Review on Ping Rapture V2 Series

Ping engineers have captured the hot face of the G10 and the solid sound and feel of the original Rapture and put it into the V2 package.By expanding the height of the face and elongating clubhead dimensions, Ping has enlarged the sweet spot on the clubface and provided a very hot face, providing tremendous ball velocity regardless of player skill level. All of them are cheap golf equipment.

Ping Rapture V2 Driver

The first noticeable difference from the original Rapture driver is the racy lime green color on the shaft and the soleplate. But the changes aren't merely cosmetic. In what Hollywood might call a plot twist, 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.

Ping says:

"Tungsten sole plate (61 grams, 34-percent of head's mass) optimizes CG for higher launch, lower spin. Larger, shallow head profile for added forgiveness and performance from all conditions. Plasma-welded, machined, variable face thickness for added distance. Double-Rapture alignment aid on crown."

This is almost exactly what my plan was. I was going to get 6-PW/SW, as I have hybrid 3,4 and 5 that I really like. According to the golf shop I spoke to yesterday, its not different in price if i order the clubs individually vs ordering the set. The clubs are priced the same no matter what. This makes them pretty affordabel, as I wond have a 3,4 or 5 iron just sitting around. If I want I can order them later as well.

In my opinion, I think that you should go with the Ping Rapture V2 Series. The Raptures, from what I tried, are a very good club. In fact, I know of a guy who switched to Raptures's, and he's near a 5 or so handicap.

We have found many junior clubs were just basically adult clubs cut down to length with very little thought being given to grip thickness and flex of individual shafts. The PGA Kids Range includes three length options all featuring varying flexes and grip sizes and we are confident these clubs will undoubtedly help young golfers develop their full potential.
