My Vintage Ping Set! Love them!


Recommended Posts

I have to snag some new irons before too long. I saw a video recently on youtube pitting new irons vs. the Eye 2's. Now I am debating whether to buy some Ping Eye 2's or do what should be done and get fit for new irons. I can't deny that those Eye's are awesome!

What color dot are you?

Per nflight online software and the ping color code chart I am a red. However I measured myself--and am 1/4 of inch from being a black dot. As of right now, either or. I really need to go be properly fit.

You should be able to find lots of good examples in both red and black dot.  The BeCu irons are very nice, but much more expensive.  Except for the early Eye 2's, they will have U grooves that are not legal anymore for USGA and pro events.  The Ping Eye 2+ models have stronger lofts which, although not as strong as todays irons, might be more suitable for your play.  I can tell you that the wedges will absolutely shred a soft covered ball in no time!  I think they are still outstanding clubs.

I was playing eye2's until a a couple months ago when I picked up my hogans! They are nice clubs but they just don't have the distance of modern club design. When I got back into golf, I picked them up because they were super affordable and I knew they were a good club. I highly recommend anyone looking to get back into the game go this route. You will get much more quality for your dollar than buying some used SGI irons from a couple years back.

Well, went ahead and did it. Picked up a set of MacGregor VIP Tourney irons on the 'Bay for $99 shipped.
