I'm 33 years old, and have just started playing again since I was about 21 years old. I used to score anywhere from 38-43 on nine holes. After just a dozen rounds, I'm now back in the 30's this season with a one over last week through nine. I'm not bragging though since I followed up that 37 with a 45. lol I'm afraid that I'll just plateau at my old average, which I've already reached, and get bored and quit again.
Here is my question:
I've played with the same irons since I started back in 1990 or so. They are basically a 845 copy made by Allied. They are the Phoenix model. No one here probably has heard of them. Anyways, I'm looking to upgrade my irons. My woods will come later, but I don't really think my Big Bertha is holding me back at all.
My father has played ping eye 2's since about 1993. He has been a very good golfer for a very long time with 9's in the 30's a norm rathe than an exception like myself. I seem to hit his irons well, and they feel good throughout the swing. He's 5'9" and I'm 6'2". His irons are the standard lie Black Dots.
My specific question is would getting some Ping Eye 2's in a blue dot and +1/2", which is what the ping charts say I should be at, help my game?
How have the Eye 2's stood up to the test of time, and better technology, over the years? Are the newer models actually better?
Thanks for all the help, and I look forward to spending more time here.
