[@lawbinson]

The W is a 50. If one throws away preconceived notions of distance and work backwards from the distance rather than from the number on the sole, they’re just fantastic irons.

[@craiggagnon8407]

awesome post. I agree with you a tonne.

[@kevinvassago]

A 3 iron in the ping is probably comparable to a modern 4 iron i imagine, so just choose a # less than contemporary lofts

[@MMcG25]

Yep! I play old Wilson Staff Bulletbacks and Progressive Forged sets and I just consider my PW as a Gap Wedge and work my way back from there.

[@lawbinson]

Try the Ping Zing 2’s! They look weird for sure, but give them a few rounds and you’ll find they’re a unicorn iron. Player’s sole design and control with GI level MOI. There’s a reason Westy played them for so long

[@markzinda8863]

Think I first played Ping Eye 2s back in 1984. Thanks to you, I’m going to T&D Golf in Oldsmar tomorrow to pick-up a set of White Dots & an Anser putter. Hope the time tunnel trip pays off!

I know a guy who still plays ping eye 2 in 2022. He loves them and still shoots in the 70's.

[@LetsPlayThru]

That’s amazing!

[@stanfordhiga2135]

Years ago I tried every club in the shop new and used… they felt so good and I hit them straight. I bought them used. I took them to Ping where they fit them to me free of charge. They re-gripped them for a small fee. They looked brand new. The lofts are not the same as other clubs so when my friends ask me what club I’m using… I tell them don’t ask me… I had to take them to the range and figure out the distance for each club. After all these years I still love them.

[@johnz8886]

Great video. I also had a full set of ping eye 3-pw in beryllium copper and 2 ping zing 2 sand wedges in beryllium copper. To this day I can’t believe I sold those clubs on eBay 😢

[@DukeFame88]

I started playing two years ago at 50 years old. Not wanting to spend a lot as a beginner, I found Ping Eye 2's in a 6, 7, 8, 9 and W at a goodwill. I love these irons despite still shooting in 90s. I don't know anything different so these videos are fun to watch.

[@MikeBriggs24]

Legendary Pings! The Ping Eye 2 clubs certainly set the standard in golf clubs with Karsten and his NASA engineering background. I still own a complete set of Eye 2 + (2-SW) and ISI Nickle (2-PW) to go along with my new G430s. I've been a Ping player since the early 80s and collect the older putters. Actually prefer the older "classic" putters better than the newer PLDs.

[@Treyz44]

I am 27 and I play ping eye 2's from 2-9 and W and a Callaway 60° Forged V. I want to get a wedge to fill the gap between the two. What would you recommend? Also what putter would you recommend for someone that loves the old ping putters that make the "PING" noise but don't really know what to get or are they not worth playing today?

[@MikeBriggs24]

@@Treyz44 As far as wedges go, it really depends on the turf conditions where you normally play. I use a low bounce MG4 for all but winter conditions. And this time of year I game the Cleveland Smartsole wedges. The grass here is generally dormant bermuda with awful lies. The smartsole wedges are ugly, but really perform well. For putters, I recommend maybe a Scottsdale Anser either in BeCu or Nickle. I have several of these that are such a joy to game. But the putter in my bag today is a PLD Anser D.

[@Treyz44]

These irons brought back so much memories for me. I learned to play golf using a custom set of Ping Eye 2 Orange dot when i was 12 years old. Won my first tournament with them at age 13. Kept them all thru college and i wish i hung on to them. Biggest regret of my life was selling them. Would love to find another set for nostalgia. Enjoyed your video !!! Thanks for the memories.

Gabe, what an awesome video! I share your enthusiasm on older clubs with a passion. Although I currently play JPX921 Hot Metals my #1 somewhat older irons I love, and still own to this day are the Ping Rapture V2’s from about 2009. I have a full set 3-LW with the TCF-939i graphite shafts and they are my treasure! They only have about 12 games use as I have about 4 sets of irons I rotate just for fun but they are a treasure. I love your enthusiasm keep up the great videos.

Many thanks, Wes. I need to check out those Raptures. Don't think I've ever swung them.

[@jerharr9908]

I bought a complete set in orange dot from barber's point pro shop when I was in the Navy for 512.00 and my game improved 100%. I sold them when I got out of the Navy and regretted it. I later bought a set of the copies which are very nice but couldn't get over the loss of those irons. So I recently bought another entire set off of ebay for about 165 dollars. I love em

[@bathman6366]

What was so great about this video Gabe, was that we are accustomed to which clubs you hit on your home course on certain holes/situations. So it was such a great comparison to see how these sticks have held up over time! If you ever see any TaylorMade RAC irons, these play soft & long, and are my favourite classic "Sunday set." So many of us upgraded from RAC to the Sim or M2, it would be interesting to see how these stack up against modern clubs. Great work!

[@LetsPlayThru]

And to think the score was the same if not maybe better (and went irons only from the tees). Pretty crazy stuff! I'll def look out for those RACs. That would be a great comparison.

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

Living in the PHX area, I’ve been collecting Ping stuff for several years. Out here you can find Ping clubs in the Goodwills from time to time and I found a Black Dot 4-GW set of Eye 2’s about 4 years ago! 🥰 I’ve played with them off and on over the years and they’re my favorite out of the 3 sets of Pings I’ve collected. If you find em, scoop em up, friends…you won’t regret it!

[@DanWessonSpecialist]

I bought sets of 3-SW for my daughter and my son. Orange dot and black dot. Both purchased last year for $90 and $120. Same week I bought a set of beryllium Ping Eye 2+, 3-LW with matching serial numbers. I hit them at the range some. They are old school standard lofts (PW is 48 or 49*, 7 iron measured 35*). By today’s jacked up clubs they are short distance. Ping Eye 2 will last 50 years. My current putter is a 40 year old Ping Zing. I normally play blades, and this week received my new Takomo 101T irons.

I had a set of Ping Eye 2+ (I think the + was a change in the grooves, not certain) and I played with them for several years back in what I would guess was the mid-90's. I loved them and maintained a low single digit handicap with those clubs. The lofts on them are so much weaker than what the modern clubs have. As I recall, the 7 iron was something like 35 degrees, weaker than most modern 8 irons. Now, at age 72, I need all the distance help I can get.

I still rock my Ping G15 irons. There's not a chance I am changing them for anything modern. I hit straight almost always with them. There's a lot to be said for older ping irons and newcomers shouldn't look elsewhere. They are very forgiving clubs and never cost a fortune.

I wanted to embrace the modern tech and so bought a set of PXG 0211 but i'm struggling to hit them as accurately and as well as the Pings. Sure the PXG go a lot further, 7 Iron of PXG is equivelant to the 5 iron in the Pings but I hit the 5 iron of the Pings with such a nice strike and the sound is amazing. What I want is a set of the Pings with the modern lofts and tech but with the feel and sound of the old clubs. You suggested Wilson may be close, what about Srixon forged? Have you tried them?

Yeah, that sound is so sweet. I did try Srixons but didn't seem to get along with them personally. Although when I brought my dad for a custom fitting that's what he chose - ZX4 to be exact. So I'd say def try them out. And yes, Wison has those classic vibes in both looks and sound/feel.

[@LetsPlayThru]

You didn’t want the shirt off 🤣🤣

[@amigopheasantkiller]

@@LetsPlayThru yup! im sure you are quite the specimen....but i didn't want to take any chances lol

[@901pics]

I still have my gold dot ping eye twos...should I put new shafts in them? If so what?

[@mrpunkin]

I still man these as my main clubs. Love em.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Awesome which color dot?

[@mrpunkin]

@@LetsPlayThru Black dot, 2i - 9i. Lost any wedges I had along the way somewhere. I do have a matching era Ping ISI black dot SW though that I play.

It's not strange that you hit the 8 iron 135-140 yards. The Eye2 8 iron is probably 40-41 degrees of loft. if I remember correctly the 5 iron is like 28 degrees.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yes exactly. I think thru the bag they are about 4-6º weaker than modern sets.

[@dennisdrewry5625]

Always regrip them. Keep a set myself because they were the best selling iron at one time

[@zacarich]

I love my ping eye 2 coppers . 2 through pw in a whole bag of clubs at a garage sale for 60 dollars. Sold rest of clubs for 175. I play my best rounds with them.

[@LetsPlayThru]

damn, that's one hell of a deal!! I'd love to get my hands on the copper version

[@jetdr]

Still have my original set of Ping Eye 2+, they are now my Wife’s, easily the best Irons ever made. Mine were Black dot, I sent them back to Ping and had them bent for my Wife to a red dot.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Did they send it back repainted red?

[@jetdr]

@@LetsPlayThru Yep, painted Red and they came back looking brand new.

[@WVChad]

How much did you pay for the set of you don’t mind me asking?
