The Ping G730 and the Ping G440 are both game improvement sets running 5-iron to PW, but they get there differently. The G730 is a cast cavity back with a wide sole and a high launch profile, a build aimed at golfers who need help getting the ball up. The G440 is a hollow body with variable face thickness, and it runs stronger lofts, 28.5° at the 7-iron against 30° for the G730. That works out to roughly 4 yards more carry at the same swing speed, so wedge gapping deserves a look before you buy. The G440 is also the newer design by 2 years and carries ratings of 92/100 from Golf Digest and 90/100 from MyGolfSpy. The G730 has no editorial recognition on file.
The G440 is the pick for most buyers who want distance and a modern hollow body head, and its list price is only $100 higher at $1,149 against $1,049. The G730 is the better call if you prioritize launch height, a wide sole, or price, since the older model is the one you are more likely to find discounted. If feel matters most, the two heads are built differently enough that a fitting is worth it before committing.
