Ping Eye2+ 1990

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...’s quite an eye-opener. There’s everything in there but the kitchen sink! Cost and Availability <><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ They were not cheap. My set cost me £110 per club, a grand total of £1,100, but they were available at around the £800 mark if you were happy with ordinary steel heads. Sadly, these clubs went out of production in the late 1990’s, but have been replaced by another set, called, guess what, the “Ping i3”. (that’s another op) There are thousands of sets of the Ping Eye 2 for sale on the second hand market, and many can be found by simply typing the name in a good search engine. (try Google) They sell at anything from around £250 upwards, but are a good purchase, as you can be assured of getting at least your money back when and if you ever want to change them. Conclusion <><><><><> ~ ~ The Ping Eye 2... Read review

Advantages: Straighter shots. Sweeter hit. Quality manufacturer.
Disadvantages: Not quite so good for delicate chip and pitch shots.

...to keep my golf game up to scratch. (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.

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...

Advantages: Solid Irons which will last through the ages
Disadvantages: Hard to compete with the new technology

...A well respected and tour proven iron. Obviously it will not be found in the bags of current professionals and many club golfers but it will always be a thoroughbred in the ranks of all time irons. If given a chance to ever purchase a set of these, or to use the popular 2-iron or sand wedge from the series, it is hard to look past them. As a professional, I can stand by the quality of ping and especially this iron. I still do own several of these irons although not in my current bag set up, I would class them in my back-up range and that says a lot for an iron that was produced around two decades ago....
