Ping Rapture

This club is more than simply the "next-generation G5." It's engineered with a higher inertia (twist resistance) for noticeably more forgiveness. The key update is a titanium face insert in place of stainless steel. The exchange saves 25 grams, which get molded around the head to help your misses. Previous titanium-face irons had been guilty of spotty feel. But Rapture shouldn't feel hard, harsh or tinny due to the soft polyurethane "custom tuning port" in the cavity. $1,120 (steel), $1,300 (graphite); pinggolf.com
