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 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change. 
    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit.
