PRGR recently released a wide selection of PRGR Egg woods and irons and Pro Gear was kind enough to send us samples a couple weeks back well before release. To say they are excited about the new Egg series would be an understatement they truly believe these are the longest most forgiving clubs in this segment and as usual everything is jam-packed with tech that other brands don’t use.
The biggest feature on the clubs is the head itself and there is really a lot to explain about them so where to begin? Let’s start by clicking read more to see more pictures and explanations + quick review on these…
First off there is virtually no offset yay! while the top line is thick it still sits square to the target and while you can see the back of the head behind the top blade you also could with any UT wood as well except PRGR has basically eliminated the hollow back of a UT to create a scoop like the Egg FW Gen II or the newest version, then they put a large tungsten bar as far back as possible for increased MOI the top line is thick and very forgiving, the head finished in black to appear smaller.
PRGR has done all the right steps this is easiest Driving Iron or UT like Iron that I have ever hit. The goal is high launch and low spin and PRGR has knocked it out of the park with this one.
At impact the face itself bends while the power groove which is a notch behind the face before the scoop acts as the fulcrum and after face deformation it reforms to send the ball flying with a powerful velocity.
Below the image of the sole which is wide, slides thru turg smoothly and has a good amount of leading edge relief especially for a utility, lead edge relief is usually only seen on irons.
PRGR created their own custom powder metallurgy 455 rolled maraging steel face and with a 450 custom maraging body, the weight on the back is tungsten Ni, W, Fe.
On course, I’ve had a chance to play all of PRGR’s new clubs and will write reviews for each of them in the future but the Egg UT one ups the Egg i+ in just about every category it also looks a hell of a lot cooler to me. The feel is is a tink that is somewhat a light hollow and louder but not off-putting, the distance is phenomenal the 19* UT is equal to my 18* 5 wood, it is longer than my 19* RomaRo Chapter 2 which I adore and also my 19* Modart UT which is in the bag currently and has been for over a year. Forgiveness is excellent as many who don’t hit UT’s and FW’s as accurate as driving irons will be happy with this, really anyone will these are a no-brainer for people who have issues with the long iron as well. The other day I hit 10 out of 10 shots perfect on the range with little focus, this club absorbs minor swing flaws.
Available in 19/21/23/25 with only PRGR carbon shafts as an option, TSG can also custom build these but because PRGR is not a component brand you would have us pull the stock shaft and install something special for you. The official release date is early Sept 2015 but for sure the 1st run will sell out quick so to avoid that if you know you want one of these we highly suggest a pre order by “clicking here“.
i want a steel shaft, can it be done?
