Took mine out today as I had struggled in a competiton the day before.

To be honest, i was astounded, I was playing with an 8.5 degree G2 and then played with the Raptor 10.5 in stiff today and it is longer, straighter and to be honest the best driver I have ever hit.

I have been playing the Rapture for about 8 months now and still love it. I had the opportunity to hit the Rapture with a whole bunch of different shaft configurations at the Ping demo day. They also had a Trackman there so you could verify your launch conditions. I ended up going with a Diamana Blueboard 83 stiff shaft. Added 20 yards to my drives just by getting me into ideal launch conditions (15* and 2800rpm). Went with a shorter shaft (44.75") as the stock shaft is too long and uncontrollable.

One word...WOW! This thing is long and forgiving. I came from a G5 and I struggle to carry 180. On good drives, I'll max out at about 240 with roll, that's at the best (probably happens once every other round). When I struck the first ball with the Rapture, it carried 215. I was thinking to myself, ok, lucky drive. I hit about 10 more and 8 out of 10 carried about 220 and the other 2 about 200. I hit a total of 50 balls and I shanked 3-4. I was thinking to myself after the 15th ball, this has got to be luck. So I swapped over to the G5 and back to my old roots, nothing over 180. I then finished up the last 20-30 balls with the Rapture and my drives were simply amazing (for me course). I got the 10.5 with the TFC909 Stiff shaft. Trajectory is a bit high for me or maybe I'm not used to the driver yet. I think this is a keeper. I'm pretty consistant with my irons but I always struggled with my driver. With the Rapture by my side, things might look up for me!

I bought a like new Rapture off ebay for 244.00 with the proto by you 65 stiff shaft.9 degree
,I love it straight and long .hit it about 270 in 40 degree temp with range balls .right down the middle .So impressed I went and bought the 21 degree hybred also.It works for me.
