Ping G-2 Irons Mixed Set Golf Irons - Reviews

On 2004-06-28, Golfergod rated this Ping G-2 Irons Mixed Set a 5...(3809)



Purchase: I purchased this set from an eBay auction after months and months of searching for just the right combination. If you are patient and know exactly what you want, you will find it on eBay sooner or later. I paid $620 for a set that normally sells for well over $1,200 with the Ping 350 graphite shafts. Note: This is the G-2 Irons Mixed set, (Maroon Dot)including G-2 EZ: 3,4,5 HL graphite (R), 7-SW EZ graphite(S).
Pros: This mixed set of 3,4, and 5 HL irons and 7-SW in the EZ irons and they are the smoothest, sweetest irons I have ever played. My previous sets included two other sets of Pings -- a K-1 and an Eye-2 set. The 3,4, 5 HLs are more like fairway hybrid clubs. My favorite is the 7 EZ iron which I can hit dead-on-target from 160 yards out. I am 60 years old and I don't swing like I used to, but these clubs have put me back were I was when I was 40~!
Cons: These clubs do not work the ball right or left easily. They were designed and built to hit the ball high and straight, which is exactly what they do (Well, Duh!). On those occasions when you would really like a draw or fade you have to force the club to work the ball by turning the face several degrees in or out. Even then the amount of fade or draw is limited. My SW is too upright for me. I must have it adjusted.
Quality: This set is typical Ping Casting. What makes this set work is the variety of fitting options. I selected the three HL clubs at 5 degrees upright,(Maroon Dot) with regular flex graphite shafts cut to be 1 and 1/2 inch over in length. This makes them hit like hybrid wood/irons. The 7- SW are stiff graphite only one inch over. They are also 5 degrees up (Maroon Dot). The only club that gives me trouble is the SW which is too upright. I intend to have my local club fitter take 2 degrees off to make it only 3 degrees upright for a better match to my swing.

Review Summary: Final thoughts? Attend a Ping factory fitting or one of the "Demo Days" in your area. Find out what fits you exactly. If you can afford retail, buy the properly fitted set. If you can wait, look for the chance to buy your heart's desire on-line. This was my gift selection for my 60th birthday. I intend to play with these clubs until I am either dead or incapable of playing anymore. I figure I can play until I am 90 and those Pings will still be in my bag! I absolutely love them.
