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.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
