Welcome back, fellow Golf Spies, to another edition of History’s Mysteries. This week, our traipse back in time delves into the real story of the best-selling iron in golf history, the PING Eye 2.

Conventional wisdom says the PING Eye 2 was a revolutionary breakthrough in golf club design. Karsten Solheim, many say, cracked the forgiveness code when the PING Eye 2 hit the streets in 1982. Further, the pundits say Karsten revolutionized iron spin when he invented square, or U-shaped, grooves. What’s more, those grooves were such a competitive advantage that both the USGA and the PGA TOUR banned the Eye 2 for spinning the ball too much.

Friends, none of that conventional wisdom is true.

The PING Eye 2 was simply the culmination of two decades worth of research, development and good old-fashioned innovative engineering. The fact that it became the top-selling iron in golf history, not to mention a legendary icon, is simply the result of a perfect storm.

So let’s fire up the Hot Tub Time Machine and set a course for 1961. That’s when the PING Eye 2 story really begins.
