I was browsing the local Play-It-Again-Sports yesterday and, out on the sidewalk amid the battered King Snakes, Spauldings, and faux Big Berthas, I found a like new set of original Ping Eye irons 2-SW. They had the original ZZ-Lite shafts and matching numbers. The grips looked original also, but seemed in really good shape. They looked like they'd rarely if ever been played and were only $39, so I bought them. (I'll try to post pics.)
They rate an 826 (super game improvement) on Maltby's playability scale so, despite their age, I knew they should be easy to hit. I took them to the range that afternoon; they were indeed easy to hit. Not a very high trajectory, but even the 2i (18.5*) easily got off the ground. The heads look impossibly small, but then the ball consequently looks huge and impossible to mishit. I'll take them out for a half-round this afternoon. They were $1250 new--very expensive for 1981 when they were sold.
Anyone familiar with these? Any opinions welcome.
