parputt Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I am getting ready for a new set and wanted to get some opinons on these 2 sets.Which would you buy given the choice.I had a Custom set of MP-60s one of the best sets ever owned but Epons with all the options are almost just as customizable as Mizuno.I was thinking Epon Af-501s 3 & 4 iron and the 5-PW AF-301s.?Both sets will be shafted with Nippon Super Peening Blue shafts if that helps.Opinons welcome.

SwingMan Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Why not the 501s all the way for an integrated set? That is more similar to the MP-52 in terms of forgiveness with the notch -- and the 501s are pure cb's from 7-PW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberdeenlad Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 ive ahd both and at present im using the 301/501 combo your asking about. i was custom fitted for the mizunos at the Scottish fitting centre, no expense spared with shafts and grips. I stuck with them for over a season and to be honest never got them going great. It might have been my swing but I was never happy with them but after spending all the money I did I thought id stick with them. It wasnt till I had one of the worst golf days in over 25 years playing that I decided they had to go. By pure chance I found guy locally who stocked Japanees imported clubs. the next day I book at fitting and after hitting many heads and shaft options went for the 501 4 and 5 iron, 301 7 to wedge. they are fitted with NS V90 pro shafts. To be honest Ive never looked back. The feel from a well hit iron is like no other ive tried and to be honest Ive tried a lot of iron sets!! Ive tried the 701 with eagle e21 shafts but not for long draw your own conclusions from that one ! I know id not swap back to the mizunos but thats just my opinion hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parputt Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Either way looks like the Epons rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberdeenlad Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 well i never went and said that !! was only giving my opinion ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parputt Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Your opinion was appreciated and only help to move me in the Epon direction which I was leanint to anyway.I had a set of Custom MP-60s so a new brand was going to get the nod anyway.Thanks again.

idrive Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Really tough to beat a custom built set on Mizuno's... unless you're looking at a custom built set of Epons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
