These clubs can be great for you if you buy the right ones fit for you. Ping helps to make this easier, especially for you folks buying on Ebay, and not in a store. I did the static fit on Ping.com and previously had a local professional fit me dynamically. Because of this, I found the perfect match for me and I'm not afraid to buy them online. The website even tells you which shaft to go with if you know how far you typically hit your 6 iron. I found that by working on tempo and not trying to kill the ball, I am able to gain considerable distance and accuracy over my old irons (Titleist DCI 990) just by using these clubs and slowing it down a bit.
When you buy the proper length and lie, you will be amazed at how much better you strike the ball.
My point is this; get a solid fitting in before you buy any irons. They might be a good deal, but there is a reason Ping fits you to the club.
About the Ping irons. These irons play well. I found it easy to shape shots from right to left. It was a bit more difficult left to right, but I've never been able to do that well anyhow. Because I was able to let the club hit the ball and control my tempo better, the ball flight is consistent and the carry is, too. My accuracy has increased dramatically, as well. Especially from the 8 iron down to the pitching wedge. The shot trajectory is much higher and softer landing with these and I don't get a lot of roll. Again, especially from the 8 iron down.
I attribute a lot of the improvements to the change in my tempo, but I give the Pings the credit for helping me change the tempo of my swing and really feel what I am doing with the shot more than that of other irons I have hit. Mishits are not so bad either. You really have to shank the ball or leave the clubface open to mess a shot up with these.
Expect to pay more for the various graphite shafts. The Ping custom WRX clubs are usually more as well. If you find a set of Pingss with a matching sand wedge, jump on them because the sand wedges are hard to find individually.
A lot of times, the owners name has been applied to the club. I found you can get this off easily with acetone and light sandpaper if it is screened in and not etched. You might ask the seller when this is listed this way.
In addition, if you are not very good at the long irons (2,3, and 4) you may want to look at the G5 hybrids. I have them too. If you hit the ball hard, but typically slice or hook, the hybrids dramatically reduce the mishit effect.
Be careful when bidding. There are some demo clubs floating around out there. Check with the seller for serial numbers as all Ping consumer clubs have them. Pay attention to feedback scores. This is Ebay's barometer of service. I swear by the feedback system.
I hope you found this info helpful.

THE BEST IRON EVER MADE????????45 of 45 people found this review helpful.
For their age there is still nothing better!
I can't think of one model of iron that was introduced over 20 years ago and is still being used today by so many. That includes the novice to the touring pro. I am fortunate to own the 35th set of Ping Eye2 irons produced in BeCu Copper (2 to LW). I also have had the opportunity to test or own nearly 60 other sets of irons and the Ping Eye2 with the original non-conforming square grooves are by far the most consistent CAVITY back irons I have ever played!
Some advice! Before you buy get educated!
The only knock I hear about the Eye2 model is they don't carry as well. Nothing could be farther from the truth. These statements are made by those who are just not educated to the Eye2 loft sequence. Go to www.ping.com under iron listing and then check out the link to the classic lists. Compare the specs on the original Eye2 model produced from 1982 to 1990 and compare it to any other manufacturers specs (or Pings specs for their newer irons). You will note that the Eye2 models consistently have a higher loft on every iron. In short when your buddy pulls out his 8 iron and you are pulling out your 7 iron you are both actually hitting the same lofted club. Another example is the original Eye2 SW was at 58 degrees of loft. In most sets today that's the LW.
Some other important advice before you purchase a set of Eye2 model irons go to Pings web site. Under irons check out their classic or vintage listings. You will discover that there were actually 5 different models of Eye2 irons produced from 1982 to March 1990. Do you know which model you are buying? All these models had slightly different cavity designs and some changes in loft and groove construction. Here are the Features and identifying markings:
#1 The Eye2 "V" groove models manufactured from 1982 through Summer 1984, identified by PAT. PENDING in cavity and KARSTEN MFG CORP PHOENIX AZ 85068 U.S.A. upside-down on back of top rail.
#2 The Eye2 Lite models introduced in 1984, identified by PAT. PENDING in cavity and KARSTEN PHOENIX AZ 85068 U.S.A. right-side-up on back of top rail.
#3 The "U" groove models manufactured from Fall 1984 to Fall 1985, identified by U.S. PAT. D276644 OTHERS PEND. in cavity.
#4 The Radiused "U" groove models manufactured from Fall 1985 to March, 1990, identified by U.S. PAT. D276644 and 4.512.577 in cavity.
#5 The rarest of all the "New Eye2" also known as the +NO+ (plus no plus) models with reshaped soles, increased perimeter weighting, less bounce in wedges, and stronger lofts than the original Eye2. These were first introduced in November of 1989 and ran until March 31, 1990. Identified by U.S. Pat. 4.512.577 and 4.621.813 in cavity, club heads produced had no "+" in the cavity.
Ready to buy? Heres what to do. From the Seller request the serial number from the hosel BEFORE you buy and make sure all irons in the set have a matching serial number. If the Seller is not willing to pass on the serial number then pass on the Seller and find another set. I have found that 99% of all Sellers are very good at relaying the serial number information on. With that serial number you can contact Ping Customer Service at 800 474-6434 and they can give you all the information on the set including date of manufacture, original dot or lie code, original shafts, original clubs included in the set and even the original grips. Ping's Customer service is the best I have found. It's worth the call.

These clubs are a perfect fit for a tall man. I hit them as a young man. I hadn't swung a golf club in 10 years and with these clubs it was like riding a bike all over again. I can't stress fit enough when it comes to pings.

the clubs were the most worn out set of clubs that i have ever seen. rusted, pitted, bad grips. the only grip that was fair was the one she showed the picture of. gross mis-representation, sent to wrong address, failed to do anything about it, did not answer any of my e-mails.
i threw the clubs in the trash where they belong!!!!!! my fault for being stupid enough to deal with anyone that would not accept pay- pal. this lady is adept at mis-representation and it's apparent to me now why she will not accept pay-pal. every thing else that i have purchased thru e-bay has been more than satisfactory. thanks for letting me vent my anger and confess my stupidity. i will never again deal with anyone that will not accept pay pal!!!!!!!! nate \

Ping Golf BagEbay provides a remarkable resource for me to locate almost anything I should want to purchase. My most recent purchase was a golf bag. The entire process was very user-friendly. The seller was well-regarded within the eBay community, and our transaction went off without a hitch. We maintained contact with emai until I received my purchase.

one month shippingThe clubs were in very good condition for being used. They were exactly what I believed I had paid for. However they did not arrive for twenty three days after the purchase! Had I known they were going to be shipped on horse and buggy I would have paid the few extra dollars to get them sooner.

Great set for any player level.I did my homework before buying these clubs. I researched and asked everyone I knew about clubs. These clubs kept coming up as some of the highest rated, and most beloved by players. I am relatively new to the game, but I wanted to get some good clubs without spending a lot of money. I picked mine up for under $150. (which is a steal!) These clubs have been great in helping me learn the game. One thing to point out is that they do have a smaller club head than most clubs, which I thought would be a bad thing, but it actually has helped my game.

They are a very comfortable club to hit. I just enjoyed the feel that the club had in my hands and they seem to make a very fair and forgiving contact with the ball especially for a new or novice golfer.

Ping Eye 2 versus Ping RaptureReview created: 02/27/08
by:
Interestingly, I went retro to the Ping Eye 2 irons because I had Ping Rapture irons but they just did not have any good feel. Maybe it was the titanium faces in the Raptures, but the Eye 2's feel much, much better.

Awesome Ping Eye 2'sPing Eye 2's,in my opinion, are still to this day the best golf club ever made. The thing I love the best, is the fact that when they first came out they were over sized irons and now, over two decades later, they are closer to a blade club, as far as head size, than any other forgiving club out there. You can never go wrong teeing it up with the Eye 2 irons (from pro to first starter)you will be impressed. I just bought another set because i'm sending my clubs back to the Ping Factory to have them reconditioned after 23 years, it takes about 3-4 wks to do it, so I needed a filler set while mine are away.

Ping Eye 2 Iron set1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Wow, what a set of clubs! Mine are the original Eye 2's with black dots, and I have never hit a set of clubs with more forgiveness and better feel. The lofts are a bit weaker than my former clubs, but you can just refigure your distances accordingly. I can hit these ckubs so much higher and straighter than my old clubs (Tommy Armour 845) that it is amazing. That being said, I am finding that low "punch out" shots are difficult for me. I don't think you can go wrong with these clubs.

Going back to the originals...Review created: 08/01/07
by:
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.
No hoops or surprises here. These are just good basic clubs. Given their basic cavity, they perform well. I find that I can correct for fade fairly easily and hit these totally on line too.
I re-gripped mine and I love the addition. I can hold them loosely and feel comfortable without sending the club off into orbit.
They definitely have a high club-head speed so I found myself relaxing on my swing... If I pushed them, they sliced...
Basically, if you're a basic-good golfer with a predictable swing; these rock! If you're a beginner...expect some lag time. I usually shoot a 86-96 on any given day and these don't take anything away.
If you can find them for a good price...get them!!! They will improve your basic game and make you more consistent...
