What's the Difference b/w G10 and Rapture

[Weltall]

Just curious but what kind of players are both catered to?? I heard the I series are for the players but what distinguishes the 2, aside from the looks??? Is the rapture considered to be "super game improvement"??

They both are the same except the Rapture has a "multi-metal" compound in the face. Basically a titanium face, which makes it very hot. The wedge is really tough to control since everything comes off so hot. I would say they're both super game improvement irons. Nothing wrong with that. They're both very easy to hit and "workable". Distance control is an issue though. Also, the G10 has the AWT (progessive weight) shafts, which may help. They also have progressive offsets, which are nice. You don't need huge amounts of offset in your lower irons.

hmm well I was considering getting one of those for a 2 iron replacement... Would there be a difference between the 2, aside from price??

Should be no difference. It just depends on how much that titanium face in the Rapture is worth to you. These 2 irons should definitely be easier to hit over other 2 irons, but if you hit a hybrid, then why not get a 2i hybrid instead?

The hibore's great but I don't like the feel/sound.. It's weird but I just don't find too much enjoyment in hitting them, even if the results are great. Anyway, if I can find hybrids that will lead to similar results but with better feel, I'll go with that one... Oh, and plus I'm a golf ho and I like to diversify my equipment :)

What exactly is the benefit to the titanium??? Weight??

The titanium is supposed to make the ball hotter off the face, which is really more evident in the short irons as the ball jumps and is tougher to control. Obviously not an issue with a 2 iron, but I don't think it's worth the extra cash.

I love my Nickent 3DX hybrid.
