PING Iron Loft Chart: G440, G430, i240, i230 & Blueprint Specs

The quick answer: PING's current 7-irons range from 28° (G740, G730) to 33° (i240, i230, Blueprint S, Blueprint T). The G430 and G440 7-iron is 29°, the i230 and i240 is 33°, and the G430 pitching wedge is 41° (the G440's is 42°). Most PING irons can also be ordered in Power Spec (stronger) or Retro Spec (weaker) lofts; both are in every table below, with lie, offset and length.

PING 7-Iron Loft Comparison

Every current PING iron's 7-iron and pitching wedge, from strongest loft to weakest:

The G730 and G Le4 call their pitching wedge the W. 7-iron lies run from 62° to 63°. Every lie in this post is PING's standard (Black) color code; PING's tables note: “Lie angle is based on Black Color Code at standard length.”

Power Spec vs Retro Spec Lofts

PING builds most of its irons in three loft options. In PING's words:

• Power Spec: “Power Spec Loft is a fitting option for players looking to boost their iron distance or decrease spin to hit a desired trajectory window. This custom-designed loft configuration delivers a calculated power boost without sacrificing the integrity of the club’s design.”
• Retro Spec: “Retro Spec Loft is a fitting option if you’re less concerned with overall distance and more with precision and a higher trajectory for more stopping power. This loft configuration yields functional distance gaps for utilizing a 3-wedge setup or a more classic loft spec.”

On a G440 7-iron that's 27.5° Power Spec, 29° standard and 31° Retro Spec. If you're buying used PING irons, check which loft spec they were built to before you compare them with anything else.

In PING's words: “To help slower-swing-speed golfers generate more speed and distance, G440 HL irons are engineered with lighter toe and tip weights, ultralight PING ALTA Quick shaft, and the Lamkin UTx Lite grip.”

PING G430 Iron Specs

In PING's words: “Your shot making and your confidence will be sky high with the G430, which combines a lower CG with stronger lofts and a thinner face that deliver faster ball speed and significant distance gains without compromising PING’s famous forgiveness.”

In PING's words: “The G430 HL Iron launches higher and farther with a lightweight design, faster face, and enhanced forgiveness for consistent performance across all conditions.”

PING G740 Iron Specs

In PING's words: “The G740 maximizes distance, forgiveness and consistency, making it a great choice for golfers who best fit into a super-game-improvement iron”.

PING G730 Iron Specs

In PING's words: “Increasing distance and making it easy to hit were the primary objectives in the long and highly forgiving G730.”

“The stronger lofts across the set resulted in the addition of a 41° PW to ensure proper gapping options”, PING says of the G430, which is why its set wedges are 45.5°, 50°, 54°, 58°. PING on the G740: “The longer blade length and thicker topline contribute to a higher MOI, making it PING’s most forgiving iron.”

PING G Le4 and G Le3 Specs (Women's)

PING lists the G Le sets in its women's category. Both are iron and hybrid combo sets, so the tables include the hybrids; PING doesn't publish Power Spec, Retro Spec or offset for the G Le hybrids.

PING G Le4 Iron Specs

In PING's words: “The G Le4 is designed as an iron/hybrid combo solution to ensure forgiveness across the set”.

PING G Le3 Iron Specs

In PING's words: “G Le3's iron/hybrid combo solution allows golfers to create the ideal set with optimal gapping”.

What Changed From the G430, i230 and i530?

PING still publishes the previous generation next to the new one, so here's every loft, lie and length change in the irons and pitching wedge, taken straight from PING's own tables:

The G440 keeps the G430's iron lofts but makes the pitching wedge 42° (the G430's is 41°) and lengthens the long irons: the 4-iron is 3/8" longer, the 5-iron is 1/4" longer, the 6-iron is 1/8" longer.

PING Color Code and Lie Angle

PING's color code is its lie-angle system. PING's Color Code Chart, which PING says was developed by founder Karsten Solheim, “relied on two simple variables, a golfer’s height and their wrist-to-floor measurement.” “There are 10 color codes ranging from 5° upright to 4° flat, as denoted by a colored dot on the iron head.” The lies in this post are PING's standard (Black) code, so a set built in another color will sit more upright or flatter than the numbers above.

PING also notes: “Available/achievable color code depends on several factors, including model, age, and previous adjustments.” To find your code, use PING's own color code chart. To check the lie and loft of clubs you already own, see our golf club loft & lie chart.

Which PING Iron Fits You?

PING describes each model's target golfer on its own pages. Here's the short version, in PING's words:

A fitter will also check your color code, length and shaft, which change more than the head does. If you're not sure your current irons fit, grade your bag for free first.
