Lofts compared
- G25
- G30
What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the G25 is 32° and the G30 is 30.5°, a 1.5° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the G30 should carry roughly 4 to 6 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the G25. Across the 10 clubs both sets share, the G30 averages 0.8° stronger, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (23° vs 21°). Beyond loft, the G30 7-iron sits 0.4° flatter (62.25° vs 61.88°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander; the G30 7-iron is 0.25 inches longer (36.75" vs 37").
The sets are built differently: the G25 runs 3-iron to LW (11 clubs), the G30 4-iron to LW (10 clubs).
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed as investment cast. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The G30 arrived 1 year after the G25, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept. Here the 7-iron loft moved from 32° to 30.5°.
Which should you choose?
The G30 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 2° stronger than the G25 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ping G25 stronger lofted than the G30?
No. The G30 is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 30.5° against 32° for the Ping G25, 1.5° stronger and worth roughly 4 to 6 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the Ping G25 and G30?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1.5° (32° vs 30.5°). The largest gap on a shared club is 2° at the 4-iron, and 5 of the 10 shared clubs differ.
Are the Ping G25 and G30 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the Ping G25 and G30 have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Ping G25 is 62.25° lie and 36.75 inches, the G30 61.88° and 37 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
