Ive got R9 and not the R9 460 and im finding it a little un forgiving so losing distance off tee! Had old G10 driver and regularly hit the sweet spot although accuracy was a bit off hence the change to the R9!!

V2's are have a playability rating of 914 or something like that. (Ultra game improvement)

G15's are 844. (Super Game Improvers) G15's are meant to be great if you can get over the looks. I can't

I have to agree, the R9 is very unforgiving on off centre hits. I lose around 20 yards more than I did with my previous tour burner and nike sumo. I demoed the rapture V1 and was disappointed with it, the sound and feel was very dull. I believe the V2 is quite an improvement though.

I can't speak to the difference of the V2 to the G15, but I can say the G15 is smokin'.

I picked one up last weekend, 9* Stiff Aldila Serrano. I have always been solid off the tee and long. The problem was I sacrificed "enjoyment" for forgiveness. I was playing the Sumo2 5900. No feel, unattractive.

Some may not like the appearance of the G15 but personally I think its attractive. The feel, the sound, the look at address and finally, the trajectory and length make this the most exciting addition in equipment I've had in a long time.

I didn't pick up a noticeable increase in distance but, most important to me, I didn't lose any distance. Couple that with the responsive feel, I can't recommend this enough.
What's in the bag...

I've hit both and the G15 is my preference. Very forgiving when you mishit it and rewarding when you catch it solid.

I love the look of it. I don't see why some would have issues with the look.
In my Hoofer:

G15 Driver 9° | Accra Classic SE stiff
Cleveland Hi-Bore 3W 15° | Accra Classic SE stiff
MP-57 3-PW | Rifle flighted shafts 6.0 Spin Milled 52-08 |Black Nickel | True Temper Dynamic Gold Spin Milled 56-08 |Black Nickel | True Temper Dynamic Gold Black Series I#9 putter Pro V1x

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
