PING G730 pushes distance to the next level in the super game-improvement iron category. By doing so, it claims the top spot for distance. Most golfers will purchase a golf club purely based on distance performance and not observe accuracy and forgiveness performance. Yes, PING G730 is a phenomenal distance iron. However, its overall performance is hindered by its accuracy and forgiveness scoring in this year's test. If you are considering it, go through a professional fitting to optimize performance.
► You crave distance: Distance sells. We all know this. Golfers tend to hyper-focus on the one shot they crush. PING G730 certainly offers this rush of adrenaline as the longest iron in our super game-improvement iron test. From an overall perspective, PING G730 is the longest iron. In a 7-iron analysis, it is 7.84 yards longer than the shortest super game-improvement iron. If PING G730 is on your radar, we strongly recommend you go through a professional fitting. This will better your chances of optimizing performance.
✖︎ You desire accuracy and forgiveness: Despite being considerably longer than other irons, PING G730 is below average for accuracy and forgiveness. We encourage that accuracy should be your number one priority when purchasing a new set of irons or any golf club for that matter. You want to be on or around the green with every iron in your golf bag. Forgiveness is where we evaluate how well an iron performs on a shot-to-shot basis. There are four specific metrics we analyze: ball speed, carry distance, backspin, and dispersion. Thus, PING G730 struggles with these performance characteristics relative to the field.
Distance Taking into account total distance and carry distance, our distance scoring is a metric ultimately telling you the total yards achieved by the club.

Accuracy Accuracy evaluates if a player’s shots with each club are above or below what’s expected based on that player’s skill level. By eliminating variables in player ability, accuracy determines how well the club improves a player’s overall score.

Forgiveness Forgiveness measures how well a club corrects for hits that are center or off center off the face of the club. A high forgiveness rating tells you that a club does well at maintaining consistency in performance when your swing fluctuates.

Ball Speed Ball speed measures how fast the ball is traveling off the face of the club. We eliminate variables like player swing speed or ability, so you can compare ball speeds off the face as affected by the club, not the player.
