Just been reading around the web that some people like the Japan version of PINGS better than USA's?

I guess the Japan versions have LESS Offset and 1 degree more loft.

Here are the specs for the Ping Rapture's!!!

those are counterfiet "clones" Ping clubs are made exclusively in the USA. Ping can modify the irons to fit your desired neds.

Uninformed post...A couple seconds of research would inform you that Ping established a whole seperate company called Ping Golf Japan KK so they can design\assemble\distribute a full range of products just for the Japanese market. Also, most of Pings clubs are now manufactured in China and then assembled in the US. The Rapture irons, Tour wedges, Redwood putters and I believe all driver, fairway and hybrid heads are poured in China. This information is easily available with a bit of research.

They're also half an inch shorter, so, be careful.

i switched from rac os2's to my hogans purely for less offset.

got tired of trying to hit a fade just to get the ball to go straight. but i play a natural draw.. so....

      Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly.

      Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.

      Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball.

      Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).

      Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
