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.

    • Day 29 (31 Dec 25) - played a casual year-end 18 with a couple of friends.  
    • Day 457 - 2025-12-31 Stayed after some GEARS Hybrid stuff with my senior girls and got some work in. Also, kicked Tegan's butt at a chipping contest with a wedge that has a lousy toe profile.
    • Day 141 12-31 Reconnecting arm and club face work. Making sure left wrist is arched only on the downswing. Not doing full swings, im pausing at the top and will do a few rehearsals.  Hit a few real balls  after, and had some curve way left. 
    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.
