Lofts compared
- G10
- Rapture V2
What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the G10 is 34° and the Rapture V2 is 32°, a 2° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Rapture V2 should carry roughly 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the G10. Across the 11 clubs both sets share, the Rapture V2 averages 1° stronger, with the largest gap at the 7-iron (34° vs 32°). The pitching wedges are 46° and 45°; the stronger one leaves a 5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping.
The sets are built differently: the G10 runs 2-iron to LW (12 clubs), the Rapture V2 3-iron to LW (11 clubs).
Both are game improvement irons, built for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. Perimeter-weighted cavity backs with wider soles, more offset and stronger lofts, aimed at mid handicaps. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The G10 is listed as investment cast and the Rapture V2 as multi-material cast body with titanium face and tungsten weighting. The Rapture V2 adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.
The Rapture V2 came out 1 year after the G10, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The Rapture V2 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 2° stronger than the G10 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Is the Ping G10 stronger lofted than the Rapture V2?
No. The Rapture V2 is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 32° against 34° for the Ping G10, 2° stronger and worth roughly 6 to 8 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the Ping G10 and Rapture V2?
