I agree with the ping eye 2 comments. A new version with a slightly different look perhaps this time with a ferrule for a cleaner look would probably be another great club that would appeal to those that remember them and to those who never had the chance. I’ve gone through hundreds of clubs in my time but letting those go was one of my biggest regrets. I had 1-SW beryllium copper model and remember exactly the price. $747 back in the mid eighties. Could still be a very playable club today

Hogan blades, sonar tech hybrids. Definitely go to clubs back in the day.

The Ping Eye 2+ is the only iron I can hit all the way to the 1 iron. I wish they would make it again with a more modern head, but with the same offset, heel and toe relief, and swingweight.

      Agree, there is not one 15 and above handicapper that could possibly play a better club to this day…Ping has messed around long enough, they had the first and best forgiving irons and need to give up and make them again…would not hurt to cast them in this Country too.

        Ping will make any of their old irons for you or a least they used too. Had a set of karsten I’s and I gave them my serial number and they made me a 1iron and lw to match my set. Should vé kept those too. Sigh

    PING, toss out all the badge BS the added colors and just get the old castings and start re-making the best game improvement iron anyone could ever need…Ok replace the square groves, there updated…sell for $799 and you take back the iron market…

A putter that I love and hate – Club Junkie Podcast

In this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we dive into one of the most interesting flatstick releases of the year with a full review of the new TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters. After spending time on the greens, I break down what makes this design stand out, where it performs, and why it has me completely torn between loving it and fighting it. If you are into feel, alignment, and consistency, this is one you will want to hear about.

We also take a look at some of the putters in play on the PGA Tour last week. From familiar favorites to a few surprising setups, there is always something to learn from what the best players in the world are rolling with under pressure.

To wrap things up, I walk through the process of building a set of JP Golf Prime irons paired with Baddazz Gold Series shafts. From component selection to performance goals, this is a deep dive into what goes into creating a unique custom set and why this combo has been so intriguing.

I break down my first top 10 zero-torque putter rankings for 2026. From the biggest names in the category to a few under-the-radar surprises, I dive into what makes each of these putters stand out and how they performed. I have used every one of these putters on the list, both in practice and on the course.

Talk about feel, consistency, forgiveness, and of course, whether zero-torque technology actually delivers on its promise to help you start more putts on line. If you have been curious about making the switch or just want to know which models are leading the pack this year, this episode has you covered.

Did your favorite putter make the list?
