Hey all I recently won a new set of irons.

I currently play ping g30s 1 inch longer 2 degrees upright 5 to pw and then a 50 54 and 58 vokey. Top end of the bag is a g430 driver g425 5 wood and g425 7 wood 

I settled on a set of ping g430s but the lofts are much stronger ger with the PW at 41 degrees. I am going to go with a 6 to pw but to fill the gap do I go with the 45 degree g430 or should I opt for a 46 degree vokey?

Well you could always start with the G430 GW and see how you like it....  plus it will be more forgiving on off hits vs the Vokey.   

If you end up not liking the G430 GW, you could always get a Vokey afterwards.

It kind of depends on how you hit them and what your gaps actually end up being.  The 46° Vokey might not fill the gap the way the G430 UW does. If you’re planning on using the club mostly on full swing motion shots you might be better off with the G430.

Or you can just put your G30 PW in the bag as your GW since it’s 45° standard loft.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
