Check My Ping Eye 2 Serial Number
Click to expand.Mine (see my signature) are the +'s. Wouldn't trade them for the world!!! As far as the original poster. Are they the Eye 2's, or the Eye 2+? Most of the Eye 2's had the Brunswick MicroTaper shaft. Stiff as a piece of galvanized pipe. What color dot?
If they're too far from standard, it might be difficult for anyone to play them. And, the BeCu's should not be bent. Chances are, you'll break some of them it you try.
What clubs are in the 'set'? Are they all the same serial number?
The 'value' is only what someone will pay for them. Personally, I can't see selling a set for $400-$500 when a set of new clubs. Without the personality.
Will cost twice that much. If they are, in fact, an entire set through wedge and are all the same serial number you might find someone who will pay a little more. Put Wishon's or Callaways or Nikes or Titleists or newer generation Pings in your bag and you may get the obligatory glance at the bag. Put the BeCu Pings in the bag and you'll find yourself in conversations about the clubs. They ARE unique.
You cannot buy newer technology. The Eye 2 design fathered the permiter weighting/cast clubhead technology that has endured for over 30 years. Understand, I am 62 years old with bad knees. (Scheduled knee replacement, this morning, for mid-August.) Have really struggled, this year, due to the knee pain. Yet, have carded a number of rounds in the upper 70's and dozens in the low 80's. With BeCu Eye 2+'s.
Having owned most every brand of OEM out there, I honestly believe I could score no better with any other set of irons. Good luck with whatever decision you do make. While watching the British Open, I heard it announced that Tom Watson was using a beryllium club and that they are no longer produced because of the toxicity caused by grinding on the club head. This being said, could I grind this material if wearing some sort of respirator, and what sort of grinding disc should I use?
I have a set of copper Ping Eye 2, with the orange dot. Clubs go from 1 through the Wedge. I believe my father built this set in 1993 or 1994. All I know is he passed away shortly after building them, and I consider it an honor to have them in my bag.

I have put my Ping Eye 2 clubs up for auction on e-bay. The heads are made of Beryllium Copper (BeCu), which is what gives them a lovely 'soft' feel when hitting the ball and some say offer greater control.
Very nice clubs to play with and due to increasing rarity they could be a great investment too: They are listed as individual clubs as not all of the serial numbers match, also the 4 iron is a Black dot model and the others Blue dot. Please note that the 3 Iron ends in the early hours of Friday morning next week and all the others end at about 10 PM on Friday evening next week. They all atart at 99p with NO RESERVE. If postage is required for more than one club I will combine the postage, and of course if the winning bidder wishes to collect that will be fine. Questions on here or by PM welcome. Regards hamster. How much for the set Sorry MLT but it gets my goat whe other people end early, so I always let them run.
I don't think they will fetch a fortune, maybe you could work out what you think they are worth to you and set up a bid sniper to get them? Sorry I can't be of more help. You are welcome to pop around if you want to see how they feel and check the condition, as is anyone on the forum. I don't mind sharing that all together there are 19 people 'watching' them at the mo, but as you'll see the bids are still very low. Ok can i collect if i win them or would i need to pay 7.50 per club postage? Of course MLT, I would be more than happy for the winning bidder to collect. Update 34 'watchers' overall, prices still woefully low fingers crossed that no-one gets too big a bargain, they are bloomin nice clubs to play with that you'll never find at a car boot sale or in a charity shop.
In fact I don't know if people realise but the BeCu material is now a controlled metal that is virtually banned from being machined unless in a strictly controlled environment. Due to it's no spark properties, it is a material used in the mining industry toi minimise the risk of explosions. I am rubbish at golf, but even I can feel the difference between BeCu and steel.
Appleogies for going on about them. Makes you wonder why more people didnt use BeCu and NO pro's use them then. FYI stevo, pro's only use a particular club and accesories for the money, if a new becu came out tomorrow and the manufacturere offered Tiger 10 squillion to play with it for a season, all of a sudden it would be better than what he is using today. Same as if when those stupid.ing 'blade' boots came out, money, money, money, and one day someone is gonna screw Craig Johnson for the damage he has cause dto their ankles with his stupid boots. I'm gonna get tied in knots trying to explain this, but here goes, and please someone back me up.
The cavity backed Ping Eye 2 was a revealation in the golfing world, most clubs since are variations on that theme. They brought out an 'Eye 2+' which was supposedly better, but the BeCu was the pinnacle (pun intended) of this cavity backed revolution. Ping then broke a rule in their efforts to make the perfedst club, they introduced 'square grooves'. Don't ask me why, but they were banned for giving an unfair advatnage. Seriously stevo, this matter went to the American High Court. The original 'square grooved, Beryllium Copper Ping Eye 2+' clubs were given special dispensation on condition that Ping ceased production.

I believe this to be FACT. Lots of tournaments were won with said clubs. Obviously the thinking was that these clubs would die a death as there is no money in it due to sales of the clubs ending at that moment, but they remain to this day, an unparalelled fantastic club.
