Just upgraded to a g430 3 hybrid from my old Wilson. Got it fitted in my course pro shop. What an absolute bomber. So easy to hit. Fantastic club and well worth the money.
Wonderful review on course. Ping seems to have finally spent some R&D dollars to improve their overall acoustics! I play Ping 425 Woods and Hybrids and they are straight forgiving machines for me. Mid Handicap 15 that would easily give up a few yards for better dispersion ! I will probably wait till their next revision now that they are focusing on their acoustics. They have done a nice job with their new set of irons. THANKS LEE !!
I’ve got G425 7 wood. Mainly use it off the tee as it’s safer than trying to hit driver. It goes a long way to the point I’ve had several people ask if it’s a 3 wood lol.
Just got the new g430 with a Oban Purple shaft.. its insane...played the G425 .7w all last year, so reliable, and easy to hit, also used off the 1st tee to relax, now, the 430 is going even further...also have the 425 3 wood and 4 Hybrid..all brilliant ..👍
I gotta say this Lee. I have G 425 hybrids here . I did try the newer G 430 hybrids and to be honest I did not like them as well for some reason. I have a slow swing speed maybe 85 . There seems at least to me that there is some kind of difference in the sweet spot or hitting areas on the faces of the two different generations. Sticking with the G 425's here. Good review my friend.
Appreciate the honest review. I recently replaced my 3W (Sim 2 Max) with a G430 5W. Was looking my for something easier to hit off the turf. We will see how it translates when I get it out on the course. If all goes well, might possibly replace my 4H (Sim 2 Max) with this one as well. Really love the look of it at address
Good idea. I actually like the G 425 hybrids better than the G 430 ones. There is something slightly different in the hitting area of the face on the two generations.
Have 4,5&6 425 hybrid, thought I d get a 7 to complete my set, lef5 it too late as out of stock now. Might try the 430 if my 7i doesn’t improve as the 6 hybrid in the short time I have had it has been brilliant easy to hit low dispersion and accurate.
G425 5H owner/user. I don't see changing to 430 as there isn't anything within the new clubs that makes a noticeable difference on the golf course. Would still rock 410 if I didn't catch a deal on a 425. And on a side note don't sit on the Cleveland XL Halo hybrids, mostly talking the Hy-wood, 3H, and 4H. Easily one of the most forgiving hybrids on the market and at a price that can't be beat.
Last week I tested cleveland xl 3 hybrid and it was spinning at 6500 rpm. The fitter then handed me the g430 and I was spinning at a proper 3500 rpm, gained 20 yards. G430 has the perfect spin for holding greens while cutting through wind. This club I am buying this weekend no doubt. It is so easy to hit.
I just got a smokin deal on a g430 3h and it's a game changer 227 carry and 234 total yardage off the deck and that's in high 50 degree weather. Goes high far and lands super soft and stays surprisingly straight into a head wind it doesn't balloon. Best hybrid I've ever hit
Smart move on keeping the 425 Lee. I think that extra spin will help you hold the greens a little better. The extra 2 yard carry is meaningless, especially when you take into consideration the standard deviation. Your reviews are getting better and your choices are getting smarter. Well done.
I have the g425 driver and love it (when I can hit it correctly). I lucked up and caught g430 3hybrid and I am in love. Looking to add a 2 hybrid. Forget woods for me.
Hi Lee, the wrapping came off my new Ping G430 5H yesterday lol!! I already have the G425 4, 6, and even 7 hybrids! I've been after a Ping 5H for months now, and whilst I could have saved myself c.£75, I've taken a punt on the newer model!! Initial feedback is positive, and definitely a more muted sound at impact! To be fair, I quite like the sound my current G425 hybrids make... Another reason for opting for new model hybrid was because if stuck with G425, I'd be constantly searching for correct numbered hybrid throughout round lol!! That said, I could have just purchased another branded headcover I guess!! 🤣 Playing at Close House on Saturday and Sunday, so will be interested to see how the G430 5H fairs!!?? Cheers Andrew
Got this club earlier this year…Game changer!Absolute Weapon,but expensive as all new tech clubs are and very disappointing that these Massive Golf Companies continue to rip off customers.
I have the 425 Driver, 5w, 7w and hybrid. I'll be swapping Driver out purely because the sound really grates on me now. The fairways and hybrid I don't mind so much and the way they perform I can't see those going anywhere for a long time
Same here.... worth getting some $$ for 425 at 2nd Swing toward 430 based on improved acoustics alone. Finally Ping is making some advances in sound and feel.... including irons i230 and i59
@@JohnnyDSR I'll do a trade in definitely. I've never had a driver that performs as well as the 425 so if the 430 can give me similar with better sound I'd game it in a heartbeat
Never owned a hybrid. What makes more sense for a higher handicap play. 4 or 5 hybrid. I have standard graphite shaft. What shaft option on the hybrid makes sense?
I tried this vs. the 425 today. 430 was ridiculous. I actually didn't like the 425 at all. I'm really irritated that the 430 costs so much because it was the best hybrid I've ever hit.
hi great review...... I am trying to decide between the Ping G430 or the Stealth 2 HD in the fairway woods and hybrids....your thoughts ? would love to see you review the Stealth 2 HD..... cheers from Canada
I had a fitting today at AG. I said to the pro that I like the Stealth, the Ping and the Callaway. He took five looks at my my pretty average swing and messy dispersion then fitted me for the G430, he didn't bother with the others! 😃 I asked about the Stealth again and he said, the Ping is just great and he was right!
I am playing with the G 425's also. I certainly wouldn't be switching either. Not worth it. G 425 sound has never bothered me. They are powerful and very forgiving. Best hybrid I have ever played with and I have tried plenty of them. I have the series in both hybrids and woods and love them. Good review!!!!
@@LWG I really do hit the Pings better than the other makes. I have used Taylormade's before too and did well with them but not quite as good as the Ping's.
6 months in This club has changed everything for me I have a 4h and 6h i use it from 180 choke down 2/3 swing 200 full swing to 230 w the 4hybrid And its so much easier n more accurate than my irons id rather have 180-200 left than 150-170 lol
Nice !! And you will buy it homeless man 🤣🤣 nice new shiney stuff !! But and i mean but, spring is coming and like me your lady will be getting her own back in the garden 😁 cheers mate
Great ping reviews Lee but the people want Lee in the trees back😁. How about either on your or Dan's channel you getting short game lesson. You've lost confidence around the greens.

The honesty of your reviews is refreshing. If i do buy hybrids this year, I'll look at the G425 and save some money.
Thanks Dan
You will be picky if you want a 7 hybrid can’t get one, none left @ Ping!

Great on-course review. Just got fit for the G430 today. I hope it performs as well on the course as it did on the sim. Thanks Lee.
Lee you are nailing the club reviews !!!
I have the G420 and love it.. but I just ordered a G430 I’m so excited for it to get here !
I was converted to the G425 hybrid from Mizuno CLKs as you know and i still love mine. Haven't found anything that is anywhere near it.

Great to see some new videos coming out, Lee! 😎
Thanks 👍
Great review 👏🏼 👏🏼 definitely looking @ having this in my bag & it’s family members.
I am definitely buying it, but I don't know how to choose a loft. I can't find any videos on it. I am thinking 4 or 5
Best review ,,, getting fitted for one this weekend, after seeing this review. thanks
Love your videos mate, just found the channel and subscribed straight away.
Thanks Ryan glad you enjoy them
The G430 is now only $10 more than the 425, I grabbed the 430 and it feels buttery. Love it!
Great Video. And mentioning Gavs house as well ☺️☺️. Nice video Lee
Thanks Matt

Just ordered mine to replace a G410.
According to my club pro, the G430 is outselling the Stealth 2 10 to 1...!!
In the 410 at the moment for 4 hybrid and 5 wood, feel like there could be a shopping spree coming.
Great content! What shaft was in that Ping? Need pic of shafts in these reviews :)
Can’t remember but was a stiff and noted for future
What shaft were you using to demo the ping hybrid?
Fantastic Review, well done Lee
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have the 410 and although a good club very tinny noise which I don’t care for. Is the sound and feel a lot better as I might need to order one.
Sound absolutely an improvement. Feel is so subjective that you would need to try it yourself.
Is there any real difference between g425 hybrids and g430 hybrids that would justify an upgrade? Sound doesn’t really matter to me just performance
I typed this question before I watched the video… looks like I’ll be sticking with my G425

6 months in

200 full swing
to 230 w the 4hybrid
And its so much easier n more accurate than my irons id rather have 180-200 left than 150-170 lol
Have the 425 in 4-5h and 7w. The 425 hybrids I'm not sure are any better than my TS2's were but the 7w is the best club I've ever hit minus the sound.

Your right I have lost a lot of confidence around the greens
I'd love to buy a few of these hybrids but first I need to rob a bank.
I was converted to the G425 hybrid from Mizuno CLKs as you know and i still love mine. Haven't found anything that is anywhere near it.
