I knew when I first saw these on the GTI blog a little while back these were going to be a must have.

I don't know what it is but these look like a winner. IMO, PRGR has to be the most under rated club maker out there.

Going to be a serious iron shoot out in a couple of months... Should have 5-6 of the new iron sets ready by then. I have a feeling it's going to come down to the AF302's and these (TR500's).

They look unreal and what may do it for me is that they appear to be a compact players CB from above and below but have the mass behind the face of something a little more forgiving.

I think these could be my 2010 gamers!

First Impression:

Very blade like. It is actually a blade in disguise.

This is for the good ball striker. Blade player.

Beautiful club.
If you've ever bought a club just to look at this would be one of them.

I'll have a review up in a couple of weeks.

Yea PRGR actually calls it a blade at times. Technically it's a CB, I will post more pics in this thread tomorrow, It is stunning to look at in person.

It's smaller and more compact vs the 302. It also has less offset and a thinner top line than the 302 does.

I was able to hit the TR500, its for the guy who wants a soft muscle back that has more forgiveness than a traditional MB.

I could make this set work if my ball striking was spot on. I will leave the TR500 Limited irons for those who can handle a blade.
