Good PING Golf Shafts for a G430 MAX Driver

If you’re swinging a PING G430 MAX driver, you could be a lot worse off. These cutting-edge drivers offer the best of the best, and most advanced technological innovations in the modern market.

They are the culmination of years of research and development, and are loaded (literally and figuratively) with these features, including but not limited to:

• Optimized TS9+ Forged Faces, with shallower, variable thickness designs that optimize energy transfer and maximize golf ball speeds off the tee.
• “Spinsistency,” with a variable roll radius that creates less loft on the face, reducing spin and thereby increasing performance by maximizing distance and minimizing shot dispersion.
• A moveable, high-density 25g tungsten backweight that can be adjusted to customize shot shape according to the needs of the individual golfer, maximizing forgiveness, even on off-center strikes.
• Trajectory Tuning 2.0 Technology that enables adjustable loft and lie through a dynamic, adjustable lightweight hosel sleeve.

But even the best driver heads, like these, perform best when paired with golf shafts that do them justice.

So what are some of the best PING golf shafts for a G430 MAX driver?

What Are Good PING Golf Shafts for It?

The PING G430 MAX is a big, fairly heavy driver head with a wide, large profile. There are some shafts that are good for it, and others that are not so much.

Some of the following are top picks, according to the engineers themselves at PING.

PING Alta CB Black 55

PING Alta CB shafts are among the most popular in the entire sport, and there’s a good reason for it. They are durable, consistent, and offer excellent performance.

But to understand this, you need to understand the details behind these PING golf shafts. You see, the CB in Alta CB stands for “counterbalance.”

This makes these PING golf shafts fairly ideal for pairing with larger, heavier clubs like the G430 MAX, since the counterbalanced design of the Alta CB shifts the balance point higher on the shaft.

This creates a lower-feeling swing weight, enabling higher swing speeds and greater control. The design of the Alta CB Black also offers mid-high to high launch profiles, greater for players with slightly lower swing speeds, as it enables greater range without the need for higher spin to create lift.

PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 65

The Alta CB Black is not the only good choice in a PING golf shaft for a G430 MAX. Consider also the PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 65, which produces mid-launch profiles.

The PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 65 offers a good balance of stability and control, both of which are also necessary when playing with a larger, heavier club head like the G430 MAX.

These shafts feature durable graphite construction and low torque ratings, and are designed to produce low spin, as well, which is a good complement to the “Spinsistency” advantage offered by G430 MAX drivers.

PING Tour 2.0 Black 65

Also out of the PING Tour line is the 2.0 Black 65, which produces even lower launch profiles. This makes these shafts suitable for players with higher swing speeds, who don’t rely on high launch profiles or spin to generate the extra lift necessary for carry distance.

Ultimately, the PING Tour 2.0 Black offers a lot of the same technology that the Chrome offers but it is stiffer, making it better for players with faster swing speeds.

If the stability and consistency of PING Tour 2.0 Chrome shafts is appealing to you, but you want a stiffer shaft, then the Tour 2.0 Black may be best for you.

Mitsubishi Kai’li White 60

The Mitsubishi Kai’li White is designed to offer the ultimate performance in low-spin, low-launch driver shafts, and is made with a super-strong, super-stable MR-70 reinforced tip, a taper-butt design, and Super Low Resin Content pre-preg material (SLRP) which is lighter, thinner, and stronger than conventional graphite fiber.

They are optimized to produce low-launch, low-spin profiles without compromising on feel, for players with the most aggressive swing speeds and tempos.

Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX

Last but not least, the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX is a suitable fit for some golfers swinging a PING G430 MAX driver.

With that said, these shafts offer the highest launch and spin profiles of all shafts in the Project X HZRDUS RDX line, with mid-trajectory and medium-spin characteristics.

The Smoke Red RDX features a stiff butt and midsection with a somewhat more active tip that offers increased trajectory. This unique combination of attributes is specifically suitable for players with very aggressive swing tempos, even if their actual swing speeds lag a bit.

It produces high launch profiles and enough spin to generate just a bit of supplemental lift to carry the ball a bit farther, without badly compromising on feedback or sensitivity.
