Mr. High- Most of the pro golfers who evaluate and compare clubs seem reluctant to do it with clubs of similar loft. So it is informative and helpful to see your comparisons, especially since you bill yourself as a non-pro like most of us. Fun video, and I think I will keep my Eye 2s. Thanks, Bob
Awesome video! As an aside, I recently took some lessons and the PGA pro asked what irons I was playing. I showed him and he replied "DONT EVER SELL OR GET RID OF THOSE. YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANYTHING BETTER EVER AGAIN!"* Thank you for showing loft for loft *ALL caps for emphasis.
At 65 just bought a new set of clubs. I had a choice to spend eight to $1200 on a high rated iron set or $200 on a complete iron set of ping eye 2 black dot copper for $200. What do you think I did? Yep I went with the ping eye 2 copper. They are great.
Thanks Jim! I’ve played some rounds on the sim with the persimmon drivers and I might hit then straighter but normally 20-40 yards shorter. I’ll let you know if I do a comparison video!
Not surprised at all.The Eye2's were some of the best engineered irons ever made. I still play my Ping G5's from 17 years ago and love them. I've tried some of my friends "game improvement" irons and there's no comparison in terms of performance. The old Pings are way better. You got a great deal on those Eye2s. Might be interesting to compare the results of the Eye2 driver with a modern driver.
Thanks for watching! I did do a comparison but wasn’t hitting the best that day (especially with modern Ping). I might do an updated version! PING G425 MAX vs PING EYE 2 Wooden Driver! SURPRISING RESULTS! ruclips.net/video/ODzBe9U4AZs/видео.html
I have ping zing 2 knockoffs I've had for 25 years. I've been golfing more lately and eyeballing the G425s. I probably dont need new clubs, but if it's anything like me buying guitars, a new one will make me practice more.
I just ordered a used set of wilson 1200lt(1wood 3wood 5wood 2 iron - PW) clubs the other day. I'm new to golfing and I feel that I need to get good using old clubs before I purchase some new ones.
I have a buddy who is just getting into golf. He was looking to buy a new set and I told him HELL NO!! Find a used set of Ping Eye2's for cheap. All modern clubs are based on them and probably not much if at all better. He found a set at our local Edwin Watts for $100. I have a set of Mizuno's forged JPX 900's but I could go back to gaming the Eye2's in a heartbeat.

Still don’t know how to compare these two clubs. Apples and oranges. Lofts different. 1/2” in length difference. Eye 2 changed a lot of things. I still play my Eye 2s
Agreed, they are quite different. It was surprising in the end how the results were so similar if you just assume a 1 club difference even with all the differences Perhaps the small sample size had something to do with that? Margins could get bigger if I hit more shots, but it was a fun test! Thanks for watching!
I know a lot of ppl still game the Eye 2’s. I wanna do a video Irons only with the Eye 2s vs the G425’s. I think that would be another fun video. Maybe a Par 3 course?
@@jeffnahass8373 Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! Everyone is so ate up with distance. These extremely lofted GI irons seems like they would be hard to hold greens with no spin. The Cobra LTDX 7 iron has 26.5 degrees of loft! By comparison that loft is between and Eye 2 4I(25*) and 5I(28.5*) Nuts!
@@ivantheterriblegolfer that’s crazy. Takes a bit of challenge out of the game. I have a set of TM P790s the 7 is like an older 6. I increased the length of the shafts by 1/2”. I love the 4 iron. No 3, but I do play with a UDI 2 and a gap wedge
I did game the G425s at the time of this video. I think they were just a little more forgiving and I can always use some more forgiveness. Plus the lofts are pretty weak on the Eye 2s. Currently I’m playing Hot Metal 921, but I still think the Eye 2s are great clubs!
I have a set of Ping Zing 2's and a set of Ping i500's. Except for the difference in offset and loft- They play very similar but feel pretty different. Ping doesnt, and has never, made anything but top notch stuff. So I am not surprised.

They’re fun to make. I’ve got some more in the works!

Thanks for watching and the kind words!
So what irons are you playing? The Eye 2s?
@@ivantheterriblegolfer Yup! Every time I keep thinking about "upgrading" I keep coming back to these kinds of vids!
You sir, should be the official club tester of all golf gear. loft vs. loft and a real bloke hitting balls.
Thanks! I do love doing the club comparisons.
Glad you enjoy them!

Jim, thanks for the idea! I did the G425 Max vs Ping Eye 2 (wooden) Driver test.

cool video. still use my eye 2 red dots 3-sw, 21 years I've played them now. have a tsi driver and ping zing 2 putter as well.
Nice! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
Still use my eye2s today, never come across anything better since I got them in 1989....best irons ever made
Just became subscriber, I like your style
Thanks Robert!
Have an early set of Beryllium Coppers with graphite shafts.

Use the hundreds of dollars you saved to get lessons, you may never need to buy new clubs. Have fun.
1200 LT's one of Wilsons best I still have a set Great Irons !

That’s awesome. Golf is crazy popular eight now!
I wanna do a course vlog video with the Eye 2 irons and see if my score is any different

Good to know. At the end of the day, which do you play and why?

You need a stiffer shaft in those G425's is what those results show me.
I actually got rid of em.
But I have moved to a stiff flex shaft.
Thanks for watching!
WELL YES AND NO . YES IF YOU EXICUTE IT BUT IF YOUR NEXT SHOT IS A DUFF NO.
That’s golf :)

I’ve got the i230s now and love them also
