panicmotion Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 hey guys, i've seen some of the prgr fw woods being sold here and there and it seems the previous gen is somewhere in the $250 range and the current gen somewhere in the $400 range. i've read some of the comparisons between the two, but i wanted to get some feedback from the people here that have gamed both. is the price difference worth the changes between them? from what i gather they're both distance monsters, with the latest one having a lower spin rate. i'd like to bag the egg spoons, just wondering if the only reason why the current gen is more expensive is because it's newer. if that's the case, i may just go for the last generation. aesthetically speaking, i prefer the look of the newest one. thanks!

gocchin Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 There are so many posts on the forum comparing the two. As you said both are distance monsters. They both launch higher but the older one even higher. The sound and feel of both are very different as you probably saw/heard from the post I did on the blog. The newer model is also a lot more shallow meaning the older one was better for teeing off. Of course the newer club will cost more as it holds more value and is still being sold as new. You can't go wrong with either as long as you don't mind the odd feel and sound of the first generation (I don't mind it because it simply performs). Recently I've been teeing of with my egg more so I find the first gen in my bag but I also own the equivalent loft in the new gen which is very easy to hit off the deck.

panicmotion Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 i tried doing a couple searches on this forum for this exact topic but they came up empty. spoon mentioned how difficult it is to hit the newest one off the tee so i'm wondering if i should go for the earlier one. however, is the newest one leaps and bounds above the old one as far as it being easier to hit off the deck? if it's not a major difference, maybe i should just opt for the older model.

FatMan Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 There's actually quite a few posts. Here's a couple: http://www.golftoimpress.com/prgr-2010-new-egg-spoon-intial-impressions/ http://www.golftoimpress.com/prgr-egg-spoon-side-by-side-comparison/ http://www.golftoimpress.com/prgr-new-2010-egg-spoon-px-03d-review-and-sound-at-impact/ I haven't tried the newer one but, you could always tee it lower since the Eggs are higher launching anyway.

jamnguy1 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Having owned both, I would prefer to play with the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 spoon mentioned how difficult it is to hit the newest one off the tee No issues here but I have not hit the older version. My frame of reference are the TEEs. I do however have to tee it lower than with the TEEs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panicmotion Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 do you guys have it with the stock shaft or did you all do upgrades? curious to know if the stock shaft is good enough... i think i'm leaning towards the newer one. some have gone up for sale on this site but they're stiff flex and i'm a slow swinger. i'd need R (m-40). thanks for all your input!

I'm playing my EGG with the stock M40 shaft which is surprisingly good. I wouold not say its the tightest but I suspect in my case its my swing (surprise :-)) and that I am probably inbetween flexes but am choosing distance over accuracy for now. That said, its not like its next fairway wild but this is long dude. Try it with the stock shaft first and coming from a traditional shaft ho, that says a lot.

Eca Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I don't even use a tee with the previous gen if the tee ground is lime a fwy. I like both and having been used to the sound of the previous, I didnt worry about the newer. Mine has the ilima 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
