Ping Rapture V2, Armed For Power

  I’ve been asked many times how I can at 1.75m and 70kg hit the ball as far, if not further than guys bigger than me. I have been clocked at a swing speed of 132 mph and have a personal best of 342 yards.

The long ball is sexy. It is something that many strive for but few attain. First, I want to thank resident Golf Guru, Paul Smith for extending this opportunity to share on long driving.

  This article assumes that readers have faithfully followed the articles in this series. I will assume that you have a flat left wrist, have lagged and your PING Rapture V2 Driver shaft is on plane. If you lack any of these and are not even sure what they are, please drop the Guru an email and he will sort you out.

  The main thesis of this theory is that the big muscles should control and power the swing.

  Consider this – Do you reach for a cup of coffee while pondering how high to raise your deltoids – even though they are raised as your hands reach for the coffee?

  However, when you reach for the cup of coffee with your hands your body does move in response to what your hands are doing. Your hands are the most sensitive extremities in your body. Why shouldn’t you use them in your golf as you do in daily living?

  Research has shown that the body only contributes 10% of power to the golf swing, whereas the speed of the hands and their actions contribute 90% of power. Further “transferring” your weight from the back foot to the front foot creates only 2mph of body speed – which only increases PING Rapture V2 Driver head speed if your timing is inch perfect.

                                 

  The physics formulas involved show that the work necessary to propel the PING Rapture V2 Driver head from 80 mph to 110 mph will be doubled. Which is why the 10% speed that the body supplies cannot add much clubhead speeds.

                                

  I’ve absolutely no doubt that many will read this and misconstrue what I say to the effect of: “He says to just use the hands and not the body.” An emphatic no – I said use the hands and the body will follow with all its might.

  I’ve had the privilege of speaking with high level hockey, tennis and softball coaches. Never do they teach their players to “use the body”; instead the emphasis is always on the hands and to move them faster.

Rapture V2 Irons Provide Maximum Distance

The Ping Rapture V2 Irons released in 2008 are a game improvement club, primarily designed and made for the mid to high handicap golfer. The Rapture V2 Irons are meant to make the game of golf as easy as possible.

The ping v2 rapture irons have been an incredible success story in the super game improvement iron category for a couple years now. For 2009, Ping outdid themselves with the new Rapture V2 irons. Building on the solid foundation of the original Rapture irons, the V2s offer even more forgiveness and feel in a smart looking package.

The Ping Rapture V2 Irons result from Ping's investment in multi-metal technology that combines the key properties of various materials to deliver a club that produces an optimal performance. The Ping Rapture V2 Iron is made up or a tungsten sole weight, a titanium face and a stainless steel body to allow for an innovative game improvement design.

The Ping Rapture V2 irons leverage the multi-metal technology to not only launch the ball longer, but also higher and with more accuracy. Now you can hit those soaring iron approach shots that go high and long and yet land softly on the green. If you are sick of missing greens or facing those monster birdie putts, the Rapture V2 irons will quickly solve that problem.

The ping rapture v2 irons for sale have a dense tungsten sole weight which positions the center of gravity low and away from the face. This extreme toe weigthing optimizes the launch angle and provides for a consitently high yet penetrating trajectory. All this innovation is only made possible by the lightweight titanium face insert that allows more weight to be shifted out to the bottom and perimeter areas of the clubface. All this means better iron shots that are much easier to hit.

Most super game improvement irons are designed to help amatuer golfers get the ball up in the air - a common problem with high handicappers, but something that most recreational golfers can use help with. The Ping Rapture V2s do such a great job of making it easy to hit the ball up in the air with a steep launch angle and a high flying trajectory that the lofts on these golf irons are stronger than you would find on a standard golf iron set. This means golfers can generate greater distance with each iron without sacrificing control.

Highly Forgiving Rapture V2 Irons

The Ping Rapture V2 Irons are with maximum forgiveness and most distance that is designed for golfers who seek max-game-improvement technology.

The ping v2 rapture irons own multi-metal technology allows us to create an iron that launches higher, straighter shots. The density of the tungsten sole weight to position the center of gravity low and farther back, while the lightweight titanium face increases ball speed. This design lets all player types hit longer shots with maximum forgiveness. At address the game-improvement design features disappear.

Ping Rapture V2 Black 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 Black Dot Irons. He said: “It is easy to control the ball with these irons.”
