No offense, but I would consider the G15 an upgrade over the standard Ping Eye2 driver. I can agree that the Adams hybrid is not necessarily an "upgrade" but a "change of club" as you stated (which happens to be a heck of a lot easier for me to hit). I guess my question really boiled down to what "soultones" mentioned: Are the Ping's "holding me back" either in a good or bad way- specifically, are these clubs too unforgiving for a new player, are there newer clubs that would make my life easier- or are these a good set of clubs to start (re)learning with.

Ha! This wasn't meant to be a Ping Eye2 thread so much as a "what better for a higher HC player" or "how much noticeable difference will there be" thread. I appreciate the feedback. I have heard only good things about the Eye2's, but I also hear that blades are great- but that doesn't make them right for me!

First off, this is clearly my first post to the forum, so I appreciate any feedback I receive. I have been following many of the thread on here, and looking to this site for advice, and have finally decided to ask for some advice. I'm starting to really get back into golfing after playing in my early teens (I'm now 28). I'm playing at least 1 round a week, with some scattered range time in between. I am currently struggling to get under 100 most days. I hit the driver pretty solid, but struggle badly hitting my irons most days. I am signed up to take lessons over the next 2 months, so I'm hoping to improve my mechanics and correct some of my bad habits. I also video my swing when I go out, and try to analyze/compare it after the round. I'm currently playing with some clubs that were given to me: a classic set of Ping Eye 2's. I have, however, upgraded to the G15 driver/woods and am using an Adams a7 hybrid 4 iron which I love. I recently found a great deal for an entire set of Adams a7 irons (5-PW.) and I'm wondering if it makes sense for me to upgrade. I know the Ping Eye2's are great clubs, but would I see immediate improvement with new technology (as I did upgrading to the G15 and Hybrid)? Or am I better off using the Ping's until I have developed good habits on a solid performing club (as opposed to a game improvement club) and then upgrade clubs at that time? I can get the a7's for DIRT cheap, so I'm curious to hear thoughts from some more experienced players.
