I switched to g15's last year, but I'm thinking about going back.

I just bought a set of black dot Eye2 +no+ in 1-iron thru W. Had them in the bag for a few rounds and liked the playability. I will keep them just because I enjoyed the solid, assuring feel at impact. I pulled them from the bag in favor of my Bridgestone J36 combos, but mainly for the shaft. The ZZ Lite shafts in the Eye2's is about as stiff as it gets. On top of that the lofts are very weak. Great for hitting really high shots with a stronger iron than you would normally use, but it messed with my head quite a bit on the course. Very fun to play, though.

Ping Eye 2 irons are the best irons every created.  For whatever reason they feel completely different than any other cavity back iron out there.  Better than forged.  The ZZ-Lite shaft is largely responsible for this and any other shaft with these irons is second rate.  It's a lightweight, stiff shaft with a mid/high kickpoint but with a soft tip.  This can only be explained as sublime and pure joy.  I have played these irons for 25 years and there is nothing out there that compares.  I have tried all of the old lines and all of the new lines of irons and none compare.  The only way to go is with the Ping Eye 2 square groove model with ZZ-Lite or "K" shafts.  I'm not talking about the KT or KT-M shafts.  The feel can only be described as soft and crisp.

I've still got the PING Eye 2's that I gamed as a kid. Great irons. As much as I love my blades, I'll always keep my Eye 2's. I try to game them at least once every year.

I sold mine years ago.  My biggest regret in golf.

I've been paired up with one or two guys in the last year who were playing them, so they're definitely still in use.

There were made for several years and were undoubtedly the most popular iron series in the history of golf. I'd be shocked if there aren't a lot of people still using them. I've only hit them a couple times and didn't like them, but on the pro level, the results speak for themselves.

There still with my dad, i might get them regripped and try them out again. I love those clubs, thinking about going back.

They were the first set of clubs I ever owned and I still have my original set.  I don't play with them anymore.  My dad still plays his however.  Interestingly enough I bought a nice second hand leather golf bag 2-3 weeks ago and the craigslist add indicated the bag would include a free set of irons and a driver.  To my surprise when I picked the bag up the irons were a set of ping eye 2's (with some old aldilia graphite shafts).

When I saw the irons and that the bag was exactly what I was looking for the thought crossed my mind to offer more money and I almost feel bad that I paid so little for the Mulholland Brothers bag and a set of eye2's (missing pw but included sw).

This was my fathers first set of irons. He had them for years and he would never think of getting rid of them. The the Ping Raptures came out and he put his eye 2's in retirement and bought the raptures. He loves his eye 2's so it was hard for him to put them down but he is shotting a lot better golf now with the newer clubs.

I have a set of Ping eye 2 green dot I bought them off a mate about ten years ago and I still can't seem to part with them, although I did loss the 4 iron one day playing skins under a tree, that was a big loss.

Great clubs.

[Freysmith]

I still play them and love them!!!

Some of the best irons I have ever played. Had them stolen from me a few years back and I miss them to this day.

I found a set at the thrift store for 6.66. It was missing one iron. I use fitted g30's and compared the length of an eye 2  five iron and found it was the length of my g30 7 iron. Funny thing is It carries as far as my G30 5 iron and feels so good. So I am thinking why not hit shorter clubs with less loft if the distance is the same? Should be a no brainer right? But today i played with my G30s and the eye 2's sit in the back of my jeep.
