Mjr. D Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 They look nice. Supposed to be forged Stainless Steel SUS316 metal for insane softness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddmnkey Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Not much softer feeling then the 302's from a very well respected member. Less offset and a thinner top line then the 302's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooss Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I love Epon :) Maybe you should bring it back. We love Epon too. Plus the price offered by TSG was so much better than anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokidoki1986 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Epon always come out with nice products, too bad we don't carry it anymore here in TSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky3 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I always think of TSG when it comes to Epon....they were synonomous....... TSG did so much for the brand, guess times change...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yes times do change and can continue to change! We still love Epon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
777 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Do I smell a comeback??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankopotamus Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Having Epon back as a purchase option here at TSG, or anywhere else, would definitely be met with a warm welcome. However, there are still so many excellent options to choose from that I can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokidoki1986 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hopefully we can welcome back an Epon to TSG sometimes soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky3 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wowser.... Epon got a mention on the Golf Channel today, part of the PGA Merchandise show coverage..... showed a 302 head, they mentioned that Endo forge for a lot of manufacturers but 'keep a bit back for their own brand' Endo..... "you may pay a bit more for their technology"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miuramaniac Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Better if they weren't chrome IMO. Edited January 22, 2014 by Miuramaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky3 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Better if they weren't chrome IMO. they aren't... check the photo..... 'no plating'.......... theyz're just polished, so they can easily be dulled down to a brushed/ satin finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'no plating'.......... theyz're just polished, so they can easily be dulled down to a brushed/ satin finish Two options: chrome and non plated. I wouldn't say the non plated can be easily dulled to a satin. It'll rust fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong here but the Epon SUS316 are a soft stainless steel, no? Will stainless steel rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops1967 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Stainless steel can certainly rust - take it for a practice on the beach for a few weeks without rinseing the club in fresh water after and test it ;-) StainLESS stains less than 'regular' alloy steels but is not 'never'stain steel - marine grades will be most corrosion resistant, while food grade stainless can not be so corrosion resistant due to the need not to taint foodstuffs. Not sure why stainless steel would be considered to feel 'softer' than carbon steel, as it obviously isn't , at least before the thin nickel- chrome plating on a carbon steel head... But a golf club's feel is more than just the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coops1967 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've wondered whether the old copper underlay in old Mizunos was responsible for that... A slightly different sound. I'm only 46 but remember what a wound golf ball sounded and felt like... How about a new, modern wound ball with all the latest dimple aerodynamics and improved materials... But actually wound, not solid with a urethane cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d*ch Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I have been playing golf for a long time. My 302 that I got from TSG is the best set of irons that I ever have. Thanks to Chris for the bud Mackenzie blue bag. Golfers around here love my bag. They have no knowledge of TSG equipment in my bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzee Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 My set arrived, 4-p no plating, (I wanted the plating ones, my friend got it wrong...). thinner than the 302, but bigger sweat spot. low quality control this time, paint on 7iron does not meet epon standard... checked my friends set too, same problem. from my understanding, the no plating ones(400set darker finish), will be easily scracthed due to its material, but looks unique and have even softer feel. the plating ones(100set) have the same finish as standard af302. correct me if wrong!
