Hey everyone. As I have been trolling around this site for a few months now I finally decided to sign up and post. Ive enjoyed reading every ones post's. I recently just got back into the game a few months back after leaving for slow pitch softball. I played I3' "blades" and loved them. I ended up selling them and could kick myself. This Christmas I bought myself some Burner 1.0's and hated them. long story short I sold them. I found a set of Ping Eye 2's a week or two back and scooped them up after 5 hits. I understand with the loft angles different that they are a club short to my I3's. I love the feel and response of them. Im going to play my first round with them Saturday. Im curious to find what golf balls most of you old ping hackers hit with these irons.

Im 25, Swing hard and make solid contact. I play a little cut, and carry the 7 iron 145/150.

I'm looking to pick up three sleeves to try some balls. Please let me know what you fella's think. Any advice is much appreciated.

I have been impressed with the following balls...

Srixon Z star

Titleist NXT Tour S

Callaway Hex Chrome

For me in order of preference:

- Taylormade Penta TP | Expensive ball but lovely spin, excellent feel and good distance. Discontinued.

- Srixon Z-Star | Expensive ball but lovely spin, excellent feel and good distance.

- Titleist NXT Tour | General every day ball. Adequate distance. Adequate spin. Not too expensive.

- Bridgestone e5 | As per NXT Tour but a little more 'clicky' on putts.

- Srixon AD333 | Good winter ball. Adequate distance. OK spin. Cheap.

- Bridgestone e6 | Nice ball for taking sidespin off drives. Cover seems quite hard. Difficult to check the ball. Clicky and skitters a way on putts before rolling.

Currently trying out:

- Wilson Staf DX2 Soft

- Bridgestone B330-RX

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
