The Rhapsody are their ladies club line.

I went to a Ping Demo day today and hit the i10's, G10's and s58's. I was looking at replacing my G2's to get away from the offset and also get a lower ball flight (I bought my G2's three and half years ago when I got back into golf after hardly playing for about 7 years; they were a great club for what I needed, but it was time to move on). I found the i10's to be exactly what I was looking for. They're smaller than the i5's, have a more penetrating ball flight, and look more like a blade. I hit the G10's which had much more offset and also the S58's. I ended up ordering the i10's, 4-PW, one degree upright, stiff AWT shafts, along with a 60 degree Tour wedge to go along with my 52 and 56 degree Tour wedges I already have. I should have them by Labor Day, and can't wait to get them The pro I deal with has been the Ping Canadian Clubfitter of the year 3 or 4 times, so he is considered preferred client and can order now; he said other orders can start on September 1. I am paying $600 (Canadian), tax in for my 4-PW and 60 degree wedge, after trading in my G2's with them. I figure a good deal; the clubs are about $120 Canadian per iron (heard they are $107 U.S. per iron on GolfWRX) and I'm getting 8 of them. Full retail would have been $960 plus tax, so I got quite a bit for my G2's. I deal with this Pro quite a bit and he gives me good deals, and he said there is still a good market for the G2's. If you get a chance, try the new clubs out; they are nice. Though saying that, I don't think I would have traded in my G2's for the G10's; not much difference if just looking to upgrade an earlier version of a game improvement club.

I was fitted today for a set of G10s and can't wait to get them out on the track. I had tried out a variety of brands (including Callaway, Cobra, TM, Mizuno) over the last few months. After trying the G10s, I knew that they were the ones for me. Smooth and easy to hit, with a great sensation at impact. They are forgiving like the Big Berthas, but without the bulky feel. I'm hoping these will last me a long time and help my confidence on the course.

In my C-130 bag:

Driver: G10 10.5*
3 Wood: Burner
Irons: G10 steel AWT shafts, silver dot, +1" (3-SW)Wedge: cg12 58*Putters: Squareback 2, California Coronado Low score (18 holes): 90Low score (9 holes): 42

I purchased a set of G10's after a fitting session hitting some G5's a couple of weeks ago.
I wasn't looking for a set of pings but ended up going with them.
I think I didn't get the right advice of the fitter,between that and my brain and swing glitch. I couldn't hit them at all. I hit a bucket of balls and tried to play 36 horrible holes with them.

They are a real sharp looking club, and have a nice feel about them. But I couldn't hit them for crap.
Dumped them for a loss and bought what I wanted in the first place, Mizuno MP-57's

Hit them for yourself if you can. The i10's are smaller and less forgiving than the i5's. To me Ping really went to the extreme in the 10 line vs the 5 line. The i10's have moved much more towards a "players" club with smaller/thinner heads and less offset vs the i5's. The G10's moved more towards super GI vs the G5. The G10's are now the Raptures without the titanium face.

I've hit them both; the i10 is smaller than the G5.
