| New! PING Rapture V2 460cc Driver! |
Our goal is to optimize ball speed, spin rate and launch angle through engineering and
custom fitting. In the Rapture V2 driver, we combined titanium with external tungsten weight
pads to create a lower spinning, high launching driver with the high MOI and distance
expected from a PING driver.
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.
External tungsten weights
Discretionary weight savings from the crown and face structure is allocated in the form of two
tungsten weight pads positioned in the back of the driver near the heel and toe to optimize
the CG location for lower spin and high launch.
Thin crown design
Finite element analysis (FEA) revealed low stress areas in the crown which freed mass to be
positioned lower in the club head to increase the moment-of-inertia and optimize the center
of gravity (CG) location.
Patented variable thickness face:
The thin, variable thickness face is precision machined to produce high ball speeds for
added distance and forgiveness across the entire club face.
Tapered crown design:
An aggressively tapered crown allows for a taller face and helps push the center of gravity
(CG) lower and farther back to reduce spin. The tungsten weight pads are positioned low
and near the heel and toe to ensure proper head rotation.
Confidence-inspiring head profile:
The taller face and tapered crown design produce a slightly elongated 460cc head with a
higher moment-of-inertia (MOI).
