H2H: Ping i530 vs G730 irons

When it comes to aesthetics everyone is different in terms of what the like to look at address and the new Ping i530 irons are very easy on the eye.
 
This new design intention of the i530 was to focus on distance but it also has a high level of forgiveness which is what makes this iron so appealing.

Blade enthusiasts will also appreciate the thin top line, narrow sole, and shallow face height with this hollow body design.

The distance gains come from an internal weight pad that provides a deeper and thinner face-to-sole transition for more face flexing for faster ball speeds.

It has a highly flexible forged maraging steel C300 face welded to a 17-4 stainless steel hollow body with polymer inside the head on the back of the face which improves feel and sound while supporting the face flexing. 

The hollow-body design saves weight to increase forgiveness and tighten dispersion for greater accuracy along with the added distance.
Precision-milled MicroMax grooves combine with the hydropearl chrome 2.0 finish to ensure consistent launch and spin from all conditions. 

Game improvement irons sometimes get overlooked by golfers even though the majority of us need as much help as we can it.

The new G730 irons is an iron that the mid to higher handicappers need to take a closer look at. 

This is Ping most forgiving and longest iron in their current line-up, which already sounds like a good deal. Focusing on maximising ball speed, this was the primary objective in the design, helping ensure shots launch higher and fly further if you’re inconsistent with your ball striking. 

A plus is it has a nice large inviting head and a wide sole to increase MOI with more offset which will give you the confidence at address to get the ball in the air with ease.

The cavity badge is like the PurFlex badge seen in the G430, so you can expect the same forgiveness and speeds across the face, while the hyper 17-4 stainless steel face goes through advanced heat treatment allowing the face to be thinned. This increases flexing and helps lower the centre of gravity, leading to significant ball-speed gains and several more yards of distance with each iron.

The larger face expands the hitting surface, preserving ball speed and ensuring forgiveness on mishits. The PurFlex cavity badge, with multiple flex zones, helps control face bending while enhancing feel and producing a powerful sound.
