New PRGR Egg Irons Review

New PRGR Egg Irons – To say PRGR is at the cutting edge of golf technology would be an understatement year after year they continue to think outside of the box pushing the boundaries and trying things other company just don’t have the guts to,  their latest releases are evidence of this with their 2 new irons the Egg Iron Red as seen in this blog post and the non conforming Super Egg Iron which I will review later.

At the heart of the new Egg Irons is it’s power groove structure,  when the face meets the ball during impact it flexes and releases pushing off the face at a higher velocity,  the front portion of the sole also flexes with the face as one making this a really unique design.  High launch and low spin is the result.  More photos and comments after the Jump…

The new PRGR Egg 2015 Iron features a maraging steel custom 450 stainless face while it’s body is made of what PRGR calls special powder metallurgy metal,  deep inside the head.  The shorter face height helps get the ball up by lowering the CG and as you can see in the photo above it’s setup is fairly compact for the type of iron it is,  it’s got nearly no offset with a somewhat thick top line that is hidden well with it’s beautiful black finish,  overall it’s top line matches the size of the club head perfectly.

When standing over the ball you can’t help but to feel extremely confident especially if you are used to playing something much smaller like many of us are but when you hit it everything changes,  it’s a higher pitch sound at impact not very dense but also not hollow and then the ball launches off the face  as you would expect to see from a fairway wood or driver,  it’s pretty amazing and simply put if you want to hit long,  high,  straight shots consistently this is a good way to achieve this.

I found the face visually appealing,  you can hit it just about anywhere but the heel and the most outer edge of the toe  and still get good results where doing the same with the vast majority of other irons will punish you greatly.

I also found distance to be outstanding  with a loft of 40* on the PW it’s insanely long for me 2 clubs longer than my forged 1 piece irons that have a 47* PW.  I’ve also hit various irons from other brands that have a 38* PW and the PRGR new Egg irons 40* is still longer.  Right now I’m using the standard carbon shaft that is a flex too weak for me and also too light yet the ball is going straight I think it’s the head technology doing most of the work here.

I’m liking it so much in stock form I don’t feel the need to go steel,  I would like to try Fujikura MCI or other top carbon shafts especially the new Crazy STP85 which I play in my current gamers.  The swing weight is light at D0-D0.5  heads must be lighter which is something I see a lot of with PRGR,  tip weights will for sure help with that,  the shaft lengths come extra long from the factory standard as well.

Forgiving,  Straight,  High Launching,  Very Long these are for the player who wants to make golf much easier,  it’s the opposite of a blade.  The only things some may find wrong with it is it’s ultra modern looks and size and the fact that it’s not workable at all but most golfers take straight and long over those attributes all day.  It’s wide sole works especially well for sweepers but for steeper swings you will notice a good amount of leading edge relief to prevent the digs.

Base set is #7-PW with optional #6 iron,  AW,  AS,  and SW,  the new 2015 PRGR Egg Irons Red will be shipping from September 11th 2015 so make sure to order yours in advance if you would like to be one of the first to put these in play.  Available in the TSG ProShop by ( Clicking Here )
