The Ping Rapture V2 is the updated version of the original and very successful Ping Rapture Driver, and is a club designed to offer the golfer an excellent blend of distance along with great control and workability. Most players at first glance will notice that it is an attractive looking Driver, with a classic head design and some nice graphics.
Slightly Elongated Shaped 460cc Multi-Material Head, Titanium Head with External Tungsten weight Pads,Thin Crown Design Technologies, Head Created for Effective Sound,Thin Machined Variable Face with Robotic Plasma weld,New Dual Rapture Graphic Alignment Aid.
The PING Golf engineers design and test every ping golf clubs in strictest quality-control conditions so that make the clubs played performed at the highest-possible level.Like prodecessors,the Ping Rapture V2 Driver is one of the perfect driver that towards to 20 grams of discretionary weight from a light crown to other areas of the clubhead and internal weights along the sole.
With a slightly elongated face profile and high-technology mix of titanium body with tungsten weights, the V2 capitalizes on the clubfitters' holy grail of high launch, low spin. The Rapture V2 does this with performance and style. Dual Tungsten weights do the job of keeping weight low and deep in the head, to help get the ball airborne.
Ping Rapture V2 Driver Description: The mass properties of tungsten and titanium are optimized in the PING Rapture V2 Driver to create a high launching, lower spinning driver that delivers the performance expected from a multi-metal design. The Rapture V2 Driver's 460cc head is slightly elongated by extending the face height and aggressively sloping the crown. The thin face is precisely machined and plasma-welded to deliver higher ball speeds for greater distance.
I just put a Rapture 2 driver in play, replacing a G10 that I really liked and replaced an original Rapture. Two rounds and I am pretty certain it will stay in the bag. I am interested in trying the 3 wood. Have you compare the Javln to the stock TFC shaft? Can you compare it to other shafts in terms of stiffness and trajectory?

Woods’s Two-Year Drought Nearly Ends in Australian Open
From about 250 yards away, thousands of fans perched on the dunes behind the 17th hole could make out the guy in a red shirt posing over his shot, and then the ball appearing on the green and racing down a ridge to 12 feet behind the pin.
This is what they wanted to see Sunday at the Australian Open in Sydney.
Tiger Woods, gone for most of the year and rarely on the leader board when he played Callaway RAZR X Hybrid, faced an eagle putt that would have given him a share of the lead late in the final round at The Lakes.
Woods missed.
Moments later, three groups behind him, Greg Chalmers hit a 7-iron to 18 inches on the par-3 15th for a birdie that put him back in control and led to a one-shot victory over John Senden. Woods closed with a five-under 67 and finished third, two shots back.
Woods has gone two full years since his last win, at the Australian Masters, and yet he headed south to Royal Melbourne for the Presidents Cup with reason for optimism. (MX-1000)
Two bad tee shots slowed his charge, one of them a questionable decision. Yet there also was a birdie on the second-toughest hole to keep alive his hopes, a chip-in for eagle on the 14th hole when nothing less would suffice, and three solid rounds that gave him his first real chance of winning in nearly a year.
The finish was his highest since a playoff loss last December to Graeme McDowell at the Chevron World Challenge, and his best result against a full field since his last win, in Melbourne.
“I felt great,” Woods said. “It’s nice to finally be healthy again.”
Woods missed most of the summer while letting injuries to his left leg heal, which made him ineligible to play once he was feeling strong. This was his second tournament in the last three months. (PING G20 Hybrid)
“It was great to be out there,” Woods said. “I had a chance. Unfortunately, I didn’t post the number I wanted to post.”
FOURTH TITLE FOR MATTHEW Catriona Matthew closed with a one-under 71 for a four-stroke victory in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, a 36-player event in Guadalajara, Mexico. It was her fourth L.P.G.A. Tour title and her first since the 2009 Women’s British Open.
Anna Nordqvist and I. K. Kim, the 2010 winner, shot 71 and tied for second.

Rookie Reid says Europe can surprise US in Solheim Cup
Melissa Reid believes Europe's Solheim Cup team can spring a surprise by beating their American counterparts in this weekend's transatlantic battle.
Europe have not won the biennial contest since 2003 and will be underdogs when the event starts at Killeen Castle in Ireland on Friday.However English rookie Reid, 24, believes form favours the home team.
"There's a good buzz on the European team and hopefully we can snatch it from them," added Derby golfer Reid.
"On paper we are probably coming in as slight underdogs but I think all 12 players are playing really, really well."
Over the last four years, Europe's only major winners have been team members Anna Nordqvist and Catriona Matthew - a statistic Reid believes can partly be attributed to the lack of opportunities on the LPGA Tour.
"It's not as easy for us to go out there and play on the LPGA as it is for the guys," added Reid.
"So we don't get to play against the same sort of competition as they do. Maybe that's the difference."
Reid could not be coming into the contest in better form having won the Open de Espana Femenino last week, her second Ladies European Tour title of the season.
She qualified for the European team for the first time at the head of the rankings and also finished third over the same course at the Irish Open last month.
While Reid prepares for her first Solheim Cup experience, Laura Davies will be making her 12th appearance and is the only golfer to play in every one of the contests.
The 47-year-old said:"The ultimate every two years is to qualify for the team and not worry about getting a captain's pick.
"I guess I've done it 12 times now, which is very satisfying."
Davies believes the outcome of Friday and Saturday's foursomes and fourballs will be crucial if Europe are to have a chance of victory, and she has called on the home supporters to make themselves heard.
"I think we need a lead going into the singles. If we don't have a lead, we'll be in a little bit of a trouble.
"The home advantage is not the golf course, it's the fans, it's the galleries, it's the cheering you get."

Slice No More
Hitting a big, weak slice is never any fun. Not only do they rarely travel very far, but they're impossible to control. For many amateurs, when they attempt to cure their slice, the slice often gets worse because they haven't the proper know-how to manage a slice and start hitting straighter tee balls. In this article, I want to put an end to complicated, tedious anti-slice advice and help you get rid of that pesky banana ball once and for all. Read on, follow these easy tips, and slice no more!
Aim Straight!
One of the most common mistakes I see from amateurs who struggle with slicing is improper aim and alignment. The first and most important key to getting rid of a slice is to stop opening your stance (as you can see in the photo on the opposite page). Doing this will force a swing path that cuts across the ball from outside to inside the target line, adding more slice spin. The solution? Square your shoulders so they're parallel to the target. As for your feet, they should be square, or even slightly closed (also opposite page) to encourage an inside-to-outside the target line path.
Why does aiming left cause you to slice? In most cases, it's because many slicers think they're aiming to the left, when in actuality they aren't. When you set up and then open your stance, you're actually moving the ball back in your stance. Also, when you do this, and you don't close the clubface as well, you're in position to hit an even bigger slice!
Get A Good Grip
When it comes to your grip, again, things may seem a bit counterintuitive. To help avoid slicing, the more you turn your hands to the right, the more inclined you'll be to start hitting your shots straight, or even a little to the left. This is what's sometimes referred to as a "strong grip." But I think that's a bit of a misnomer. I prefer to call it an "active grip," since many think a strong grip means gripping the club firmly, with a lot of pressure. However, the firmer you grip it, the less your wrists will roll and close the face through impact, so don't do that! Position your hands as you see here, and maintain a firm, but supple, grip pressure. Don't tense up; instead, let the position of your hands do its job and get the hands more active during the swing. I'll bet you see fewer slices right away.
Tilt Your Shoulders!
A great way to combat a slice is to swing the club on a path that swings from inside the target line to outside the target line. In other words, swing from in to out.
To do this, make an adjustment in your setup by tilting your shoulders away from the target. See how my right shoulder, and even my right hip is slightly lower than my left at address? This tilt will encourage my body to take the club back and to the inside. If I set up with my shoulders level to the ground, I'll be more inclined to swing along or away from the target line, thus forcing me to swing from the outside in, causing me to swipe across the ball and impart a lot of slice spin.
Finally, once you get the tilt at address ready to go, hold it all the way through impact!

Sirak: Woods’ story as compelling as ever
Pretty much all I have to do is type the words "Tiger Woods" and I get immediate feedback by Email, Twitter, Facebook, text, comments and carrier pigeon. Sometimes it seems as if all I have to do is think his name to trigger an avalanche of response. And the fascinating thing is that I can make the most innocuous, factual observation and be accused by one person of being too hard on Woods and by another of pandering.
That's why Tiger remains one of the most compelling stories in all of sports.
When Woods missed the cut at the PGA Championship, there were those who were quick to point out that he had played only 117 holes of competitive golf since the Masters -- a true fact. And there were also those who jumped in to ask why we are still writing about a guy who missed qualifying for the weekend by six strokes and has fallen out of the top-30 in the World Ranking.
To both I give the same answer: Did you really expect the guy who has been the best player in the world for 15 years and is on the short list in the conversation involving the best ever to play the game to finish outside the top 100 at Atlanta Athletic Club, even if rusty? And to those who say they know how this story is going to end, I say you are wrong. No one does.
That's why Tiger remains one of the most compelling stories in all of sports.
This is not a matter of kicking someone when he is down, or of trying to make excuses for behavior both on and off the golf course that has offended millions of people. If Woods were almost anyone else, none of this would matter. But he is not anyone else: He is a global brand by his own creation who is now damaged goods by every and all definition.
The fascination here -- and it is a totally appropriate one for both journalists and fans -- is trying to figure out exactly what it going on with Woods. Is it technical problems with the swing? Physical problems with the knee? Emotional scar tissue on his concentration and confidence inflicted by the personal turmoil and humiliation he has gone through? Is it just not playing enough and practicing enough?
Sorting through that mess is why Tiger remains one of the most compelling stories in all of sports.

Best Choice: Taylormade R11 Fairway Wood
TaylorMade has designed the new TaylorMade R11 Fairway Wood. It is the latest and greatest from the makers of the No.1 drivers and woods from the most popular wood manufacturers in golf.
This new set of Fairway Wood has been improved its technology as well as its looking. These woods feature an adjustment that lets the golfer alter how the sole contacts the ground, as well as the loft of the club. This provides golfer the ability to change the club will react easily and on the fly. These changes allow the golfer to maximize distance and control for their own golf swing. I would suggest taking this wood to the driving range for an afternoon of experimentation!
The R11 Fairway Wood also was charactered by its new aerodynamic shape which can help golfer to get much faster speed and more distance off the tee. At the same time, R11 also used movable Weight Technology .This kind of technology allows for either draw-biased or neutral weighting, meanwhile the Flight Control Technology provides up to eight different settings to adjust the face angle, lie angle, and effective loft, resulting in up to 60 yards of side-to-side trajectory change, giving you consistent power and distance.
It has a new deeper face and deeper center of gravity, which produces a more penetrating flight. The flat-white finish reduces glare and contrasts against the black face, resulting in easier alignment. These woods are available in five right-handed models and two left-handed models, along with two shaft options and several flexes.
About its looking, compared with the R11 Driver, its predecessor, the R11 Fairway Wood has a white crown and an adjustable sole which can adjust the face and launch angles of the club ever made. About its new technology, the R11 has adapted an adjustable sole that can adjust the face angle of the discount golf clubs, as well as the ability to adjust the launch angle, making it a truly adjustable fairway wood.
