I played my best golf in the mid 70's using Ping K111 (Rail) irons which to me were a better club and I still have them , the 1 iron is a weapon for me as I wasn't the best driver user even tho I could play back then. Long irons and putter were my tools !🤗

Well said! I still play my Eye 2s from 1987. They still work. Love taking $$ from my friends who have over $2K of clubs in their bag. They have not yet learned that what makes it work is the Indian, not the arrow.

Early years, sold out .fast ! Left only copper version of eyes two irons ....cost on that years, will be.....$3600 .....in southern Asia's.....( Very rare by now ....) ( Collection only ....not for sell !

Nice little history, wish you would have touched on the rare beryllium copper version Eye 2s; had a set of those with the good grooves, unbelievable...and super expensive. Irony is, I had a barn find of sorts, running I to a set for cheap and they just didn't hit like I remembered, ended up selling them for a tidy profi. Glad you hit on the wedges, finding Eye 2 sand and lob wedges was akin to finding the Holy Grail!

I bought my eye2’s when I was 18, I’ll be 53 this year and have been using cobra forged tec copper as couldn’t find beryllium copper eye2’s. Just let my 17 year old son ‘borrow’ them and he loves them. My cobras are over a club stronger but not as workable. As long as I keep a note of yardages I’ll play with both as I’m never getting rid of them👍🏼

Wow brilliant video mate!

When I started playing in 1992 as an 18 year old I was using a set of womens Wilson forged clubs. I wanted a set of Eye 2’s very badly. By the time I saved up the money I had to buy the Zings. I absolutely could not stand the look of the Zing at address and I’m positive it affected my game. I sold the Zings and quit playing for a few years. Then I came across a 2-SW set of black dot original Eyes with ZZ Lite shafts. I bought the whole set for $60 and absolutely love them. I still play them to this day and just re-gripped with new 5L round grips. In the woods I have an i20 driver, i20 3-wood and i20 17H and 23H hybrids. Along with my trusty BeCu Ping Pal 6 putter. I won’t be buying any new clubs ever as far as I’m concerned.

I have a number of sets of ping irons and putters the eye 2 I regret selling I want to replace them with ping eye 2 BeCu they look so beautiful back in the 90s no one wanted them how times have changed

ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!! You even brought up how a 40 yr old Eye 2. still looks good and a forged looks like crap after 5 years of golf cart bag clatter/chatter

I still have my set from 1985. They don't pack the punch of today's technology....but they look and feel great.

This video needs more views. Algorithm, do your thing

After metal brush use magic erasers

The investment cast process is orders of magnitude better than other casting processes .

Phil Mickelson had Ping eye2 L wedge in his bag in one tournament in May 2023!!! And if king of wedges used it in 2023 its a statement

Great content right here

Its not cheating if the entire field is allowed to use the same club. If you signed a 13 club contract with another manufacturer then thats on you so dont cry foul

Over the years I have had close to 2 dozen different sets of irons. All but 2 sets have been donated or traded in on new purchases. The 2 that I have kept are my first real set, Wilson Staff Dynapower blades, and my favorite set and one that I played for a decade, Ping Eye 2 plus. I also have two Ping Anser putters from back in the day that I haven't used in forever but can't bear to part with. Great irons, as accurate and consistent as anything ever made.

Well done on this

Best are plus no plus (+no+), modern lofts, old grandfathered grooves. Only made for a few months in the spring of 1990, rarity means you'll likely need to piece together a set, as matching serial +no+ get stupid money. Great video. Now go get some nickel isi's.

Randomly still have an EYE2 1-iron in my bag. Don't play much now, but hit it twice yesterday in a Scramble with other good balls in play already, and both times flushed it 250 yards up the middle. It's a great club!

Theses are the clubs I use .sound and feel lovely

I bought my ping eye 2s blue dot, 2-sand, from a cousin for $400 back in 9th grade... In 1990, y'all. I borrowed them to play with them on a visit. I had to have them when i hit a post 5 in two, sticking the 2 iron from about 240 or so. They're still in my bag right now.

The best set of golf clubs you’ll probably ever have in the Ping Eye 2 beryllium copper set. They’re super forgiving and feel like butter and they’ve got distance you can’t ask for more and right now they’re going for like $300 on eBay I got a set got $250

My first set was Wilson x31. I split it with my BF, and got the PW, 8 and 6i. After a year, i got the Eye2s. What a set of irons! I won the club championship on these. I am so sad I dont have them anymore.

I have a had a set of BeCu’s 1-LOB. Love them, ALWAYS get compliments

The 8 iron Callcavechia hit at the Open did not spin back...it did check up like no other. Good lie and perfect swing played into it as well. His 2 iron was just as impressive same hole same tournament.

Love mine. 1-L matching, green dot. Boiiii.

How many times have the eye2s been bought as a wedding gift and then outlasted the marriage? I would bet more than a few.

Ping EYE 2 Blue dots....must have had them 35years

Nice video. I knew most of this since I lived through these times but it was still good to get the overview. Well done!

Great irons . I have the full set and play with them

I've just put my Ping BeCu clubs back in the bag after not using them for 20 years. Hit them at the range 2 days ago and can't figure out why I ever stopped using them. Playing tomorrow. Can't wait to get them out on the course.

I have a set of white dot Eye 2's that are so old it says Patent Pending on the backs. A lot of PGA pros had eye 2 wedges in their bags no matter what their bag said. Couples and Michelson are a couple to name a couple.

I played these in high school. Really wish I would have kept them. Red dot, fit almost perfectly. I remember my next set of sticks being the Cleveland TA2 tour iron...another great set.

My grandpa gave me a full set of eye 2's today. Pretty stoked

I've watched this 2 or 3 times since I still game the Ping Eye2's. Thank you so much for the walk through history about these clubs. I also play Ping Zing2's as well. Both sets are so fitting for my game. I haven't found another set that can match the feel, accuracy and sound of these 2 sets. Let's just say I'd rather be 100 yards from the pin in the fairway, than 80 yards from the pin in the rough or trees. Thanks again.

2023 eye 2 gang, reshaft them suckas and knock er down

I just got a full set of BeCu Eye2 irons and woods from my wife as a gift and can't wait to try them out, had no idea there was so much history behind them and that they're still a competent set of clubs after all these years.

Shows how that little tool is basically 'only' cleaning out the grooves. I want the sharp as hell Ping Eye 2 illegal square grooves.....I used to have a fuzzy ball after a round of 18 holes with my old Pings.

This is a great video! I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with these old Ping clubs (I was just gifted a full set of Zing 2 irons from a relative), and this was very informative. I'm considering "upgrading" to some Eye2 BeCu irons some day. You should do a video on old school Ping Persimmon woods!

Last 5 years or so I was playing with Mizuno mx1000s. I saw a set of these Eye 2’s on marketplace recently and picked them up. Long story short, the mizunos are for sale now. It was a no brainer, couldnt believe how easy and accurate the Eye 2’s are. Keep in mind those are the only 2 sets I’ve ever felt

That was very good. In late 1990's I purchased a set of Ping Eye 2 + in BeCu, Blue Dot 3-SW. I still have to this day 3 BeCu putters in a Ping Anser 2, Pal 2 and GoWin. Ping was on to something special when they cast that BeCu irons. The only short coming I would say was the offset. The irons had a lot of offset.

Great vid - thankyou. I recently picked up a full set of great condition Eye 2's from a local thrift store here in Australia (black dot, 2 thru SW inclusive)... They were $50 (Aus, approx. $75 USD) in a nice bag and just looked too good not to take home with me. I love hitting them and this video helps explain why! So glad I saw them and grabbed them :)

I got my Ping Eye 2s in 1987. Used them until a couple of years ago and bought Ping G400s (I'm 77) and dropped 4 strokes handicap within 2 months. I've loved Ping clubs forever. I also putt with a Ping Zing putter which is ~25 years old..

That was an excellent video and you are correct : Ping Eye two was and is the best iron ever made. Thank you for the good work

I have 2 I-2 sets the 80's version and a treasured set of BE-CU's. I use the BE-CU lob wedge every round, nothing is better!

the thing i love about pings is they never get ugly wear marks on the faces or the soles whether they are better forming irons is debatable but they are certainly better at ageing than most clubs and there's something good about knowing your golf club will outlast urself

I hd a set of the Ping Eye 2's. I just stopped using the sand wedge in 2018. I still have my Driver, 3 and 5 woods. I think I gave my son the rest of the irons. My step mom has a set of Orange Ping Eye 2's that are hardly used. They are in Mint Condition. Enjoyed the history lesson.

Yes, I was so lucky to grab a set of Ping Eye-2 Orange code (2-LW, all serial no. matching) in the original Ping 350-Series, R graphite shaft. Tried them all on the driving range. Amazing, it very easy to swing. I found the missed hits still making a good distance, about 80% less than those good impact hits. However, due to the weak loft of Eye-2 set, I have to remember to add a club for the same distance, of my Mizuno MP-4. Lastly, I also found that my scores from some rounds, by using this good-old Eye-2 set, even beat the best round (I have ever played this game).

My parents gave me a set for Christmas in 1980. I still have them
