PING Mens Rapture V2 Drivers
Pros: Looks, sound, distance and forgiveness
Cons: Pricey
Bottom Line: This driver is one of the best. Instills confidence and looks, feels and sound perfect. More forgiving than the G10 we found this head to be the best driver in the ping offering for 2009.

Product Description
The mass properties of tungsten and titanium are optimized in the Rapture® V2™ Driver to create a high launching, lower spinning driver that delivers the performance expected from a multi-metal design. The visible, dense tungsten weight pads in the back of the lightweight titanium head expand the perimeter weighting and position the center-of-gravity low and away from the face.
The 460cc head is slightly elongated by extending the face height and aggressively sloping the crown. The thin face is precisely machined and plasma-welded to deliver higher ball speeds for greater distance.
Slightly elongated shaped 460cc multi-material head
Slightly elongated head profile produces a driver with a higher moment of inertia resulting in straighter drives on off-center hits. The increased "footprint" also inspires more confidence over every drive.
Titanium head with external tungsten weight pads
PING engineers have utilized a titanium body and tungsten perimeter weighting to optimize the cneter of gravity location to create a high launch angle and low spin rate as well as increase the moemtn of inertia resulting in longer and straighter drives.
Thin crown design technology
Low stress areas are "thinned" resulting in additional discretionary weight that is redistributed into the tungsten perimeter weighting helping to optimize launch and spin along with increasing the moment of inertia
Head designed for powerful sound
The multi-material head design is fine tuned using finite element analysis (FEA). FEA is a tool that helps PING engineers optimize the head design in a virtual environment for performance, durability, feel and sound. The finished result is a driver with powerfrul performance and sound.
Thin, machined variable face with robotic plasma weld
Precisely machined, thin variable-thickness face leads to exceptional performance including higher ball speed. The Robotic Plasma Weld improves durability and saves weight, which is redistributed in the external tungsten weight pads.
New dual Rapture graphic alignment aid
New, visually appealing alignment aid will inspire additional confidence in your game by making sure you are aligned squarely to your target every time.
