Purchase: I was at Golf Galaxy looking for a new pair of shoes. Saw these on the wall and had to try it. Wildest looking putter I have ever seen! I think they are asking $149.99 for these.
Pros: The G2i insert has grown on me. Initially I thought it was too soft, but after spending some time trying it, it does seem to communicate good feel. The Ping Winn grip is really comfortable. Not much else.
Cons: Putting is an act of concentration on two things: the ball and the hole. How you get it there depends on speed and alignment. We all know this, I know. My point being, this putter actually distracts from the task at hand. The alignment line on the "flange" if you will, is helpful in getting the putter aimed correctly. But there is so much "scrollwork" on this putter, your eye has a tendency to wander. I couldn't get a comfortable feeling with this thing. It truly is "Craz-e" looking. Face balanced for a straight back and through stroke only. Don't bother if you like to go inside-square-inside with your stroke a la Philly Mic.
Craz-E G2i Quality: Ping makes a quality product with all their clubs. This is no exception. I have played their irons for years and enjoy them very much.
Review & Rating Summary: Too Craz-e to be effective on the green -for me anyway! Prefer a more simple approach to putting.
Ping Craz-E G2i Rating: 2

Ping G2 Green Dot Reg. steel 5-pw - Irons - These irons are very forgiving. Give them a try if you haven't already. I feel they are the best available if you can dig deep into your pocketbook. They will make you look a lot better than you ar
Ping G2 Driver - Drivers - Long, Straight, FUN!!! Get a hold of one of these drivers and crush a few balls. Sound off the driver is sweet. I never thought I'd hit anything other than a titleist driver, but this Ping G2 blew me
Ping Eye 2 - Irons - As a final comment I would recommend these clubs to anybody who wants a good quality club at a preowned price.They last well if looked after.
