August 8, 200717 yr Author comment_138991 The numbers will transfer. No problem with that. The only real significance, besides the reduced offset, is the stronger lofts on the J irons. You will probably want to get the A wedge (50*) to gap between the pitching wedge @46* and whatever you use as a sand. Currently, I use an eye2+ sand wedge @54* and a Callaway X Tour 60*. I'm probably going to order the US sand and lob Raptures at 54* and 58* and give them a go. The increased offset shouldn't be disconcerting in the wedges.
August 10, 200717 yr comment_139121 Any pictures of the wedges or short irons in the "playing" position? Would like to see what the offset looks like. Thanks!
August 10, 200717 yr Author comment_139137 Sure, I can do that. Though it may take me a couple of days. I’ll see what I can do. You can also pick up any Ping i5 iron. Exactly the same offset. In J, you can only get the sand, and it is 6* away from the A (50*) wedge. So, I just ordered the US versions of the sand (54*) and lob (58*) which will have a bit more offset relative to the rest of the set. I’m hoping the difference will be insignificant.
April 4, 200816 yr comment_148824 Is the 4 Iron in your set a J-Spec Rapture or a Normal Spec Rapture? I've looked on the Ping Japan website and here at Tourspec Golf and there is no mention of a 4 Iron. I'd love to order a set of J-Spec Raptures but would need a 4 iron in the set. So do they do a J-Spec 4 Iron?

So do they do a J-Spec 4 Iron? Hi and welcome to the forums! There is indeed a 4 iron. It's been added to the listing and specs have been updated. http://www.tourspecgolf.com/proshop/p1343/...oduct_info.html
April 5, 200816 yr comment_148839 Thanks for the info gocchin. May now order my set and get a 3 Iron just in case. 07-04-2008 - Just a update to say I've taken the plunge and ordered a set from here at Tour Spec Golf. Can't wait to get my hands on them. I love my current Raptures but just feel that for my handicap I'd be better off now with the J-Spec Raptures as the reduced Offset should make them more playable and also force me to improve my striking further, as they'll be less forgiving now.
