Ping G430 Irons vs Ping i525 Irons ARE You GOOD Enough? With the Ping G430 being the most Forgiving and Distance inspired of these two, you may find that depending on club head speed and strike that you may gain a few more yards from the G430, whilst the i525 takes on the Players Distance market but with a surprising amount of Forgiveness packed in a smaller more Players looking design. The Ping i525 still is a great All Rounder.

I525 were horrible on thinny shots
Nice analysis, but main takeaway for me is to line up toward the toe.
so interesting..common theme with reviews on all channels not just yours…game improvement iron hit centre of every green..then they get the 'better player iron out' and hit it knowhere near aswell yet say they prefer it…not a dig as i love your stuff but its all ego imo and everyones same
Thoughts on club sp 80avg, for a stiff i525?
Any idea when the i525 will be replaced (presumably by the i530?)?
Thanks Jay, an interesting comparison between two contemporary clubs and also two very different looking clubs presumably aimed at different categories of golfers. So, when I checked the Maltby Playability Factor, these two clubs came out completely different. In fact, the G430 has a MPF rating of 731 i.e. 'game improvement', whereas the i525 has a MPF of 321 which put it in the 'classic' range. These two clubs therefore should be chalk and cheese!
Thanks for the video! I actually liked how you showed the misses and the way the i525 still worked well but you could feel the hit off center.
I’m a high handicapper, top end 70s ( age) with G25’s. Worth changing to 430’s??great report
Great video! Thank you for the content, the detail of information you give is awesome! I’m on the fence right now…. I play 921 forged and got to hit i525 for the first time today. I play modus 120 and these had dg 105 s300, I really enjoyed hitting those 525’s! Brought back memories of my i20’s I had back in the day. Front to back dispersion was fantastic! Very consistent irons.
Nice work on this. Been between clubs and this should help me make up my mind
Really having a hard time trying to decide between staying with cavity backs or moving to a players distance. Love the feel(when struck right) and look of PD irons but as a mid-handicap w/good club speed, not sure if they are forgiving enough for an inconsistent striker.
Curious weather you feel there is a bigger gap in performance if the swing speed is in the high 70s. I am an 8 handicap and prefer the looks and feel of the i525 but currently are using Callaway XR irons which would be more like the G430.
Seems like the 525 held more distance on misshits
I love my i525. I tried many different irons in my fitting, as a matter of fact i525 wasn't even on my radar. Once my fitter put it in my hand, I loved it. I went from a bulkier forged iron (D9). This seemed so much smaller, lighter, etc. and looking down at it, it just made sense to me. I did loose distance, but I don't mind that. You were spot on with the feel, sound, etc. My old irons I hit alot off the mat with. One of the caps on the back of the head came off after hitting so much. Wilson went good and replaced it for free for me, which I was ecstatic about. Without it, it was so loud to hit. This is partly why I went with the i525. Just being minimalist with an iron.
This video makes me rethink my selection of P790 over i525… been struggling a lot with toe strikes this season. Good video as always, Jay!
How strokes do you think you save if you played the G430 over the i525
If your not a pro and playing in tournaments where lowest score matters how much are you losing playing the I525?
Can you review the Ping iCrossover 2 iron for a driving iron and review the different settings as well? Your full swing speed is similar to mine and curious to see what the settings do to the flight, carry and total distance
That looked very close, that i525 seems a great club
I'm surprised that the G430 with the stronger loft was hitting higher than the G225.
I wanna see a Ping blueprint forgiveness video…. Rumored to be most forgiving blade
