Ping G10 Fairway Wood VS Rapture V2 Fairway Wood

Ping G10 Fairway Wood:

Ping G10 Fairway Woods have been popular since the early days. The crown that intersects the sole provides a low profile head, which combines with a shallow face help G10 perform more great. With the intersection of the crown and sole, the Ping engineers reposition mass for a lower center of gravity location by positioning a large weight pad on the sole. The location of the CG allows higher ball speed and reduced spin. The shallower face results in an added forgiveness and consistency. Its low edge and bounce angle effectively lower the CG which promotes the energy transfer.

      Many testers feel that the wood gets the ball off the turf just as easily but with a way more boring trajectory. Although it may look closed to some, it hits dead straight for them, so do not base opinions based on how it looks at address. They think the stock TFC 129f shaft is suitable for this wood.

Ping Rapture V2 Fairway wood:

The Ping Rapture V2 has done well to follow G10’s design lead. With a shallower face it sits much better behind the ball, inspiring confidence off the ground. With the enlarged multi-material head, 17-4 SS head with Tungsten Alloy Sole, thin crown design technology, thin machined variable face with robotic plasma weld and new dual rapture graphic alignment aid, the Ping Rapture V2 fairway wood provide better features than G10.

Compared with G10, some testers hole these opinions that V2 is a little bigger, and produces a stronger more penetrating ball flight and overall sits better at address that G10. Both are great clubs. V2 has a better stock shaft (Mitsubishirayon JavlyFx). It felt really solid. The v2 line is super low spin though so if you don't need serious spin reduction you might want to save a few bucks and go with the G10. But some of them have the opposite opinions that the V2 hit the ball way higher, not lower than the G10 - cost me distance and the G10 4 wood 10 yards farther than the Rapture V2 4 wood when they hit. They do not like the green color that V2 provides because it is uncomfortable to line up.

If you want to know which one is better for you, you’d better have a try with them by yourself. I believe you can get the right one.
