Anyone still using Ping Eye2 Berylliums?

[cyr67]

I have a mint set of BeCu Eye 2+'s, 3-LW. I reshafted them with X100's and regripped them with the GP green Victory grips...how I would have played them BITD. It always amazes me how, performance-wise, these can still hang with my current, modern irons. They were crazy ahead of their time. And they look absolutely ace!

That was an outstanding 3W. That whole Midsize line was great. FlexTwist!!!!!!!!

[Gsea]

Play 90% of my rounds with these.

Those headcovers are in a league of their own...

Pat Perez recently talked about borrowing a set of copper eye 2's and going on a tear with them. It was on the sub par podcast on youTube. Good stuff.

[JosephNewton293]

Sorry for your loss, amazing story. The movie about the incident was excellent.

[Sgidurango]

I still play the 6-SW irons of my Ping BeCu Eye 2s, the 2-5 are in storage. I bought them new and they just continue to do the job they were designed to do. I just regripped them with copper colored Winn Dri-tac wraps a week ago and they look sharp. Love them!

I had a set about 15 years ago. I played some great golf with them for about 2 years and then didn’t play from 2007-2014 so I sold them. I’d recently been thinking about them not only because they were great clubs but also been thinking about the rounds I had with my golfing buddies back then. Decided to buy another set for nostalgia but also because they perform and just picked up a set of eBay. Can’t wait to get them in the bag again.

One of my sets. I have 4 sets of becu eye 2’s. This one is 1-lob all matching serial. Some irons have never touched a ball.

[QuigleyDU]

I was never a fan of those irons. But I completely understand the appeal for some.

 

play what makes you love the game more.

[Jaygolf37]

 

Firmly in my bag. ZZ65 cushins. I love everything about them.

[drumdude96]

I have a set of BeCu Zings that I reshafted with black powder-coated AMT Tour White shafts and they are sweet. I play with them several times a year and they are just as good as anything I have ever hit, whether it be forged or otherwise. PING simply makes damm good irons, no doubt about it. I also just bought 3, 5, and 7 Callaway Warbird fairway woods to go along with them to make a "modern vintage" setup. I did try an older driver, but that's a big "hell no!" from me. I'm not giving up that much forgiveness for nostalgia's sake, lol.

When I started getting back into golf 15years ago I upgraded my MacGreggor MT blades which I couldn't hit with a Ping Eye 2+ set from ebay. Played them until I joined this forum and read what everyone else was using. Replaced them with MP 54s then the TM 770s I game now.

[Hertsjoatmon]

In the set in my signature I use a becu sandwedge

Just bought a set of the stainless because I always wanted a set back in the day but, never indulged myself. 3 to LW. So much fun. Never said that about a set of irons before. Old timie lofts of course. About 1.5 clubs shorter. I just adjusted and hit some great shots. Feel surprisingly good at impact. The LW is a dream out of the sand. First day felt like Christmas. I'll keep them and play them when I want to remember what golf is really about. They will sit right beside my TN 87s. Classic.

I played a set of BeCu's for a LONG time. I got the heads 2-SW and shafted them with Royal Precision Tour Flighted Rifle 6.0 shafts based on a 39" 5 iron. They were black dots and I needed white dots, but I loved the irons so much I just played them. Eventually I wanted something else and like a fool sold them. I kept the shafts and sold the heads for what I paid for them.

If I see a set of white or green dots, I will jump on them and probably throw a set of KBS C Tapers in them.

I would have zero qualms about playing them today, and if my friends made fun of me...well, I'd just laugh cause they're jealous.

[Hooterguy]

I acquired a 3-SW set 4 years ago, and reshafted them with KBS C-Tapers. I have tried several sets of irons, from Mizunos to TaylorMade JDM Burner TP’s, and always return to the BeCu’s wondering why I even bothered to try anything else. At one point in a fit of insanity I even put them up for sale, and fortunately the Golf  Gods slapped me silly for doing so. Besides, I didn’t even get a nibble. 
I am a professional musician, and I play what works best for me, regardless of the latest and greatest out there. If someone doesn’t agree with my choice of club or instrument, the “(expletive deleted) ‘em and feed ‘em fish heads” quote comes to mind. The BeCu’s have a feel and flight like no other, and they are staying. 
Now to find an “affordable” set of ISI nickels...

I had a set of the Ping Eye2 stainless irons.    I made my only hole-in-one with the 6 iron.

But I never got used to the amount of offset in them.   My eyes rebelled.   So I sold them.

The Ping i3 irons had much less offset (to me).   These didn't offend my eyes

[animalgolfs]

I'd bag BeCu Eye 2+ sw  & Eye  2 sw in a heartbeat

 

 

[ChipNRun]

A couple of years ago, the overall Eye2 family came up in one of our discussions.

 

At the end, a fellow WRXer PMed me and offered to sell me the full-meal deal Eye2 BeCu set: 1i - LW for $400. Although tempted, I declined.

 

If I had a walkout basement which I controlled, I would have been tempted to buy.

what's your take on stainless vs becu on feel and performance ?

 

 

No difference performance wise.  Look and feel is different.  I own stainless, copper and nickel.   Nickel is the softest.  I still play my eye 2 stainless lob that has been in my bag since 1990..  material is a personal preference. BeCu eye 2 sw and lobs still command high resale value.  

[JahSteve]

Currently game the Eye 2 plus BeCu wedges only... Love them. Did take some time to get used to the Lofts and gaps within my irons (ping g710's).

Lol...sold them last summer.  I Still have 3 sets of becu eye 2’s, one set of becu zings, one set of stainless eye 2’s, one set of stainless zings with the uber expensive red carbon fiber shafts, and one set of nickel isi’s.

I’m gonna use this set this year.  I prefer the looks of the BeCu version, but the BeNi feel better.  I love everything about them!

Out of curiosity, did those copper ISIs come with black fill or was that done afterwards?  Mine came in white.  Just curious.  The black looks nifty.

I have both BeCu, and BeNi.  The ones I posted above are my BeNi set.  I did the black paint fill.  Stole the look from Ping WRX.  Looks great on the BeNi.
