G730 $1,189.99 · G740 $1,299.99, each with its shop and checked date
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). By PING's tables the lofts match from the 6-iron down, the G740's 5-iron is half a degree stronger, its irons sit 1° more upright and carry about a degree more bounce, and the lengths and the set (5-iron to PW, UW, 50° and 56°) are the same. PING gives the G740 a new PurFlex cavity badge and lists the AWT 3.0 and ALTA CB Blue shafts where the G730 had the AWT 2.0 and ALTA CB Black.
Fits golfers who often catch it thin or heavy and want the most help an iron gives.
Its 7-iron is a strong 28°. If you need more height, compare the PXG Wildcat (32°) or the Srixon ZXiR HL (32.5°); if you strike it well and want a slimmer head, the G440.
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 G740 gives more help on paper: it is PING's super game improvement head, with a wider sole, a longer blade, a thicker topline and 4.8 mm of offset at the 7-iron, which PING says lower the centre of gravity and raise the MOI.
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.
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.
