Lofts compared
- G30
- G
What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 30.5° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show.
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 G arrived 2 years after the G30, 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.
Which should you choose?
The G30 and G share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ping G30 stronger lofted than the G?
No. Both have a 30.5° 7-iron and the same loft on every club they share, so neither is stronger lofted. The difference is in construction and feel.
What is the loft difference between the Ping G30 and G?
There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 30.5° 7-iron.
Are the Ping G30 and G 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 G30 and G have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Ping G30 is 61.88° lie and 37 inches, the G 62° and 37 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
