Ping equipment reviews June 30th, 2007
composed of a 17-4 SS body, lightweight titanium face, which saves approximately 25 grams that is re-distributed in a high density tungsten toe weight. Properly utilizing these materials increases the moment of inertia making this the most forgiving iron in the line. Maximum Perimeter Weighting – Utilizing different materials maximizes the perimeter weighting, which substantially increases the moment of inertia for maximum forgiveness on off-center shots, while generating a very high, straight trajectory.
Wide Sole Design – The wide sole has positioned the CG further back to promote a high trajectory and lower spin for high soft shots into the green that don t balloon in the wind. This sole design also provides easy transition through the turf for solid ball contact. Deep Undercut Cavity Design – Cavity is parallel to the ground allowing more mass to be moved away from the club face, creating a wide sole and high moment of inertia for maximum forgiveness on off-center shots. Softer, Large Custom-Tuning Port (CTP) – Similar to the G5/i5, this CTP helps stabilize the face by maximizing the surface area it covers. This, along with a new, softer compound, gives the Rapture titanium face iron exceptional feel and sound. Exceptional Aesthetics – Fine satin finish gives the club a deep, rich look while providing exceptional durability.
The polished back weight and graphics badge add to the appeal of the club. Patented Flat Top Hosel and Hosel Notch – The flat top hosel is designed to reduce stress and improve feel, while the hosel notch controls the bend point for precise loft and lie adjustments. New NTS Grip – This new wrap style grip utilizes a soft rubber compound for enhanced feel, similar to the 703 grip.
