Some snaps of the new super egg driver DAT55G face Non Conforming 1* open face that according to PRGR actually plays neutral Early Oct Release Date

Yes on TSG we can get all of them and a couple more. just drop me an email ( [email protected] )

In China as I recall TM never used Endo as far as I know.

nothing.

It's just another material used in drivers, it's been used by a many brands and isn't considered on the high or low end just another option usually for the body of the club, I wouldn't go searching for it or buy a club based on it.

That is a new type of CFRP carbon crown, remember the TR340 etc Drivers? PRGR has been at the forefront of using carbon plastics in the for a very long time not the First but the most interesting and well thought out designs using carbon reinforced plastics. Absolutely it would, how PRGR measures it they are 3* open face angle standard in all lofts but when hitting it seemed square to slightly open. I'm sorry no as I often say to all our lefty members Japan unfortunately is only made up of 2% lefties :(

It's smaller than the 2nd gen and a little deeper

Yes and also where you play matters too in Vegas nothing rusts. In Hawaii even satin platings wear faster.

Yes it wear much faster.

I just asked and will post the answer shortly.

Very different, they are more player for sure and have a better look at address, it produces a trajectory with noticeably less ballooning, I would still suggest Egg i+ for the mid-higher handicapper but I'm sure low and some of the mid cappers would choose the new Eggs based on looks alone. Of course the Egg i+ is easier to hit high but it also has a wider dispersion imo less accuracy. I can tell the tip of the standard shaft made for this new egg is firmer and perhaps the kick point higher but as far as materials and how they evolved the technology it's an upgrade for sure to an already amazing UT Iron style club. I have to try different UT shafts to see what is possible.

Everyone here plays irons with offset just different amounts of it so no one is fully anti offset, the fact remains that offset is a very good thing for most players. from golfsmith:

One has a finish the other does not. You could also consider any finish that isn't a plating: copper, black oxide, gun blue etc.. non-plated as well. Why? for variety for the same reason other brands offer multiple finishes.

Had a great couple of weeks with this club, even with the stock shaft. The #5 goes further than my current 3 wood! Full review coming this week please stay tuned.

This thing is awesome! Not released till Early Sept TSG has got it's hands on some early and also have it in the proshop for only $249 as a pre order. I'm positive first batch will go quickly, more to come from PRGR this week!

Very nice find! You can do a straight shaft from the heel then weight it to balance better with weights or you can go center shaft, also perhaps if you send in a doner neck even a weld plubmers neck. + refinish/shaft/grip and it would look brand new! When I first started TSG old man Ishihara was still alive and we dealt directly with him, then he passed away and so did our deposit to his co...:(

RomaRo Alpha Irons - I've been testing this one over 1 month casually meaning sometimes I put it in the bag for a round or two and take it to the range. 5-6 rounds and I'm confident I got a grip of what these are all about. When first opening the box and holding them in hand a question popped into mind: If I had to choose a thinner top line vs less offset and could only choose one which would it be? So let's cover what these are and who they are made for, If you look at the RomaRo line up they do a pretty good job of making something for everyone the RomaRo Alpha irons I consider to be their most forgiving yet. Made with a 15-3-3-3 titanium face and 17-4 stainless steel body in satin finish, available 5-PW with optional #5 and PW, standard shaft options are RomaRo Rj-Ti2 Carbon or NS950 Steel, TSG offers these as heads only or custom shafted with everything we have to offer. It's got a low CG thanks to it's deep undercut and thicker sole, forgiveness and a high trajectory are just two of it's attributes and the lofts are prety strong, the PW is 43 and the AW is 58 so about 4* stronger than most today. RomaRo is proud of it's new face design which is only 2.1mm thick on the #5 iron This is a Titanium face iron made of 15-3-3-3 it's strong but has a powerful pop off the face combined with strong lofts they produce insane distance that you would only expect in larger sized game improvement irons. ※ thickness design: # 4-6 (central 2.1 mm, around 2.4 mm) / # 7 ~ AW (center 2.3 millimeter around 2.4 mm). our probably wondering how does it feel? Its not as loud as I expected sound is a hollow chink/tink feel with, you can tell its made of Ti, why does that even matter? Titanium has optimal weight and ball velocity for drivers and recently more JDM irons are implementing them, It also gives you the sense of unity with the woods due to it's sound and feel. Look below I know, I know, first thing I noticed was the offset it's a little much for me, but at the same time it's topline is thin for this type of club, compared against the VG3, TM Rsi TP, Gloire Forged which I have also been messing around with it can fit in dispite the offset, so for what it is and how it performs it's pretty small. Back to my original question "If I had to choose a thinner top line vs less offset and could only choose one which would it be? I would reduce offset because the top line is the thinnest I've seen in a Ti faced GI iron. That said, after maybe 20 balls on the range I adjusted hand position and tempo a bit and I was hitting it much better than any of my razor blade compact CB's longer, more forgiving, good unique, but distance and forgiveness are equal to the PRGR Titan RS but this one is smaller and shapped better although it has more offset. Sole is thick but not like the others in this iron category, I'm 2.5 clubs longer distance than my MB's. It's pretty shocking of an adjustment coming from single 1 piece forged CB's and Blades it feels as if I am cheating. These are confoming by the way.

Imo that's a horrible grind focused on looks over performance, the goal of a sole grind is to slide effortlessly through the turf or be able to open the face at certain angles, think Vokey or Callaway or Mizuno etc.. Rounding out and smoothing harsh edges is so important for the sole. This is the opposite of that.

Cool well if you do decide to check again later I'm curious how it changes after X amount of rounds

Goal was to make an iron that wasn't gushy soft and had the right amount feedback from mis**ts and compact/workable like a blade. Remember feel comes from design, loft, sole etc.. very little comes from material. S15/20/25 all feel similar but as you mentioned the center strikes feel as if the ball disappears while heel and toe mis**ts is firmer. Keep in mind the type of player this is for, Mid to high cappers usually prefer softer feel, low capper & pro's need that feedback so we really feel what we created was the best of both worlds. Lofts are somewhat traditional with a 47* PW. In our testing distance wasn't noticeably longer, this CB is the smallest 7CB we will make, with the addition of 2 new MB's we needed to make the upcoming new CB more forgiving, slightly thicker, and same soft center with good feedback on the mis**ts.

We have sold many many of these and so far 2 heads have snapped with minimal bending, heads not sets. I've bent cast, stainless, and of course forged sometimes you can make it happen with no issue other times they just break. I suggest ordering the bend from the factory to avoid these issues.

They are actually a cast body with a stainless maraging face.

Something very cool, PRGR has announced the new Egg Red and Super Egg Gold, both are made using DAT55G faces, 460cc, with standard open face angles. COR on the gold is just above 0.85. --- PRGR 2015 Super Egg Gold (non conforming) --- --- PRGR 2015 Egg Red --- (conforming)
