Any body have any comments on these?
I just picked up a couple fairly cheap on Ebay. The 54 and the 60.
Thanks.
I've had Ping Eye 2 wedges for years and thought I would try these.

Depending on how much you paid for them, it could be a really good deal. They're good clubs, but I don't think that they're "elite." Coming from a PING fan, I don't think PING wedges are in the same class as Vokeys or X-Forged. But, like I said, they're good clubs and if you got a good deal, it could be a great purchase.

I played Ping MB's for about 2 years (56* and 60*). The distance with them is great, with great feel... Some people dont like the looks (didnt bother me much). Spin is somewhat difficult to achieve with these wedges. I sold them a month ago and got Cleveland 588's (more of a budget purchase). I prob would have went with Vokey's if I could afford new ones

You'll be happy, I've got them in my back up set. Played them for years, I think they are the best Ping wedge, although the i-wedges are only a hair behind. I'm using the tour-w now becase I got a used set that came with them and I'll give them a shot. Good luck and happy pin hunting... jmoc

Bringing back an old thread. Reviews seem positive in this thread, but it's kind of old now.

I am usually pretty good at a flop shot, but my lowest wedge is a 54*. I'd like a lob wedge that could get a little more spin on the ball than my Callaway X-16 SW, and I'd like something to hit from a closer distance. I've hit my sand wedge over the green a lot recently, and tried choking up but still struggled. I think a 60* wedge would help with that and make the lob shots easier.

I don't want to spend a lot. I have a $50 gift card to Edwin Watts and they have a Ping M/B 60* at my local store for 49.99, so this seems like a no-brainer. Just thought I'd get some more feedback on the club's usage for short pitch shots and flop shots. I could probably get a Callaway Forged wedge or a Titleist Vokey for a similar price on ebay, but then I can't use my gift card.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
