Ping Rapture Driver Summary:
Okay, I've been a beginner for more years than I care to admit. I've been using el-cheapo clubs until this past summer, and frankly I didn't know what I was missing. After a new set of irons I tried a few drivers and bought this one for $199. I think it's last year's model, but who cares? For the first time ever, I'm hitting straight, long, high (I bought the 12-degree model), and consistent. Well, sometimes consistent.
To all the other beginners and duffers out there -- there's a BIG difference in these new, comically large drivers. The difference is they make you a better golfer. Well worth the price even to a cheapskate like me. The Ping Rapture looks nice, too, but the head cover is so ugly and big I leave it at home.
Made in USA, but some of the parts are imported. Customer Service:

ping rapture Summary:
For those of you that are considering purchasing a Rapture driver I would suggest that you keep looking. I'm fairly certain that there must be something better out there.
For those of you that already own a Rapture are you guys all nuts? Obviously you do not play any competitive golf otherwise you would keep your advantage to yourself. I believe we must take steps to keep this driver out of the spotlight. Throw out that headcover and find one from a competitor that fits . Make it as unattractive as possible--a little coarse sandpaper should do the trick.
I came across the Rapture by accident, won a G10 in a tournament, before using it I tested it and other demo's on the course during a quiet period by hitting about thirty balls (all Pro V's)with each and found no increase in distance or accuracy over my Mizuno 560 . tested Cleveland, Taylor Made and Cobra as well as the G10. Have done the same test with numerous drivers in the past couple of years in an effort to increase my distance a little--have done this test since I had a fitting session with Taylor
Made for an RX7 and lost 10 yds.
The test told me the G10 was not an upgrade so I returned to the tournament course to exchange. Have Rapture irons so
I went with a used Rapture driver with a Mitsubishi shaft. Have not had a chance to do my test but after three rounds at my home course and hitting the ball a bit farther in 4-9c temperatures I cant wait for next spring to arrive.
Now you guys do your part keep quiet about this gem, I need all the advantage I can get. Customer Service:

PING Rapture Summary:
Since I use Rapture irons, hybrids and fairway metals, I recently decided to trade-in my Taylormade R7 to get the PING Rapture driver. I find it well balanced and that it naturally promotes a nice draw. I like a 12-degree loft, which is unusual, but the trajectory is perfect. I'm average length off the tee, but very accurate with this club at 260 to 265 yards with roughly a 240 yard carry.

Ping Rapture Summary:
Bought a set of Taylor Made r7's and the guy I bought them from threw in this Rapture driver.
I was hitting 200-220 yards, with a terrible slice every other tee shot.
I didn't get a chance to hit this baby at the driving range, as i was late to the course for our tee time.
The course i was at the first hole is a slight dog-leg left and since I'm left handed I have hit countless balls into the ravine on the particular hole.
I have never used a 460cc driver whatsoever and this was the first time I had ever hit one in my life.
I tee'd up, had a fairly good swing and crushed the ball 275 yards, dead straight, cutting a little bit of the trees and was a hundred yards from the pin.
I could not stop laughing.. I still can't. The next few holes i played were the same result, this club completely eliminated my slice, too the point where i cant help but think my last driver was the biggest piece of sh*t. I am absolutely in love with this Driver. Would recommend to my Mom/dad/brother/cat/dog.. anyone.

Ping Rapture Summary:
I am a 14 year old who is deciding to play golf for high school next year. I played an old set with a nice 2008 Taylormade Burner driver. I hit my driver around 160 with a consistent slice. I accidently snapped my club's shaft soo i bought a new one. I was on a under 200$ budget. I tested out the Ping Rapture and I hit it consistently 180-190. I have been playing with it since. I went from 100s to scoring in the mid 90's
