the new 17* egg built and bagged this weekend , played it both days, result ..., fantastic .
wasnt sure what to do with this shaft, i had it in a yamaha driver , that i wasnt using, thought this is crazy i gotta have a proper crack at this thing and BOY did i make the right decision.!
my builder thought it might be a littlle on the light side at c9, i said i dont care do it if it is ill change it.
as idrive said"u can have this when u pry it from my cold dead hands!" it now sounds like a normal fairway wood i was hitting if off the deck not that far behind my partner s driving. with oodles more control, off the ground no tee. average shot 260ish plus . its sensational. the abiliity to move it is much better than the original. and its 17*,
its really sleek. looks terrific and no ballooning at all l. if ur undecided about getting one. have no fear ,its awsome.
its better than the original.[/size]

I envy you so much. I ordered one as soon as it showed up here. But still waiting....

Are you planning to get one with smaller loft?

THAST THE BIG QUESTION. i have the 15* and 18* old model with quadra fire express shafts in them.
love them both. id like a 13* in the new egg as a driver replacement , but i do hit the old 15* so well., and so low with the quadra in it.
i do like the new shape better it suits my eye perfectly. but the other ones are magnificent. i just had those built a cpl of weeks ago.
my buddy jsut shafted his 15* with a matrix hd-6.. we're at the range tom night so il see how that goes.
but
i m pretty sure i will soon enough.

Hey "supo" thanks for all the great info!!! So you're saying you're hitting the 17* past your 15* TEE, then you must be nailing your egg 15* close to your driver distance. Are you thinking the 13* will give you similar driver distance with more control and I would think another option out of the fairway for long par 5's. Just wondering.

[Jerry in China]

is 13 a little bit harder to manage, given much less spin? And also the spin will help the ball to keep up in the air. I am fine with 15 i guess, although i am hitting a 15 too high.
The waiting time is just annoying, annoying annoying....

Any idea when the egg coupled with the fobuki?

hey .., tks
it give me someting to do during those "non golf playing 50+ hrs a week"
my thinking was , ill get a 13* as a driver replacment , i wouldnt try and use it off the fairway. and id put another low launch low spin shaft in it. and use it to place balls a bit more consistanbtly on the short stuff when the tee boxes get tight.
the 15* old egg is plenty long but prob, 30 less than my driver off the tee , bec the ball flight is just so high. the new 17* is so much lower and hence prob the same length bec it rolls out more.
HOWEVER........................,
from the fairway the 15* with a quadra is an absolute monster. massive. its gets 30 plus yards more distance than when i use it off a tee l bec the air time is considerbaly less.
the new 15* i cant wait to use tomorrow, if its like i think then the 13s not an option, the 15 will be my driver alternate and the 17 the fairway wood. oh the choices the choices one has to make!

Demand for the new egg spoon has been far more than PRGR expected especially with the Fubuki. They did not build enough at launch and we were pretty disappointed in the number we were allocated.

So far those who have gotten theirs are very happy with the performance.

S, sounds like you are as well!

I am among the poor crowd.

I'm totally cool with C9 myself. I can barely tell the difference in my hands to be honest.

Don't worry for those waiting for the new egg to ship, You guy's are getting it on the same schedule as people in Japan are. It's like your in Japan waiting for it.

I won't be getting mine for a while as the customers get first dibs on them.
