PING Rapture V2 Review

    This Ping Rapture V2 review is mainly about Ping Rapture driver, fairway wood and irons. I don’t know if you know this Ping line or not, but you’ll not regret if have a try. Now, I’m going to share their technologies and features with you. Ping adopts different technologies for the three-type clubs independently, and at the same time share some common designs. Let’s look at them one by one. For the Ping Rapture V2 Driver, one feature is the External Tungsten Weights. Rapture V2 redirects nearly 20g of discretionary weight from the lightweight crown to rear external pads (made of tungsten) and internal weights along the sole. This pulls the club's center of gravity (CG) lower and more rearward than in the original Rapture. Ping has equipped the V2 with a super lightweight stock 939 shaft in L through X flexes. With a shaft weight of 47 grams and a 45.75-inch finished length, this makes the V2 one of the lightest and longest drivers on the market. Making a cameo in this sequel is the stock upgrade of a Mitsubishi Diamana Blueboard shaft. At 63 grams, this ultra-premium shaft lowers spin and launch for players who want a little beefier shaft than the 939. Ping Rapture V2 fairway wood features Tungsten Sole Plate. Weighting 61g, the tungsten sole plate positions the center of gravity lower and farther back for higher launch and reduced spin. Its shallow face makes the head compact, and able to work out of several different lies from hardpan to medium rough. The shallow face along with the wider sole ensures stability and forgiveness while producing higher trajectory.

    Ping Rapture V2 Irons perfect the Variable Face Thickness (VFT) which increases the ball speed for maximum launch speed at any clubhead speed. This VFT titanium face is machined by a sophisticated computer-aided milling process to fine tune the face for maximum forgiveness and explosion. The titanium face is then plasma-welded to the stainless steel head. Ping Rapture V2 Irons feature Multi-metal Technology which means a tungsten sole weight, titanium face and stainless steel body. The multi-material clubhead offer the best of each element without having to contend with the drawbacks of each. They combine to create a maximum forgiveness that delivers higher launching and longer carrying shots.

PING Rapture V2 Yellow Dot Irons 3-9PS Review

    New product in 2009—PING Rapture V2 irons adopted multi-material for its core part including stainless steel (shaft), titanium (clubface), tungsten (sole increased weight) and synthetic rubber (groove insert). The most outstanding feature of this iron series is its higher launch angle, so Ping designers can create more advantageous face angle. The result is further hitting distance. Ping designer Brad Schweigert said the hitting distance provided by Rapture V2 long irons and medium irons is 7 to 10 yards further than G10 irons. Comparing Rapture V2 irons with G10 irons released before, it seems that most golfers prefer to irons with longer hitting distance. But this is not the fact. With the increased hitting distance, there appears another problem for golfers. That is distance control. So although V2 irons can let ball fly like a rocket, it is hard to say that professional golfers or amateur players of low handicap will choose this V2 with lightweight titanium face. Compared with thicker and heavier steel-made face irons, the irons with thinner and lighter titanium face can provide freer swing but are not good at distance control. So, as the replacement of S58, S57 is mainly aimed to high-level golfers who always need to ensure accurate hitting distance. The chief designer of this product is the champion of earlier PGA tour Mike Nicolette. He adopted classical stainless steel blade design and embedded tungsten insert in toe. According to Ping, S57 has MOI which is 5% higher than S58, which means higher stability, better consistency and higher repeatability. All of these are needed by a excellent iron.

    The new spokesman of Ping Hunter Mahan highly praised these new released irons. He got 62 shots in his first round on Barclays Championship with these new PING Rapture V2 Yellow Dot Irons. He said: “It is easy to control the ball with these irons.”
