Has anyone hit (or currently play) the ping glide 3.0 Eye2 in the 54 or 56 degree version? I definitely see the use for it in a lob wedge around the greens and in bunkers, but I am curious If the headshape is also useful for longer shots and full swings.

I know it is based off an older ping iron set so I assume it works perfectly fine for those purposes, but I thought I’d see if anyone has any input or comments.

I don't know about the 3.0, but the 2.0 are sweet. My daughter and a few other people I know play them. The Eye2 is of course the shape that's similar to the iconic model, and is well liked for good reason(s).

Well I can't help as I still have Eye 2's in the bag: a 50.5 Eye2 Wedge, 53 Eye 2+ SW and 57.5 Eye2 SW in the bag.  I just love how they hit and I never lack confidence when swinging them.  I know that if I ever get serious about playing "USGA" compliant clubs, these wedges would have to be updated.

I have to say, these have made a legitimate difference in my wedge game. For whatever reason, it’s much easier for me to really open the face on tight lies, which is something I struggled with. Definitely one of the better purchases I’ve made in a while.

In the 2.0, is the ES grind similar to (or the same as) the Eye2 grind, or different?

I play the original eye 2 sw. in 57.5 degrees. Awesome club.  You can pick up the original on eBay for 50 bucks. They don’t get much better.  I don’t like a 60 even though I keep one on the cart. It only gets used every 5 rounds. The 57.2 degrees for me is perfect all around. It moves through grass like a hot butter knife. The only way I don’t like it is off hardpan. Because of the bounce.  Do yourself a favor and if anyone you know has one borrow it and play around with different shots it’s sweet

Had a couple of games with mine now, easy to hit, also easy to get right underneath & hit it almost straight up.

I might have to practice with ball position , I’m finding I hit them both (54 & 58) way shorter than my 58 Vokey.

The 54 Eye 2 is good for chipping out of the long grass , and pretty easy to get out of bunkers.

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By StuM · Posted

      Better late than never.  I got The Stack System over 2 years ago.  Problems with ruptured tendon and bone-on-bone knee stopped me from using it.  Foot was a year to full recovery.  Had the knee done in January.  This weekend was first full swings in quite a while, With spring here (at least according to the calendar) I’m finally going to do the program.  It’s 32 degrees with flurries tonight so I’m not sure exactly when I will start but should be soon.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By iacas · Posted

      Erik J. Barzeski (@iacas) • Instagram reel 1 likes, 0 comments - iacas on April 6, 2026: "The LM1 from @shot_scope is a $200 launch monitor with a great display and extreme portability. Since 98% of a ball's distance inside of about 150 yards is determined... The ShotScope LM1 is a $200 launch monitor that made waves last fall and at the PGA Show in January. Think of it like the PRGR or the Stack radar, but in a different form factor and with a better display. It's also got a rechargeable battery (no messing around with AA or AAA batteries), and a bigger, brighter, multi-color screen over the greyscale LCD on those units. I believe it still uses the same algorithms to "guess" at the distance given the club you've chosen, assuming a relatively moderate launch angle. I do not believe it measures your "VLA" (vertical launch angle). As we know from Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, ball speed for shots 150 yards and shorter accounts for about 98% of the distance the ball travels, assuming you didn't blade the bejeezus out of it, so the LM1 can, like other simple launch monitors, really help you dial in your distance wedges. I don't think ShotScope is honoring discount codes yet (you're free to try clicking the link and using the codes in the sidebar here at TST), and it's sold out for now anyway. But, you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. I'll update this thread as I continue to test the unit, but so far I really like: Ease of setup and use. The quality, brightness, and colors of the display. Battery life seems adequate. I'm not sure about five hours, but… it'll last well over a full session. The battery charges quickly and with a standard USB-C cable. I had some difficulties inside when players were hitting drivers into a net 13 or 14 feet away. Many swings reported 35 MPH, or 38, or 32. My hunch was that it was seeing the speed the screen moved, perhaps, as we tried a number of configurations. It was a solid screen, not a net, and later testing to an archery net that was 35 feet away yielded consistent and reasonable numbers every time.
