Ping Rapture V2 - Free Delivery £249 new AmericanGolf UK |
The Ping Rapture V2 is the sequel to the highly successful and original Rapture that was launched in 2006. It is part of Ping’s 2009 line up of clubs and sits alongside the new Ping G10 golf driver. The new Rapture V2 is marketed as a high launching, low spin driver with maximum forgiveness – and it delivers just that.
The company has kept the slightly elongated club head shape of the original Rapture but the head is slight longer back to front. The Rapture V2 also has a new color scheme with bright lime green on the shaft and the soleplate – some love it but most think it is a little much for the mostly conservative golf club fashionists.
The previous Rapture had a composite graphite and titanium head. However, this has been replaced in the Rapture V2 with a all titanium, lightweight 460cc head with external tungsten weight pads. These weight pads place the centre of gravity low and away from the face to deliver lower spin and a high launch angle for improved distance and accuracy.
The taller face is precisely machined and plasma-welded to produce variable thicknesses. This leads to higher ball speeds for greater distance and increased MOI of around 6 percent for fantastic forgiveness on off-center hits. The height of the clubface and longer club head, gives the Rapture V2 a much larger sweet spot for tremendous ball speed on impact. The sound off the tee is powerful and solid on impact.
The loft is 9.0, 10.5, 12.0 and 13.5 degrees. The length is 45.75 inches. The shaft is a the premium Ping TFC 939D and the flex ranges from Soft R, Regular, Stiff to X-Stiff.
What the Company Says:
"Rapture V2 is a prime example of the advantages of combining materials to achieve a specific result. In this case, we wanted to produce a slightly different profile while optimizing launch and spin. The elongated shape allows us to position tungsten weight pads for reduced spin and a similar launch angle to the original Rapture." - Tony Serrano, Senior Design Engineer.
What Others Are Saying:
“Even into a breeze the Rapture V2 produced high-flying, long drives. We felt the lime green alignment aid was more distracting than necessary, but this did not take away from the high levels of forgiveness on offer.” – Golf Monthly
"The club looks great, sets up nicely and has good balance. It gives me the right kind of feedback, and the ball carries a long way." – Golf Digest
"Superb feel and performance from this no frills driver." – Today’s Golfer
