Ping Rapture V2 Irons Review

The Ping Anser Forged Irons are the latest golf clubs that Ping Company has produced, and most people like to play with them very much. But today I want to talk something about the Ping Rapture V2 Irons. They are a game improvement club, primarily designed and made for the mid to high handicap golfer. It has 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. While they perhaps may not be the nicest looking golf clubs ever made.
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.
Graphite and steel shaft options are available, with the models we put into practice being fitted with AWT steel shafts in stiff flex.More information on the shafts available, and the specifications for the Rapture V2 Irons can be found at the Ping Golf website. Along with not sporting the best looking graphics ever, the clubs are admittedly a bit big and chunky looking at address aswell, which can be a tad off putting to some players.
These are very hot-faced irons, and if you’re currently playing a set of irons any older than 5/7 years, these discount golf gifts will gain you an easy club length through both the hotter face and stronger lofts. I found them to be the equal of my TaylorMade R7 XD’s, but my TaylorMades have custom shafts vs. the off the rack variety here. These are definitely a long, and quite possibly the longest set of irons around. I give them an easy 5 stars in this department. My only word of warning is to those of you who have never hit a titanium wedge before.
The bounce on the Rapture V2 irons is quite pronounced, especially in the more lofted clubs, although this is a common feature of super game improvement irons because they tend to have wider soles to make getting the ball up in the air easier. The 9 iron sports 9 degrees of bounce and the PW has 10 degrees and the gap wedge has 11 degree. The SW has 12 degrees, which is great for getting out of the sand, but the lob wedge also has 12 degrees of bounce which might make hitting off of tight lies a little tricky .


The Ping Rapture V2 Irons are some of the best game improvement irons you need to put it into your retail golf bags. If you are sick of missing greens or facing those monster birdie putts, the Rapture V2 irons will quickly solve that problem.
