The Ping Rapture irons are wide-soled, perimeter weighted and rely on strategic use of titanium, stainless steel and tungsten to create a high-performance, multi-material iron. Careful analysis and application of each material yields forgiveness and trajectory improvements while creating a face and cavity design that produces a solid, pleasing feel and sound. The wide sole of the Ping Rapture Irons is created by an undercut cavity design positions the centre of gravity lower and further back to improve launch angles for higher, lower spinning shots that resist ballooning and land softly. The lightweight titanium face allows 25 grams of weight to be re-distributed in the form of tungsten and stainless steel to the perimeter of the club head. Twenty of the grams are found in the high-density tungsten toe weight which aids in squaring the face at impact for accuracy and consistency. The Ping Rapture titanium face and Custom Tuning Port (CTP) and an elastomer CTP Insert stabilize the face for a solid feel and sound.
The Ping Rapture irons looked great and performed very well. All through the set, each club was very forgiving and easy to hit. The feel however was not as good as it could be, although it was not bad by any means. It was just that for all the technology that has gone into the multi-material heads and the price that you have to pay for them, the 'return' does not seem to be there. Sorry Ping, lovely clubs, but...
