Ping rapture driver

By Nachosgrande January 1, in Equipment. Was cleaning out the basement and found my old Ping Rapture driver. Decided to throw it in my bag just for fun and I quickly remembered why I loved that thing so much, ping rapture driver.

The Ping Rapture Driver uses carbon composite and titanium in a powerful and forgiving head designed to be easy to hit, long and high fl ying. The Rapture looks nice too and sounds pure at impact due to acoustic engineering. Pro Verdict: A good looking solid driver which produced impressive stats for me although I still prefer its better and cheaper! G10 sister. Ordered one of these after a fitting in January to replace my G5 Driver of which the face had split just 3 months after purchase Was not happy about that!

But do the premium looks translate to premium performance? Is the Ping Rapture driver still worth it sixteen years later? The Ping Rapture is a composite driver. Nowadays, you sort of see this kind of design in almost all premium drivers. The idea of the composite design was to use an ultra-lightweight material and couple it with a stable material. The desired result is extra speed and distance. I tested the Ping Rapture driver to see if it lives up to its promises and if it is still a good driver overall. The first thing I took account of was the looks. Behind the ball, the Ping Rapture looks very impressive. It has a carbon fiber composite crown panel.

I hit it pretty well but muted didn't even begin to describe it, I used to say it felt like hitting a driver that had a pillow taped ping rapture driver the front of it. Posted January 3, This is a club that somehow manages to look futuristic and traditional at the same time.

The look and feel of the club is very similar to the excellent Ping G5, but that is where the similarities end. Ping have 'maxxed-out' on all the available technologies for the Rapture range and the driver is no exception. Due to the lighter head, the face is more forgiving with a higher launch angle and less spin. Certainly it is very easy to hit and makes a more solid, quieter sound than the all titanium G5 driver. The head design with the titanium lattice below the graphite looks good to us, but after a few hits you don't notice the looks, just the benefits.

Might have been the best sounding modern driver I have played. I regripped,cut too 45,and have tm or mizuno covers,so thats why its modern enough for me. By migolfke Started 11 hours ago. It feels very light and nimble throughout transition and I felt like I could swing it faster than my gamer driver. By Martin Hopley. Only 75 emoji are allowed. The TM Burner. The titanium face creates a solid, crisp sound at impact and gives really good feedback too. Keep in mind that all these lightweight appointments are housed in a cc head. I hope not. But yes. The Ping Rapture is a composite driver. Aidan has become obsessed with becoming a scratch golfer and plays golf on every possible occasion, even in the snow! One of the onlookers even tried to get me to sell him the club on the spot.

The result of this technology means that it is longer, with initial estimates make it around 7 yards longer than the G5. The new Ping Rapture V2 Driver has a cc head which has been manufactured out of titanium and tungsten, while external tungsten weight pads help make it more forgiving and lower the spin rate. I like them both, but I hit the Rapture a little straighter and higher. At address, the Ping Rapture looks very forgiving. G10 sister.

Posted January 2, I then changed to a 9 degree with a stock stiff shaft and gained an average of 20 yards off the tee. Loved that driver.
