Finally, pulled the trigger - PING Raptures

[SirMilton]

After trying on the course virtually every new iron offered I finally picked the PING Rapture. Second were the new PING G10s and they were excellent, but the PING Raptures are G10s on steriods (same basic clubhead).

I am 59 & 1/2, have had 3 heart attacks, have type 2 diabetes and 3 years ago I rolled a SUV 7 times and was thrown out on the last roll and broke and screwed up my back and both shoulders; my left shoulder is still numb, cramps and is in constant pain. In short, I am no longer anywhere near "athletic".

However, I hit the G10s better than I hit blades when I was a scratch golfer in my 20's, and I hit the Raptures better than than. In short, $1,500 for a set of irons (graphite shafts) that perform this well is well worth the money.

I bought the 4-9, PW, UW and SW. I never use a 60 degree LW as they always make the head too heavy and the club never feels like its part of the same set.

I have the TM R7 Titanium 3, 5 and 7 fairway woods, so I don't need a 1,2 or 3 iron (which are at least ten times harder for me to hit than my fairway woods).

I guess I need to change my signature.

Wow, you are a trooper sir! Glad to see that you are not slowing down despite all of life's efforts to make you. Keep going and I hope you continue to enjoy the clubs.

they seem tempting i wish i could get some of ebay. Sadly ping products never fall in price on ebay and i am a broke junior golfer (i the last my money on a new putter which was ping)
