Just ordered T350 with Mitsubishi Tensei stiff shafts to replace most of my mixed G400, G410, G430's with AWR steel shafts. They have been money. The Ping 410 graphite PW and 430 50* will stay as they are perfect. I found the T350 to be a cut above, longer, higher, amazing feel off the club face. Definitely not clicky imho.
I liked the t350 but was more consistent with the g430. Was playing some old ben hogan blades that I had no business playing so my hc should improve significantly
I prefer the Pings for feel and especially sound. The Titliest had a very high pitch “click” which surprised me a little. Looks: Titleist Sound & Feel: Ping. Performance: Ping but very similar.
Really interesting video - particularly as someone who is considering a new set of irons and a mid to high handicap. How do the G430s compare to the JPX 923 hot metal pro?
I found the Ping to be slightly longer and Titleist slightly higher but very similar. I did not like the high pitched clicky sound from the Titleist however. My pick, G430.
Why in these type of reviews don’t you comment on the playability of the short irons. With the t350 having a forged face would that not be a big advantage over the g430 irons. I tested the g430 short irons and was disappointed with the lack of feel and control around the greens. So they are off my short list despite being long and forgiving.
It’s a fair point and one we would like to focus more on by getting out on the course for reviews when we can… sadly many brands only offer a 7i for fittings which is what we use for reviews. 👍🏻

Great news, both a great irons, tough head to head this!

Funny, I see other reviews that choose the t350 over the Ping G30.
Yes, could have swung either direction for us subjectively, however numbers favoured the 430 on this occasion

Numbers were close for me but the G430 was slightly more forgiving and to me, the Titliest was much more higher pitch clicky.
can you guys do stealth vs the new P790, a lot of people i know are stuck inbetween
Sure can although we believe there will be a new iron out in janaury
Really? Intresting, I wonder where the new iron is going to fall in terms of category.@@AFGOLFSTORE
In general, I agree with your assessment. Titleist sure dont feel like a forged face. Very clicky.
I prefer the Pings as well.
can u compare ping g430 5wood versus TSR2 5 wood versus Callaway Apex UW 17 or 19 degree?
Those are the two I am looking at right now along with Srixon ZX4, Taylor Made Qi, and Mizuno JPX.
Some quality irons right there!

Thanks. The jpx hm pro and g430 might be more similar in power. 923 hmm pro certainly will give a different feel. We can add it to the list to test
I found the opposite performance for me. T350 was longer by 4.5 yards average than the G430. The landing angle was higher in T350.
I found the Ping to be slightly longer and Titleist slightly higher but very similar. I did not like the high pitched clicky sound from the Titleist however.
My pick, G430.
Me too I got the same results I love my t 350s
My t350s are in tensei red A flex. Struck correctly they are soft.

He was not really warm up starting with the 350, would be interesting with the ping first
The Ping looks like a meat cleaver, the Titliest like a blade. Played them both and felt the 350 was the hands down winner.
