Bargain Bin - What a find!

[tugglesf239]

Apparently in the olden days, there were mythical clubs that even the pros used to avoid...... (i am only a pup at 35)

Well i saw one today and could not resist the urge. Cost me a fiver

What a beauty!!

Hit about 30 balls with it

Full shots, low punches and tee shots.

Its obscenely long!

Full shots carry about 240 plus and even little low punches are running out past 200.

I did have a tendency to put a high(ish) push shot on it, but its not mega hard to get results with.

So i am putting it in the bag.

No way will i be attempting to hit full blown shots of the fair way. However i think that on a windy day (like most recently) little punch shots will be the order of the day and i might (might) use it from the tee on our par 4 8th (maybe)

Bet its a cracker for escaping from under the trees with too

at a fiver there was no way i could refuse.

Question is

Do i need my head looking at?

:mmm:

Wooden tennis racket........

 

[garyinderry]

jGreat find. What is not to like? my mate lent me a zing 3i and it is so easy to hit.


Really fancy a mint set of ping zing beryllium irons.

 

[MizunoGreyhound]

Loved my old Ping Zing 2's until some bounder knicked them from my car :angry::angry:
Hope you enjoy your bargain.

240 carry, did it come with some magic beans?

Unfortunately not

My enormous muscles did all the hard work (aided by a healthy 20 knot tail wind )

I had a good chat with Karsten Solheim and John Jacobs at the Open back in ~89. Was a golf mad 14 year old at the time. He was a really nice bloke.

Still have a Ping Eye 1&2 iron and they still work when they get let out.

 

[Tongo]

Are you mad?

Nah. I bought a Wilson graphite shaft 5 iron nearly 15 years ago for a tenner and its still my go to club. Its whatever works in this game.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I had a one iron. Not that model but knowing how easy a Ping is to hit I think I'd have done that much more justice than the Wilson butter knife I use to chop with

 

[USER1999]

It's so ugly TheRod will be on here any time soon, wanting to add it to his ugly club selection.

Ugly. Ping. Old.

What's to like?

Functional and Ping are never going to win any beauty pagents

 

[tugglesf239]

Oh agree.

It's an ugly pup and sticks out in a bag made up of forged amp irons, lovely Cleveland hybrids and a stealthy ping driver.

There is also a huge amount of offset at address.

Tell you what though.

It goes like stink.

So it can stay for now.

Can't wait till i play Heysham next weekend.

Hope it's blowing a hooley

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

I want first dibs on it please :thup:

 

[tugglesf239]

I won't be selling.

Worse case scenario is I use it for my putter........

 

[Oddsocks]

The zings were imho just ugly forgiving bats, but if I could find a set of copper eye2 ID snap them up

I'd play with it :thup:

I like a club with charecter!!

I'd be looking for at least 260 carry tho'

 

[Doon frae Troon]

240 yard run I could believe.......carry naw.

 

[CharlieWebb]

An easy to hit 2 iron? Is that not just a low degree hybrid?

 

[CMAC]

I had a Ping Eye 1 iron which was great to hit. I imagine the Ping Eye 2 is even easier.
