Choose the MAX 10K if off-centre strikes cost you most.
Choose the MAX if you want to set a draw or fade with the weight.
G430 MAX $417 · G430 MAX 10K $449.98, each with its shop and checked date
Both are 460cc G430 heads in 9°, 10.5° and 12° and both hands, with the same eight-position hosel that moves the loft up to 1.5° either way, and PING still lists both while stock lasts. The MAX 10K is the one built for mishits: PING's largest head shape and a fixed back weight set low and deep took it past 10,000 g-cm² of combined MOI, and PING called it its straightest, most forgiving driver, so it scores 4 of 5 here. The MAX keeps a 25-gram weight you can move to draw, neutral or fade, about 8 yards either way by PING's figures, so it scores 3 for forgiveness but higher than the 10K for slice help.
PING's straightest, most forgiving driver before the G440 K: a fixed 28-gram back weight set low and deep in PING's largest head shape took it past 10,000 g-cm² of combined MOI. In 9°, 10.5° or 12°.
PING's straightest, most forgiving driver before the G440 K: a fixed 28-gram back weight set low and deep in PING's largest head shape took it past 10,000 g-cm² of combined MOI. In 9°, 10.5° or 12°.
Both are 460cc PING heads in 9°, 10.5° and 12°, with a hosel that moves loft 1.5° either way and a tungsten back weight that sets draw, neutral or fade: 26 grams on the G425 MAX, 25 grams on the G430 MAX.
The G430 MAX 10K is built for stability above all: a fixed back weight set low and deep and PING's largest head shape took it past 10,000 g-cm² of combined MOI, and PING called it the straightest, most forgiving driver it had made.
Both are 460cc G430 heads with the same eight-position hosel, the same seven stock shafts and an HL build for slower swings, and PING still lists both while stock lasts.
Both were their maker's most forgiving driver head, built round a combined moment of inertia of 10,000: PING says the G430 MAX 10K passed 10,000 g-cm², and Cobra says the DS-ADAPT MAX-K reached a combined 10,000 without saying how the figure is made up.
