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...

Ohh I've always thought of buying a set of these. They look awesome, would so like try these one day. Perhaps I'll buy a single iron just to experience the feel.

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.

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

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.

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
