Hello. I am looking for a new set of irons, but I don't want to go wild with spending money.

I was thinking, my dad was eager for me to at least look into the G5 Irons. I also saw a thread on another forum about the Ping Eye 2's, so that reminded me, irons don't have to be new to be good.

So I was wondering, how are the Ping G2 irons? I think I could buy them at a good price and I believe they're good irons.

They are excellent irons. The only reason I sold mine was that I wanted something a little towards the players side of irons. But they are great clubs.

There's guys on tour, Patrick Sheehan I believe, that use this model. From the g2's to the upcoming g10's.....they're all the same just different cosmetics. Go for it, they're great irons at a now affordable price.

Hm...Well it looks as if I won't be getting the ones I was looking at, they're white dot, and on the Ping site it says I am black dot.

Even though the Ping site says you're a black dot, go to your pro shop and have them test you first. A friend of mine that just bought the Rapture iron set thought he was a blue dot due to the specs on the Ping site ended up as an orange dot. Remember, Ping's system requires actual fitting for proper specs.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      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?
