We are looking to get more info on this model for you guys. Will update this as soon as I hear anything. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saternus Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 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? Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted May 19, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted May 19, 2010 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?

Sam B Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Rapture is no more, K15 will be serious game improvement product. 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.

cheymike Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 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! •Never argue with an idiot. First, he will drag you down to his level.

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted May 21, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted May 21, 2010 Any guesses on the type of hot pepper that will go with it? Hot peppers and death themes on the shafts, rock on Aldila!

Addicted2Golf Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 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.

golfermax78 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Not gonna lie the style is not even close to as good as the G15 or the I15. It just looks a little too plain for me, but who knows.
