Spoon Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) well ive had these a yesterday and assembled them just in time for my game today. the tastiest copper clubs i have seen. ive never owned an epon with a custom finish this is my first. the cavities look like chocolate! i want to sink my teeth into them. i specified the heaviest heads they could find, built em up with progressive swing weight and hardstepped nspro modus 3 with matching 2G red stickies! sick combo and i had the shafts spined, surprisingly they all align with the tip of the modus logo at the 6 ocklock postition. thats what the black/silver stickies are for. 4 iron is shafted with nspro 950HT shaft which is the same as my 901 driving iron. i plan to interchange these two clubs depending on my mood. will take more pics outdoors where the copper finish should stand out.

Let us know how the game went, oh & that's the shaft too i just realized lol. these were the modus 3 hardstep experiment i was talking to you about. hopefully they will be more tight compared to last time. they seem soft when i waggle it but then again it could be the grips as they are velvety soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankThong Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Congratulations! Never thought about chocolate but now that you mentioned it, I'm gonna go home and taste it later. Hehe. Those brown and gold ferrules look good with the copper; I can see why you'd want to baby them, dressed to the hilt! Enjoy them and let me know what you think about its performance. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Incredible. How were able to get the "Epon" ferrules? I asked for those f**kers and was told they don't do them anymore. BULLs**t! What are those black wraps just under the grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops1967 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Very nice.... good to see they still have some of those ferrules, they go well with the copper-chrome. Outdoor pics please when done... see some of the flaming. and don't forget pics of a face view - love the matte face with chrome-copper and so on. I was thinking my next set may go back to regular nickel-chrome... but very very not so sure now. Luvverly. Coops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No first love or honeymoon Stage here as I have owned these irons in satin long ago when they first came out, just wasn't good enough to use them. But after gaming some players cb post injury like the onoff 247 and the yonex nano vs these seem like a walk in the park. The cavities actually look sig bigger than my smallish yonex irons. Now these seem real easy to hit, larger sweetspot and Way longer probably 1.5 clubs even though the loft difference is only 1deg. I attribute these to the well engineered heads and the shafts. I noticed some loss of distance with the yonex due to the higher flight of the nspro 1050, with the modus I was able to get so e of the distance back and gain more. I think I am hitting these as long as my 5o2s which have. Pw loft of 44 vs 46. I guess that the yonex were very good training clubs and have improved my ball striking significantly. I don't think I would have gotten the same results had I jumped straight to these. I owe a lot tl the nano vs but frankly after these they pale in comparison. I got my clubs bent 1deg flat in all irons and had the lofts as is. So far so good nothing funny with any of the irons. Need get used to the shafts as they play different from the super easy 1050s. The m3s are easily lower launch yet carry more once they hit the apex. Hard stepping was a good idea. Glad I got that right. Just have to get used to the new distance gains. I ain't complaining. There is some beautiful wear after 1 round and I had an embarrassing moment in the range. I was so focused with my 8 iron after striping it consecutively for some time, I got cocky and tried to do a punch draw and skulled it towards the toe. There must have been some sand on the range ball as there was scoffing on the shiny part of the toe. I can clearly see it. Hahaha, that will forever be a reminder to focus on every shot. Kinda neat. I kind agree with frank and not baby these clubs, not yet though il use head covers for now and once they get broken in I will play em naked. Not anytime soon though. Love them @mjr D. I got these brown ferrules from another epon distributor in Taiwan. They are indeed sold out everywhere most especially in the factory. These were leftover ferrules from the copper 208s, they were the only ones to come with brown and gold ferrules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving from Miura 501s, I also found the Epon 302 to be easier and more forgiving, but definitely hitting higher. Could be the shafts, probably the shafts. Did you find the coppers to be softer than the satins? I had a similar incident with the SDJ. I was perfectly shaving ball after ball when I was testing it, leaving skin in the grooves and then I shanked one and left some markings at the hosel/heel end. When I cleaned the markings, the hosel/heel marks just wouldn't come off. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First chocolate, now al dente, you're making me hungry. So did you mean that the satins were 'firmer', 'crispier'? So are the coppers softer than the satins, a lot, a little?

So are the coppers softer than the satins, a lot, a little? you have it the other way around. the stock finish is softer. not by alot. very miniscule but noticeable to those that have tried both. in short they are still very soft by forged standards. even softer than the af tours in regular finish.

Whoa, let me get this straight, the satin and NiCr finish plays softer than copper? That's a revelation. I'd have bet all my money that the coppers are softer, only question is how much!

I am down to only one Epon in my bag so perhaps it is time for me to change Avatar too and I am in a 'slump' anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
