Ping Rapture Driving Irons - any love?

[damoocow]

A few years old now but I like the look and feel of these - anyone got one in their bag?

[Jerrymoo]

I have a few of these. They're very good, IMO.

Stock shaft was horrible, though.

The Crossover is good, too. Longer and more forgiving, but I still prefer the look/feel of the Rapture.

Haven't seen the Crossovers in person yet but assume they're what Cleveland have been doing with their hybrid irons for years? What is a Crossover worth individually?
.............Let me know if you decide to sell a Rapture.

For about $50 you should be able to pick up one of the following, still in the plastic;

Speedblade 4i (20*) or 3i (17*)
Cleveland 588 TT 4i (21*) 3i (19*)
Cleveland 588 MT 4i (21*) or 3i (19*)

To me these are as good as any driving iron I have ever used, but even more forgiving and versatile.

I go mine from GCO and Penrith Golf Factory.

Way less than you would think. Compared to Ping G irons or Hybrids, almost non existent. Marginally more than an AP2, half that of a G10, and about 2/3rd of an I series.

TBH, not all that familiar with Cleveland gear.

The Crossover is larger and has more offset than the Rapture, it's a little clunky, really... and the sound/feel are fairly clicky. But it's dead easy to hit, and it really goes.

I think they're running $300+ here in Aust.

Or you could just use a 5i!

Or you could just use a 5i! Like a really easy to hit RSi1. But who would have a spare one of those laying around?
