Ping Rapture V2 Irons are a set of clubs offered by Ping that are intended to give aspiring golfers maximum forgiveness, for an extreme game improvement. While they perhaps may not be the nicest looking golf clubs ever made. The Rapture V2 Irons are meant to make the game of golf as easy as possible. If you can purchase a V2 iron set in a shop offering discount for golf clubs, you will probably be very lucky.
The Ping Rapture V2 Irons result from Ping's investment in multi-metal technology that combines the key properties of various materials to deliver a club that produces an optimal performance. The Rapture V2 iron is made up or a tungsten sole weight, a titanium face and a stainless steel body to allow for an innovative game improvement design. The lightweight titanium face allows weight to be relocated to the wider tungsten sole that positions the centre of gravity ideally for a higher launch angle and increased MOI. As a result the Ping Rapture V2 can incorporate stronger lofts to increase distance without sacrificing any control. The incorporation of a deeper Custom Tuning Port with elastomer inserts increases face stability for a solid feel and a uniform response across the whole clubface.
The Ping Rapture V2 Irons are perfect for the target audience. They would definitely be a great iron set for a beginner or a senior golfer in particular.
If you can get past the chunky design and the rather unnatractive graphics. These are possibly the easiest to hit irons you could ever hold in your hands. In addition, both because V2 is not new and many shops are offering discount for golf equipment purchasers, the price for this powerful set is relatively low.

I purchased these to have something more forgiving since I was playing Ping I3 blades. Since I don't play as often I decided to buy something that would dampen mishit. I have a personal driving range and I found that my swing fault followed me, go figure :) Anyway, my 1st round was a disaster, but it wasn't the clubs. After the disaster I practiced all week with them, along with a major revision in my setup and shot 73 in my second round with them. So, they were redeemed. One thing I've noticed is that the offset is hidden well in the design of the club. I have never cared for offset, but it's almost invisible in this club. They feel really good in my hands and the thicker sole from the Ping's now seem normal.
