From the first irons they made PING has always produced clubs for average golfers that could give more fun to this difficult, maddening, addicting game and the G730s are their latest model to deliver easy-to-hit forgiveness with additional distance.
The clubheads are a larger size and have wider soles plus the head has lots of offset from the shaft—over 0.25” in the 5-iron—giving a confidence-inspiring package.
The face has been thinned so there’s more flexing at impact for more yardage and combined with the head’s low center of gravity the ball launches higher.
“Since my grandfather, Karsten Solheim, pioneered forgiveness 65 years ago with the invention of perimeter weighting, golfers have come to expect the highest levels of performance from PING irons,” John K. Solheim PING CEO & President said. “The G730 iron furthers that reputation in a way that would make Karsten proud. Our engineers have applied modern design techniques to his proven theories, bringing golfers the forgiveness and consistency they need to improve their accuracy and lower their scores by hitting more greens.”
