Ping Rapture V2 fairway wood

Posted by Inspiring Golfer

The Ping Rapture V2 fairway wood is the result of Ping’s focus on multi-metal technology in which the key properties of various materials are combined to optimize performance. The Rapture V2 3 fairway wood features a tungsten sole plate that constitutes 34% of the head’s mass to position the centre of gravity for a higher launch angle and lower spin, which coupled with more loft (16 degrees) ensures the ball goes further with a more boring ball flight. The head of the Ping Rapture V2 has also been designed with a larger, shallow head profile to deliver added forgiveness and optimise performance in all conditions. The head is plasma-welded and the machined face is of variable thickness to maximise distance. The Ping Rapture V2 3 fairway also features the distinctive Double-Rapture alignment aid on the crown.


The Ping Rapture V2 fairway wood has also undergone a makeover with the internal weight pads in the sole replaced with a tungsten sole plate that constitutes a third of the head’s mass. This again allows Ping to position the centre of gravity for a higher launch angle and lower spin. The head design has been made larger and shallower and you really notice this at address. The large head of the Rapture V2 fairway gives you lots of confidence and forgiveness and although the lofts are slightly higher than normal, distance and trajectory are not affected. This is because modern golf balls spin less and we found these a joy to hit and certainly the best fairway woods Ping have made to date. Our personal favourite is the 17and a half degree four wood that comes with a 3-wood length shaft as standard for that little bit of extra power.
