Ping · Irons · 2024
G730
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a higher-handicap or slower-swinging player who wants PING's longest, most forgiving iron - maximum distance and stability, now with a much better feel than the G710.
You want workability, traditional gapping, maximum greenside spin, or a compact head (the G-series GI or i-series players' irons).
Pros
- The longest PING iron ever - around 5 yards more through the set, with the 7-iron 2-3 mph faster than the G710
- Outstanding forgiveness - 5% higher MOI than the G710, low and toe misses still flew well with carry only marginally impacted
- A big feel and sound upgrade over the G710 - the improved cavity gives a solid, muted strike, not the hollow feel of before
- Lofts 1.5-4 degrees stronger for distance, with a controlled, distance-biased flight
Cons
- A super-game-improvement distance iron - strong lofts, minimal workability
- Launches lower (~16 degrees) with ~4,500 rpm - slightly less stopping power on firm greens
- A large, distance-iron footprint
By dimension
Forgiveness
Outstanding - the forgiveness is simply outstanding, low and toe misses still flying well with carry only marginally impacted, helped by a 5% higher MOI than the G710. Class-leading super-game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
The longest PING iron ever - it adds about 5 yards through the set, the 7-iron averaging 122 mph (2-3 mph faster than the G710), with lofts 1.5-4 degrees stronger. Class-leading distance.
Workability
A distance machine - a super-game-improvement distance iron with strong lofts, built for forgiveness and distance rather than shaping, a straight, distance-biased flight. Minimal workability, by design.
Feel
Much improved - the feel is impressive, the blend just right, not too hard or too lively, with an improved cavity giving a more solid strike than the hollow G710. A big feel improvement over the G710.
Sound
Solid and muted - the improved cavity structure delivers a more solid, muted sound compared to the hollow feel of the G710, a refined acoustic. A big sound improvement over the G710.
Looks at address
Refined for a distance iron - the super-game-improvement shape is cleaner than past distance irons, with a tidy PING finish. An acceptable distance-iron footprint, sharper than the G710.
