The PING G430 LST is a 440cc low-spin driver designed for skilled golfers with faster swing speeds who need to reduce spin for a more penetrating ball flight. Its compact, tour-style head pairs a forged variable-thickness face with a lightweight Carbonfly Wrap crown.
Designed specifically for faster swingers (105+ mph) who generate too much spin. Testing shows 200-400 RPM less spin than the G430 MAX, translating to more rollout and total distance without sacrificing launch.
PING's first use of carbon fiber in a driver crown, saving significant weight that's redistributed to the perimeter for increased MOI. The compact, round, symmetrical footprint with a taller face produces a confident look at address.
MyGolfSpy ranked the G430 LST in the top 5 for distance among high swing speed testers — 36% had it in their top 5 for carry yards and 45% for total yards. The combination of distance and above-average accuracy is its calling card.
Moveable sole weight plus an 8-position hosel sleeve allow fine-tuning of launch, spin, and shot shape. The LST rewards precise adjustment more than the MAX due to its lower baseline spin.
