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.

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 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
