Ping G30 Irons reviewed and tested by Mark Crossfield PGA professional AskGolfGuru. The new Ping iron takes over from the Ping 25 and features high MOI and easy to hit qualities. The larger headed Ping G30 iron looks classic Ping and will appeal to a wide range of handicap golfers. See if the Ping G30 could help you play some better golf and lower your scores.
Still playing G5 irons and won't be changing for a long time. Love em.
good club
Hi Mark. Bought these Irons yesterday, out on the course today. Wish me luck, thanks for the video.
I'm loving the new Ping G30 irons. They are a major update from my Ping G2 irons.
Love my new G 30 irons--The best irons I have ever hit--My handicapp has improved by 7 strokes since I started playing them-very consistent-great ball flight-A truly fun club to hit!!
They are great clubs
I'm 13 using some Ping isi irons and I love them. I would honestly recommend getting them over newer clubs, as they are cheap, have a great feel, and nice workability if you are to that point in your game.
I hit them at a pro shop the other day and noticed a complete difference to the TMs I was also hitting. I currently hit TM and have really liked them, but, these just feel far superior (IMO). thanks for the video Mark. LOVE your work
I'd love to see a trackman comparison between g2,g5,g10,g15,g25 & g30 irons .... I know ping don't pump put gear like tm do, but Atleast tm irons from ten years ago are significantly different from now.
In fact some video reviews comparing older gear to the new stuff would be very interesting mark.
they would never let this happen - it would flag up all the marketing nonsense !
Great video Mark. I play the g25s and interesting what you say about the difference. May have just saved me some money!!
I had a fitting today. Tried G20, 25 and 30 and I have to say that there was little between them. What I did notice is that as a high handicap player, I found the older clubs more stable and forgiving. So I bought a set of G20s. I'm not interested in fashion or having the latest thing, so the G20 irons were perfect for me and I saved a bit too.
You will LOVE them !!!
i'm looking at upgrading from my TM LCG's to either these or the I25's. You have made excellent points here for the G25, combined w/ some Glide Wedges. Thanks.
just saved me money Mark thank you. i will stick with my G25's I know Ping won't thank you for that but I have already seen a comment similar so multiply that a few times and that means lots of happy ping customers with modern gear albeit a year or two old :) and lots of new ping customers i think, can't beat an honest review thanks again :)
I currently have Callaway Big Bertha's (2004) which were supposed to be very forgiving compared to everything else when they came out. Depending on whether you are familiar with them, are the G30's likely to be an improvement given 10 yrs advancement in technology etc. I already have G30 woods and hybrids that I am very happy with.
i've been using my Dad's i3s want my own set, gone for the G30 can't wait to get them now and have a proper go. They felt great at the fitting :)
i currently use rocketbladez tour irons that I got from a friend. im a 8 handicap but was thinking about going back to something more forgiving. i really like the review on these Mark I think you just sold a set of Ping G30 to me!!
Gutted these came out literally 2 weeks after i just brought a brand new set of G25s.... American Golf kept these G30s quiet when i was entering my chip and pin!
I think, since Ping has introduced their Karston Irons, it allows them to slim up the G line of irons. Really nice to me.
good comment
Great review...but would really like to see G30 up against some older models like G2. G10 and G15 for example just to see how far if at all the different models have moved on..This would also make a great video to compare driver models...
good point
Gaming i25s. Right now the Apex's are the only ones that can beat the i25s, but I will be trying the G30 irons, just to compare. I am definitely trying the driver no doubt.
Playing my old copper beryllium eye 2's, and just got a set of these!
Are these any good mate?
Great review as always Mark!
I do miss my old Ping i3 blades since switching to some Mizuno JPX 800 pros. Thinking of going after these and going back to ping.....Contemplating dropping my Titty 910 D3 for the G30 Driver also for more consistency.
I missed my old Ping i3's but went TM big mistake. If you liked i3's try the i25's I did and prefer these to G25.
Hi Mark would love to see G30 vs G430. Curious how much better the tech is. G30 was a great club!
the advantage of G30 over G25 is that you only need eight irons to cover 21 - 50 degrees span instead of nine irons for G25. It frees up space to carry another club. Both irons are excellent.
I tested g30's and I loved the short irons, but when I got to the 6 iron they launched very high, and didn't have any roll. Instead I bought a set of bio cells to replace my burner 2.0's.
Love the look on these, but I think the Karstens would help a higher handicap golfer like me...
Probably going to go from callaway razr x forged 2009 to some G30's. Can't really argue with stability
Going for a fitting tomorrow. Going to hit G30s and G25s. I will let you know what I think
Just got g30 ping irons. Love them
hey Mark i was wondering on which Brand & Blades would you rather hit? I used to play the Ping i3 years ago and i jus got back into golf and bought my first set of Nike Coverts and loved them. now i'm playing with Nike VR TW Blades for my first set of Blades and i love them. i'll never go back to a chunky iron ever again, it's the feel and how much more your able to work the ball so easy and looking down before swinging the irons jus looking at a Blade is so much nicer. i was wondering what you thoughts on the Nike's Blades and Ping's Blades and which one you rather would play with. i've also hit the MP4 and to me they felt jus like the Nike's VR Pro
Hi Mark, liking the reviews. I used to have a handicap in the single figures as a junior but haven't played much since. I've just started playing again in the last couple of months and am probably around a 20-25 handicap but I have the time and determination to get this down to the single figures again. I'm currently looking at the Ping i25 and g30 irons. Which would you recommend, bearing in mind that I don't want to have to buy another set of clubs in 2 years time? Thanks
Great review as always mark. I have just returned to golf after about 6 years away, and have the original ping zing graphite irons in my bag. Difficult question perhaps, but do you think as a 6 handicapper I would benefit from switching to these? I plan to try them soon, and value your opinion, thanks.
Hi Mark, great vid m8 I really don't know what to do cos I love my
g10 irons. should I take the plunge and go for it? I've just purchased
g30 sf 12 degree driver and love it. What's your feelings g30/g25 v g10 irons? I'm playing off 20hc however I think this is gonna be reduced with my week old g30 driver i'm hitting the fairway every time instead of it gently splaying into the tree line on the right,,, Terry
Great video, Mark. Love your relaxed style - and relaxed golf shots... I have Ping G2s and am considering the G30s. Are they a considerable step up from G2s? Many thanks.
Loving all these videos, Mark! Great content as always!
I'm curious, when you say "you could easily play these irons and have a hard time not putting them in the bag". Why is that? a WITB of your current setup would also be pretty cool to see.
I still love my i3's, I wonder how much improvement I'd get from a set of today's equivalent model, possibly not £500 worth...
4 years gaming Ping Zing 2's here in the US, Love Em ! However, got custom fit and switched to G30. Clubs arrived a dealer this week. they are 1/2"longer, less off-set and noticeably heavier than Zing 2. So far, I think I like them, (good hits feel and fly great) but still taking some getting used to. Any advise ?
Love your Channel !
In your opinion which clubs do you feel are more forgiving the Callaway XR or the Ping G30
I've got a set of ping eye 2s and am hitting my 7 iron around the 150yd mark. If I upgrade to the g30s will I be getting extra distance?? Playing off a handicap of 20
Loving the g30 driver too, goes insanely well for me
Would you suggest graphite or steel shaft for the weekend, close to Senior player? Average in the 90's score card.
Just bought some of these. Amazing club
mark, are these suitable for beginners? its a toss up between C x2 hot, T M speedblade and G30s. Ay thoughts? Suggestions?
I didn't know these were so close to coming out and bought a set of G25s not too long ago. Would it be worth paying the extra $100 and getting the G30s or are they not that much different?
Funny, I'm actually using a used set of black dot Eye2s, although they were owned by someone 5'8" tall. I'm 6'3" . . . maybe need to get new ones fitted! lol
Been using G2 been offered G30 irons should I take them
So should I get the Karsten's, the G25's, or the G30's? What's the difference????
(i'm like whatever the max handicap is)
Mark I have just bought a new set of Cleveland 588 CB's. When testing the clubs the pro told me never use range balls when testing clubs, regarding shaping the ball, and general hitting.
I was also told by American Golf that the range balls don't give you the correct feel or distance.
My point to you is why don't you use what the average low to mid handicapper uses in golf balls i.e AD333 etc that type..
Apart from that normally enjoy the video's . . .
If you watch the video, he clearly says that the numbers he shows are based on hitting Titleist ProV1x balls. Not the range balls.
David Q But he isn't hitting Pro V1 balls . . .
james eadie He is when he is taking launch monitor data. Go and look at the videos before and after this one. Notice anything? Mark's wearing the same clothes, meaning he recorded these on the same day. When he gives real ball numbers, there are usually only three or four recordings. In other recordings he's mentioned that he's already hit some real balls before he hits the range balls.
Now Mark can correct me on this but he probably hit all the different clubs he was going to record with, with real ball at one time. This way his good, "expensive," ProV1xs could be picked up and not mixed in with the range balls.
The driver numbers were probably taken inside anyway. Mark's said in the past that they have to use those range balls, because real balls with a driver will come to close to the homes in the background.
David Q David am not Sherlock Holmes, open a few Pro V1's if he is a decent pro he wouldn't use crap balls . . . Not that he is a bad pro
james eadie I give up. Mark said it best in his reply to your other comment..... what?
Mark I have Ping Zing 2, very old yes. I am looking for better irons, would I see the difference with the technology in the new irons benefit my game if I got these?
Definitely worth a go
these look great, are they as forgiving as the ap1 716?
Mark, how would you compare the G30s to the Karsten irons?
I am still gaming the G2 irons and love them to death. What does everyone think: keep playing them or get fitted again?
Played G2 Irons when i first started, IMHO, get fitted, not for G30s, but for G25 irons.
Try the g25s but also try out marks irons, the mizuno ez's. They are very comparable in looks and market but for me the mizunos felt better.
You seemed to be more enthusiastic about the G25 irons. Is that because you like the G25 irons more? I wasn't convinced that G25 is better. Can you give us some more details, maybe another video on G25 irons?
do these feel better than TM rocketballz? I am thinking of making the switch just cuz i hate telling ppl i own a set of rocketballz when they ask what i'm hitting. I thought it would be fun to say, but its not.
haha they do feel very nice
Haha, I've got some RocketBallz... in my pants.
Ping irons are the absolute BEST I have ever played....EVER !
Never played better than today and I am 60 ! I owe about 95% of that to my Ping G15's. Problem is....I am now terrified to change up to the 30's or any new edition that comes out. Interesting dilemma Ping has....you make a great club and nobody wants to buy your new stuff !!!
love my g25 irons,
they sound amazing
I like the idea of junkier irons for more forgiveness, they just dont seem to work for me, 'cause they are maybe not as versatile than a blade or semi-blade...
Mark, I currently play Cobra Baffler Irons and was looking at buying the G30's. Will they be a significant upgrade? Or am I just waisting my money?
Depends on what your looking for. Feel yes, but in distance probably not.
Do you think it would give me more control and stability?
I'm not to worried about distance. I would rather be more accurate.
What kind of shoes Mark?
Mark, I don't have anywhere local to get on a launch monitor, I learn by understanding my mechanics. Any ideas.
I dont understand the quesrions sorry
burtonsb145 I think I understand your question. I would say to keep learning by feel. Granted computers will help you understand a lot more of the technical stuff, but going out there and hitting your irons and drivers is the best way to feel out your clubs.
Know it's a long time since it was posted, but to understand your mechanics look at Marks videos and use eg V1 golf app with your cell phone. Last summer I used it on tripods filmed 2-3 strokes checkad the video, and adjusted my self, it is possible to draw lines etc, to see if you have early extensions, over the top etc. Fixed my chicken wing and over the top issues. I also took some lesson where they used this. It is also a good tool to follow up after a couple of weeks practise, and you feeling have changed.
Always enjoy the reviews, very solid. I game the g15's and these are looking great, I like they are a little longer with this set as opposed to the 25's. keep up the work Mark!! #letsgetstuckin
thanks Garrett
+1 for the g15s. I got them when they came out and i tried out the g20s, and g25s when they came out... no significant difference for me, same great high ball flight. I'll still be giving these a go! :)
Thomas Storey I am glad you responded with that, I was gonna ask Mark his opinion on whether a change from G15 to G30 would be worth it. Obviously the looks are different (thinner top and bottom lines, progressive set, and color is darker), but is the performance difference that great that it would make sense to buy the 30's. What do you think?
Very honest review. Thanks.
thanks for watching
can the heel weight on a g30 sf tec driver be altered
Great review! I think I swap my Cleveland cg14 for these :)
good swap
Mark why don't u try these out on the next few course vlogs just for the fun of it???
g10's for life yo. don't need no 30s I'm sticking with my 10s
What brand of shoes are you wearing, Mark?
I have no clue, but the soles look very nice
I think they're Eccos. Tour Hybrid Wingtip, if I were to put a specific guess on it.
Hi Mark,
Great video. Keep up the excellent work!
I have G10s and was wondering you opinion on those irons in comparison with the G30s. I am thinking of changing - not sure which irons as yet so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
I am now buying these based on testing a G20. I hate graphite irons.
Mark. What shoes are those?
New shoes again? Ecco Tour Hybrids cool!!!
very comfy
Looking for Nike Vapor line review...
Mark, i currently have the G15s, would this be a good time to upgrade. I really like the 15s but would like to see what the newer club will do for me
Kevin Reinartz Kevin, I'm not a professional golfer or even close by any means. If you are unsure if its a good time to upgrade or not go to your local golf shop that has an indoor range meaning computer generated "driving range" and go test out some new clubs, you may or may not get incredible results. You may end up sticking with the 15s or you may crush the new clubs and think to yourself.. Yes it's time for an upgrade! The best thing anyone can do in your situation is go out there and hit some of the new clubs. It's not gonna hurt to try some out. Good Luck buddy!
Thanks for the input Brian Fuhrmaneck I actually did go to a local golf shop and hit on gc2-hmt... G30s were very low spin and low launch for me... Actually out of all of the clubs surprisingly the Nike Vapor Pros were the best fit. Ended up taking them home after about a week of testing clubs... Had to get a new glove because I was swinging so much... Ball flight with the Nikes was much more consistent, higher trajectory, more spin, better distance control, I could hit the fade, draw, low, high, etc. Looking forward to playing with them this season. First couple rounds have been promising, still figuring out my distance with them though.
Congratulations Kevin! Pretty much just like you said. When people recommend clubs to use, it's all about feel. I'm glad you found yourself a set of clubs you like! I hope it helps your game!
I've got g20 and like them as well. However looking at titleist ap2. Would switching from g20 to g30 make sense?
Would be worth a fit to try.
Mark Crossfield thx a lot. Will get into that later this year to take profit of decreasing prices and not switch my gear mid season ;) Not that it would make any difference.... Been playing rather decently with the G20 and certainly do like the chunky looks and feel, however been struggling with the heaviness of them even though I'm a big guy.
So, making the lofts stronger and lengthen the clubs was almost bad on the Rocketbladez but is "lovely" on the G30? You were making such a big fuss about the lofts and length of the TMs or even any similar club but not on the Pings. I dont get it!
It is obvious that the K or Karsten series will be discontinued. I guess the i-series is becoming the all new Ping standard-club if they aren't renaming them...
My dad still uses eye 2's!
worth a fitting with g30 maybe
Same.
Reshafted them with s300s and they are money. High and straight all day.
classic PING NESS. LMAO
i use my dads 16 year old ping i3s.......
Mark, I like most of your videos, but have you ever hit a club that you actually DID NOT LIKE?
Which one have you hit that you did not like and why please.
Where's the turbulators? lol
Will everyone please stop saying "I am gaming these irons", it's not "gaming", it's either using or playing. "Gaming" is a stupid Americanism which you shouldn't use unless you're an American
Hey Bubba..."Americans" speak ENGLISH !! Ummmm.....where do you think that comes from ??!! American is a nationality, not a language.
why use range balls, you can give real numbers with crap balls
what?
mark i was commenting on using good clubs reviewing these and hitting range balls . . how can you judge these if the balls you are hitting are poor
james eadie all numbers done with real balls. The balls are fine, it is all relative.
pay attention before making yourself look like a spastic!
Brendon Cornell I am a spastic
