar none

Great video … as usual, you can translate in understandable numbers what the marketing is saying. I have only one missed question: what about the club head speed … I mean, I do not have 110mph :))) … is there a counter effect? I will try anyhow,

Hi Jay, great review as always! Have you got this in the 9° head for fitting purposes? Also, have you got all the shafts for fitting including the Tour 2.0 Black in Stiff Flex? I haven't been able to try this shaft yet and would be interested in coming to see you to do that 👍

Great video as usual 🙏🏻

Their best driver I just can’t bring myself to buy, it is just too hard to look at address.

I got fitted for the g430 max 10 k and ended up with the SFT ping driver

Gonna give this a try. Have a steeper angle of attack and struggle with high spin. But not good or fast enough for the low spin heads (102-105 swing speed) and I have tried them all. This may be sweet spot

What a machine i love these comments i couldn't use it just how it looks 😂 as it sails past hits the fairway inspires with confidence Ping yet again results perfect....she maybe a little large but she aint bad looking....carbon wrap love it ❤

I was fitted for the 430 max, and must be the only player that didn’t like it, found it insipid, might have been a poor fitting? It spun up, didn’t have a strong flight, tried it with various shafts, same result, Play a TSR2, and that’s fantastic. You will soon be reviewing the new Qi10, some thoughts. TM say the new carbon face fits the head better, is that an acknowledgement of a design fault in the Stealth, seems like it in light of the red faces dropping off in their droves. MOI of 10,000, Stealth was 8500 which is now then LS version MOI, also the max plays shorter both in distance carried and length of shaft because of the hosel construction; whilst folk want forgiveness, loss of distance to the tune of 20 yards is an expensive mitigation. Where do I get 20 yards from, I’ve tried it against the standard version, be interested to see your trial when doing your usual excellent all around the face stuff. I wont be trying the Ping, the Titliest is just so good, looks better and trustworthy. Enjoy the next few weeks of testing, busy beyond compare no doubt.

Impressive numbers. I rarely miss need high so maybe this would be a good option. Higher launch with low spin is a winning combo for myself. Do you know if Ping has updated fairway woods coming out?

As someone gaming the G400 Max, I love it but I know it goes too high and I would benefit from a lower flying version of it… I wonder if the G430 10k is the answer…

Great review. Thank you.

Hat the Fitting with this Driver. What shall I say? The best I ever hit. It‘s now in my bag. Check!

Would like to see the comparison between this and the Qi10 series

Great review, do you think this would translate with someone around my CHS of between 135-140 MPH?

Thoughts on this for a 90-95 speed?

Just had a fitting about. 1 week ago, maybe should have waited a bit longer to do it lol This could have been perfect me

So this is a Max LS!

so what settings do you need in the max to make it a 10k moi? it seems to me the 10k model is longer, straighter and more forgiving, and I would have thought you can manipulate shot shape via the loft sleeve anyway? so it still seems to make the standard max redundant, unless I'm missing something? thanks for all your work on this.

Very informative video. Should I replace my Ping 425 sft driver? Im always looking for more forgiveness😊

I played g430 lst. What's interesting is the lst has smaller back weight at 23g and still weighs more then the g430 10k, I find the 10k launches a little too high for me, if I swapped out the 28g weight for the 23g weight in my last, would that help lower lainch? I already have it set to 8 deg. I can tell the 10k is especially more forgiving on off center hits, but wondering how using the lighter back weight will affect this driver. Also, would setting it to flater setting would it help with minimizing slice

I’m currently in the G430 LST and spin is just a touch low (averaging under 1,700rpm), even at 110+ mph swing speed. 9 degree head. Would you say that switching into the 10K head would give me just a bit more spin?

They have improved every model but we still basically hit the ball the same distance.. handicaps aren't coming down.

How far would Rory hit a 3 or 4 year old driver? Are his numbers increasing year on year or has his speed changed? A few less burgers or pizzas and more time in the gym?

This vs TSR2 who reigns supreme?

Happen to know the adjustment settings needed for the regular max to reach this? Great review

Excellent review: What is the minimum swing speed voor this driver? Now playing g400 at 10.5 en is working perfect. But im tempted..😅

I’m a woman playing off 2.4 with a club speed of 80mph and swing around 5 degrees in to out (which I’m working on!). Have a stealth 2 but struggled all year with it, despite trying different shafts and settings. Typically have good efficiency (centre or toe hits) but very variable flight paths with stealth 2. Experimented back to my Ping G410 plus at the weekend - all fairways hit with a lovely straight flight but too spinny (which was why I changed!). Think I’ll go back to Ping but hard to find reviews for something more akin to my swing speed (where is Sophie Walker when you need her!). Anyway, your knowledge of these faces and clubs is fantastic - would you think the Max 10k would suit me best (perhaps in a 12 degree to get the right spin window) or would the standard Max be a better option given the adjustable weight? Obviously I’ll test both, but there’s a limit to how much testing you can do so any thoughts much appreciated on what would give me the straightest flight given my swing flaws. TIA!

I had to get rid of my g425 sft gave me far too much spin 4500 rpm. Thought it was just me and my pro couldn't get it under 3000!

Would love to see this compared to the g425 max that “Total MOI that pushes a record 10,000…” (directly from Pings website) to show why they are now really pushing that it’s 10k when it’s already been done… is it lower Spinn with 10k MOI or what…

Thanks!

You mentioned the Max has a weight position that is 10K, but not all of them. What position is equal to 10K?

I’d like to see what a high handicapper would do with these two clubs

I doubt you or I are hitting miles further than we did a few years ago. Bit like your Mizuno blades. Just cosmetic and marketing spiel. A blade is a blade and drivers are pretty well maxed out.

Do you think if you changed the back weight in the regular MAX (25 grams) down to a 22 Gram weight it would lower launch and spin?

Presumably 10k is the MOI number? Just guessing... Also a moveable track would be very beneficial for CoG trackers.... Like me!😮

If one was better than the rest, the pros would all use the same one. Trouble is they are under contract

Good review young fella. Like others said - too pricey, my rant is - if everyone stopped buying new gear for 6 to 12 months the price would drop, but sheep are sheep personal opinion.🐑🐏🥒

These are your numbers. Is there going to be a difference for everyone. I doubt it. Surely drivers are maxed out now. Just find a fit with head and shaft. They are all basically the same. Hype surely. Pros change because they are under contract as staff players. Look at the 3 fairways they use. Some are relatively ancient.

What happen if your swing speed is 95mph? Is G430 10K still functional or lose distance due to its natural low spin tendency? Or, do I have to go HL version?

All great …. Except that violent Ping sound that actually hurts my ears. I can’t deal with that unfortunately. Unless you telll me that’s no longer the case Jay?

Jay, will this finally kick my G400Max out of my bag?

I get bullied for the sound of my g425 max. Maybe I’ll be trading up if the sound is better.

Compare against cobra dark speed max.

how club reviews should be done.. thanks

Do all 3

I missed the dispersion

Would you say this driver is worth £550

G400-9,900 MOI G425 max pushes 10k 😂 G430 Max 9,000 MOI G430 Max 10k is 10K Stuff is so confusing which to go with as a new golfer

Are you allowed to say it's marketing bullshit? Or are they really better year on year?

PING performs to be sure. But that is just SO ugly behind the ball

Boring, we could all cope with that! The compare review would be this, the Qi10 and the new Mizuno Max.

Kindly remove the background music. This irritation alone is enough to make me not want to watch your channel

I couldn't play the Ping purely on how hideous it looks

Hi Jay Great Video 👍, feel like I understand the difference with the Max👍, (for the first time) Please go into the Full Tec info, Question if I fit a lighter head weight & swing it faster will I hit it Further🤔, Thanks Dickey 9hcp 76year senior golfer

Ping - again a fizzer! They have to learn to work with carbon and forget partially titanium drivers!
