1743.0. "Cost of Pings ?" by FAILTE::OLIVERS () Mon Jul 19 1993 10:47

    
    I'm going to Phoenix in September and I would like to bring back a set
    af either Ping Eye 2's or Ping Zings.  Could anyone give me an idea
    how much I would expect to pay for a set af irons, 3-SW, either new or
    second hand ?.  Does anyone use these irons and how do you find them ?.
    
    				Many Thanks, Stevie.

    I got a set there 2 years ago (3-SW) for $550.00. It was from a local
    Pro Shop, you can't buy them direct from Karsten's.
    
    cheers,
    
1743.2lots of Eye 2's & good golfATPS::MILLERFri Jul 23 1993 14:3015
    
    	Was just out there this past week.  Lots of EYE 2's used in
    	shops for about $300-350.  Lots of ads in the newpapers for
    	used sets.  Van's Liquidation Center on N. Scottsdale had
    	2 sets.  I believe a Nevada's Bob's in the Norwest side of
    	town had several - they have about 500 used sets in stock.
    	The Arizona Golf Resort had what appeared to be a new set for
    	$425.
    
    	Have fun shopping.  Play some golf while your there...prices are
    	real reasonable....e.g. Orange Tree $22 plus tax for 18 holes,
    	cart and lunch.  Arizona Golf Resort, $18 for unlimited golf and
    	free lunch(sandwich and soft drink).

Stevie,

I bought a set of ZING's here in the U.K. last September.  
Including a Sun Valley Bag they cost �500 (pounds sterling).  
Best buy I ever made.  The long irons are a dream to hit.

Go get 'em.

1743.4Zing and Bertha info neededPEKING::ANTELLJTue Jul 27 1993 08:5615
    I have a set of Eye 2,s , i am very interested to hear how good the
    Zings are.
    Are they much better than the Eye,s?
    I have been using Pings for 8yrs plus and find them a great club.
    
    Is it worth me doing a P/EX deal for Zings?
    
    Any info from users of Zings v Eyes would be appreciated.
    
    While i am at it is anyone using the Callaway Big Bertha, i tried
    a friends of mine thought it looked awfull, hit it a few times 
    i was well impressed a very good peice of equipment, but
    at 200.00 Pounds a club a bit steep.

    Stevie,
    
      I live in Tempe, a suburb of Phoenix. There are, as some of
    the previous replies have indicated, tons of used ping clubs
    here in the greater Phoenix area. I have found that some of 
    the best prices are to be found at the municipal courses. But
    there are always sets in the paper at various prices. So if time
    is available, look around before buying. One plug of course, 
    Ken McDonald Golf Course here in Tempe is very competitive.
    
    regards,
    
    Dave
