Of course, I was still hooking the ball this morning playing Mizuno MP68's with no offset at all, so what good did it do me. I wanted to get away from the offset because I was hooking the ball. They were never very pretty but no matter how many times you hit them they look like new. Also, Ping Eye 2's have the wear rate of an anvil or a railroad iron. So if you get new clubs you will be hitting a 9 iron where before you were hitting an 8. More modern clubs have specs that are a club longer, for instance many modern PW's are 45* or even 42* where the Eye 2 9 iron is 45*. If you aren't completely satisfied at least you aren't out more than what that one club costs you. Last suggestion would be to buy like the 7 iron of whatever you are thinking of going with and just hit that one club for 90 days or so and see how you feel after that testing period. But try them all and see what works for you. I believe you'll like the feel of the i200 or i700 irons much more then you would the G400 or G700.

And I will tell you in closing that the i3+ irons have a much better feel that the G series irons. So my advice, as a lifelong Ping player and former PE2 man, is test out the G700 irons while you wait for the i700 irons to become available for testing. The G700 is absolutely beautiful to look at, and the feel of this club is like nothing I have hit before, and is beyond impressive. But they recently came out with the G700 irons, and on a whim I replaced my U wedge and S wedge with the G700 versions, and man, I am in love with those two wedges. Absolutely love the look and feel of these clubs, especially when struck pure. I can testify that I love my G400 driver, hybrid and 4 crossover. But hold on to your horses before you switch out, because Ping is said to be coming out with the i700 irons soon, and if I were you, I would hold fast, and wait for those babies to be available. If I had it to do over again, I would get the i200 irons for the complete set. Outside of that, I experimented with a couple of newer things and due to an error on my part, I bought a Ping i200 pitching wedge, and absolutely love this club. But my game is at a level where I have learned to hit just about anything good, so I can score really well with my G irons, regardless of a clanking noise or not. When I mishit one of the G irons I know it instantly as it has this nasty clanking sound when it's not flush. Now in saying I am not all that happy, I say that from a relative perspective. I was able to get them bent to fix the lie angle issue, but the non-conforming issue was always on my mind, so I upgraded.Īll that being said, I am not all that happy with the G irons I bought, but once you sink that sort of money into them (unless money is no object) you are kind of set with them for another decade or so. The only reason I retired the i3+ irons was (well, 2 reasons) that they were non-conforming for tournaments, and I took a long break from the game, and during that time, my swing path had changed, which was causing my blue dot i3+ irons to hook dramatically. I retired them in 2003'ish and bought a set of Ping i3+ irons, which I just retired last year and upgraded to the Ping G irons. I have a set of PE2's sitting in my bedroom. I am convinced that without a ball flight analysis, between my PE2's and replacement candidates, it is a waste of time. Have changes in iron design/technology been significant - like that of drivers? Then I read quite a few comments from folks who moved from PE2's (and other older gen clubs) only to either come back to them or see minimal, if any, improvement. It's not that I don't hit my irons well (I do), but more the thought that new technology might make further improvement.

Having only recently upgraded from my GBB driver and seeing positive results, it now has my curiosity as to whether a change in irons would improve my game. That fitting, likewise, did not evaluate ball flight data - just on the range. I had been wondering about this for some time. Interestingly enough, the fitter said my green dots with the regular zz-lite shafts, are still correct today. This past winter in Yuma, I attended a Ping Demo and was fitted for the G400's. I say "fitted" as back then it was simply measurement and watching some shots into the net. I was "fitted" for my PE2's which I purchased in 1988 and have played with Tend to play a soft fade and hit my irons very close to most distance charts for a 98 mph swing speed. Best formal handicap was 11 and now about 14. If you are a former PE2 player, what irons did you switch to, why, and how did the change work out? I've been sitting on the fence about changing my irons and need some MySpyGolf Agents intervention.ĥ7 years old and been playing the game since about age 7.
