Ping
G740
The Ping G740 is a game improvement iron released in 2025, designed for mid to high handicappers (typically 12–24 HCP) who benefit from a larger clubhead, wide sole, and high MOI design that reduces the penalty on mis-hits and promotes a higher, easier launch. The 2025 model's 7-iron is lofted at 29.5°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

About the Ping G740
The Ping G740 features a wide sole, deep undercut cavity, and high-MOI design that keeps ball speed consistent across the face. The low, deep CG promotes a high launch angle that helps the ball stop on greens. At impact it delivers solid and consistent — designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat.
Loft Analysis
The Ping G740's 7-iron is lofted at 29.5° — near-traditional — close to the classic 32–34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 152–162 yards. The 5-iron (23°) to 7-iron gap of 6.5° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids.

- ✓Mid to high handicappers (12–24 HCP) focused on consistency and forgiveness
- ✓Golfers who benefit from a higher launch and softer landing on approach shots
- ✓Players who tend to miss thin and need help getting the ball airborne
