PING G730, irons for more distance and forgiveness

The new G730 irons from Ping are designed to offer unparalleled ease of play, more distance and maximum forgiveness.

“The G730 irons are designed for golfers who want more distance, forgiveness and consistency to play better. said John K. Solheim, CEO of PING. “The new G730 iron gives them all of that in an easy-to-play design that inspires confidence. This is the longest and most forgiving iron in our current lineup and is a great solution to help maximize performance for many golfers. We are excited to offer them an iron designed to make the game easier and more enjoyable.”

Maximizing ball speed was the primary goal when designing the G730 iron, to ensure higher and longer shots for golfers who have difficulty achieving consistent ball contact.

Harnessing the exceptional strength properties of hyper 17-4 stainless steel through advanced heat treatment, our engineers thinned the face to increase flex and help lower the center of gravity. This allows you to gain ball speed and increase distance by several meters with each iron in the series. The wider face widens the striking surface, preserving ball speed and ensuring more forgiveness on bad hits. The PurFlex cavity, with multiple flex zones, helps control face flexion while improving feel and producing powerful sound.

“Increased ball speed is the real factor that differentiates the G730 iron from its predecessors,” Solheim said. “It allows the ball to rise more easily and gives golfers the distance they need to hit higher shots that stop more easily on the green. This will increase their chances of making more birdie putts. »

Tolerance and regularity

The wider head profile and sole of this Cast model increases MOI in both axes. The lower center of gravity provides more forgiveness to improve precision and consistency. Golfers will also notice a larger offset on this cavity back design. This is a key factor in making the ball take off more easily and the trajectory is more regular. The performance-enhancing Hydropearl Chrome 2.0 finish delivers consistent casting in all conditions.
“Since my grandfather, Karsten Solheim, pioneered forgiveness 65 years ago with the invention of peripheral weight distribution, golfers have come to expect the highest levels of performance from PING irons,” said Solheim. “The G730 iron furthers that reputation in a way that would make Karsten proud. Our engineers applied modern design techniques to its proven theories, giving golfers the forgiveness and consistency they need to gain accuracy and lower scores by hitting more greens. »

Personalized lofts

In order to increase distance but also optimize gapping to best adapt to the golfer, standard lofts are custom designed to maximize performance across the entire bag. All four wedges in the series feature machined faces and grooves for greater control. Power spec (closer) and retro spec (more open) loft options allow fitters to further optimize performance.

“I encourage golfers to pay more attention to the importance of gapping,” Solheim said. “The more data we analyze through our partnership with Arccos, the more convinced we are that properly matched sets play an important role in optimizing a golfer's performance. This is especially important for golfers who fit the G730 iron profile, as they likely need to transition to hybrids and fairway woods around the 5 or 6 iron. Our team of fitting scientists have developed knowledge and applied it. applied to our Co-Pilot digital fitting tool platform, which many approved PING fitters use. “It’s an area of research that leads to some very interesting applications to improve the fitting process and help golfers get the most out of their equipment.”
