PING has a very good reputation for manufacturing some of the best drivers in the world with leading design for durability, distance and maximum control.

LOFTS

PING drivers are available in a variety of lofts from 7.0 to 13.5 degrees to suit golfers of all abilities and the way they play the game. The greater the amount of loft the higher the ball flight will be. Higher lofts are recommended for average golfers or players with a slower swing speed. Lower lofts will keep the ball lower and allow it to roll further. Lower lofts are best suited to more experienced players and golfers with faster swing speeds.

SHAFTS

Virtually all PING drivers come with graphite shafts, either PING TFC, Aldila or Grafalloy ProLaunch. These shafts offer a range of flex's from soft regular, regular, stiff and extra stiff. Golfers with slower swing speeds will gain distance from using regular flex shafts whilst experienced golfers with faster more powerful swings will gain greater accuracy from the stiff or extra stiff shaft options.

Ping G10

Utilizing finite element analysis and the latest in design software, PING engineers develop metal woods in a virtual world to ensure the highest level of performance before the clubs even reach the first tee. Factors such as moment-of-inertia (MOI), center of gravity (CG) location, crown structure and face thickness are carefully studied with the goal of designing longer, straighter and more consistent metal woods. Even the club's acoustics are analyzed to ensure a powerful sound and feel.

Ping Rapture

The Rapture Driver combines titanium, carbon composite and innovative thinking to create a powerful and forgiving option off the tee. The visual technology of the composite crown design not only attracts attention, it pays off in performance.

The 460cc driver features a visible, web-shaped titanium crown injected with lightweight composite. PING engineers relied on computer optimization models driven by a Cray Supercomputer to analyze the crown to ensure structural integrity and performance. Acoustical engineering was also heavily employed to produce a solid, powerful sound.

I have tried the Ping Rapture and found it to be a very good club, it feels light to swing and produced long straight hits, the model I tried had too much loft for my liking but I was impressed by the distance. One of my golfing partners uses the Ping Rapture to great effect and has improved his game since changing from the Ping G5 driver.
