Ping Rapture fairway wood

Two words: hate it

Love my Ping Rapture irons and my G5 driver, but can't hit the rapture off the deck for the life of me. I think it's probably because the profile is too big for a fairway wood. No great shakes off the tee either. Darn thing is destined for the garage or Ebay.

Re: Ping Rapture fairway wood

I have the ping rapture hybrid, i can't hit it very well either so i guess the woods/hybrids just aren't meant to be

however ive heard good things about the irons

Re: Ping Rapture fairway wood

I bought the G5 woods and can hit it off the tee great, but same problem off the deck. I would like to think I know what I am doing and haven't had this issue with other woods. Going back to the cleveland launchers which I really like. My old Ping ISI wood also works well.

Honestly I think its the shaft. Mine is a stiff TFC G5 3 and 5 wood. Too stiff.
