Ping Eye 2 Plus Iron set Golf Club

I have owned and played both the BECU and stainless steel versions of the eye 2 and eye 2 + along with many other iron sets(Hogan, Hagen, Ram, Callaway and Titleist to name a few) and no one has made an iron to surpass the original Eye 2 Ping irons. They are straight, forgiving and long. You can work them right or left if you are able to do both or either. Any changes in design still stick to the original perimiter weighting idea. The eye 2 + has a little stronger loft and less meat in the sole which helps someone who does not need help getting the ball in the air. If you get a chance to own either, you will never need to buy irons again.

I have used Ping Eye 2 Irons for 17 years, broke my 2 iron on the driving range, and decided that switching clubs was not an option. I have loved the feel that I get when I hit a shot. Clubs are extremely forgiving and minimizes mis-hits. I use the 1 iron- the SW and the quality of material has stayed consistent with the exception of re-gripping. Recommend to any one high handicapper to scratch golfer.

If you strike the ball well but don't want to pay a fortune for a set, these are the best bargain on Ebay.

These clubs can be great for you if you buy the right ones fit for you. Ping helps to make this easier, especially for you folks buying on Ebay, and not in a store. I did the static fit on Ping.com and previously had a local professional fit me dynamically. Because of this, I found the perfect match for me and I'm not afraid to buy them online. The website even tells you which shaft to go with if you know how far you typically hit your 6 iron. I found that by working on tempo and not trying to kill the ball, I am able to gain considerable distance and accuracy over my old irons (Titleist DCI 990) just by using these clubs and slowing it down a bit.

When you buy the proper length and lie, you will be amazed at how much better you strike the ball.

My point is this; get a solid fitting in before you buy any irons. They might be a good deal, but there is a reason Ping fits you to the club.

About the Ping irons. These irons play well. I found it easy to shape shots from right to left. It was a bit more difficult left to right, but I've never been able to do that well anyhow. Because I was able to let the club hit the ball and control my tempo better, the ball flight is consistent and the carry is, too. My accuracy has increased dramatically, as well. Especially from the 8 iron down to the pitching wedge. The shot trajectory is much higher and softer landing with these and I don't get a lot of roll. Again, especially from the 8 iron down.

I attribute a lot of the improvements to the change in my tempo, but I give the Pings the credit for helping me change the tempo of my swing and really feel what I am doing with the shot more than that of other irons I have hit. Mishits are not so bad either. You really have to shank the ball or leave the clubface open to mess a shot up with these.

Expect to pay more for the various graphite shafts. The Ping custom WRX clubs are usually more as well. If you find a set of Pingss with a matching sand wedge, jump on them because the sand wedges are hard to find individually.

A lot of times, the owners name has been applied to the club. I found you can get this off easily with acetone and light sandpaper if it is screened in and not etched. You might ask the seller when this is listed this way.

In addition, if you are not very good at the long irons (2,3, and 4) you may want to look at the G5 hybrids. I have them too. If you hit the ball hard, but typically slice or hook, the hybrids dramatically reduce the mishit effect.

Be careful when bidding. There are some demo clubs floating around out there. Check with the seller for serial numbers as all Ping consumer clubs have them. Pay attention to feedback scores. This is Ebay's barometer of service. I swear by the feedback system.

I hope you found this info helpful.

I've played Ping Eye 2+ irons for many years and just loved them. Then I started up the Ping line of product, ISI, i3, G5, and now I'm playing G2's because I like them better than the G5 irons. But of late I just purchased another set of Ping Eye 2's and I'm going to give them another chance. They are not as long as the newer irons but accurate and confidence is what you want. Just ask Lumpy from the PGA Tour.

I concur with many other golfers who feel the Ping Eye 2's are the best set of irons ever made. I have played them for nearly 15 years I really can't see me ever playing another iron unless some new breakthrough in technology renders these obsolete. They are easy hit and very forgiving yet at the same time allows the better player to manipulate the ball. The deep cavity backs and the square grooves on the faces changed the way clubs were made forever and there is a reason for that.
