Ping Eye Irons

Question
I grew up in Scottsdale and I remember following your golf career starting in high school. I have the chance to purchase some Ping Eye 2 Red Dot irons. What is the difference between the Red, Blue, and Black dot irons?

Answer
Hey Greg:

The only difference is the lie of the club.  Red dot is one degree flat, Black dot is standard.  Blue dot is one degree upright.  The lie of the club refers to how flat the bottom of the club is at impact.  If the toe of the club is too much up in the air at impact, you would tend to hit the ball to the left.  If the heel is too much in the air at impact, you would tend to hit the ball to the right.  The color code is only for the lie of the club, but it is very important because at 150 yards, if the lie of the club is off one degree, your ball is 20 feet offline (no fault of your swing).  So get the clubs because they're good clubs, then take them to PING and have them fit (lied) to you.  It is simply them watching you hit a few balls and making a small adjustment if needed.  No big deal, but you should get them checked for your swing.
