I have always loved the look of these clubs and just pulled the trigger and bought a set of 2-9 with a Wedge. I know it might be weird to buy a set of irons that are 23 years old but.... they have the original microtaper steel shafts and are all numbers matching I called Ping and the set has not been changed since new. They are plus 1/2 inch long with black dot these are exactly the setting's I need. They have new golf pride tour velvet grips I wish they where original but. I will be gaming these. They will see 36 holes a week during the season and am extremely excited about m purchase. Just wanted to scream from the rooftop!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw an eBay auction for Ping Eye 2 Copper Irons 4-PW - person wants ~$1,100. They come with KELMAC RUFF WRAP GRIPS.

That is a lot of scratch for new sticks, but getting new gear is always fun. Enjoy them...

You can still order a set of Eye 2s from PING.

I bought a ratty set of MacGregor Colokroms. They were in good shape except for the completely weathered finish - most of the chrome was gone. What's underneath? Copper baby, sweet sweet copper. Just kidding, they are copper and they feel pretty good (after I got the grips replaced - Golf Town was having a spring grip sale) but no better or worse than other forged MacGregors from the same era.

Nice purchase! I played those clubs for a couple years and absolutely loved them. I've actually still got them too! FULL set of Beryllium Copper white dot Ping Eye 2's (1 iron - L wedge). I've been thinking about selling them, but had no idea what my asking price should be.

Enjoy your rounds!

I thought Ping Eye 2 was followed by Ping Eye 2+, because some rules difficulties with the grooves, it might well be so that even for amateurs this old Eye 2 may not been used anymore !

Thats because nearly all premium forged irons have a layer of copper underneath the chrome. They aren't really copper, just copper plated

I played BeCu Ping Eye2 irons in the late 1980's and always thought they felt dead compared to the steel ones. I eventually sold the set to my brother in law (not sure why he needed those, since you can shoot 128, take giant divots and talk during your playing partner's backswing with much cheaper clubs), but I kept the S and L and still use them from time to time.

Great, classic irons that hold their value like no other. I'm going to be gaming 3-9 Eye 2 BeCus, black dot, this weekend just to dabble a little bit. My dad has 2-SW, and SW in Eye 2 + and they are his clubs. I like to mix it up every now and then. If I like them, I may bag them for a little bit.

Not the beryllium copper ones. Due to environmental issues associated with the production process, my understanding is that PING will not even recast an iron for you that is damaged.

I picked up a nearly-new set of Blue Dot Eye 2 Be Cu's a couple of months ago. 1 through Lob. Wow! I am really happy with the distance and feel.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
