I’ve been looking into vintage golf clubs, and the Ping Eye 2 lob wedge has caught my attention. I know it has a reputation for its performance, but I’m trying to dig into the specifics. Does anyone know the exact loft of this club?

I’m particularly interested because:

  • I want to compare it to my current wedges.
  • I’m considering whether to add it to my collection.
  • I’ve heard great things about its performance around the greens.

If anyone has used it or has the specs, I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences with this club!

Thanks in advance!

The Ping Eye 2 lob wedge typically has a loft of around 60 degrees. This high loft allows for excellent vertical trajectory, making it ideal for delicate chips and flop shots around the greens.

That’s a great point! The higher loft really helps with stopping the ball quickly on the green. Have you noticed any specific benefits using this wedge for tricky lies?

Great question! Generally, higher lofts offer more spin due to the steeper angle at impact. That extra spin can really help control your shot on the greens.

I’m curious about how loft affects spin. A wedge with a higher loft like the Eye 2 should give more spin, right? How do other lofts compare in that aspect?

I love the feel of my Eye 2 lob wedge! The loft is perfect for those quick stop shots. Anyone else experience the same?

Totally agree, Jose! It’s like having a magic wand around the greens. Just need to be careful not to overuse it or you might end up too close to the flag!

Indeed! But using higher loft can sometimes lead to those fluffed shots if you’re not careful. What’s everyone’s technique for getting a clean strike?

I’ve found that really focusing on my stance and ensuring I hit down on the ball helps a lot. Practice makes perfect!

For me, it’s all about confidence! Once you trust your lob wedge, hitting the right shots becomes a lot easier. How do you all stay confident with such lofted clubs?

I think practicing different lies helps. The more variations you encounter, the more ready you’ll be in real situations.

I love a good flop shot! With the Eye 2, it’s so easy to execute. But who else feels like there’s a fine line between a flop and a disaster?!

13

Haha, I feel that! Nothing worse than trying to flop a shot and it just goes… nowhere. What’s your strategy for avoiding that?

Honestly, my confidence goes down the drain with these high loft shots! It’s so easy for me to mishit. Any tips for keeping it steady and not losing my cool?

Brandon, focus on your breathing! Taking a deep breath before each shot can really calm those nerves. It works wonders!

Sometimes I just laugh it off! Golf is supposed to be fun, right? If you fluff a shot, just try again. It’s all a part of the game.

The loft of the Ping Eye 2 lob wedge is typically around 60 degrees, which is great for high shots around the green. Anyone find their newer wedges just as effective?

I’ve been using the Eye 2 for years! I think newer models, like the Cleveland RTX series, offer better spin control, but there’s something nostalgic about the Eye 2.

I agree, the technology in newer models like Callaway’s MD5 Jaws has improved the forgiveness factor significantly. The Eye 2 is solid, but it doesn’t have the same feel.

That’s true! Many players might not realize how much technology has advanced in wedges over the past few years. Has anyone tried the TaylorMade Milled Grind 2?
