I would recommend you try the Ping G10 series also. My buddy just got the 3 wood and he gets awesome distance and very straight.
In my OGIO Kingpin bag:
Driver/Wood - Callaway Hyper X 10*, Ping G10 (3)
Hybrids - Adams IDEA A3 Boxer (3) 19*, Adams IDEA TECH A4OS (5) 25*
Irons/Wedges - TaylorMade R7 5-PW, Titleist Vokey 52* Gap, 56* Sand and 60* Lob
Putter - Nike Ignite 002

i had the ping rapture 5 wood and loved it!!!! i really feel like for the beginner or higher handicap golfer that is one of the best! i kept the club for a long time because i just got up there and swung hard and it went straight, felt great coming off the club face. it was so hard to mess up a shot with that club, and it was very long, i could hit that 5 wood 250-260 everytime. if my ball striking had not started really improving it would still be in my bag. i switched only because the 5 wood swing carried into my driver swing(that didnt go straight and long) and it didnt force me to focus on a good swing. i went with the titleist 906f4 13.5 and sold the rapture only because the titleist forces me to focus on my swing and doesnt allow me to get away with hacking like the rapture. i sold my hybrid as well and went back to a 3 iron( i hit irons 10 times better than hybrids) since i have the 3 iron i dont need a 5 wood. i hit the 3 iron around 250 and i can use the 13.5 if i need longer than that or either do what i hate to do but should try more often LAY UP. also, the titleist is much more similar to my driver, so me hitting the titleist has helped my driving as well. i still cannot say enough good things about the ping rapture 5 wood!

    • Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…
    • Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him. 
    • Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.   
    • Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
