I played a few rounds with my old Ping Eye 2 set. I had a pitching wedge and a sand wedge with it and noticed that eventhough these things are 25 years old the grooves were in great shape. I also noticed that they were more closely spaced than my Vokey wedges. I was getting great spin off of these, actually backing the ball up 15 or 20 feet on the greens. So I decided to play these for a while. I also bought this Ping Eye 2+ BeCu. The copper was supposed to "feel" great. The Eye 2+ was 53 degree vs 58 so I thought I would replace my gap wedge with it and the copper will look really cool. I bought this wedge and was greatly disappointed. I also bought ISI BeCu irons and sold them two weeks later. I went back to my Vokey 56 and 60 degree wedges after I realized that they were more precise than the 25 year old Pings, but I have kept this wedge in the bag. I read that 53* was not enough loft for most people to play out of the sand but I have not had any trouble with it. It is great out of the sand and the deep grass bunkers. The large bonce and heavy head work great for me there. I also get great spin out of the fairway, but the precission is not there like with newer clubs. The copper head does look cool but it was probably not worth the extra money as far as performance. It will not last as long as the stainless steel but it is fine for the way I plan to use it. Out of the deep grass you just hope to get it on the green close to the hole. Ping Eye 2's set the standard in the 80s and most all modern clubs were based on some aspect that Ping pioneered but the new clubs are better. Just not as cool.Read full review
I recently bought a ping eye 2+ lob wedge, and it has matched everything i am looking for in a wedge. The club is very forgiving which is a signature of ping golf equipment, and it is also very good at creating shots. The club is easy to open up, and it does a good job of getting the ball in the air. I am no longer afraid of hitting a flop off the toe and sending it straight right. I can make this baby sit down. This club is also great for full shots. I am a digger, and this club goes through the turf well. This club is just like the eye 2+ sand wedge i've played off and on for a couple years now, but it has more loft which is nice. I am excited to see how it plays out of the bunkers. I have not been in them yet, but i feel like a 58 degree wedge will be awesome. The 53 sand has worked well, but i think the extra loft will help. I would recommend this wedge to anyone that loves ping golf clubs.Read full review
This sand wedge completes my collection. I have the Ping Eye 2's in my bag and had to much of a gap from my sand wedge to my pitching wedge. I noticed that the Ping Eye 2+ sand wedge had a loft of 53 degrees compared to my Ping Eye 2 of 57.5. So when I found a Ping Eye 2+ on Ebay, I jumped all over it. I purchased it the other day and just received it in the mail. When it arrived, I thought that it was going to be in pretty rough shape(pictures don't do justice to clubs), but I was pleasantly surprised. The club was in great shape for being 20 years old. I have already taken the club out and hit a few balls. It is very comparable in regards to swingability to my Ping Eye 2's. It is very forgiving and easy to hit. I would recommend this club to anyone who is looking for a great wedge. In my honest opinion, Ping Eye 2's are still some of the greatest irons made in golf. I love them and they will never leave my bag.Read full review
Karsten made the breakthrough with the investment cast process and the perimeter weighting that came along with it. The Eye2 + came along a bit later, offering stronger lofts and a more versatile bounce on the sole of the club. I invested in Ping Eye 2's primarily for the benefit of forgiveness on the mid irons, so I currently have BeCu 4-9 irons. I purchased a Eye 2 + PW (50.5*) to match. Subsequently went for the Eye 2 + SW (53*) and then to the Eye 2 SW (57*). In this 3 step process I replaced forged wedges. I didn't expect to see the benefit of Eye 2 design show up in these shorter clubs, but I have to say that, for me, I see no drop off in quality of short game shots. Regarding square grooves; I see no issue here. I can spin the ball more with my Wilson Staff wedges. For an amateur like me the groove design is of no additional benefit. It's the look, the bounce, and the swingweight that these clubs offer that pays off. I noticed Ping has reissued the Eye 2 wedge series recently. So here's to Karsten! I'm playing clubs that are older than some of the opponents I'm beating!Read full review
the ping eye 2 plus wedges are under rated. there just as good or better than the more expensive eye 2 plus be cu wedges. i have used both and believe me they have the same feel and feedback. however the be cu is becoming harder to get for the collector and so are the eye 2 plus steel.soon they both will be harder to get so if i was you all i would buy every eye 2 plus i could get my hands on. they will only go up in price for they are still better than any modern wedge out there.
