Like almost every GI iron on the market, the face of the G30 is very thin, but the difference is that the G30 doesn’t feel like it. In fact, the feel leads you to believe you’re hitting the ball with a sledgehammer …and it’s awesome. The sound is very minimal and very deep – no clinks, tinks, or other metallic sounds here.

The one pronounced difference between the G30’s sole and that of the i25 is that the G25 is wider on the trailing edge. It’s not a portion of the sole that comes into play as far as turf interaction is concerned. Instead, the extra width allows more mass to be placed…you guessed it, low and rear.

Looking for a new set of irons. Currently a 18 handicap but have decided to get custom fit for a set of irons that I will keep for a number of years.

I would at least try out the G30s before making the decision. IMO there was a notable difference in feel between my G20s and the new G30s. Now I'm scheduled to get fitted for a set of G30s next week and will be putting the G20s on eBay.

I had the G20 vs G25 debate this time last year and paid a bit more for the G25. Both will perform very similar but the G20s were just too big for me. The G25 is very similar to the G10 which I loved (and should never have got rid of!). Try both and see which you prefer. I tried the G30 and didn't see much difference between it and the G25s.

Mortons is a fine choice since they know the routine regarding ordering older clubs from Ping. Just about any seller with a Ping account can order individual irons too, whether they realize it or not. Ping's are price fixed so no worry about paying too much. Ebay or the BST forum (post in the wanted to buy forum) are also good choices.

I thought the soles were beveled starting with the G25 to improve turf interaction. Love my G25's, replaced my G15s.
