PING Eye 2s Are the Best Irons Ever Created

[LfSideStrngSide]

This guy just blows my mind

[famousdavis]

Well, I just finished the front 9 and shot even par with the following setup:

Ping Eye 2 Plus (no +) irons, 3-LW

Cobra Baffler 16 degree 2 hybrid

Taylormade Superfast TP 9.5

Ping Ally 2 Putter

Ping i10 3 wood

I'm planning on concentrating a little harder and working on my rotational pull.  For you novices out there, you must always feel the right hand pulling the club back during the intial part of your backswing.  However, the most crucial element of the golf swing is swinging from the inside.  Almost every chopper out there does the over the top move.  Get some Ping Eye 2s, practice swinging outside-in and you'll shoot better scores.  I'm one of the best ballstrikers I know and this is what I do.  Wish me luck.

Wait, so you actually mis-titled the thread?  This whole thing is a farce?!?

I'm one of the best forum-posters I know.

Your name isn't Justin Payne by chance is it?

My name is Famous Davis, or FD if you so please.

Whew, leave the trap for a few hours and look what I miss. ZZ lite shafts? Aren't these just TT lite shafts? Come on man, most of us out grew those by 14 yrs old.

As in, over the top?

Fail.

It's completely different than the ZZ-Lite shaft.  I would expect a little more from you.  Sigh.

[famousdavis]

I'm now one under par.  I'm striping it and hitting my irons like guided missiles.  This is a lot of fun.  I love these irons.

[arogolf]

Sorry, its the same shaft, the zz is tipped a touch more to play a little stiffer, but its the same as tt lite, perhaps the different decals threw you off.

I guess we'll be seeing you on tour soon then. Have you tried some Monday qualifiers yet? Maybe a U. S. Open qualifer? As the best ball stricker you know, you should be just a good 4 rounds away from a tour card. I'm guessing you would have hit 90% GIR in the Open just like Rory did?

I tested some Eye 2's at the range the other day and someone in the gallery who'd gathered to watch me hit balls said "God, it's like Hogan all over again." I generally just shrug comments like that off; there's no need to get taken with myself.

This thread is outside-in.

Using the same logic as the OP:

It is a known fact that Ping Eye 2s are the worst irons ever created.

The other day I saw a guy using them and he had 95 off the stick. This is proof that they are the worst clubs ever.

I also checked ebay and there are over a dozen sets for sale. Further proof.

I also remember a guy missing a green with a 4 iron from 210 yards. Further proof that these irons lack accuracy.

I am guessing that the OP is just having a bit of fun with us, but everyone seems to be treating his posts seriously, playing us for fools.

Question to the OP: As you are offering to help us all out, please explain how it is possible for an iron to be "accurate", because I've seen lots of players hit lots of good shots, but it has never occurred to me to wonder what kind of clubs they are using and if those clubs are responsible.

Thanks

Call Ping and ask them if it's the same shaft.  They'll tell you it's not.  Can you admit when you're wrong?  I guess time will tell.

Your post was poorly written and I hope I see improvement in the next one.   Eye 2 irons on Ebay is proof of their popularity.  Lot's of trading going on.  You might want to take Economics 101 there old chap.  You see, when there's a great deal of activity on a particular product it means that it's popular to the consumer.  For the most part Ping halted mass production of the Eye 2s after 1992.  If there's still a ton of them on Ebay it stands to reason they're still a popular item and loved by millions.  Don't act jealous just because you don't own a set.

I hate having to take on the roll of educating everyone on this forum.  A scratch player is not good enough to play on the PGA Tour.  I usually shoot right at par or a couple over.  Those scores generate a scratch handicap.  Let me explain something to you globule, your handicap is determined by the average of your last 10 best scores out of the last 20.  A scratch player isn't even close to being good enough to compete on tour.  Plus, I love my job and don't need the dough.  Rory had a good week but i seriously doubt he'll go on to win more than 3 or 4 majors.

Call ping and ask them? Well, surely that's how to achieve equanimity (pause while you google it). Economics 101 equals karsten utilized an existing tt lite platform and tipped em stiff for his own vision of the ping eye 2 (lighter tip stiff shaft plus lighter clubhead equals better control for the average chopper. Albeit this was decades ago). Do you think ping would pay for r and d for a whole new breed of golf shaft and absorb the extra cost?? Hardly, my friend. I'm glad you enjoy your job,hopefully daddy hooked you up with something that doesnt require too much cognitive reasoning. Nevertheless, I am still hooked...
