$399 at most retailers $549 MSRP
The Ping G430 LST (Low Spin Technology) is engineered for players who generate too much spin and want a flatter, more penetrating ball flight. A forward-biased CG and slightly smaller 450cc head reduce spin by approximately 200-400 RPM compared to the G430 Max. This model pairs exceptionally well with faster swing speeds and provides the workability that skilled players appreciate.
