Ping Eye2 Vs Newer Irons

[cooke119]

I have a full set of Ping Eye2s (3 through SW) steel shaft. Anyway I took the to Dicks to see how I could still hit them and how they would perform again new clubs. I rented the driving range/room for a 1/2 hour with a launch monitor. Anyway I was hitting the Ping Eye2s well, they felt good. What surprised me was that I tried other clubs, 7 irons is what they had, and was getting the same distance and dispersion. I thought sure all the new technology would make a big difference, I found it did not. Why have I spend all this money on new clubs with graphite shafts? 

Now I have t try them on the course to see how the perform once spring arrives.

Until you try this, it’s hard to draw conclusions. Not all launch monitors are equal.

That being said, there are plenty of people who do just fine with older irons. The changes in technology aren’t as significant in irons as they are in woods.

I saw big differences on launch monitor and on course from older G5’s to the i500’s so that’s surprising you didn’t, but like @billchao said, take them to the course and compare. 
 

OT: I wasn’t aware you could rent Launch monitor at Dicks. Cost?

$20 for a half hour. You bring your clubs, I even used my balls, (put theirs aside). Now this is the Dicks by me in Patchogue, New York, don't know about others. But I go to the cashier and she has the bar code for renting the room on a piece of paper, she rings it up, you pay and your good to go. I have the golf tech set up the machine for me.

Yup, exact same thing my way, cashier with the bar code.
