What else can be said about Ping Eye 2+'2 except that they are awesome clubs. I am a long hitter and I have had nothing ut success with these clubs. I can fly the green from 150-180 yards out and the ball sticks like glue. The wide sweet spot is very forgiving and the ability to tune these clubs to your style is inredible. I started out on the standard blade irons and when I switched over to Pings 15 years ago I have not turned back. Just upgraded to the 2+ from the 2's and I am hitting the ball much straighter. Thanks Ping!

Excellent! Customer service has answered my questions each time I call and will be sending the clubs in for a tune up after the season.

Well I just picked up the ping eye 2's at the golf shop and my shots are even straighter than before. I used to use the old Spaulding Executives but the were obsolete for this day and age. the golf pro told me to get new clubs before i got to good with old clubs. So I picked up his ping eye 2's. My first round with them was tough but after that i was shooting about a 73. Watch out Tiger I'm only 15 years old.

I sold a set of these (Ping Eye 2 w/K shafts) & bought them again (Ping Eye 2+ w/JZ Regular). I like the latter better - solid - straighter and longer, also bigger face with more confidence. Irons are durable, distinctive Ping quality.

I've played with different irons over the last several years, including Orlimar Trimetal irons, Lynx Black Cats, and Ping Zing2's and most recently Hogan Apex Edge irons. All were great, especially the Hogans, but I picked these up just because I kept hearing about the "square grooves" and how the Eye2's never lose their value. I was surprised at how light the swingweight was (C7 versus D3 for the Hogans and Orlimars). This took a couple of buckets of balls to get used to, but then I noticed I didn't have to work as hard to hit the ball straight (even was hooking a few until I got used to the lighter feel). The weaker lofts of the original Eye2's require you to go up one club on any given shot (ie I hit 6 iron from 150 yds instead of my usual 7 iron). I'm a 12 hdcp and my first 3 rounds with these irons were 11, 7, and 7 over par. Needless to say I love these clubs. The only challenge is the "gap" between the 9,PW and SW (45*, 50.5* and 57.5* lofts). I may pick up a 54* wedge to bridge the gap. I'm even thinking about picking up a second set for a backup!

These clubs are the best. My game went from the upper 90's to the mid-low 80's. Because they are old clubs the store gave me a good deal on them. Now i am hitting balls much better and more accurate.

Very, very nice irons.Improved my game instantly because lie is more uprigth. Have not reduced hcp yet but that will come definately. The irons are very easy to hit, even mis-hits produce straigth shots allthough at the cost of distance. Shots especially with middle to short irons are high and the ball stops beautifully quick on landing. They seem to shoot marginally shorter than my previous irons (powerbilt proTrac),but much more consistent and straight. I am very, very satisfied, and when you add in the price !! I recommend everybody midhcp and up to try these.

These clubs are fantastic. I was looking at getting a new set of the I3+ Blades and was fortunate enough to find a BRAND NEW set of coppers in storage out of florida. The handling on the clubs are incredible and even though they are a good 8-10 years old they compete with the new clubs very well. The name PING says it all. Plus If I want to ever sell them I will not loose any money.

I have played a lot of clubs. My brother was a club pro for 13 years and I had access to his demos each year. From TA 845's to Hogan forged, there is no comparison to the difference that these clubs can make. Not quite the feel of a forged club (Hogan), not quite the distance of a stronger lofted cast (845's) but the control and feel combo is much better than any I have tried. These clubs are 14 years old and are still in great shape and more importantly play better than anything in the price range. I have the eye 2's, The Eye 2+'s are a little stronger in their lofts so if distance is really important you may want to go with them. The Eye 2 head design is weighted lower (gets the ball up quicker) while the Eye 2+ has a little more "tords" the toe. Square grooves on the Eye 2 vs U grooves on the Eye 2+ give slightly better spin rate. If you want the best of both worlds try to find a set of Eye 2+' that do not have the "+" on them (rare/collectable). Those have the square grooves of eye 2 and the stronger lofts and head design of the eye 2+. Either way you will gain control. I gave up some distance over my other clubs but cut strokes from my game. Distance is a easy thing to let go of when it comes back in the scoring column.

Have had these about 8 years now and I keep trying to replace them without success. When I move to more blade like clubs, I miss the forgivness. When I try more of a game improvement iron I lose the ability to work the ball. I have now come to terms with the fact that, because of the weak lofts in the shorter irons, I have to take at least one more club than with more modern clubs. Because I'm not very long anyway, this means I sometimes pull out an 8 iron when others might be able to hit a wedge. Oh well. If I'm closer to the hole, who cares? These clubs just work better than any I have tried and that includes quite a lot of irons

Had these for two years now. Starting out was not very positive until I had the lie adjusted from blue to white dot. Then straight as an arrow. I do have a problem with very high trajectory and less distance, especially with the 8 thru pitching wedge. I'm going to look into new shafts as I love the accuracy I get but if only the distance were there. These clubs were originally steel shafts replaced with graphite by a previous owner. Anyone with some reshafting advice?

Will soon find out.
