Right now I have a set of Ping Eye 2 Black dots (original run i think, not plus and not plus-minus-plus or whatever). I am interested in swapping them out or picking up a set of the BeCu Eye2s or a set of the Copper ISIs.

I have never hit the ISIs before, how do they compare. If I could find someone willing would trading my Eye2s for a set of the Copper ISIs be worth it (I am a college student and typically strapped for cash).

Thanks.

I've never seen copper ISIs for sale, but trading up to the Berrilium Eye2s will cost you a few hundred dollars.

I currently own a couple of set of clubs including the Copper Eye2+ black dots.

Looks - Personally not too fond of them, they look like a prehistoric bird to me. The copper does make them look better though.

Performance - They hit pretty well. They are known as all-rounders. People with low and high handicaps can use them, which I guess means they are forgiving, yet workable. I don't work the ball too much, but they do have a good amount of feel for cavities.
But in comparison to my Titleist DCI 762's, they lack in buttery feel. In other words, they will give you feedback, but not the soft feel you might seek from a forged club or a blade. The TT DG shafts launch the ball mid high and are decently accurate, but again not as accurate as the DCI's with the same shaft.

Value - They seem to hold their value pretty well.

I can't give you a comparison with the ISI's. If you are seeking for a forgiving club with decent feel/performance, then these are a match. If you are looking for a sharp pin hunting club with great feel and trajectory look elsewhere.

    • 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?
