Next-generation golf irons engineered for maximum confidence. The PING G740 irons represent the pinnacle of the super-game-improvement category — clubs designed to give every golfer the greatest possible advantage on the course. They maximize distance, forgiveness and consistency, delivering faster ball speeds and a higher, easier launch that makes the game significantly more rewarding, even for less consistent ball-strikers. Available in 5–9, PW, UW, 50°, and 56°.
Ideal for:
The G740's sole is 22% wider than that of its predecessor, the G730, and features a dual-camber grind that positions the center of gravity low and deep behind the face. This combination drives faster ball speeds and a reliably higher launch angle — benefits that are especially pronounced for golfers who tend to strike the ball low on the face. The dual-camber profile also smooths turf interaction dramatically: the club glides cleanly into and out of the ground rather than digging in, helping to eliminate the dreaded fat shot and encouraging cleaner, more consistent contact from a wide variety of lies.
Behind the G740's thin, flexible face sits an all-new three-piece PurFlex cavity badge, each section engineered with its own distinct flex zone. Together, the three zones work in concert to control the degree of face bending at impact, which keeps ball-speed performance consistent while simultaneously dampening the unwanted high-frequency vibrations that cause a harsh, clanging feel. The result is a noticeably soft, solid impact sensation that is rare in a club of this size and forgiveness level — a true hallmark of PING's expertise in acoustic engineering.
The G740 face is forged from Hyper 17-4 stainless steel — a high-strength alloy approximately three times stronger than standard 304 stainless steel — which allows PING engineers to make the face significantly thinner and therefore more flexible across a greater surface area. Greater flex means more energy is returned to the ball at impact, generating faster ball speeds, a higher launch, and more distance with every club in the set. The larger face also widens the effective hitting zone, delivering added forgiveness for off-center strikes and the consistent ball-stopping ability needed to hit and hold greens.
The G740's address profile combines a longer blade length with a visibly thicker topline — two design choices that deliberately shift mass to the perimeter of the clubhead, raising the moment of inertia (MOI) to its highest level in any PING iron to date. High MOI means the face resists twisting on off-center hits, preserving more ball speed and directional accuracy even on shots struck toward the toe or heel. A shallower face height and shorter hosel free up additional mass to be redistributed deep into the cavity, further elevating MOI and delivering the consistent strikes that the target golfer needs to improve their game.
The wider sole ensures a forgiving, smooth interaction with the turf on every shot, minimizing the penalty for slightly early or late ball contact. A shorter hosel design redirects saved weight directly into the cavity for improved feel at impact. High-density toe and tip weights are precisely positioned to fine-tune the swing weight of every iron in the set, ensuring a consistent, balanced feel from the 5-iron through to the 56° wedge. Custom-fitted swing-weight values can be further dialed in through PING's fitting process to match individual player preferences.
The PING G740 irons are fitted as standard with the PING AWT 3.0 steel shaft, which features a progressive weight design throughout the set. Lighter shafts in the long irons promote higher swing speed and maximum launch height, while progressively heavier shafts in the mid and short irons provide the control and precision needed for approach shots. For players preferring graphite, the ALTA CB Blue graphite shaft offers a lightweight, counterbalanced construction that supports a mid-high to high launch — ideal for players seeking even more help getting the ball airborne. Custom shaft options are available on request.

These are design specifications that may vary due to manufacturing tolerances. Lie angle is based on the Black color code at standard length. Bounce angles may vary slightly if non-standard loft specifications are ordered. Standard swingweight values for graphite-shaft builds are 2–3 points lower than those listed, depending on shaft flex. Achievable swingweight values depend on the shaft and grip combination selected. Available for right-hand and left-hand players. Shaft weights listed are based on the trimmed length of a 7-iron and may differ from the shaft manufacturer's published specifications.
