NEW egg 17* spoon.,

[supo]

the new 17* egg built and bagged this weekend , played it both days, result ..., fantastic .

wasnt sure what to do with this shaft, i had it in a yamaha driver , that i wasnt using, thought this is crazy i gotta have a proper crack at this thing and BOY did i make the right decision.!

my builder thought it might be a littlle on the light side at c9, i said i dont care do it if it is ill change it.

as idrive said"u can have this when u pry it from my cold dead hands!" it now sounds like a normal fairway wood i was hitting if off the deck not that far behind my partner s driving. with oodles more control, off the ground no tee. average shot 260ish plus . its sensational. the abiliity to move it is much better than the original. and its 17*,

its really sleek. looks terrific and no ballooning at all l. if ur undecided about getting one. have no fear ,its awsome.

its better than the original.[/size]

Isn't c9 way too light in feel? I am trying to build a d2

i thought it would be, and it prob is. ........, but i dont care . it works brilliantly. when i saw whre it was going . it doesnt matter. put it like this i hit a tour edge exotics 15* brand new 3 wood. look s like a shruken driver, its an absolute beauty . 3 yards behind the egg , and i smashed both of them that 2* differnnce and the egg was further. im not touching this puppy!

I envy you so much. I ordered one as soon as it showed up here. But still waiting....

Are you planning to get one with smaller loft?

THAST THE BIG QUESTION. i have the 15* and 18* old model with quadra fire express shafts in them.

love them both. id like a 13* in the new egg as a driver replacement , but i do hit the old 15* so well., and so low with the quadra in it.

i do like the new shape better it suits my eye perfectly. but the other ones are magnificent. i just had those built a cpl of weeks ago.

my buddy jsut shafted his 15* with a matrix hd-6.. we're at the range tom night so il see how that goes.

but

i m pretty sure i will soon enough.

Hey "supo" thanks for all the great info!!! So you're saying you're hitting the 17* past your 15* TEE, then you must be nailing your egg 15* close to your driver distance. Are you thinking the 13* will give you similar driver distance with more control and I would think another option out of the fairway for long par 5's. Just wondering.

[Jerry in China]

is 13 a little bit harder to manage, given much less spin? And also the spin will help the ball to keep up in the air. I am fine with 15 i guess, although i am hitting a 15 too high.

The waiting time is just annoying, annoying annoying....

Any idea when the egg coupled with the fobuki?

hey .., tks

it give me someting to do during those "non golf playing 50+ hrs a week"

my thinking was , ill get a 13* as a driver replacment , i wouldnt try and use it off the fairway. and id put another low launch low spin shaft in it. and use it to place balls a bit more consistanbtly on the short stuff when the tee boxes get tight.

the 15* old egg is plenty long but prob, 30 less than my driver off the tee , bec the ball flight is just so high. the new 17* is so much lower and hence prob the same length bec it rolls out more.

HOWEVER........................,

from the fairway the 15* with a quadra is an absolute monster. massive. its gets 30 plus yards more distance than when i use it off a tee l bec the air time is considerbaly less.

the new 15* i cant wait to use tomorrow, if its like i think then the 13s not an option, the 15 will be my driver alternate and the 17 the fairway wood. oh the choices the choices one has to make!

[gocchin]

Demand for the new egg spoon has been far more than PRGR expected especially with the Fubuki. They did not build enough at launch and we were pretty disappointed in the number we were allocated.

So far those who have gotten theirs are very happy with the performance.

S, sounds like you are as well!

[Jerry in China]

I am among the poor crowd.

[+TourSpecGolfer]

I'm totally cool with C9 myself. I can barely tell the difference in my hands to be honest.

Don't worry for those waiting for the new egg to ship, You guy's are getting it on the same schedule as people in Japan are. It's like your in Japan waiting for it.

I won't be getting mine for a while as the customers get first dibs on them.

you got a new 15?

[supo]

you got a new 15?

ok heres the EGG lineup at last nigths range sesshy bombfest . 3 of us wanted to try all the offerings.

old egg15* --quadra fire express 65 s

old egg 15*-- roddio si6

old egg 18*-- quadra fire express 75xsfw

new egg 17* matrix f6m2

new egg 15* matrix hd-6

the quadra fire 75xs was the stiffest in an 18* old egg. it gets out there a mile but u gotta belt it. its prob o nthe cusp for a SS less than 47m/s ( driver speed , ) if u have one faster than this tho u d be hard pressed to find anything better. an absolute brute!

the 65s was the lowest launching and furthest running. prob the longest of them all. not realy a club to move around , but point shoot and watch it go.

the new 17* was the best feeling im my eyes def a little higher launching than that 15*s and distacne a little way behind them, but noticeably longer and lower than the 18* i thought it to be a total all rounder. can hit low stigners a few high balls. ill use this now as a faiway wood and 3-4-5 ron repalcement even. LOVE IT

the new 15 * hd-6 was a little softer than the the f6m2 but lower in flight and workability was superb, not quite that brilliant feeling of the f6m2 but not far behind. the length terrific as expected with lots of run. can hit this offa tee ive found! one of the best looking clubs ive ever seen all those numbers et all. really bling! and it goes , but id like a differnt shaft in the 15. i have a stinger earmarked for my new 15* .

old egg and the roddio si6. , not as hard to hit as the quadras higher launching but not a balloon ball .

workability superb and feel fantastic. dont feel like u have to be dustin johnson to make this work. the quadras can be a littel like that, u cant smooth those out there u gotta go at the m every time. sometimes a little finesse goes a long way and roddio i find is utterly brilliant for this.

conclusion is ..., theres no point in me gettin a 13* ..., the 15* is pefectly adeqaute. . i def. prefer the new shape. but one of my buds like the old one better. proves not all that glitters is gold.

we all agreed they are all fantastic new old. they perform out of thier skins.

[Spoon]

nice pretty line up and amazing tests. you really did save us a bunch with all your testing and meticulous reviews.

either way they are all winners. curious to see what ends up in your bag after a weeks time. have they improved on

the sound of the new eggs?

oooh yea. ooooooooooooooooooooooh yea, they sound like a normal wood now . the only thing that MIGHT be a detriment to the new one that was mentioned ut was. that the face is VERY straight, balde like. , not rounded and typical. persoanlly i love this shape but he wasnt overly mad on it.

[MatthewC]

Great post! Supo you rock!

So how did you get all those Egg to test? I wish I was part of your foursome!

I'm another one of the poor ones waiting for the 2nd shipment of New Egg with Fubuki.... But, i'm not about to lose my position in line after hearing about your experiences!

in my eyes they are worth the wait, fy info theres none out there in used land either, i manged to get cpl bec some looooooooonatic bought both and didnt like them and sold them back after one range ssession swapped them for the new royal collections, the stig just happeend to be in the store when he walked in and said oooooh hang on a tic ill take those straight of the guy. there were a bunch of other japanese guys ooooogling them when he pounced. not sure if prgr made enugh of these! theres a few of the older modles popping up now which was expected but theres no discounts! prgr made a beaut here.

[gocchin]

I already got mine but I pre ordered in July!!

So far feedback from those who pre-ordered first and received have been very good...

The egg is also being featured in many reviews around Japan now and the feedback is very very good.

[Spoon]

i have one coming as well shafted with the stock m40 shaft. i wanted the fubuki ax shaft but they are harder to find than uranium:)

i am not the type to jump in the bandwagon with the egg spoons, i had the old one but did not like it one bit. but this new one just

sounds perfect. im so obssessed with yardage i could not resist.

hope the stock shaft is suitable. so i dont have to use all the back up shafts i already have for it

[ant]

+1 tho i'm on the other side of the scale. it doesnt matter. what matters is if *you* can feel the club good or not. everybody is different. there is no too light or too heavy a swingweight. its all manufacturing bs to standardize and cut costs coz certain numbers were found to suit average Joes and Janes ok.

i thought it would be, and it prob is. ........, but i dont care . it works brilliantly. when i saw whre it was going . it doesnt matter. put it like this i hit a tour edge exotics 15* brand new 3 wood. look s like a shruken driver, its an absolute beauty . 3 yards behind the egg , and i smashed both of them that 2* differnnce and the egg was further. im not touching this puppy!

[Jerry in China]

Haha,great opinion. And when you get used to some joe's sw, the rest will be either too light or too heavy

[ant]

doesnt work that way. you can play that sw for yonks and get used to it and make it work but if its not your swing weight the moment you pick the right one you will know.

have they improved on the sound of the new eggs?

C as I noted on the blog a few times the sound and feel are completely different from the first generation. Much much better. Crisp and more FW like.

I'm going to try and edit the sound videos today.

Yeah i heard. i have one coming. too bad its the stock m40 shaft. those fubuki upgrades are so rare

[Spoon]

hit around 20 balls with my new egg spoon. well what can i say, it is a vast improvement over the old spoon.

sound is superb and feel is very good. but what sets this apart from the previous spoon is its forgiveness and

radical shape. looks uber futuristic and the v sole works on tricky lie. i find though that the Epon ht feels better

to hit but both are equally forgiving. hit it in the range matt, off the tee and even from thick carabao grass

to simulate tight lies and i wasnt surprised how easy it is to pick up and launch the ball.

only drawback was the m40 shaft. too light and was launching the ball too high. i should have been more patient

and waited for the fubuki alpha shaft. oh well that is spilled milk. will game this on the course tom and do a shoot

out with the af202ht+ redboard shaft. i want to see which is longer amongst the two. both are pretty forgiving so

i will concentrate on length. i have a couple of shafts to replace the m40 in mind. i will keep it in the 60+gram range

region as i like my FWs on the softer lighter side.

mainly:

1. Oban devotion 65s. Mid launch-Mid-low spin

2. Oban Kiyoshi 65s. High Launch- Uber uber low spin. ( Tested this shaft on a 102 10.5 had a trouble launching it because of lack of

spin and wondering if it will work with the 3 wood.

3. Matrix Ozik f6m2. ( Got influenced by Supo67)

4. Gd di 6s. Have one for the driver but i am hesitant to cut a $380 for this experiment

5. Quadra fire express FW 65S. (dont have one but can get one)

mental gymnastics is very tough and i am going nuts trying to find a perfect mate for the spoon
