Upgrade to lvl 59 G20 or keep lvl 47 Rapture V2?

  This is a tough call for me because the Rapture is REALLY consistent from my playing. I'm hitting almost 90% fairways with it. But, as I move up in levels I'm wondering if I should be considering a new driver. What do you guys think?

  I'm in the same boat with my K15s (very similar clubs to your raptures) and I already have it in my mind that I need to upgrade, minimum Driver and 3wd, if not the whole set.  I really want the whole set, especially if I want to go back to playing RGs and being competitive in them and possibly tourneys as well, but as of right now a bit shy on credits, we will see as I have 9 more levels to go.

  So even tho I have yet to buy or use them, I would recommend them. I have heard good things about them and seen good things on course from other players who have them, although that could just be the player...lol

  Here's my two cents worth. I was in the same predicament and came to the boards for advice, the majority saying upgrade to the G20's which I did last Sunday. My average was 71 - 1st round with the G20's I shot an 81 - sprayed balls everywhere.

  The meter is a little faster - 3 as opposed to a 2 on the L33 Raptures I was using however the forgiveness drops from an 8 with the Raptures to a 5 with the G20's, so when you miss the ding your ball will drift, sometimes badly where it wouldn't with the Raptures.

  I am getting used to them now and the last three 9 hole games have been 33 STA Front 9, 33 STA Back 9, 33 Olympic week 3 tourney.

  I miss the forgiveness of the Raptures but love the distance and the high loft of the G20's. I still have some trepidation when I swing and until that leaves I will always think I should go back to the Raptures....they are still in my bag but have resisted the urge for now as I get more comfortable with the G20's.

  Hope this helps in some way.

  IMO The level 58 G20's are better than the Level 80 something G20's. I owned them both and its a no brainer to get them over what you currently have.

  I'm waiting for the level 79 rocketbladez as they will fit into my all bag same meter speed intention. But I agree the V2 raptures are very good for the level you get them at.

  I had the level 47 Raptures and now have the level 80 ish G20's. 

  The G20 is.by  far,  better than the Raptures and that is not saying the Raptures are bad. They are not. Raptures got me to Master and the G20's may get me to Legend.

  The major difference between the 2 sets is distance and trajectory on the G20's. I never experienced any ball spraying or any other negative with the G20's , but as there is a high ball flight, wind is a bigger factor than with the Raptures. 

  The meter speed is slightly faster but easy to cope with. G20's by far.

  Sorry, I meant the G20 driver versus Rapture drver. I curently have the level 32 R11 irons and like them but am also considering the G20 irons as well. Who knows, may end up wth a full set here.

  I have the G20 driver from L58 and absolutely love it.  I do have the full set from L59, and will most likely upgrade to the L81 driver when I get there.  I think you'll like it (them) a lot once you play a few rounds with 'em.
