If you're looking for new clubs to hit the golf course for the rest of the summer, your first stop is the PGA Tour Superstore. Not only does the retailer sell today's best Titleist and TaylorMade drivers and irons, but it recently marked down nearly the entire Ping 2023 G430 collection, including the ultra-versatile fairway wood, which is now $80 off.
The Ping G430 Max Fairway Wood is finally on sale, now marked down to $270 at the PGA Tour Superstore – a 23% discount from its regular price of $350. This highly customizable wood has been making waves on the dealer's website, boasting over 160 five-star ratings, which has elevated it to #1 among the best-selling Ping clubs on the site. It's still in stock for both left- and right-handed golfers, and you can choose from four loft angles, five shaft types and six flex options. Ping's 430 hybrid and steel irons are also available if you want to expand your bag.

Ping's G430 collection includes a variety of fairway woods, but the Max is designed to suit the widest range of golfers. The Carbonfly Wrap – a composite-based crown – wraps around the head to reduce weight while shifting the center of gravity towards the face to increase ball speed. The faceplate itself is variable thickness, reducing spin while offering more flexibility to further improve ball speed for greater launch and distance. It also includes a back weight that helps even golfers with slower swings hit the ball while improving overall forgiveness.
Golfers who have incorporated this Ping fairway wood into their long game say it's an instant upgrade from anything else they've used. “It drives longer and straighter,” said one customer. “My second shot on my long par-5s has become much easier to get either birdie or par. This club hits straight and long – a must have in my golf bag.”

Others say it's incredibly versatile. “Very solid and straight. Maybe not the longest, but hits both the fairway and the tee easily,” said one customer. Another agreed, adding, “It's light, fast, and gives effortless distance on the tee, fairway, or rough.”
You may not need one for every hole, but for longer par-4s and 5s it pays to use a forgiving mallet like the Ping G430 Max wood. Get yours soon, because now that it's on sale, some customization options may start to sell out.
