Next project Ping Eye 2 refurbishing

I picked up two sets of swamp dipped mix and matched eye2 and plus irons for cheap. Blaming Steve. Cleaned up best picks of the bunch & hit big buck...

That will be such a change for you!.... heheheh

I doubt the lofts and lie angles move much on those old cast rock-hard heads. I think you could pound brick walls with them for 20 years and the specs would be close. 😊

sdandrea1 I should bring them to Frank when I go back to pick up my wedges and have him check the old Pings

I'd be interested in knowing if those guys had changed.

sdandrea1 my budget includes Bar Keeper or his friend Michelob ultra. That was my first clean up effort . Shaft of PW was short and head fell off. Glad I didn't swing it . Pulled 3 iron shaft for donor , epoxy setting tonight. Got to pick up some midsized grips for them. Even their look is becoming less hideous ...

They were never hideous. 😊 I just got back from Ocala. Now I own a set of green dot Eye 2 irons with TT S300 tapers in them. These were already shiny and clean. I paid more than $27, tho. 😏 I blame Karsten.................

Provisional

sdandrea1 I'm green with envy,
not for the green dot irons,
Wish I was stout enough for the S300s.

Yea, Karsten

Damn his "Eyes"

I'm not either. They'll get a reshaftt soon enough.

Provisional

Is shaft spec .355 tapered? I put caliber on pulled shaft from 3 iron, didn't detect change in diameter along tip

sdandrea1

Provisional

Yes, .355t, unless someone bored them out to .370. If you pulled a ZZ Lite shaft, it's. 355t

Green Dot, Red Dot, Black Dot. What color is actually considered standard specs? I guess I never knew what color signified what loft/lie combination.

Pw is eye+ but I'm liking turf interaction it has. When I get some decent grips on them. I'll be able to tell more but I think I've already decided I like the clubs. Tried 3 iron on a lark , don't believe I can go back to them.

Value G has set of Star grips and ProSofts for my little red eyes on their way. Old Ping shafts will have to suffice for now. I want to beat some balls . Need for instant gratification indicative of deficiency in character strength???

If that's the case, my character is one weak bastage........................

sdandrea1 loft. Lie chart. Have no lies

Thought it'd list for black dot for starting point since all colors of lie reference it.

Thanks azreg for the Ping chart. I know I saw it years ago but couldn't remember what was what.

Took my junkyard Ping red eye 2s out for a round today. Couldn't wait for the new grips. Had one of my best striking days with them both on parr 3s and approaches. Worn out slick hard small grips but still managed some decent play. Hopefully honeymoon will continue when I put on the new grips. Was one under for first 4 holes, then I started getting excited 😊
Still trying to determine/settle into the distances the "new" eye 2s will fly for me. Their directional control seems to be good so far. Mostly nice divots, moved ball forward as was suggested to help eliminate steep swing digging. Think I only took one pelt today. Newly shafted G15/Bassara driver and OLD Tmag 200 Steel /GD YS6 three wood (thx Ode) behaved better too. my best day ever with any three wood . Shot one over my best index from three years ago (dim history) even conquered last two holes with long water carries. No tribute for Poisidon today, although Druids got a couple I admit.
Hope honeymoon lasts forever!

Pulled the shafts on mine. Repainted the fill and cleaned the hosels. Going graphite.
