A good set of irons is the backbone of your golf bag. Most of your golf swings will take place with an iron or pitching wedge in your hand, so getting consistent results from them is vital to improving your game.

PING irons have a reputation for consistency, forgiveness, and distance. While this seems to make them a no-brainer choice for those looking to buy new irons sets, a lot can change year over year, and it is important to keep auditing new product lines to ensure that manufacturers continue delivering the quality for which they are known. So today, we will give a PING G430 Irons review, covering all of the following:

• Key features
• Pros and cons
• How to buy them

Let’s dive into each and determine if PING still lives up to its reputation for excellent irons.

Key Features

We spoke to Ryan Stokke, the Director of Product Design at Ping, and had him run down some of the primary points of focus for the PING G430 irons. Check out that video below:

The following are the most notable features:

Heel/Toe Weighting	Tungsten weights at the heel and toe provide extra stability at impact
Forgiving Sole Design	An additional degree of bounce throughout the entire set improves turf interaction for cleaner contact
Faster Face Design	17-4 stainless steel used to strengthen the face and allow for more face flex, generating increased distance and higher max height
PURFLEX Technology	Seven flex zones to allow for more free bending, increasing ball speed across the entire face for better distance and sound

Let’s talk about our experience with the G430 irons, and whether or not these features come together to create a truly great irons set.

Pros and Cons

After getting some experience with the G430 irons ourselves, and listening to some buyer feedback and expert reviews, we’ve uncovered the following pros and cons:

Pros	Cons
Impressive forgiveness while maintaining a more compact head Solid distance Consistent dispersion thanks to an incredibly stable head at impact	Not as workable as the i230 irons Aesthetics are a bit divisive

Overall, the PING G430 irons prove to be exactly as consistent, forgiving, and competitive as we expected them to be. No irons set is perfect, but the PING G430s have broad appeal for just about every type of golfer, with the small exception of better players that could have issues with their more aggressive loft adding too much distance to their iron shots.

The combination of forgiveness, distance, and workability creates arguably one of the most balanced irons sets in the industry. While there are clubs that exceed the G430s in some of these individually, there are few other irons sets that can stand up against the sheer versatility.
