Head to head

PING G410 vs G430 irons

Choose the G410 if a used set in your hand and flex costs less and you want the higher flight of its weaker lofts.

Choose the G430 if you may want PING to add or replace a club later.

PING's tables give the G410 and the G430 the same offsets (4.6 mm at the 7-iron), lies and lengths, club for club; the G425 came between them. The G430 is stronger through the set: a 29° 7-iron against 30°, a 41° pitching wedge against 44.5° and a 19° 4-iron against 20.5°. It has about a degree more bounce in most irons, and its wedges run 45.5°, 50°, 54° and 58° where the G410's run 49.5°, 54° and 58°. A stronger loft flies lower club for club; it is not more help on a mishit. Both score 3.5 of 5 here. PING still builds G430 clubs to fill in or replace one in a set; its G410 page is gone, so the G410 is a used buy.

    Choose the G740 instead if you often hit it thin or heavy: PING's larger head has a wider sole.

    PING G430

    PING's game improvement iron before the G440, with the same 4.6 mm of offset and the same 29° 7-iron; PING added a 41° pitching wedge to fill the gap its stronger lofts left.

Loft, club by club

As each maker publishes it. A stronger loft flies lower and longer; it is not more forgiveness.
