PING G730 irons
Super game improvement, 5.0 of 5 for forgiveness
PING's most forgiving iron before the G740: a larger head, a wider sole, 5.1 mm of offset at the 7-iron and a 28° 7-iron, the same loft as the G740's. PING now builds the G730 only as fill-in or replacement clubs, and the G740 replaced it.

Choose it if
- You often catch it thin or heavy and want the most help an iron gives.
- You catch the ground before the ball: the sole is wide, so it skids instead of digging.
- You need a left-handed club or a senior flex: both are stock.
Choose something else if
- Choose the G740 instead if you want a whole set built to order in your lie, shaft and flex.

What changed in the G740
The same 28° 7-iron, the same lofts from the 6-iron to the 56° wedge, the same lengths and the same set: 5-iron to PW, UW, 50° and 56°. By PING's tables the G740's 5-iron is half a degree stronger (21° against 21.5°), its 5- to 9-irons sit 1° more upright (a 63° lie at the 7-iron against 62°), its irons carry about a degree more bounce, and its offset at the 7-iron is 4.8 mm against the G730's 5.1 mm. PING also gives the G740 a new PurFlex cavity badge, and its shaft list moves from the AWT 2.0 and ALTA CB Black to the AWT 3.0 and ALTA CB Blue.
PING now builds the G730 only as fill-in or replacement clubs, so a new set comes from a shop's last stock and most are bought used. It scores the same as the G740 here, for less new or used; this page shows both prices. Choose the G740 for a whole set built to order in your lie, shaft and flex.

Build a whole bag around it, or check the lofts in the bag you carry.
Use the iron finder to compare sets for your usual miss, and check the set makeup and loft gaps before ordering. Between a game improvement and a super game improvement head, this is how to tell which one your strike needs.
The PING G730 is sold in a senior (A) flex as well as regular (R): what the senior flex changes, and who it suits.

How the 5.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what PING publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head class | 4 | Super game improvement: the biggest, most forgiving iron head a maker sells. |
| Offset | +0.5 | 5.1 mm at the 7-iron, at or above our 4.5 mm mark. |
| Sole | +0.5 | PING calls the sole wide ("wider sole"). |
| Forgiveness score | 5.0 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.
