Someone should write an article on the Ping Eye 2 irons. They are notable because they were the first perimeter-weighted clubs (commonly referred to as 'forgiving' clubs or 'cavity-backs') to hit the market. As stated on Ping's website:
"The deep cavity allowed weight to be distributed around the outside of the head - resulting in a high moment of inertia (MOI). In simple terms, it meant the clubhead resisted twisting at impact on off-centre hits - so it was - and remains - very forgiving. Still highly useable, Ping Eye 2 irons are without doubt the most popular irons in the history of the game. So enduring is their appeal, they are still available to buy new from Ping as a special order."

I could be wrong here, but wasn't Ping the first to engrave serial numbers on the nozzle for anti theft purposes and to facilitate easy club replacement?
I hope someone with a good understanding of golf technology can contribute.
