What's the latest on the Ping Eye 2 club controversy?

Question

The golf club is 20 years old, but players have been using it because it offers more spin than the clubs that are legal this season - use of the Ping doesn't technically break this season's rules, because of a legal ruling from 1991 that takes precedence. Understandably, there's been some anger over the confusion. What's the latest?

Answer 1

Jim Hyler, president of the USGA, the governing body responsible for controlling all golf and its rules in the USA and Mexico released the following statement yesterday: "We met with representatives from Ping yesterday and our conversation with them regarding the status of the Ping Eye 2 irons on the major professional American tours was productive, and we are hopeful that a solution can be found that respects and reflects the best interests of golfers and the game."
No solution yet then!
