Ping Rapture announces retirement

[SharkAttack]

Played my first competition of the year yesterday 82 less 9 h/cap up 0.1. Physio gave me the all clear to play if there was no pain during swing . Still a little pain doing other things but the swing is okay. Another week like this and would maybe have been okay for Castle Stuart GUTTED

Played quite well but Ping Rapture was misbehaving badly (Which it has been pretty much since I got it in January).

Did a little practicing on Saturday night, short game, iron play then took out the two big sticks G10 & Rapture and hit a dozen shots. G10 never put a foot wrong, Rapture bit my ass again.

Played today and scored 47 points in our early morning sweep. 67 scratch (3 under) again G10 never put a foot wrong one bad shot into the rough, but I was aiming there expecting the fade/cut I have been getting from the Rapture.

Moral of story- If it aint broke don't try and fix it.

One Ping Rapture taking early retirement. In fact I may sneak up behind it put a bag over its head, give it a pair of concrete boots and leave it swimming with the fishes. No i'm not bitter about yesterdays score, but that Rapture has lost the last one of my golf balls.

I think the kindest thing to do might be to send it to a golfing retirement home otherwise known as the For Sale forum and see if someone can give it some love in its twilight years

I never thought about that, I was too obsessed about giving a long slow painful death.

A bad workman and all that!
Get to the range next week (give yourself a while still to recover) and start again with it, easy swings and build it up to see where you and it are going wrong.

I would keep it,maybe go back to it in a couple of weeks,or hit the range and get used to it.

Hell no Brendy!!!!!!!!

The G10 was working well before and is working well now. I just went in search of a few more yards and to be honest I don't really need the distance. I will maybe look again another time but I think I will wait until I go to Ping at Gainsborough later in the year. Then I can get the right shaft and swing weight and also see if there is anymore distance there or if the G10 is giving all I need. I may even keep the Rapture and get it re shafted although I think that boat may have sailed.

Rapture is an awesome club, your clearly a chopper!

When you walk into the room and it goes quiet it's because your mates were talking about you behind your back - guess what they were saying.....?

Yeah, what Crawford said

I love my Rapture, despite my occasional 30 yard slice

What a talented golfer he could probably score even more points if he wanted to. Hope he stays in our sweep.

Nah!! I just realised I didn't have a girly swing.
