Interesting. I have the G15 and i15 both and love them both. I will for sure have to check this out, assuming it's not a Japanese only model.

I'll be very interested to hear what this is going to offer to set it apart from the G, I, and Rapture models. Is is "between" player and forgiveness? Adjustable?

 

 

The pics don't show the hosel area. I'm thinking maybe that was intentional to not giveaway that it is probably adjustable/replaceable shaft.

Actually a standard hosel on the K15 XXIO.

Rapture is no more, K15 will be serious game improvement product.

How can you get more game improvement than the G15? I hit the first generation Rapture and it didn't seem to be more forgiving than the G10. What design element am I missing here? SGI vs. GI driver?

That, and K for Karsten would be my guess as well. Maybe it'll be released in August alongside the Anser irons, or on September 15th to commemorate his 99th birthday. Can't wait to see what they do for his 100th, I've got a good feeling about it though.

 

The G series was already PING's "Game Improvement" series, while the awesome, but seriously aging and not dropping in price Rapture/V2 series was the "Super Game Improvement". This is noted on PINGgolf.com in the breakdowns of their clubs.

 

I play Rapture fairways and a Hybrid, had the driver before I upgraded to a Diablo. Great clubs, incredibly forgiving. Need to reshaft the 3, 5 and H though at some point this season, I've quickly outgrown the R flex. No clue where to start, I'm only in my second year. XD

I really like the Ping stuff I have tried, but don't happen to own any. My first thought on the "K" model was "What happened to H and J?" Yanno... G (H) I (J) K .... bet the next one will be M! LOL!

I bet my brother will buy one of these, as he is a Ping lover and hasn't bought anything new since the first Rapture. Heh, I'll give his a try! LOL!

Any guesses on the type of hot pepper that will go with it? Hot peppers and death themes on the shafts, rock on Aldila!

 

Red Savina? Scotch Bonnet?

 

Gravedigger? Undertaker?

 

Maybe change to Aldila Sunshine or Aldila Kitten :)

In all seriousness, I always though the Rapture name was weird anyway. Raptor would have been cooler. Rapture is just odd.

 

It makes more sense for them to stick with their letter series and honor Mr. Karsten with the "K". It's fitting if the K-series is the most forgiving in the line-up. He pioneered many of the game improvement innovations that we enjoy today.

For a while I actually thought it was Raptor. Then I saw the spelling difference, but only later did I realize the pronunciation difference.
