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.”

PING Rapture V2 Driver Review

    Started with putters, technology-leading PING launched its new products at its 50^th anniversary with a hope to promote the interest in golf sports to a higher level, and provide products with more advanced technology. Ping Golf make their efforts to decrease the hit amount for golfers. Ping was set in 1959. The creator of Ping, Karsten Solheim, began his golf legend in the garage of his house at Redwood City. Recently, Ping released a series of 2009 products in Arizona including the entirely new Rapture V2 irons and woods, S57 irons and iWi putters.

    The new-generation Rapture V2 series products and iWi-series putter use composite technology and multi-material metal technology. Each new design combines features of various materials to create amazing performance. The all new and common material used in 2009 series products is tungsten metal. From driver to putter, tungsten of different proportion has been adopted in the most proper position of clubhead to promote products to the best. In addition, various specs options are provided. Ping provides unexpected performance through its customization concept. Rapture V2 titanium driver has the thinnest crown Ping has ever produced. This thinnest position is just 0.02 inches, which is thinner than G10 series. Because of the ultra-thin crown of PING Rapture V2 Driver designers were able to redistribute saved weight to adjust the center of gravity. Tungsten weights were embedded into Rapture V2 heel and toe. The company said that it can help produce higher trajectory, and decrease ball spin speed (400-600 per minute). To high-level golfers, higher launch angle and lower spin speed mean more distance. Ping Man, the club test robot of Ping, used this PING Rapture V2 Driver and created its “personal farthest launch record”. Rapture V2 has louder sound which means more strength.
