Ping launches no-cost exchange program — if you own this driver

Ping has introduced a free exchange program for golfers who own the Ping G430 LST driver. The program, which began on August 29th, allows golfers to exchange their G430 LST driver for the new Ping G430 Max driver at no cost. The exchange is available to golfers who purchased their G430 LST driver after August 1st, 2023.

The Ping G430 Max driver is the latest model in Ping’s G430 line of drivers. It is designed to provide more forgiveness and distance than the G430 LST driver. The driver features a larger clubhead and a more forgiving face. It also has a lighter swing weight, which makes it easier to swing.

Golfers who participate in the exchange program will need to contact Ping customer service to arrange the exchange. They will need to provide proof of purchase and return the G430 LST driver to Ping. Ping will then send the G430 Max driver to the golfer.

4 tour stars switched drivers — and something special happened

In a surprising turn of events, four of the PGA Tour’s top stars have made a significant equipment change by switching drivers. The results have been nothing short of remarkable, with each player experiencing a noticeable improvement in their driving distance and accuracy.

Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Bryson DeChambeau have all switched to a new driver model, and the results have been staggering. Johnson has added an average of 10 yards to his drives, while McIlroy has seen his accuracy improve by over 10%. Thomas has gained both distance and accuracy, and DeChambeau has seen his drives become even more explosive.

The common thread among all four players is their switch to a driver with a larger clubhead and a more forgiving design. This has allowed them to generate more clubhead speed and hit the ball more consistently in the center of the clubface.

The results of this equipment change have been evident on the course, with all four players posting impressive results in recent tournaments. Johnson won the Travelers Championship, while McIlroy finished in a tie for second. Thomas and DeChambeau also contended for the title, finishing in the top 10.

It remains to be seen whether this equipment change will have a lasting impact on the PGA Tour, but for now, it has certainly given these four players a significant advantage.
