Posted January 22, 201411 yr comment_219694 You only have 1 loft option... 7.5! PRGR is pushing the envelope again, we saw in recent years everyone going higher CG more forward, Actually Japan has been doing this for ages while USDM brands jumped on the bandwagon late. This Egg1 driver is all about distance and carry + velocity for big overall distance. It's got a slightly longer shaft with a very deep COG, a strong loft head and low torque shaft. This combo combined with a high swing speed of an athlete player creates a high launch angle with low spin. The face angle is square and it specs out at D2.5 7.5! calling all fast swingers, I'm intrigued with the concept of high launch low spin combined with low torque and very low loft are you? Did someone say shorter driver shaft length is better? Since reading Wishons areticle I've been going over all the new releases coming next month and no brands are going shorter, not even a little bit. This goes for USDM brands as well, while the length increase is less drastic in the states drivers are getting longer not shorter. I can't find any brand going shorter in length, maybe you guys can help me find one. I've been digging through all the current magazine articles on the effect of a longer shaft vs shorter and it seems the distance reward is a logical risk as center struck shots are not, are NOT affected very much by the added length. The difference is actually very hard to measure it's so small. Anyway it's not like this club is 47" its 46" and I'm second guessing cutting my 45.75" Messenger shaft down to 44". I did play it since and it feels like it tightened dispersion but it seems to go shorter, not happy with that adjustment as I lacked distance in the first place.
January 22, 201411 yr comment_219697 In terms of newer drivers getting shorter in playing length, the Taylormade SLDR TP measures out at 45.25 which seems about a quarter inch shorter than the normal 45.5" -45.75" that Taylormade drivers usually play.

I never really noticed TM going above 45" outside of Japan. Does anyone offer shorter than 45" lengths for 2013?
January 22, 201411 yr Author comment_219710 45" for me is normal 46" is long 47" is uber long 44" is short 43.5" is uber short
January 22, 201411 yr comment_219719 what shafts are available? please list results of field testing - along with results of SLDR field test
January 22, 201411 yr comment_219720 Was in play at Sony Open! http://golf wrx/forums/topic/952237-sony-open-2014-photos-wed-part-1/ I like the look of it D Edited January 22, 201411 yr by daamartin
January 22, 201411 yr comment_219721 Is this thing actually square or "square" like the Egg7 is (it's closed)? This looks right up my alley except again, I don't want to buy a driver that is claimed to be square, only to find out it's closed.
February 13, 201410 yr comment_220903 7.5 is way too low for my speed. Design of the head is interesting though.
February 14, 201410 yr comment_220937 hmmmmmmm i really like the look of this...... might give it a whirl
January 19, 201510 yr comment_235208 had to have this after he resounding success of the egg7. this was just too intruiging to pass up. 7.5* stock m-43 shaft ( which is GOOD as its the same one as the egg7 adn thats good!) not sure when ill be able to hit it but . its a really funky looking head pretty sure 99.9999999999999999% of purists wont dig this 1 iota. but for me its jut gotta be hit. detials to follow MUCH later.., Edited January 19, 201510 yr by supo67
January 19, 201510 yr comment_235213 I just want to know one thing.... if it's totally neutral because the Egg 7 was slightly closed.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_235214 Will this be the egg driver for 2015 or do they have a new egg driver for 2015?
January 19, 201510 yr comment_235215 i put in o nthe floor lined it on a line on the join in the flooring and it looked dead sqaure to me. the egg 7does look a bit closed but im sure its not. or id be hooking it , and 100% i dont hook it the 7 does look slightyl more closed (ish) than this thing.
