It's called MAX 10K because it eclipses the 10,000 g-cm² combined MOI threshold, setting a record and making it our straightest and most forgiving driver ever. A fixed backweight, our largest head profile, and a Carbonfly Wrap crown help G430 MAX 10K launch the ball higher with less spin for consistently longer and straighter results.

Features & Benefits

• Straightest. Most Forgiving. Ever.
  The fixed back weight allows for the record-setting MOI as it drives mass down and back to increase forgiveness and optimize the center of gravity position, lowering spin and ensuring ball speed preservation across the clubface for added distance.
• Carbonfly Wrap Crown
  An ultra-lightweight composite crown wraps into the heel and toe sections of the skirt. Weight savings are reallocated to lower the CG, reduce spin and raise MOI for increased ball speed. 
• Largest Profile
  PING’s biggest head profile to date maximizes the USGA-allowable heel-toe and front-back dimensions while staying within the 460cc volume limit. This eye-pleasing shape helps square you to the target and inspires confidence to hit longer, straighter tee shots.
• Thinner Face With Spinsistency
  The shallower and thinner forged T9S+ titanium face is optimized for more flexing to ensure faster ball speeds and relies on Spinsistency, a variable roll radius innovation, to optimize spin across the entire face for added distance.
• Adjust Loft, Lie
  Trajectory Tuning 2.0 utilizes a lightweight, aerodynamic hosel sleeve that provides eight positions to customize your trajectory for maximum distance and accuracy. 
• Powerful Sound
  The multi-material head’s sound is less muted and slightly louder than the G430 MAX to give you a sense of even more powerful, satisfying tee shots.
• Trajectory Tuning Chart
  The lightweight, 8-position hosel enables adjustments for loft (±1.5°) and lie (up to 3° flatter than std.) to further dial in your ball flight for the best results.
• G430 MAX 10K High Launch (HL)
  In testing, slower-swing-speed golfers gained an average of nine yards off the tee from faster ball speed generated by the lighter system weight of the HL custom build (19g backweight, PING Alta Quick shaft, and Lamkin UTx Lite grip). The shaft length is 46" to promote maximum distance. The HL build is also available in the G430 MAX and SFT models.
• PING-Engineered Shafts
  The PING Alta CB Black offers mid-high to high launch, the PING Tour 2.0 Chrome mid launch, and the PING Tour 2.0 Black promotes the lowest trajectory. 
• Optional Shafts
  The Project X Hzrdus Smoke Red RDX provides a higher launch, the Mitsubishi Kai’Li White launches lower.
