ARE THE BEST GOLF CLUBS REALLY ANY BETTER THAN OLDER GOLF CLUBS

  Ping should re-release an OG Eye 2 iron set. Same look with some modern tweaks.

  Better is a tighter shot grouping.  You just explained to me why my son won't let go of his inherited Ping Eye 2 set.  He's not the data junky that you would like to see in us amateur golfers.  He just knows what he likes to play, and wins , with.  Thanks Mark.  Great video and a really reasonable comparison of old versus new.  I hope you don't take a hit from the manufacturers, who have basically run out of ideas to improve my enjoyment of the game.

  I played the Eye-2s in 2 iron to SW in 1989 and only changed the 2 iron for a hybrid last year.  Same model played for 32 years and I'm a scratch golfer.  Nuff said brah.

  My favorite thing about Mark is his outlook on golf and the industry in general. Almost every video I find myself agreeing with Mark and I don't see anyone else talkin about the things he is, or at the very least they're not doing it in his way.

  I still use my ping eye 2 &nbsp;9, PW and sand wedge. Tried many other short irons with no luck. I think using the same clubs for 40 years becomes a part of your game.<br>Thanks for the honest video.

  I remember using my Dad&apos;s Eye2s when I was a kid. Instantly hooked to the brand. I now use a set of i15s which still uses traditional iron lofts.Nevwr been a fan of stronger loft irons. It&apos;s not how far you hit the ball, but how you place the ball on each hole as you plan your way around the course. Old school rules.

  Great review and perfectly timed. I played quite a bit in my youth. I bought a new Eye2 set (3-SW) in 1987 and played a lot for a couple of years, then only played once a year until I retired late last year at 57. I&apos;ve been deciding whether to keep playing the Eye2s or buy a full set of G425s. You started to compare the clubs as I would like late in your review. It seems it would make sense to do the same comparison with equally lofted clubs, at least as closely as possible instead of using different distances for the same number club. From what I can find, the differences are about a club and a half in the long irons and only one club at about the 8 and 9 irons.<br><br>From this review, I&apos;m not sure I would bother getting new ones. It&apos;s amazing that Ping got it so right almost 40 years ago. I don&apos;t care if I have to hit a club or so more than those I play with - the young guys anyway. I&apos;ve always been a long hitter and didn&apos;t even realize my clubs were so high lofted until recently. I hit the Eye2s as long as most of the guys I play with even giving them the extra club head-start. Thanks for helping with my decision.

  I&apos;d buy Ping again if they brought out an Eye2 shape iron, absolute classic

  What a great video, solid points! Hard to beat the Eye 2. I got a cheap set of Eye 2 for 75 bucks a couple years ago to learn the game on. I just &quot;upgraded&quot; to a set of G irons from 2016. They definitely go farther, feel lighter, are more forgiving, and seem to spin similarly, so it&apos;s a win win upgrade but for tech from nearly 40 years ago, it&apos;s staggering how relevant the Eye 2 remain today.

  Great timing for this informative video, thanks Mark! I’m a 58 yr old 12 hcap carrying an old Eye2 Black Dot LW for decades…more out of nostalgia than anything else and just love the look of it. It’s a real conversation starter when paired with strangers, especially being LH’d and always fun to hear people comment fondly on this iconic brand and model from yesteryear. I just took the plunge snd bought the 3-SW set for $270. and seriously considering making them my primary irons over my Callaway RogueX set. This video validates it shouldn’t set me back once I adjust to distance due to loft differentials. I’m more excited than ever!
