Ping Glide 3.0 SS vs. Eye2


Nevin

Recommended Posts

I've recently acquired a Ping Glide 3.0 SS 54 sand wedge to replace my TM High-toe 54 and it is a huge improvement.  It maybe the best wedge I have ever owned.  It seems very easy to hit pitch and chip shots with it.  Now I am thinking about replacing my TM High-toe 60 degree wedge which is my primary wedge for bunkers.  I like the Eye2 design but the SS 54 really impresses me.  Have any of you played both the Eye2 grind and the SS grind and give me some idea about how they compare?  I know the old 1980's eye2 wedge was great out of bunkers.  Which is better from bunkers and which is more versatile for lob shots and heavy rough?  Thoughts?

I have a 58 degree in the new eye2 design and think it is as good as any wedge I’ve ever played. Good on full swings, great out of bunker and easy to chip with.  Having said that, I would say if you like the 3.0 from bunkers, get a 58 or 60 in that. No need to take a chance if the 3.0 does it for you.

Agree 100% regarding 3.0 Glide SS 54. I game it. Extremely versatile wedge. Also love the new version Eye2 grind but for me was not as versatile regarding extreme tight lies or hard pan. May have just been my swing and/or confidence due to the way the Eye2 appeared looking down in my setup. But no problems with any type shots with SS Glide 3.0 wedge. Everything is near perfect. Sure others have great experiences w/Eye2.
