Colossal Forgiveness Ping Rapture V2 Driver Review

 

The Ping Rapture V2 driver is designed to offer the golfer an excellent blend of distance along with great control and workability. Throughout the Rapture V2 range tungsten is strategically placed to improve performance. The driver has a titanium body with weights located near the heel and toe to reduce spin and produce longer drives. Variable face thickness increases forgiveness on mis-hits.

 

The Ping Rapture V2 driver represents the culmination of Ping's development of multi-metal technology that combines the key properties of the materials to maximise the performance of the club. The Rapture V2's 460 cc head combines a titanium body with external tungsten weight pads that are located at the back of the club, near the heel and toe. The weight pads position the centre of gravity to allow the Ping Rapture V2 to deliver a lower spin and high launch angle together with a higher MOI that improves both distance and accuracy. The head is plasma-welded and it's taller face has been machined to variable thicknesses to promote increased ball speed and is styled with an aggressively tapered crown featuring the Double-Rapture alignment aid.

 

All in all, 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. The Ping Rapture V2 driver can provide you the ultimate forgiveness but without loss of much distance and accuracy. The price of this driver is still a bit steep, I suggest go search online for discount golf prices for many online shops during this season are offering real good bargains.
