Posted July 24, 201212 yr comment_183301 http://www.golftoimpress.com/new-prgr-egg-spoon-hd-heavier-and-deeper/ cant believe i havent seen this yet. T, let us know when you get the demo! sounds like a dream as i found the original too light and shallow. i like this one, as others have commented 16-17* would be perfect. stew sounds like this will dethrone your venerable Inpres xv 14*
July 24, 201212 yr comment_183335 Seconded... since they are listening to users, this in a 16-17 please!
July 24, 201212 yr comment_183338 The thing that stands out for me is that they not only made it deeper faced and heavier, they actually changed the face material which appears to make it more hot. It's 0.81 COR is only surpassed by Ryoma's FW. Apparently most fairway woods average around 0.73ish for COR meaning there is much more spring effect from the Egg Spoon HD and Ryoma FW.
July 25, 201212 yr comment_183352 Are the Ryoma and new EGG legal? And why wouldn't all companies maximize the COR in fairways if it's doable? I don't get it...
July 25, 201212 yr comment_183355 i believe the Callaway ERC woods, specifically the 13 deg exceeded the COR
July 25, 201212 yr Author comment_183356 everything sounds good in paper pending the sound and feel. since its heavy i hope it feels the opposite of the ryoma!
July 25, 201212 yr comment_183358 my egg v2 is already stupid long.....if it gets longer, i wont need a driver...haha or ill need a longer driver !
July 25, 201212 yr Author comment_183359 my egg v2 is already stupid long.....if it gets longer, i wont need a driver...haha or ill need a longer driver ! good point, not really worried about distance, just want it forgiving and a breeze to use off the tee! we already know how it will be in the fairway. i wonder though if forgiveness is a little affected compared to V2 because of the deeper profile.
July 25, 201212 yr comment_183360 For any wood, legal cor is 0.83 and under. The smaller the head the harder it is to increase the spring efficiency which is why its rare for FW's to have COR's that high. I know for sure the ERC HOT drivers were non conforming but as far as I can remember the ERC FW's were conforming. I don't know of any mainstream Japan model that has been non conforming.
July 25, 201212 yr comment_183362 i may remember incorrectly but at the time, it was the only non-conforming fw wood * there are a few references on google referring to the ERC 3+ wood as nonconforming by USGA Edited July 25, 201212 yr by robbie

July 25, 201212 yr comment_183367 when will they be for sale at TSG? It supposed to be the end of July.
July 29, 201212 yr comment_183665 Got my hands on ver 2 eggspoon and used it for first time yday. Holy crapola what a club! Hadnt hit one, but heard good things and was blown away. Dont think I've ever hit anything as forgiving or long. Wasnt just me impressed - the two guys I played with BOTH offered to buy from me then and there. No dice! Have to say am dead impressed. Longer and more forgiving ver 3 is insane!! Agree with Robbie - means am gunna need a bigger driver...

Is this with the same managing steel in the current egg spoon but only thinner?
July 29, 201212 yr comment_183679 I can believe it. I have the EGG Seven and the ball just absolutely rockets off the face. Haven't seen anything like it... seriously.
July 30, 201212 yr comment_183692 Pls let thrm put a sensible players lie on these instead of the fricken toe pointing to the heavens what is that all about? the iriginal doesnt do it maybe that kind feedback to them MIGHT be usefull

July 30, 201212 yr comment_183756 Is this with the same managing steel in the current egg spoon but only thinner? They went with a different maraging face. Different material and slightly thicker in the middle to compensate for stronger swings but thinner towards the outside for more spring effect.
August 2, 201212 yr comment_183904 Spoon HD in the house! Noticeably deeper, considerably heavier. Slightly more compact thanks to the higher face. Face feels more hot! Just finished snapping pics... here is one to share!
August 2, 201212 yr Author comment_183905 thats nice. any more pics? can you do a comparison with old egg if you have it on stock? thanks T!
August 2, 201212 yr comment_183908 I will be posting a side by side comparo. There are some visual differences as well. A Matte black finish with no paintfill for the egg word.
