The variable-thickness, high-strength titanium face wraps into the crown and sole of the lightweight titanium body, generating more flexing for faster ball speed and higher launch for greater distance. The combination of the titanium body and high-density 80-gram tungsten sole plate helps position the CG lower and farther back to produce higher-launching, lower-spinning and longer shots.
Face curvature optimised for speed
The low-profile, 169cc head also benefits from Spinsistency, a proven clubface innovation engineered with a variable roll radius that improves performance across the face (especially on shots hit low on the face) by reducing spin for more distance. A tighter bulge radius increases ball speed and minimises off-line dispersion.
Carbonfly Wrap crown saves weight, lowers CG
The LST (Low Spin Technology) model joins the MAX and SFT (Straight Flight Technology) designs in completing the line of G430 fairway woods introduced earlier this year. Like those models, the LST 3-wood is engineered with a Carbonfly Wrap crown to help deliver more distance by positioning the CG lower and closer to the force line to maximise ball speed, resulting in higher, longer carries. The 8-layer composite crown, which saves approximately 5.5 grams compared to a titanium crown, wraps into the heel and toe sections of the skirt. The discretionary weight is reallocated to achieve the lower CG and increase ball speed. The composite crown weighs 8.5g fully installed and contributes to the club’s pleasing sound.
