Ping is introducing several new club families for its 2009 product lineup, clubs that will complement the existing G10 Series, i10 irons, and the i-Series and Karsten Series putter lines.
The new series are the Rapture V2, which includes driver, fairways, hybrids and irons; the S57 irons; and the iWi putters.
All the new club lines are multi-material in construction, but Ping chairman/John Solheim says in a news release, "The common material throughout all of the new products is tungsten. From the driver to the putters, we've utilized the density of tungsten in strategic locations to optimize weight distribution and maximize performance. Plus, they all offer multiple fitting variables to ensure golfers can be properly fit for every club in their bag."
Here is a thumbnail look at the new-for-2009 Ping clubs, which will begin shipping in late September, 2008:
