My husband has played a set of Ping Zing irons for years now. I always used to ask him if he wanted a newer set of irons. Now I know why he does not. I really recommend ping products. I found a set of Ping Zing 2 gold dot irons with graphite shafts on e-bay for a steal (thought I would see what was so great) They were 2 inches short of mens's length, which were perfect for me at 5'0" tall. Put new grips on them, and I love them. My iron game has really improved since playing the Zing 2's. They feel so good when you hit them. The ball flight is high, and they land soft on the greens. If you are looking for an easy, forgiving set of irons- these are the irons for you. I see that the Zing 2's are a little different in appearance than the Zing's, but I expect that they feel and hit very similar. I have not hit any of they newer Ping irons, like the rapture or G10's but, for the price, you can't go wrong with the older models. You should be able to purchase a set on e-bay for less than 200 dollars. We just picked up a set for my husband's brother-in- law for 180. He hit my husband's and liked them so much, that he wanted me to find him a set. I also just bought a set of ping i3 o-size with lite steel a- flex shafts that I haven't got the chance to take out on the course yet. (not sure why, I love my Zing 2's, but I'm a bit of a club collector) I figure I'll save the other set for my son to use when he gets a bit older. I also added 15-20 yards to my drive going with the G5 driver. Like I said before, I REALLY recommend Ping products.Read full review
I've been playing with my Ping Zing irons for a couple of months now and my game has improved tremendously. These irons square up so easily and allow for outstanding accuracy even on mishit. I had new grips put on them and I'm looking forward to playing a lot of golf. Many years ago I always wanted some pings but could not afford them, but I bought these on E-Bay for around $200. My confidence in approaching any shot is always positive, knowing that I can deliver the ball where i want to. I also purchased Cobra LD M Speed driver and woods, which just intimidate the guys I play with because of the sound and distance. E-bay does a good job of advertising and describing the products, so I do a comparison with the new expensive stuff and E-bay makes better sense for me and my game, plus my wife does'nt fuss as much about spending so much money.

I played for many years with Haig-Ultras, Wilson Staffs and the original Ping Eye's. Started making my own clubs and it quickly became a hobby and I've assembled numerous sets of clubs for family and friends. I thought I had made the perfect set of clubs with the Golfsmith Tour Cavities with the X-90 firm shafts. I was wrong. I traded a new set of irons to a friend for a used set of Zings (Black dot-standard length-ZZ65 stiff shafts). For years I played to a 5-6 handicap but now I only play about once a month and the HC has steadily risen to 14-15. I put these clubs in my bag and have played 6 rounds so far, ranging from 78-87. They allow me to make a smooth pass at the ball without having to come out of my shoes to achieve distance. At my age (57)I had started loosing distance and accuracy. I hit these babies right on the mark with little effort. After a couple of rounds my confidence was back and I started shooting for the pins. Hence the 78. First time I've broke 80 in over 10 years. I'll never switch clubs again. I may have to go to a different shaft eventually, but I won't switch. All the new technology and high caliber price associated with it will never replace the feeling of a purely struck golf ball and the ZINGS deliver that feeling.Read full review
I used to hit nothing but Hogan Blades until my wife bought me a set of Ping Zing irons (3-PW) in Jan. 2006 and I have never regretted the switch to those clunky things since. The degree of loft on original Ping models is a little higher standard irons today but they are still the longest irons I've ever owned. The amazing thing about my irons when purchased was that they had been completely refurbished. I have since purchase matching SW, LW, and 2-iron. In the market for the 1-iron with stiff JZ-cushion shaft. The additional clubs are a little different than my original set and here is why: It is IMPORTANT for new buyers to realize that these irons are 15+ years and older. Any claims to irons never being hit most likely is a farce. If seller has this stated make sure they have pictures of the grooves. The BOTTOM 2 GROOVES on the club face are supposed to be completely white and the club heads should NOT have a smooth glossy look to them. When I received mine irons they had a rough texture to them. Old Ping irons get a glossy smooth texture are being played with for a while. Believe me my Zings are wearing down a little now and they are getting the look of the used Ping irons you see is golf shops. SMOOTH, GLOSSY, AND SHINY MEANS OLD, HIT, and DEFINITELY USED. If you would like to see a comparison between my USED irons that haven't been refurbished and the Refurbished Zings email me and I will most definitely send you some pics. email: gmw062706@hotmail.com Take care and Good Luck with finding a set of these incredible irons.Read full review
For years, I've been a "Ping" iron player. Last year decided to treat myself to new technology and got a set of Taylors. First wasn't all that bad and knew there were adjustments to be made. I just couldn't find the right feel and/or tempo. Threaten to make that jump back to "Pings" only if I would find a great deal. Wow, and did I ever. Made one adjustment to re-grip the whole set. Took them out last Sunday. Don't have to make any adjustments to swing and let the clubs for me. And being the set is Beryllium Copper is a bonus. Glad I didn't hesitate.
