j ust had the pleasure of using the rapture not quite sure yet. mi self g10 driver is more forgiving. Playing off 25 not the best handy cap but i can hit a ball well with the driver. The rapture is probably the best driver i have hit but no room for errors although been left handed using the the g 10 i had a bad slice the rapture for some reason has seemed to have cured all that.All i can say is if you are thinking of getting one persevere with it its a good driver.

I'm in my late 50's and my iron play has steadily deteriorated over the last five years. The shanks arrived and departed on a continuing basis. I dealt with this by going to a complete hybrid set configuration. In addition to the attendant humiliation, I was having no fun. I then compromised, employing F2 (face forward) irons, 6,7,8,9,P, 52, and 56. The remaining irons were hybrids.
This was slightly less humiliating and only a little more enjoyable.

Two weeks ago I purchased a used set of Ping Raptures, 4 thru U, and my game has been reborn. The entire set has worked its way into my bag (Sun Mountain C-130), with only 17 and 20 degree Mactec NVG2 hybrids remaining. In fact, I just added the Rapture S wedge. No hint of the shanks. I went out today and walked 9 with a push cart and shot a legit 37 (white tees).

If your requirements include predictable contact, shot shape, and distance these are for you. They are the kings of the super game improvement categaory.

I bought these new and had them fitted to me with the intention that these would be the last set that I ever own. They are great clubs for sure.
I always had trouble setting them up though and that was something that I never got used to. Also, I developed a draw that I attribute to the off-set.
Over the last 2 seasons my iron game slowly eroded to the point where I couldn't hit a green and I attribute that to these Irons, their set-up and the lack of feedback encouraging poor swing mechanics.
After selling them, I bought some blades and immediately got my old game back.
Definitely for the game-improvement player, but I wouldn't recommend them for good golfers.

Awesome

I just came in from hitting balls in the back yard long enough to RAVE about my Ping Rapture irons! After inheriting many sets of clubs from my Dad over the years, I finally decided to get my own set of Top-of-the-Line clubs. I've always liked Ping's but like most, I never could afford them. Now with eBay, I was able to get last year's top-of-the line Rapture's (like NEW) w/ graphite shafts at about 1/2 price of new. I couldn't be happier!! They came upgraded with Golf Pride DD2 Black & Yellow grips, ( which really feel good!). I'm 52 years old, in athletic shape, and I doubt I've hit 50 buckets of balls in all my years. (Less than one per year..). So it's no surprise that I really lacked consistency-I could never deliver the club head to the ball on a regular basis. But now with my new Raptures, it's like I just-can't-miss!! With just a little work on my swing and a little time hitting balls into my net, I've hit more satisfying shots in the past week than I have in my whole life!
Even choking-down with an easy 3/4 swing, it sounds like I'm setting off M-80 firecrackers in my back yard when they hit the back-stop! The only thing I might not be satisfied with is that the Pitching & sand wedge's seem to have so much flange bounce, that it's tough to open the club face and slide the club under without skulling it. I'll be trying out Ping's iWedge and Titleist Volkey wedge's soon to see if that helps.
Otherwise, I couldn't be happier. I'm hitting them a ton!!

Just bought the last set of Raptures at golfers warehouse. These clubs are awesome. They hit the ball extremely high and just as long as any other club i've ever hit. They are very straight with not alot of workability. But if your after workability, you shouldn't be looking at these sticks. I would highly recommend these clubs to mid-high handicappers. Great clubs, great construction but then again what would you expect from Ping. Best part is its made in America.

I was playing at least once a week before.
However, I've been so busy now, and I play only 1 or 2 times a month. So, I decided to change my irons to "Super Game Improvement" model.
Sold i10, bought rapture.
My my my!
So sweet! I cannot shape the ball flight much, but go straight!
Playing golf will be more fan!
Rapture is the best irons I ever own.

If your in the market for accurate and forgiving irons, you need to check these out. They're pricey, but they're in line with Callaway and Taylormade's higher end iron sets. You pay for technology but it can make a difference.

I like that the swingweight(inside emblem)is directly behind the face with the Pings and can be changed to your swingweight preference by Ping.

I could not believe how soft these feel when struck and the consistency I've seen using these for one season. I play the regular flex graphite shafts.

Very forgiving and though they have good mass, they do not feel heavy or chunky like some irons I've hit.

I agree with previous reviewers on laser accuracy, as I have seen this with my irons 7i-Gap into the green. I've also choked down and with a 3/4 quarter swing dialed them in on tough or well protected pin placements with confidence.

I've tried, owned and played many sets over the years, and without a doubt, the most accurate I've played are the Rapture irons. I'm a bogey golfer, sometimes dipping into the eighties, but I've won a fair number of "closest to the pin" playing these in my weekly golf league.

Had been playing Cobra FP Irons with regular flex graphite before these, which were good, but would seem to struggle at times. Probably just me but the club felt light when trying to get through the fringe or rough.

Have liked the quality of Ping's over the years owning Ping Zing2 and Ping I3+, with the I3+ being better, but was having trouble handling steel shafts later on. I'm in my 50's and steel shafts tend to aggravate my golfer's elbow, when playing golf on consecutive days, so I use graphite in my irons. Wedge's I still prefer steel for consistency.

These won't correct terrible swings, but they can reward good swings making them that much better IMHO. Really worth a look if your looking for consistency and forgiveness, and don't play that often like myself.

I just purchased a new set of Ping Rapture irons 2 weeks ago. Went in to get a set of G10's but splurged a little and got the Raptures. Couldn't be happier. I had a set of Ping i3's that were great but these new clubs are far superior and much more forgiving with added heighth and a little more than a club in distance. Take dead aim and make no allowances for bleeders cause these things laser straight. When I hit one off target now I know it was me that was misaligned not the club. I have never been able to hit a SW with any confidence but the Rapture PW,UW, and SW are a absolute joy to go flag hunting with. Get fitted, try them, and you will be impressed as well.

Very nice looking set of irons. At the contact the feel is crisp yet soft and the ball shoots off the face. Offset is tasteful and reassuring. I'm indifferent about the NXT grips-- feels slippery at times. The club is noticeably head heavy. This is one meaty club.

Customer Service

Ping answers emails very quickly. Club repairs charge double than the local professional fitters.
