I am considering putting in a bid on ebay. There are two clubs I am interested in, Ping Zing Lob and standard wedges. I am not really sure which one to bid on (if any). I think the Lob wedge is 58 degrees and the pitching wedge 46 degrees. I would imagine that the best option is the Lob but any suggestions would help. I have Ping Eye 2+Copper Beryllium but cannot find a suitable wedge which is why I am looking at the Zings which are copper Beryllium..

Thanks

They are different clubs so they each will have their advantages, if you don't have a lob wedge yet, I would recommend one, they are awesome once you can hit it the right way.

PW first, then optionally a LOB.

Doesn't your set have a pitching wedge? If not, that's what I would look for. I would find out what loft the Eye 2+ PW has and try to match that.

Fact is, if your set is missing the PW, I'm pretty sure you can contact Ping and get a replacement.

lob wedges are great. when you're around 90 out and need to drop and stop it, theres nothing like making it rain with a 60. i love opening the face and flopping it too. you take that full swing and it just glides and drops dead. the ol flop-a-dopalas

Thanks for all of your answers. I have bought a Ping Tour 58 degree wedge off ebay for £21 which I think is good value. The Ping Eye 2 wedges are quite difficult to get in the UK, especially the Copper Beryllium ones.

I have been hitting my Ping Eye 2 woods and they are just as good as I remember.

Cheers

      @colin007, in terms of realistic sci-fi, its the best ever. They actually had an astrophysicist consult on the movie to be as accurate as possible with what we know about the universe.  For like dystopian, Blade Runner is probably king. Action/suspense is probably Alien/Aliens. Though Starship Troopers is fantastic. The Matrix is amazing.

      Day 4 (August 14).  Full swing in my indoor practice room;  6-iron, off a mat, into a net.  Focus was on what I believe was my priority piece at last lesson (which, admittedly, was almost three years ago, due to absence).  I hit about a dozen balls this morning before going into the office.  (Also, errata to yesterday:  9 of the 12 coins were picked up on the second or third go around -- you can't pick up one on the first go around for that drill)

      Watched The Gentlemen, took a little bit to get into it, but very good Guy Ritchie movie.  Collin Farrell and Hugh Grant were great. Give it a birdie.

      Played in the Rhode Island CC Senior Member guest, my partner and I won the tournament. 2-day Stableford format, we ended with 104 points, won by 7. Points include 2 holes on each 9, where both players score count, can make up some points if you both play well on those holes.  @DaveP043has played a similar format (I played with Dann from RICC).

      Played Wannamoisett CC on Monday.  What a neat old Donald Ross course, Par 69.  The conditions were immaculate, might be one of the best maintained courses, I've played.
