PING Eye 2s Are the Best Irons Ever Created

[Bigtank]

I love this thread!

Classic thread, thank you all.

Just finished my round with my Ping Eye 2s. Shot a smooth 147. This game is incredibly shit smooth with Ping Eye 2s. On the range before my round people stopped and stared with amazement as I smoothly shanked 20 in a row and even killed a guy.

On the first hole I drove into the right rough. Luckily I had my trusty ping eye 2 6 iron to snap in half to relieve my frustration.

The brakes on my golf cart failed, but luckily my trusty ping eye 2 3 iron was up to the job and I managed to smoothly wedge it under the front of the cart, bending it in half and I came to a smooth stop.

On the 18th hole I was 150 out so I hit a smooth 9 iron with my trusty ping eye 2 irons and the clubhead went further than the ball for a smooth goose kill. Then I smoothly smothered a smooth PW onto the smooth green for a smooth +5 on the hole for a smooth round of terrible golf.

On the drive home I was lucky I had my Ping Eye 2s to throw out the window for no other reason than pure frustration for this thread getting my hopes up for no reason.

I am relatively late to the "spill your guts on some random webpage" game, but I must say this is freaking awesome. I've never thought about replacing g judge smails, but this will get serious consideration.

Hehe!!
I can't except $89 as I would be ripping you off. There is no way they are as good as the one's famaousdavis picked up and I very much doubt they will make you play as good as him. I mean, the man is a legend in the golfing world. Yours for $88

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I can see why you picked up the Eye 2s in the first place.

Can you imagine how far in the rear view mirror Jacks records would be if Tiger had only played Eye 2s?

He could punch fade a PING 2 iron all over Royal St. George's on one leg and still lap the field!

Thank you for the kind comment.

I have heard a rumour from the most reliable of sources that Nike have in fact bought the design of the Eye 2's to give to Tiger when he's recovered from injury. Although they have admitted that Sean Foley may have to pick famousdavis's brain (now there is an oxymoron) on how he does his punch fades. We shall then see Tiger obliterate Jack's record by winning every major for the next 10 years. More if he in fact sacks Foley and hires famousdavis, although this may be difficult as the latter doesn't want to give up his day job for golf.

The photo is of the Ping Eye 2+ irons, not the Ping Eye 2 + no + that I purchased in mint condition for a song.  For those of you who don't know, the Ping Eye 2 + no + came out in 1989.  It was similar in design to the original Ping Eye 2 square groove with a few distinctions.  First, the soles of the PW, 9 iron and 8 iron were more scalloped allowing for greater shot variety.  Second, they added additional weight toward the toe, creating a perfectly balanced head designed for ultimate shotmaking and forgiveness.   The difference between the Ping Eye 2+ and the + no + is small but important to note.  The + no + model has square grooves.  This model was created while Karsten and the USGA were in battle over the square groove controversy.  Also, it's difficult to find a set of Ping Eye 2+ irons with the ZZ-Lite shaft (the gold standard in shafts).   Most Ping Eye 2+ irons can be found with the KT shaft or KT-M shaft.  Both are stiffer than the ZZ-Lite and have less playability.  I have the best version and was able to negotiate a price with the owner of the golf store.  The price I paid was probably $100 less than what an average customer would have paid.  I think the owner wanted me to have them after seeing me hit them in the simulator.  I don't think he's seen that kind of consistency since he opened.  Before I left he said "man, you sure know how to hit a golf ball".  I simply replied "the trick is not in knowing, it's in execution".  It's these little experiences that make life that much more enjoyable.

For you perhaps, but if you are serious I would have to say that you are the most conceited, arrogant prick that I have ever heard of. Your condescending and patronising nonsense is enough to make anyone cringe. If you truly say the things you claim to, the only reputation you would have would be of a deluded jerk who people would pay NOT to play with. You are the kind of guy who, if people saw your name down with them on the time sheet,the erasers would be out in a hurry and you would find yourself begging people to play with you. Many might do it once, but it would be their first and only time. The plus side would be that they have a lifetime's worth of stories to regale peope with in the category of "the biggest ****wit I ever met". Naturally you will respond by saying that people queue up to play with you and list the reasons why.

I just read on ESPN.COM that Ben Crane is switching to the Eye 2's and says he now no longer needs Jesus to play slowly.
