Sent the broken Rapture back and ordered an...
...FT5 Tour 9.5 degree with ProLaunch 65S.

I took the Rapture back to my Pro and he has sent it back to Ping. He said they will send us a new one but I've asked him to take the new one back into stock and to order me an FT5 instead.

Reasons;- If it broke after 2 weeks what will it look like in 12 months? I want a to stick with a set for at least a full season, no tinkering so want something to last. Although it was probably a one off & the replacement would probably be sound, i think I would have had my head turned by the FT5 sooner or later anyhow.

Hope it works as well or better for you. Sorry to hear you are no longer Pingafide but don't blame you for feeling that way....

Will echo what R35 said regarding loft, shaft etc and review.

I ordered the FT5 Tour, 9.5 degree, neutral bias with ProLaunch blue 65S. I found that the prolaunch performed brilliantly in the same spec FT3 so thought I'd go for it.

WBL, I still think the Rapture is a very good club who knows if i would have purchased the one I demo'd at the range it could have been a different story..?

All I know is when I demoed it and saw the results I couldn't walk out of that store without that EXACT club in my hands!!
