Two new PRGR clubs to play with

Last Thursday I had two deliveries, one was a PRGR Tour GN502 440, 9 dgrees with an Oban Devotion 6 shaft stiff flex installed, the other was a PRGR 15 degree Egg Spoon PX-03 (see post PRGR where did it go). THe Egg went straight to my club fitter and an Accra Dymatch M5, S3 75, stiff was fitted. Previously both my driver and 3 wood had a Kai'li 70, stiff fitted.

Well, all that has been previously said about the Egg is true, it is as Tario, says "automatic". I actually changed the way I played to suit this club. The ball flight is perfect and the distance is as good as it gets. It is as easy to hit off the turf as it is of a tee and the pop sound when hit is almost reassuring. This is definitely a keeper.

The PRGR GN502 440, launches the ball like an exocet missile, low and straight. I found this club more forgiving than my existing GN502, which I had a tendency to slice/duck hook on occasions. The length of drive is as long as I have hit. My only problem is it is very low and I am not sure whether the shaft/loft is the culprit. I am not too concerned but hope I do not have to play a course where you drive over trees etc.

I am trying out the new Epon, drivers very shortly and it will be interesting to compare.

In all a very successful day on the course and my lowest score this year.

That's good to hear OK, The GN502 440 version will play low, If you have the stock shaft now, some aftermarket shafts may send it even lower.

As TSGolfer mention... it is the driver head design. The 440 has the shallowest and highest CG yet of any PRGR driver. In tests in Japan it was constantly picked as the best driver to play in the wind due to its low piercing trajectory.

Glad to hear the clubs worked out and hope the score keeps getting lower! (^_^)
