Jerry in China Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I got the Fubuki Egg Spoon 15 two months ago. So nice. I hit it so far, and solid. THe sound is just great and with a nice high tune. It was a no brainer. I step up to the ball, and just swing as I like, the club will meet the ball somewhere... I was so happy... SOmehow, now, I am doomed. I just cannot use this club. Always hit it thin... One of the problems in my guess is that the club feels so much lighter than my other clubs.... So i might release the club head earlier... Can someone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 you were fine with the club, now not anymore. something must have changed, are you aware of anything? swing change, equipment etc etc? what are the specs of your EGG and sw? there is a culprit in this story and the sooner you identify it the better:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry in China Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Nothing was changed... I bought the spoon on this website, just the fubuki version. THat is why I am wondering so much. THe only change might be.... I got my Epon EMS with GD AI-6, SR, and Akira head with GD Hybrid, for driver and hybrid, almost the same time I got the Egg. I felt the driver and hybrid a bit heavier at that time. That might change my swing and hit the ball harder. Thus now my feeling on the Egg is that the Egg spoon might be a bit lighter...

If weight is the issue, the Egg's lighter club weight in relation to your other woods might be throwing your tempo off. If you're swinging more aggressively, the shaft might not be holding up. You could try re-shafting it with a heavier &/or different shaft to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT i have to look shorter than normal to slow my tempo, and the resut is better than i expect EVERY time. i also choke down on it a bit and concentrate on that centre line. im sure if its good enough for lorana its good enough for us mere mortals. it certianly was for me. it only happend to the egg, i wrote about this a while ago, i was topping the blazes out of ball form the tee, bec i was swinging so fast. now it doesnt happen. see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry in China Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thank you so much for that info. I knew that once i get the tempo right, the egg is just a golden egg...

Jerry in China Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, it was so cold outside. What I did was keep my head and legs more stable, and longer take away. It worked fine. I do not know how far I hit though. Too dark to see..... Thank god, it worked somehow.

supo Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Great tip sir! I do remember that episode. Now all I have to do is find it to refresh my memory. it worked wonders for me in australia it was blowing a gale most of the time and i hit so many fairways down there with awsome results. the egg is a wondeful weapon when u get it sorted. and the major drawback with it is its swing weight to the other clubs , its lightness makes u top the ball a lot i was spitting chips for ages till i was "saved" i dont use it off the tee any more, i bag 2, 3 woods a lot of the time now the egg and the yamaha V 14* for tee shots.( this thing is seriously long as well ) but i cant hit it off the deck any where near as well as the egg. the egg is is a class of its own for that. bec of its trajectory being high, i can hit it comfortably shorter distances high like a 5 wood . a very versatile culb.

Jerry in China Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yeah. Topping is the problem. I did 108holes in 5 days with only 2 swing of egg. Each was as bad as it can be. Haha. Then I stopped using it. I only carry one 15 egg as the only fw. Thus, very tough game in that 5days. Thank you so much to save me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I stopped using it. I only carry one 15 egg as the only fw. Thus, very tough game in that 5days. Thank you so much to save me I would get some extra weight in the head thats what i had to do with the Epon HT which is light as well, idealy you want to match your Driver/ Fairway around the same swing weight if your driver is say D4 and the egg is around D0 you will have a constant battle to hit both well on the same day with the same swing, and puting a heavier shaft in could make it worse youl lose the feel of the head. Other option is to cut a bit off your driver or add a bit of length to the Egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Other option is to cut a bit off your driver or add a bit of length to the Egg i wouldnt go this route. if you are already fine with the driver leave it alone and fix the specs of the Egg. beats having to get used to your driver again. Since you know the culprit is the swing weight of the Egg then add weight to the head, but keep it to an amount that will not affect to much the flex of the shaft. if that doesnt work you will still need that added weight on the head and a change of shaft. changing shaft alone while maintaing the same length will not make you increase 4 sw points.

Yeah i think its better to add the weight to the head if you cant find a club builder who can do that then you can put those weights in the tip of the shaft, its not much use changing to a heavy shaft you would need something like 9g just to change the swing weight 1 point. I dont know why these companys are coming out with lighter utilitys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 dont know why these companys are coming out with lighter utilitys Because the Egg is JDM and most if not all JDM are spec at D0 to D1 (for the Japanese market) throughout the set including utilities. If you are looking for USDM spec on JDM gear, you almost have to custom it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt have to customize my 102 and it came out about D3 standard head weight i think where as the HT was going to come out C9-D0 stock from memory, i know the previous Epon Fairway was a lot heavier but that was made of steel not titanium like the HT. The good thing about Epon is at least you can order a heavier head i dont think you can do that with the Egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 For swing weight the simplest thing is to add a much lighter grip. Every 4g lighter the grip is you will gain 1 swing point. You can easily bring the Egg up to D3 or D4 doing this though the problem with this is the static weight decreases. If its a heavier club you want reshafting with a heavier shaft and as other users said adding tunsgten to the tip area will help or of course ugly tape on the sole.

During the 2nd round oh my gosh many topping incidents. I have to relax and slow down my tempo to much to sweep the thing like you said. Oh well , i better remember to that all the time.
