Ping Eye2 1982 V-Groove

..., and a golfing legend in their own right. ~ ~ The new putter that started of this golfing revolution was called the Ping Anser. The “Ping” came from the very distinctive sound it made when it struck the golf ball, and the “Anser” as Solheim swore it would be the answer to all golfer’s prayers. (By the way, if you just happen to have one of these old putters lying around somewhere then head for the nearest bank vault, as they’re now worth an absolute fortune) ~ ~ It was the 1970’s before Ping manufactured anything other than putters. Their first venture into making golf irons were called the “Ping Eye”, and proved relatively successful, but it was their successors, the “Ping Eye 2” that were eventually to take this company into the manufacturer’s premier league.

(And my handicap in single figures!) ~ ~ The old trusty Wilson blades were consigned to the (already overflowing with old golf paraphernalia!) hall cupboard, and I purchased a set of new Ping ISI cavity back irons. Well, not quite new, (second hand actually) but new to the mad cabbie! I had used Ping irons before, when I successfully used a set of their old Ping Eye 2 clubs for a couple of seasons in the early 1990’s, so knew that I was buying a set of quality clubs from a renowned manufacturer. You have to be careful these days, as there is such a plethora of golf equipment on the market, it’s easy for an inexperienced buyer to be taken in by the extravagant claims of some somewhat less than reputable manufacturers, who have their lousy equipment made ‘on the cheap’ in Far-Eastern sweat shops...
