The Tour’s low-spin design combines a 2041 Beta-Ti face, 8-1-1 Ti body, and 80-gram tungsten sole plate for a low/backward CG position for faster ball speeds with low spin, yielding an average of seven more yards.
The variable thickness, high-strength titanium face wraps in the crown and sole of the lightweight titanium chassis, resulting in more flex for greater ball speed and a 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 firing shots, lower spin and longer strokes.
Optimized face curvature for speed
The small 169cm head also benefits from Spinsistency, a club-proven innovation designed with a variable roll radius that improves cross-face performance (especially on shots hit lower in the face) by reducing spin for a greater distance. A tighter bulge radius increases ball speed and reduces off-line scattering.
Carbon Fly Crown saves weight and reduces body weight
The LST (Low Spin Technology) model joins the MAX and SFT (Straight Flight Technology) designs in completing the line of G430 woods introduced earlier this year. Like those models, the LST 3-wood with Carbonfly Wrap crown is designed to help provide greater distance by positioning the CG lower and closer to the line of force to maximize ball velocity, resulting in a taller and higher carry. An 8-ply composite crown, which saves about 5.5 grams compared to a titanium crown, wraps the heel and toe portions of the skirt. Estimated weight is redistributed to achieve lower CG and increased ball speed. The composite crown weighs 8.5 grams and is fully assembled and contributes to the satisfying club sound.
