justin1287 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Recently ordered some Epons that have not arrived yet. How do I tell if they are real or not once they arrive? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Epon-Forged-Irons-5-AW-Upgraded-Shafts/324389140888?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andew Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 They look real to me hard to replicate the endo look and feel in a knockoff plus the shaft labels are all legit too. You could just ask the seller to verify where he got them from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin1287 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 I actually paid $351 plus $30 for shipping for the 7 clubs which made them $55 per club. I just wanted some super game improvement irons and also some Epons. I believe the Shimada shafts are not cheap also. And yes, the plating is falling off the 7 iron which gives me some concerns that they are fake but I posted in many golf facebook groups and people have seen that happen on other name brand clubs. I appreciate your feedback and thanks for your input. The 5 and 6 are 703's and the 7-AW are 705's. Looks like the 5 and 6 (703's) have DG Pro shafts and their own grips and the 7-AW have the Shimada shafts and all the same grips except the AW. Are you saying you think these are fake?

donzelly Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Sorry i'm with Supo on this one. I have the 702, which I bought brand new and I couldn't imagine treating them the way those were treated. Also, why would you want a set of 703 and 705s? That does't make sense. It seems as if someone pieced together a random set of left over clubs and figured since it said Epon someone would buy it. If you could return them that would be great if not good luck.

Hutch Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Everyone to their own I say...They look real mate. If your happy, play away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyk3 Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I have to agree with both of my colleagues. I would never buy those clubs in that condition. Pre-owned Epons is like buying a Mercedes - you know the person who had them took great care for them as they are $$$. Obviously, this person did not care about his ownership. For close to $400 you can buy some great sets here on TSG Buy, Sell & Trade. However, if you are happy with them, then more power to you. Enjoy them and have fun every time you're out on the course. ⛳ Nothing really matters except if you're happy. Cheers TK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
