The Ping Rapture V2 Driver is an acceptable game-improvement club that promotes accuracy and acceptable distance. But it isn't a "player's" club. At $399 retail (2009), the V2 is perfect for slow swing speeds, offering comfort for those struggling with control. Advanced players will need to re-shaft to avoid stock distance sacrifices.
The Rapture V2 driver Is a Sequel That Deserves Top Billing. Whoever said that a sequel never lives up to the original hasn't hit the Ping Rapture V2 driver. This addition - part of Ping's 2009 lineup - to the Ping line of clubs comes on the heels of the company's tremendously successful introduction in Fall 2007 of the G10 and Rapture lines.
While the Rapture V2 is comfortable with the ability to help most players keep the ball in the fairway, it has the tendency of producing high, lofty shots, resulting in loss of distance. While the 9.5-degree club with minimal torque does produce lower shots, the ball gets up a bit quicker than desired. An 8.5-degree offering would serve this line better.
