Hey everybody,

I finally got the OK from my dad to use my grandpa's Ping Eye2's

I was wondering if you guys have any helpful info on these clubs. The set is 1iron thru sandwedge. The 1 & 2 iron and sand wedge have the ZZ lite steel shafts. 3-wedge have K-shaft. The sand wedge is the only blue dot club in the set. I was just hoping some of the guru's could give me some specs on the shafts, dots, and clubs in general.

I have seen some threads about restoring them. I'm sure this will be an upgrade from my wilson's, especially after I regrip them. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Cris

EDIT: Ok, so I found the pat. # 4.621.813 and found out that these were the "new" eye2's made before march 31st, 1990. I got the lofts and whatnot, but still wondering what a bluedot sandwedge is all about. Thanks again.

I'm only at 13 clubs in the bag, what do you reccomend as a 14th? My foot wedge?

Hey everybody,

K shaft is a senior shaft. zzlite is the standard Ping shaft of the time and it's light and stiff.

The rest of the clubs are black dot.

I'm wondering if the senior shaft is a bit much for me. I hit the clubs VERY well at the range yesterday. Not quite as much distance, but definately more straight shots and my mishits were a lot better. The mishits with my wilsons would be like the paparazzi, just all over the place. With the pings they are pretty much straight, just short.

When you say the bluedot is one degree up, is that on the loft or the lie? If its the loft, then that would make it a 56.5*, and i'll just keep hitting the cleveland.

As for the 1 iron...i guess i'll try to hit it and see what happens, I typically only play with 5-sw for irons, I have woods and hybrids that I hit better than a 4 iron and up.
Thanks again for the info, we'll see how they do on a course this weekend.

It's the lie that varies by dot.
Mine are White - 3* up, which is probably a bit much, but I was fitted for them 10 years ago by someone who hopefully knew what they were doing, they seem to work for me, though I'm only 6'2. I just bought a couple of wedges in Blue dot so I'll see how big a difference it makes - I'm guessing not that much on the wedges anyhow due to them being so much shorter anyhow.
Can anyone speak to this? It seems lie adjustment is most critical on the irons, but less so on drivers and wedges - just from what's available out there off the shelf. Wedges you're less likely to take a full swing, whereas drivers are so long?

not drivers not so important because they never hit the ground and wedges dont really matter cause of length but on irons it is so important because if the aren't level when they hit the ground whatever end hits first thats which way the ball is going to go. like if the toe hits the ground before you hit the ball it will drag the clubface open and you will hit a push/slice.

The Pings should be a great set for you once you get fresh grips. Don't rule out the longer irons as the Ping long irons are some of the easiest to hit.

The senior shafts (K shafts) are softer than your zzlites. You probably hit these shorter because they have weaker lofts than today's clubs. A Callaway X 20 PW has 45 degrees of loft. A Taylor Made R7 PW also has 45 degrees of loft. A Ping Eye2 9 iron has 45 degrees of loft.

The new popular brand clubs have just changed the numbers on their irons, so you think you hit that brand farther. Marketing!

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
