Ping ZING2 Irons

Ping ZING2 Irons 

DESCRIPTION

From Ping: In the ZING2 iron, Karsten engineers created a higher moment of inertia, which produces greater resistance to twisting on off-center hits... the extreme perimeter weighting of the ZING2 increases the clubs' effective hitting area, optimizing forgiveness and accuracy. They feature a "leaner" more subtle profile (more standard width top line etc...) than their original "ZING" predecessors.

These Pings were my first set of irons in my golfing era. I bought them because of the notorious name that Ping had behind them, and the quality I thought they could bring to my game. I was wrong!!!! They feel harsh on mis-hits, have a high sweet spot, and give you no feel or butter at the same time. Definitely fine for the beginner but inadequate for the better player. Once I sold these clubs, my scores improved quite dramatically.

It's not bad but it's not good either. Anything they do for you has to be done through your local pro shop.

Great irons! You must be fitted to take advantage of what Ping is all about. Very easy to hit.

These Zing 2''''s are decent clubs while they''''re construction is impeccable However, it seems that I tend to slice the ball more often that I would with other clubs. They are forgiving but that large pointed toe is getting to be obnoxious from my viewpoint. I am finding that I perform better with a smaller head club, probably because it forces me to swing better than I normally do with the Zing 2''''s. I am putting my Pings up for sale on e-bay since I don''''t think that they are the optimum club for my game. The feel is harsh on a mis-hit!! You''''ll feel the vibration all the way up your arms and shoulder-probably a result of the clubs being made so strong. In fact, you''''ll feel the vibration for days. Overall, they are ok clubs but I don''''t think they were engineered well enough to help the average golfer. I have hit many more clubs that send the ball on a straighter, more controlled path. I don''''t think they''''re junk, but I don''''t think they are one of ping''''s better models.

Im 14 years old and these were my third set of full legnth clubs(the first nice ones) and since aquiring them i have gone from shooting in the 100s to shooting 70s. I usualy hit the ball prety high with these, and the feeling at impact is very soft when you hit the sweet spot, you can tell when you dont hit it right. very forgiving, but easy to work.

The Zing2''s are the best irons I have ever owned. My game has improved so much since I purchased these sticks. With three small children, I do not get to play as often as I want. But when I do get to play some golf, I hit the iron shots better than my golf buddies who play every week. They accuse me of playing more than I admit. I would recommend these clubs to anyone.

Tjis is just simply a great club! i''ve had players all round the world ranging from Barbados to Surrey how wonderful these clubs are and the are just the best. Although the large head may take some time getting use to the club is extremely forgiving and provides an excellent ball flight. I recommend getting the correct "spot" for the clubs as mine a slighlty too short, but what do expect for such a good price! However, do not get the wedges the''re just too chunky. i nicked my step dad''s eye 2 and its just great. I anyone wants to e-mail a chat about golf please do - tsuit@dulwich.org.uk Look for further reviews from me BYE

The club head is really big! After a while you get used to it though and it starts to give you a feeling of comfort - it''s almost like you know you can''t miss with a club this big. Distance control is very consistent but these are very hard clubs to shape a shot with.

Shoot in the 90s
Model Reviewed: Ping Zing 2, Black Dot, JZ Stiff

My original set of Zing 2's were stolen a few years ago. I replaced them with the X-12's - which are very good irons - but I was never able to get entirely comfortable with them. I always missed the Zing 2's. I was in the market for a new set of irons this year, so I contacted the good folks at Ping and discovered that the Zing 2's are still available on a custom order basis. They are priced about the same as the I-3's.

I ordered the set described above, and they arrived from Arizona within three weeks. I had heard that they were now being made with the same finish as the I-3's, but not so. They came with the same rough finish that they always had, which I personally prefer.

Needless to say, it's great to have these irons again. The Zing 2's are definately an excellent club for the mid to high handicapper like myself. You will not find a more forgiving iron out there - trust me, I have looked.

The biggest complaint people had about these clubs was the extremely thick top line and the overall size of the head. You will either love it or hate it. Highly skilled golfers don't seem to be overly fond of these irons, as they say they are difficult to work the ball with. Maybe one day when I am shooting in the 70's I will want a more "workable" iron, but for now, these are the club of choice for me. I find that the thick top line and overall weight of the club instills confidence at address and definately helps get the ball airborne.

If you shoot in the mid 80's or higher and are looking for a game improvement club, give these a try. If you can get over the initial appearance, you will not be disappointed.

PS: I'm sure a lot of 16 year-old Tiger wanna-bees wHo tYpE lIkE tHis are going to write to me and say how I should play Titleist blades. Save it, and get off the internet. It's a school night.

These clubs are great for a beginner that needs to work on their solid ballstriking. They give you a good straight ball flight and a good solid feel. They are pretty hard to work but overall they are a great club.

Shoot in the 80s
Model Reviewed: PING ZING 2 Steel shaft

Hard to fault these impressive irons, very forgiving and consistent in length, the long irons are a joy to hit. Like most Ping irons the SW is a little hot but great for the longer bunker shot and I have changed the Ping Dial grips for quality tour wraps.
If you have not tried these pick a 5 iron uo the next chance you have and hit a few balls, it certainly tempted me.
