As a golf club enthusiast and a bit of a tech geek, this club has been on my radar since its recent release, and I finally got the chance to take it for a spin.
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: it’s non-conforming. That means it’s not legal for official tournaments, but for those casual rounds with friends where bragging rights are on the line, this driver is an absolute blast.
So what’s the big deal? PRGR has crafted this driver with an ultra-thin face design that acts like a trampoline for your golf ball. Seriously, the ball just rockets off the face. The COR (coefficient of restitution) is off the charts—exceeding the standard limits—which basically means more ball speed and longer drives.
One of the things I love is that PRGR uses DAT55G, which is the best material to use for non-conforming faces. It allows you to have a very thin face with a reasonable amount of durability.
They’ve also nailed the weight distribution, giving it a high moment of inertia (MOI). In non-tech speak, that means the club is super forgiving. Even my off-center hits went farther and straighter than I expected. It kind of feels like the club is correcting my mistakes as I go.
It’s definitely longer and easier to hit than nearly every driver on the market. It’s a bit louder due to its dimensions and build.
On the course, the Super Egg feels explosive. There’s a satisfying sound at impact—not too loud, but enough to make you grin every time you tee off. I won’t lie, seeing my ball fly those extra yards was a real thrill.
This club is a bonded hosel. Japan is not 100% on the adjustable train, and I am thankful this is the case, as going adjustable hosel or not should depend on the design goal.
Who is this for? Someone who swings under 100 mph so that the face does not crack, also someone who does not have excessive amounts of spin. One of the things that this driver does so well to optimize distance is add a little spin, which makes sense as the type of player who will purchase this usually swings on the slower side.
I spec’d my demo with the stock SR flex in the lowest loft they offer, 10.5°, and after a bit of trial and error got her dialed in and was able to produce longer drives than my gamer while swinging slower. This is what I loved most about the experience of the new Super Egg.
So if you are more aggressive, your bad shot is a hook, and you want to have fun and build this for your attributes, then I would yank the stock shaft, hot melt or lead tape the toe side for less of a draw bias, then throw a lower launch and spinning shaft in it. Figure the new Tour AD GC might be a great match.
I know some golfers might turn their noses up at a non-conforming club, but honestly, golf is about enjoying yourself. If a club can add some excitement to your game and maybe help you outdrive your buddies, why not give it a shot?
If you’re curious and want to try something different, the PRGR Super Egg driver is worth checking out. Just remember, it’s all in good fun and not for official play.

It’s non-conforming so why would anybody but the oldest folks even look at this thing
