Ping equipment reviews June 30th, 2008
Inspired by the original Eye 2 which earned a strong following among tour pros for its versatility and performance – this sole design is extremely easy to use from all types of sand while not giving up playability from the turf. The Sand Cup is the concave sole which moves the pivot point further from the lead edge.
This design feature, coupled with an aggressively tapered heel and toe, allows the clubhead to enter the sand quickly. It gets under the ball and increases trajectory, and the wide pivot point keeps the head from digging. The results are softer landing bunker shots. Deep Multi-level Cavity – Deep cavity helps maximize perimeter weighting increasing the moment of inertia and forgiveness of these wedges. The multi-level cavity locates the CG toward the center of the face and lower in the head for a more solid feel.
Classic Shape – Builds confidence when setting up to hit any kind of shot, from delicate pitch shots to blasting bunker shots. Traditional Aesthetics – Finish is very durable while providing the classic non-glare look. Patented Flat Top Hosel and Hosel Notch – The flat top hosel is designed to reduce stress and improve feel, while the hosel notch controls the bend point for precise loft and lie adjustments. 703 Grip – Rubber grip has 703 “flame” shaped patterns giving the grip a soft textured feel in the fingers.
