  Ok, I am now using the V2 Rapture set.  The 7 iron is rated 145.  I just bombed a drive on Bethpage #1, had 146 left to go to the hole, with a 10mph wind blowing at my back, a little right to left.  I hit a 7 iron full power with backspin perfectly.  Result?  135 yards. ( with the ball that gives you more distance )

  It's still broken guys.

  The 7 Iron issue also hasn't been resolved for the TaylorMade Burner graphite set.  Sometimes, you can play a knocked 6 iron, but other times you need the benefit of the loftier club. This is an excellent product. Your balls are reasonable, and your new club sets look outstanding. 

         As for Tibbets Rapture V2 7 iron being affected also, may indicate parameters for these clubs may not be matched correctly.  So lets get these clubs fixed so you can work on more impressive courses, and challenges.

  Agreed. Had a shot on Kiawah # 1. Level elevation, 137 to the hole, 7mph tailwind, full backspin. Used Taylormade graphite 7 rated at 140, perfect line hit.....130 yards reached ?  I usually  treat my 7 iron like a little better 6 iron for this reason

  its normal for that hold. you see, the club has carry distance and run distance. the reason you are 18 yards short is 2 fold:

   

  1. that green is slightly uphill so it plays longer

  2. its landing area is 4-5 ft below the green, so anything landing on it without GOOD power will stop 18 yards short, like you noticed.

  next time try to hitting full power and land 6-7 yards further, it should release then. or come from left or right side (not directly at the flag)

  Very confused that the seven iron on any hole never goes beyond 150 yards and I am playing the ping G10 pro rated for 150.  On hole 1 at bethpage with a 10 mph tailwind I hit a full seven iron with no bs or ts and it goes 146.  I hit on the center line.  This is quite frustrating as I normally add 4 yards for the slight incline on hole 1.  This is not to mention that I am playing the G!D ball which should make the seven go over 150 if I am correct.
