individual Ping Eye 2 Irons

The Ping Eye 2 irons are the golf equivalent of Levi's 501 blues. I ordered them individually on EBAY to complete a set. While people go on and on about the matching Serial numbers, buying individual clubs allowed me to mix the dot colors used in the Ping system. I decided to make the long irons even more upright and the short irons flatter. I went with regular (black dot irons) in the middle. With one club, I did call Ping with the Serial number and found that while it was listed as a green dot, it was actually a black dot.
I didn't go for any of the pricey BeCu clubs. I did make sure that the irons had the square grooves (the easiest check is to make sure that the Karsten marking below the Ping Eye 2 lettering is not upside down - those very early clubs have V instead of square grooves). One of the individual clubs did have the + which denotes the modified square grooves. In playing the + club, I didn't notice much difference between it and the original square grooves. The word "forgiving" is very accurate with these clubs. Botched approach and chip shots seem to end up closer than they would have been.
I polished the stainless club heads up with fine steel wool and they look fantastic. It is truly hard to believe that they are 20 years old, give or take a couple years.
Best wishes to all Ping Eye 2 and would-be Ping Eye 2 owners!
