Someone should write an article on the Ping Eye 2 irons. They are notable because they were the first perimeter-weighted clubs (commonly referred to as 'forgiving' clubs or 'cavity-backs') to hit the market. As stated on Ping's website:

"The deep cavity allowed weight to be distributed around the outside of the head - resulting in a high moment of inertia (MOI). In simple terms, it meant the clubhead resisted twisting at impact on off-centre hits - so it was - and remains - very forgiving. Still highly useable, Ping Eye 2 irons are without doubt the most popular irons in the history of the game. So enduring is their appeal, they are still available to buy new from Ping as a special order."

I could be wrong here, but wasn't Ping the first to engrave serial numbers on the nozzle for anti theft purposes and to facilitate easy club replacement?

I hope someone with a good understanding of golf technology can contribute.

Came here hoping for some back story on the recent controversy over Ping wedges with square grooves and whatever legal settlement made those from pre-1990 legal when other square grooved wedges were outlawed (if I've got that story quite right). Maybe someone knowledgeable could add?140.247.248.42 (talk) 04:43, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
