Description Initially offered in 1991, the Ping ZING Irons were Ping's most dramatically perimeter weighted iron ever. They feature an extreamly wide top line and bold toe weighting.
Summary: I recently moved to Dallas and visited the driving range in Arlington. Although I has forgotten my clubs in Mississippi, I borrowed a 5 iron - Ping Zing and hit a large bucket of balls. I consistently hit shots straight at the target at and mostly beyond 200yds. Off center hits were straight although shorter. Ball trajectory too was medium to medium high. I liked the feel and have since ordered a complete iron set off of Ebay!
Customer Service: n/a
Similar Products Used: I have used MacGregor Blades since 1986 - although I still love them.

Summary: I bought these clubs at a garage sale to try them out. Took them to the range the next day and was spinning these clubs like crazy! Asked the pro shop about them and they said that the Ping Zing 2 are ILLEGAL b/c of the waffle cut on them causes so much spin. Turns our I couldn't use them for my highschool team. They are not worth buying. I now have Nike Victory Irons and I love them like heck!

Summary: I have these irons and they are great. I'm 14 years old and shoot anywhere between 90-100. I've only had these Irons for a few months but they're amazing! The weight is perfect and they have great pitch. These clubs are deffinatly worth buying.

Summary: I bought the clubs on ebay,they were cheap so i thought i'd give them a try.I had been useing Mizuno TP9(blades) for about 4years or so. First thing i noticed i was a bit short on distance,BUT wee i hit them so straight!!! Yes it's true even a miss hit gets it close.This is the Mk 1 zings black dot ktm steel shaft.Sooo here's where greed enters i bought a set of zing 2 graff regular shaft.Do you think i can hit these NO i can't,i have tried n tried. So i will stay with my mk 1 zings with stiff shafts.It seems to be agreed by all that an old fool my age 65 should hit graphite. Well they sure don't float my boat.I find distances very consistant with a nice high ball flight,and as i said straight!!! what more can you ask??
Customer Service: Never used it...but every one say's it's good.
Similar Products Used: I have had a go with all sorts.The TP9s was good but to get the best out of them,you have to be better than me.

Shoots in the 70s
Model Reviewed: Ping Zing 2 Irons
Summary: I recently bought a set of The Ping Zing 2 irons after spending 15 years quietly obsessing over them, (you try talking your parents into buying a new set of clubs when your ten) and I can honestly say they are probably one of the best series of Irons that I can recall playing, better than Mizuno (while mizuno makes great clubs, based on mis hits the Ping Zing 2 plays better)better than Titleist dci series, the 704 cb, the Power circle square two's,(obscure clubs but they're great) or Big Bertha Irons. They're awesome. The first thing I noticed, along with everyone else, is that the ball flight was a lot higher than my previous set, making for softer landings and less shots on the back side of the green. Another aspect I like is the forgivness, The club faces are a lot thicker, almost like the original Big Bertha Irons, with even the worst feeling shot still reaching the target. Another attribute I like is the ability of the Zing 2's to cut through the rough. They don't feel like they get bogged down nearly as much. One of the biggest jokes on the golf world is the concept that technology changes quickly, and that driver/iron set you had is outdated. Truth be told while there are some advancements that improve the game, the technology really peaked about ten years ago. So don't feel like you need to go out and get the latest and greatest every year. Thats what held me up so long, I was trying to sift through the latest technology and advancement when all I needed to do was look on ebay and go back about 15 years. Not only where they cheaper, but they look mean, which totally adds to the confidence factor. Also, on a side note, they are one of the nicest/coolest looking sets of clubs I've ever had, you can't miss them on the range. If they still choose to make an issue of the way they look, just show them your score card.
Customer Service: didn't use them
