Description The wide-soled, perimeter weighted
Rapture Iron relies on strategic use of titanium, 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.
Summary: Have played these for one season and love them. Although a game improvement iron, they dont look like a shovel and are surprisingly easy to fade and draw (certainly disagree with previous reviewers on this issue). Very easy to hit with good distance control. The Titanium face should last forever. My wife should probably never let me buy a new set.
Customer Service: Never needed it but hear good things

Summary: Excellent clubs, long and straight. Hard to work draws and fades but it doesnt matter to me too much. Improved my game hugely. Highly Recommended!
Dude, they're game improvement irons. Of course you can't work them. They're meant for hacks who can't work the ball.

Summary: j ust had the pleasure of using the rapture not quite sure yet. mi self g10 driver is more forgiving. Playing off 25 not the best handy cap but i can hit a ball well with the driver. The rapture is probably the best driver i have hit but no room for errors although been left handed using the the g 10 i had a bad slice the rapture for some reason has seemed to have cured all that.All i can say is if you are thinking of getting one persevere with it its a good driver.

Summary: I'm in my late 50's and my iron play has steadily deteriorated over the last five years. The shanks arrived and departed on a continuing basis. I dealt with this by going to a complete hybrid set configuration. In addition to the attendant humiliation, I was having no fun. I then compromised, employing F2 (face forward) irons, 6,7,8,9,P, 52, and 56. The remaining irons were hybrids.
This was slightly less humiliating and only a little more enjoyable.
Two weeks ago I purchased a used set of Ping Raptures, 4 thru U, and my game has been reborn. The entire set has worked its way into my bag (Sun Mountain C-130), with only 17 and 20 degree Mactec NVG2 hybrids remaining. In fact, I just added the Rapture S wedge. No hint of the shanks. I went out today and walked 9 with a push cart and shot a legit 37 (white tees).
If your requirements include predictable contact, shot shape, and distance these are for you. They are the kings of the super game improvement categaory.

Summary: I bought these new and had them fitted to me with the intention that these would be the last set that I ever own. They are great clubs for sure.
I always had trouble setting them up though and that was something that I never got used to. Also, I developed a draw that I attribute to the off-set.
Over the last 2 seasons my iron game slowly eroded to the point where I couldn't hit a green and I attribute that to these Irons, their set-up and the lack of feedback encouraging poor swing mechanics.
After selling them, I bought some blades and immediately got my old game back.
Definitely for the game-improvement player, but I wouldn't recommend them for good golfers.
Customer Service: Awesome
