A buddy and I were talking today about his copper Ping Eye 2's and I wondered if they still made these or non copper custom from Ping. He said he thought they might but I haven't seen an option on there website short of contacting them to ask. Just wondering if anyone knew. I'd at least like to have the wedges without having to buy them used from some clown who liked to hit rocks with them on eBay.

Lmao. Unfortunately I don't feel the way the creator of that does, but the wedges were pretty nice to hit.

They still make a version of the wedges.

The wedges I have heard are pretty damn good.  Hunter Mahan still plays an eye 2 lob wedge I believe.

When the grooves rule first came into effect, the eye 2s were [i]explicitly[/i] allowed (due to the whole Ping vs USGA lawsuits in the past). Hunter Mahan, among others, went out and found them, thinking they'd get an advantage from having it over a new fully-conforming wedge. Whether or not it helped I don't know, but Ping eventually told the USGA that they consent to ending that provision.

Holy crap this is some funny stuff.  Any way we could unlock the old thread and see if we can lure FD back into the forum?  I'd love to hear how many club championships he's racked up now.  BTW I had an old Eye 2 wedge in my garage last year; not even sure how it got there, but I traded it in with a bunch of old garage junk at Dunn's when I was buying some new wedges.  Guess I should have saved the effort and just put it in play.  Would love to add a skippie to my shot bank.

I dont think they still make them. I would love to have a set of the Berylium Coppers. I think they look great. I wouldn't game them, they would be wall ornaments for my Garage (much akin to Buckeyes Garage, except mine is Boston Bruins paraphernalia, and instear of a challenger, its a 1997 ROE Viper GTS). As far as looks go, the Copper Eye2's are sexxxxy.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

I wonder if there's a significant difference in feel between regular Eye 2's and BeCu?  Same molds, same shafts and same grips.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
