The Bottom Line

It comes at no surprise that the PING G430 SFT driver is forgiving. However, that it is the best for forgiveness for our high swing speed results is shocking. Certainly not the driver we expected to be crowned as the best for forgiveness for high swing speed golfers. Not only is it the best for forgiveness, but it blew away everyone else. The biggest factor was dispersion. PING G430 SFT's dispersion was in the Top 5 for 27% more testers than the next best driver.

👍 Buy This If

You prioritize forgiveness and consistency: PING G430 SFT is extremely forgiving and consistent. It dominates the field in our high swing speed results by offering tight dispersion, and consistent carry distances and ball speeds.

You want a reliable, draw bias driver: Every year, PING’s SFT driver models excels at being the most draw bias driver. The G430 SFT is no different. It offers a reliable draw bias outcome. Or, if anything, can help mitigate a slice or fade.

👎 Don’t Buy This If

✖︎ You prioritize distance: Despite its stellar forgiveness performance, PING G430 SFT will leave you wanting more from a distance standpoint. It is average to below average for distance in our high swing speed driver results.
