Ping 2009 Rapture V2 Japan Model!

Ping Japan releases another Rapture J, the V2, again with less offset and 1 * stronger lofts:

Ping Japan introduces their all new Rapture V2 J iron for 2009! The Rapture V2 J is specifically made for the Japanese market. It features less offset than the US model and 1* stronger lofts.

Engineered to bring golfers maximum forgiveness, the Rapture V2 iron relies on multi-metal technology to launch the ball longer, higher and with more accuracy. A dense tungsten sole weight positions the center of gravity low and away from the face to optimize the launch conditions. An innovation made possible by the lightweight titanium face that frees weight for where it's needed most-low and on the perimeter.

The high launch angle allows for stronger lofts so golfers can generate greater distance without sacrificing control. The Custom Tuning Port stabilizes the titanium face to help ensure a solid feel and consistency.

I have seen and hit the lime green Tour AD shaft but only on a LM. Nothing special. Although I was wearing slacks and non-golf shoes at the time. The color turned me off though. It is kind of an ugly green.

The Cleveland Launcher 09 has a 52 gram Tour AD stock shaft as well.

Did you hit these?

T,

Like the previous Rapture they are pretty easy to hit. I did hit them with the Tour AD and it was a very easy to hit combination with nice feel. I am no low handicapper but I prefer the look of less offset.

If a player wants easy and forgiving but less offset the Rapture V2 is definitely an option.
