I was just at Dick's Sporting goods at lunch and they had about 6 Ping Rapture Drivers in a bag mark down to $149.00. Also on golfsmith right now they are selling for the same price. Is there a reason that a once $400 club is now selling for so cheap.
I'm considering going back for one, I need to update my driver, but I was just a bit concerned about the dramatic price decrease.

Anyone have any input?

Thanks

Perhaps a new model being released?

they're very forgiving drivers.

I've only hit them once or twice. Goes pretty long. Not a crazy noise off it like my cobra either.
Perhaps a new model being released?

Its still a decent club. Right?

It's a great club.

Try it out, you won't be disappointed. What's wrong with your cobra driver? what model is it?

I currently play a Ping Rapture. It is the 1st generation and the Rapture V2 is the "newer" model. There is a TON of technology in the original rapture driver and the clubhead is FANTASTIC. The old marketing material mentioned that it was designed with the assistance of a Cray computer. I'm wasn't crazy about the stock 909 shaft and I swapped it out for an NVS but I absolutely LOVE the club. It's traditionally shaped but it's absurdly forgiving yet workable. I've looked at all of this years drivers but I won't switch because I'm so happy with the Rapture. I liked the driver so much I bought the 3wd as well.

If you just do a search on Ping Rapture you find a bunch of reviews. Not that it means a lot but if I remember correctly Angel Cabrerra used it when he won his masters.

Driver: VRS 9.5 degrees

Fairway Wood: 13 degrees
Hybrid: A3 19 degrees

Irons: i20's  Yellow dot

Wedges: Vokey's 52, 56 & 60

Putter: 2 ball

Ball: Penta; ProV
