What Are Your Favorite Ping Irons?
Is there a website anywhere that has all of the Ping iron specs and comparisons?
Eye2's were revolutionary, but seriously fugly. i5's were solid performers. G25 was stupid easy to hit....maybe should have kept that set. Every time I hit a buddy's G410's I think that I should steal them....he sucks so bad Ping should pay him not to play their clubs.
Ping i25s where my one and only, in play to date. I wonder if the i210s will ever get some play or if they will be gone before they get a chance?
I have played Eye 2, i3 blades, and the S56's. Liked them all for different reasons. If I still had the game, I'd play the S56's. Anyways had a soft spot for the ISI'd, but never owned one. Hmmmm
sdandrea1 The ping TFC 419...Plan to try them out... If not pleased will definitely give your choice a go...
fatshot Wnen I google for Ping specs, I'm often referred to 2nd Swing Golf's website. They seem
to show the specs for every set they happen to be selling at the time.
Here is one I use a bit. It has most but I was looking for something Ping specific with a side by side chart.

fatshot I had a set of I5's that I ordered myself when I retired. Loved those clubs until the R shafts got too strong for me in
my old age. Foolishly, I sold them instead of re-shafting. Wish I had that set back!
I hear ya I had that set twice. Played them for years til I started chasing the distance irons. I now have the pxg 0211 which is surprisingly similar in head shape/ size. I remember thinking ping built the perfect set when those came out

Phew, I’m over the Raptures. Have other things on my wish list that would serve a purpose.
Typhoon Good for you having a purpose with club selection, I simply just want other clubs than what I have now. Need to be purposeful, but if I do may have to get rid of some.
What is the diff between the ISI's and the Eye 2 +?
I have a set of i5's that manage to wind up in the bag from time to time.
A pretty forgiving iron, just not the best looking.
Hit some BeCu's at a demo day once, those were some sweet sticks!

I made the switch to graphite.

This is from memory, so I could be off a bit..
- Karsten I, II, III were first
- Eye
- Eye 2
- Eye 2 +no+
- Eye 2 +
- IsI
- IsI K
- ZING
- ZING 2
- Then they started the heads with the oval cavity weight, i3, i3 blade, i3 OS, i3+, i5.....the G series started sometime in there as well. I think the G2 replaced the ZING 2.
This was from WRX back in 2008.

Good info. Thanks, Steve and CP.
Sending my black dot Eye 2+ set back to PING for a bend up to blue and a retumbled/paint fill. Pics when they get back.
The only I’ve tried are Raptures. They are great. Like others, I’ve lusted for Beryllium Copper, but have never hit them.
The longest I played a set of pings about 3 years was the g10s. Also liked g25s
I've been using Ping irons for quite a few years - had a set of S56s (from new) that I used for something like 10 years, and replaced them last year with i210s.
