I absolutely love these clubs. I bought them in 1997 and haven't thought once about upgrading though I have upgraded Drivers and Putters since then.

I bought this Zings around 12 years ago and have been shooting +12 every round I play. The irons have given me a high ball flight without sacrificing distance and have improved my game greatly, from shooting in the high 80s to high 70s. I could stick my approaches to the hole with consistency.

After using them for sometime, I decided to change my irons to Callaway and sold these Zings to a friend. Now after 7 years, my Zings are back in my hands since my friend bought a new set of irons, now I am very excited to be reunited with my Zings. Hope to play better again with them.

I recently picked up a used set of Zings on EBay, and what a value! I have always bought clubs "off the rack" and they never seemed to fit. I bought these clubs, which are 1 degree flat, and have noticed an instant improvement. In addition to the fit, these clubs are very, very forgiving. I've hit a bunch off the toe or heel and they still go fairly straight, but much shorter of course. I've gone from the high 90's to the low 90's with these clubs in a short amount of time.... and I hope to break into the 80's soon.

I am 17 years old, have had my Ping Zing 2's since i started playing golf as a 36 handicapper aged 13. I now play off 5 and can highly reccomend these clubs to everyone. They are so lovely to hit, the ball springs off the face beautifully and you can still get the spin and control to shoot low scores (last week i shot a level groß round in the club championship).
Love the clubs, defo get yourself some

I bought these Ping Zings orange dot ten years ago when I thought I was going to start playing golf. I only actually started two years ago. I started with a 40 handicap (course adjusted). Over time, guys told me that they were known as the ugliest clubs ever made (...but they were still good, they whispered). I thought that I'd start looking for new clubs once I started shooting around 100. I thought the clubs were limiting me. After another year of practice, my score kept coming down. I was hitting my 7 iron 135 all over the place at first. All of a sudden, I started sticking 6 irons consistently at 165. I'm trying a new swing style and now I'm hitting the 7 iron 170 and 4 iron around 200 and change. I'm going to have to recalibrate my distances. I did find out that orange dot actually means something last year. I had them lie adjusted to black dot specs (since I'm 5'9"). So, while I thought 15 year old technology and my first set of irons was keeping me down, I've managed to shoot an 81 with these same clubs. I am now looking at demoing some clubs intended for low handicaps, but now I'm judging by the result and not the reputation. I'm wanting clubs that I can continue to grow into. If I can't hit the musclebacks or mid-handi irons better than these, though, I'll be keeping the ugly Zings. The guys in the clubhouse don't laugh as much when I'm sticking greens 5' from the flag at 150 yds and picking up my prize money after the tournament.

The best thing I can suggest for anyone at any time is to demo the clubs for a while. Don't buy just on reviews. I never even considered Mizunos until I hit them. Now they're strongly in contention. My Cobra driver sounds awful, but it won my demo test (hitting around 300 balls with each of 4 drivers over the course of a week) so I bought it. My Ping Zings took me from 40 to 15 hcp. If you can find a set to demo, give them a try. I'd guess with them being so old, you could find a set for $100-200.

My only set I've owned is the Zing.
I have hit a few times the Mizuno MP57 8-iron (like it very much), the MacGregor something that I hated, and the Callaway X-18 but not enough to form an opinion (once on a par 3).

So i have a tommy armour iron set and it was doing fine but my dad got a new set of irons and left his Ping Zings so i snatched them up and i love the unique look, great forgiveness, and feel. I feel like a more confidenet golfer with these because how can you miss the ball the face is massive. they are great.

Great set of irons. I was playing some Taylormade burner irons for a long time, but they were getting too short for me. I picked up these Pings that were sitting in my brothers garage and I'm so thankful nobody claimed them and I got them for free! They are easy to hit with a huge sweet spot. Not as much feel as I would like in a set of irons, but I'm not even sure if it would make a significant difference in my game. Pick these up if you can!

Simply the best irons I have ever played. The most consistent throughout the set; the most forgiving, the best ball flight (med-high), and the best distance (not long, not short). I played Big Berthas for a few years, however, the lack of feel took me on a 6 month odyssey to find a forgiving iron that also has some feel. Granted, these are not very workable, but at my skill level, not looking for that yet. But did want to know when I hit one well or a bit off, and this does that for you.

Customer Service

Awesome, I have called a few times and they treat you each time like it's the first call they took that day and they are very attentive.

Purchased these clubs in 1991 and played off 2 for years. Gave up the game 8 years ago and am just starting back now...cant drive for crap but am hitting brilliant irons. Tried all the others out, yes they hit further, feel a bit sweeter but i dont think they have the consistency of these irons. Am struggling to pay money for something that looks better, hits a bit further but thats about it.
