PRGR New Shape Utility egg i+ to Go on Sale
Long distance performance plus high trajectory and ease
Tokyo – The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. announced today that it will begin sales of the PRGR egg brand
new shape utility egg i+. The product line comprises the #3+, #4+, #5+ and #6+ utilities with a choice of four
shafts (original carbon shafts) by head speed: M-43, M-40, M-37 and M-35.
egg i+ is an iron-type utility with the long distance of the NEW egg IRON being released at the same time
combined with high trajectory and ease. Compared with the NEW egg IRON, the loft angle of the #5+ and
#6+ has been increased 1º for higher launch, the club length increased by 0.5 inches, and the FP * reduced,
improving distance and controllability. The head adopts a hollow structure for a thoroughly low and deep
center of gravity, and the shaft design has a narrow tip for high trajectory. The head shape also makes it eas-
ier to set the club head toward the target. The egg i+ adopts the exclusive grip for the new egg, with an outer
diameter increased by about 7% compared with regular grips, which accelerates head speed with a more relaxed grip. The new grip uses high foaming rubber, which is about 20% lighter than regular rubber.
*FP or face progression, indicates the distance between the shaft center line and the leading edge.
The egg club series was developed with the concepts of not being bound by conventional thinking and giving
priority to distance and ease, with the image of smashing an eggshell. With the addition of the egg i+ together
with the long-shaft, lightweight driver eggbird and the NEW egg IRON being placed on sale at the same
time, the egg club series is pursuing superior ease and further distance.
