crgade:have always used rapture 255 and 3 wood and except for ocxcasional bp holes can still shoot -4 or -5
Good point. There are any number of highly successful players who use Raptures, the most prominent of them being Iconian (though I notice s/he has switched to a longer driver). For all the advantages that the Raptures offer to players working their way up, the ultimate drawback is the lesser accuracy and lower angle on approach shots, which means you will have to make longer putts to compete.
