The Ping i530 and the Ping i240 share a $1199 MSRP, so price will not decide this one. Loft does. The i530's 7-iron sits at 30 degrees against 32 degrees for the i240, a 2 degree gap that translates to roughly 5 yards more carry at the same swing speed. The i530 also runs 4-iron to AW with a 48 degree top end, while the i240 stops at a 45 degree PW, so wedge gapping works out differently for each set. The i530 is a players distance iron, while the i240 is a forged, multi-material players cavity back, so head size and forgiveness will differ. The i240 carries editorial recognition, including 92/100 from Golf Digest and 90/100 from both MyGolfSpy and Golf Monthly. Nothing comparable is on file for the i530.
Choose the i530 if distance is your first priority and its stronger lofts fit the rest of your bag. Choose the i240 if you want a forged cavity back with published ratings behind it and care more about feel than extra carry. At the same price, the i240 is the safer pick for most golfers. The i530 makes sense only if you have checked your gapping and truly want the extra yards.
