The PING G730 Irons are engineered for golfers who prioritize maximum distance and forgiveness in their iron play. These irons offer significant ball speed gains and higher launch through advanced face technology, making them ideal for players looking to improve their game with shots that fly further and stop quicker on the greens. While designed for broad appeal, players seeking ultimate shot-shaping workability might consider other models; however, for pure game improvement, distance, and stability, the G730s excel.
Hyper 17-4 Stainless Steel Face: This advanced material, through heat treatment, thins the face and optimizes its structure to increase flexing, leading to higher ball speeds, lower center of gravity, and an average gain of five yards in distance.
PurFlex Cavity Badge: Enhances acoustic and feel properties, producing a more powerful sound at impact. Its multiple flex zones also contribute to increased ball speed across the entire face.
Extreme Forgiveness: Features a larger head, increased offset, and a wider sole. This design elevates the Moment of Inertia (MOI) in both axes, significantly boosting stability and accuracy on off-center hits.
Distance-Optimized Lofts: Custom-engineered lofts ensure optimal gapping between clubs for consistent distance progression. Options for power and retro spec lofts allow for personalized fitting.
Full-Set Performance: Available from 5-iron through 9-iron, Pitching Wedge, U-wedge, 50°, and 56° wedges. The four wedges include machined faces and grooves for improved spin and control around the green.
Dynamic Gold Mid Shafts: Equipped with True Temper's Dynamic Gold Mid 100 as the stock steel shaft, designed with a stiffer mid-section and softer tip to promote higher launch and spin with a stable feel. The slightly heavier Mid 115 is also available as a no-upcharge option.
Swingweight Fine-Tuning: Incorporates a tungsten toe screw and shaft tip weights, allowing for precise adjustment of the club's swingweight during a fitting.
Maximized Distance: Expect typical gains of approximately five yards due to the flexing face technology.
Exceptional Forgiveness: The larger head, wider sole, and increased MOI provide outstanding stability and accuracy on mishits.
High Launch and Stopping Power: Designed to generate high-launching shots that hit and hold the greens effectively.
Enhanced Feel and Sound: The PurFlex cavity badge improves the overall impact sensation and acoustic feedback.
Comprehensive Set Options: Available in a wide range of irons and wedges, offering complete bag coverage.
Customizable Performance: Lofts can be optimized, and swingweight can be fine-tuned to individual player needs.
Game-Improvement Aesthetic: The larger head and increased offset, while beneficial for forgiveness, may not appeal to all players, especially those who prefer a more traditional or compact clubhead look.
Workability Focus: While highly forgiving, these irons are primarily designed for straight distance and high launch, potentially offering less shot-shaping control compared to player's irons.
Shaft Options Limited: While offering two excellent Dynamic Gold Mid options, players seeking a broader range of stock shaft choices might require custom orders.

The PING G730 Irons are built to deliver consistent, long-distance performance for a wide range of golfers. Here's what you can expect on the course:
Increased Carry Distance: The hyper 17-4 stainless steel face actively flexes at impact, translating into faster ball speeds and noticeable distance gains. Many users will find their irons flying approximately five yards further than their previous set, leading to shorter approach shots into greens.
Effortless High Launch: The low center of gravity (CG) and optimized lofts help get the ball airborne quickly and easily. This high launch trajectory ensures that even longer irons carry sufficient height to clear obstacles and descend steeply, allowing the ball to stop quickly on the green.
Unmatched Forgiveness on Mishits: The generous head size, wider sole, and higher MOI are particularly beneficial for golfers who don't always hit the center of the face. Off-center strikes maintain more ball speed and a straighter trajectory, minimizing the penalty for imperfect contact and helping keep more shots in play.
Confident Approach Shots: With the combination of distance, high launch, and stopping power, golfers can attack pins with greater confidence. The machined faces and grooves on the matching wedges further enhance control for chips, pitches, and bunker shots, providing consistent spin and trajectory.
Consistent Feel and Sound: The PurFlex cavity badge doesn't just look good; it actively dampens unwanted vibrations, providing a solid yet powerful feel and sound at impact. This feedback helps build confidence with every swing.
Custom Tuning for Optimal Play: The availability of custom-engineered lofts and swingweight adjustability (via tungsten toe screw and shaft tip weights) means that a professional fitting can truly unlock the full potential of these irons for your specific swing, ensuring optimal gapping and feel across the set.
Professional Fitting Recommended: To maximize the benefits of the PING G730 irons, a professional club fitting is highly recommended. A fitter can assess your swing, recommend the optimal shaft flex (Dynamic Gold Mid 100 or 115), and fine-tune lofts (power or retro spec options) and lie angles for your specific game. They can also adjust swingweight using the integrated tungsten toe screw and shaft tip weights.
Grip Selection: Ensure your grips are appropriately sized for your hands to promote proper club control and feel. Your fitter can guide you on this.
Target Golfer: These irons are designed for adult, unisex golfers, particularly those seeking significant distance gains, high launch, and maximum forgiveness. They are categorized as a premium game-improvement iron.
Shaft Options: The stock True Temper Dynamic Gold Mid 100 (multiple flexes) and Dynamic Gold Mid 115 (no-upcharge) steel shafts are compatible with a wide range of swing speeds and preferences for players seeking higher launch and stable feel.
Full Set Integration: The irons are designed to integrate seamlessly from the 5-iron down to specialty wedges (U-wedge, 50°, 56°), providing consistent performance throughout the scoring clubs.
Cleaning After Each Round: After every round or practice session, use a soft brush (like a nylon brush) and warm, soapy water to clean the clubheads, especially the grooves. Ensure all dirt, grass, and debris are removed to maintain optimal spin and performance. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a clean towel.
Protecting Clubheads: Always use headcovers for your irons when storing or transporting them, especially in a golf bag, to prevent dings, scratches, and wear from clubs knocking against each other.
Storage: Store your irons in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent rust or material degradation. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Grip Maintenance: Clean your grips periodically with mild soap and water to remove oils and dirt, which can restore tackiness and extend their lifespan. Dry them thoroughly.
Inspection: Periodically inspect your clubheads and shafts for any signs of damage, such as dents, cracks, or loose components. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage or impact performance.
