What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the Zing is 34.5° and the Zing 2 is 34.5°, identical at the club most golfers compare on, although other clubs in the sets differ. Across the 12 clubs both sets share, the Zing 2 averages 0.3° weaker, with the largest gap at the LW (57° vs 61°).
The sets are built differently: the Zing runs 1-iron to LW (12 clubs), the Zing 2 1-iron to LW (13 clubs).
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
Both heads are listed as investment cast. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
The Zing 2 arrived 2 years after the Zing, a typical one-generation refresh. Changes over that span are usually incremental: refined face thickness, revised weighting, updated looks and small loft tweaks rather than a new concept.
Which should you choose?
The Zing 2 is the weaker-lofted set — up to 4° weaker than the Zing. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
