The PING G430 MAX 10k blows past the 10,000 g-cm2 threshold for MOI, making it one of the most powerful and forgiving drivers ever produced, by PING or otherwise - not something that’s easy to do.

It allows for adjustable loft and lie, has a fixed backweight, a thinner face that offers “spinsistency,” producing lower spin, and has a lighter, stronger, carbonfly wrap crown; it has a larger profile, too, making it a surprisingly big driver (although it’s light for its size).

These features make the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX excellent as a PING golf driver shaft for it. In fact, PING Golf itself suggests as much - so let’s take a closer look at why.

What the PING G430 MAX 10k Offers: Why the Smoke Red RDX
Get ready to be surprised: The Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX produces more launch and spin than any other shaft in the HAZRDUS RDX lineup.

Why would you want that for a clubhead that produces less of the same?

Well, for that exact reason.

Golfers that don’t like a higher-launching shaft that produces a lot of spin have their reasons. Launch and spin can increase carry distance, but they almost always increase shot dispersion.

This produces a conundrum. What can you do if you’re a golfer with a slower swing speed and tempo, who needs a little assist from your gear to get that extra carry distance, without all that extra shot dispersion and rollout?

You can be smart about how you pair your club and shaft, that’s what you can do.

Allow a short explanation. The Smoke Red RDX produces a good deal of spin and a fairly high launch. Good - if you need the boost, this shaft has your back.

The PING G430 MAX 10k helps keep that under control. See, unlike a more flexible shaft, this uber-engineered driver club is designed specifically to offer a higher level of forgiveness.

This club (despite its adjustable loft and lie, enabling you to customize launch characteristics) has an optimized, forged T9S+ face design that produces less spin, helping to balance things out.

It’s like this: the shaft gives you that extra push in launch height and spin to give you extra carry distance, and the clubhead, which is engineered for consistent contact and launch characteristics, helps prevent that from going off the deep end.

Meaning, if you swing the same every time and get your form under control, you can expect the club to deliver similar shot shapes. If you can key in on that, it’s just a matter of refining your technique.

Which means this: you actually can have a shaft that produces high launch and spin, delivering greater carry distance, without overcomplicating things through shot dispersion.

So who can benefit from a G430 MAX 10k? Well, any golfer, really. But should you pair it with a Smoke Red RDX?

If you need higher launch and spin to go the distance, then absolutely.
