Hot off the presses is the Ping Rapture V2 Driver which is a smart and aggressive addition to the renowned Ping family. It is the best driver for today's top players that want golf clubs with which they can make a high launching ball off the tee with low spin.

The Ping Rapture V2 driver represents the culmination of Ping's development of multi-metal technology that combines the key properties of the materials to maximize the performance of the club.

The Rapture V2's 460 cc head combines a titanium body with external tungsten weight pads that are located at the back of these golf clubs, near the heel and toe. The weight pads position the centre of gravity to allow the Ping Rapture V2 to deliver a lower spin and high launch angle together with a higher MOI that improves both distance and accuracy.

The head is plasma-welded and its taller face has been machined to variable thicknesses to promote increased ball speed and is styled with an aggressively tapered crown featuring the Double-Rapture alignment aid.

The Ping Rapture V2 driver was a simple 10.5 degree regular shaft model but for those closely suited to the specs they raved about how fast the ball left the driver face and how penetrating the ball flight was. Off-centre hits are also well-catered for and our guys struggled to hit any truly awful drives.

They are sharp looking golf clubs with a compact head capable of getting the ball up...quickly. The Ping Rapture V2 driver is clearly one of the best on the market.
