7 degrees of loft... Slower swing speeds need not apply...

Looks like PRGR has a new Egg driver out for the faster swingers.

Although I can only dream about hitting a driver with that low of a loft, I am interested in learning about the technology and design behind it.

It also makes me wonder what they have in store in the pipeline.

Clubs I can actually play, not think I can play. Put the ego aside to focus on improving my score.

Its an interesting idea by PRGR who always does their homework.

I'll be blogging about it soon once I get the demo.

If you have questions about J-Spec equipment or need recommendations or fittings, please send me an email at gocchin@tourspecgolf.com (email is best)

Very very interesting. My present driver is 8.5 degrees. I have always liked using a light weight shaft which I think has always caused me to launch high drives. Now, with a 7 degree loft driver, wondering if that would force the ball to have a lower trajectory even if I retain a light weight shaft. Wow, I am excited!

I have a Ping G15 7.5* , shafted with a Crazy TJ-46

It launches mid for me & feels iike a 8.5 - 9 lofted driver. I guess it depends what shaft you have in it

The 7* driver is actually quite nice. It's not what you would expect. The launch angle is very similar to my 9.5 driver that I play currently.

Check out the review written on the blog about it: http://www.golftoimp...-driver-review/

To 9.5! WTF? What is going on with launch angles in Japan lately! Any idea what these are going to go for? I read the review - seems interesting. I may try it but not if it's going launch it like a 9.5! How's the feel and tech? Low spin at least...
