Hello, first off just wanted to introduce myself, first time poster, I have been looking for a good golf forum lately and heard this is the place.

I have a full set of vintage ping red eye irons.  They are actually in pretty good shape too!  Does anyone know anything about these clubs?  I've heard by some people that they might be worth something...  But other people have told me that they are only worth something if they are a certain type of old ping red eyes?

I also have an old ping 'my day' that has turned pretty cool colors over the years.

Anyways, I need new clubs this year, so I am trying to sell these to help with the funds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.

The red dot on the Ping Eye irons simply signifies the lie angle.

The original Ping Eye irons were introduced in the late 70's.  And then became one of the best selling irons in the game with the introduction of the Ping Eye 2 irons in the 80's.

Right now on Ebay, you can find a set of original Ping Eye irons 3-PW for a 'Buy it Now' price of $126.00.

I know the Beryllium Copper Ping Eye 2 and Zings were more rare, and sell at a higher price than the standard steel heads...

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
