The G730 is the more forgiving, 5 of 5 here against the G440's 3.5: it is PING's previous super game improvement iron, with a larger head and a wider sole, where the G440 is its current game improvement iron. Their offsets are close (5.1 mm at the 7-iron against 4.6 mm), and the G730's lofts are about a degree stronger from the 6-iron to the 9-iron (a 28° 7-iron against 29°) and two at the PW; the lies and lengths are the same club for club. PING now builds the G730 only as fill-in or replacement clubs, since the G740 replaced it, so most G730 sets are bought used.
A forgiving game improvement iron with what PING calls a players-style look: 4.6 mm of offset and a 29° 7-iron. For a slow swing, the G440 HL is the same head in a lighter build.
Fits golfers who make decent contact and want help on the misses with a slimmer head.
Choose the G740 instead if thin and heavy strikes are your main miss: it has the bigger, wider-soled head. For a lighter build that suits a slower swing, look at the G440 HL.

The G740 is PING's bigger, more forgiving head: PING gives it a wider sole, a longer blade and a thicker topline, slightly more offset at the 7-iron (4.8 mm against 4.6 mm) and a lie 1° more upright.
The same head with the same lofts, so the same score, 3.5 of 5: a 29° 7-iron and 4.6 mm of offset (PING prints it as 0.18" on the G440 page and 0.175" on the HL page).
The G440 replaced the G430, and the two share the figures our score reads: the same 4.6 mm of offset at the 7-iron, the same 29° 7-iron and the same lofts from the 4-iron to the 9-iron, so both score 3.5 of 5.
Two generations apart, the G425 and the G440 share the figures our score reads: a game improvement head with 4.6 mm of offset at the 7-iron, so both score 3.5 of 5.
The G440 is the forgiving one: PING's game improvement iron, 3.5 of 5 here, against 1 of 5 for the i240, PING's compact players' iron with a shorter blade and a thin topline.
The G740 replaced the G730 as PING's most forgiving iron, and both score 5 of 5: each has a wider sole, a 28° 7-iron and close to the same offset at the 7-iron (5.1 mm on the G730, 4.8 mm on the G740).
Two earlier PING irons a step apart: the G430 is PING's game improvement head, the G730 its super game improvement head, and the G730 forgives more, 5 of 5 here against 3.5.
Two game improvement irons with nearly the same lofts: by the makers' tables they match from the 4-iron to the AW or UW (a 29° 7-iron and a 42° PW in both), but for the 6-iron, half a degree stronger on the Elyte.
