  1. whoever bought these pls update us on how finish goes thru time:) i would want to do these to one of my iron sets
  2. I like the feel of the 203 more thats a given. As for forgiveness due to its design and height The 202ht will be more forgiving
  3. i don't know the specs of the stock shaft, I'm currently gaming a motore speeder f8 which is mid launch mid spin.
  4. yup it is a mini 102/103 for sure. i think better players will like this club a whole lot more due to compact size and height (frames the ball better) than Epon's previous woods. some thought they were mediocre compared to what was available. i loved the 201 but they werent the most forgiving. 202HT was very forgiving but was erratic off the tee due to the shallower profile. now this comes out and addresses all the issues of the past. Corky is correct based on specs the Face, Crown and hosel are made of pure Ti titanium which makes the feel somewhat unique. spongy, springy, soft come to mind but others will have different perceptions with regards to feel. here is the spec sheet from the website
  5. Very different sound is very solid almost muted and with the motore speeder 80It makes the iff feel harsh. Others may describe it as soft. Completely opposite Gamut as the iff. Jbeam 425 epon zero but in a 3 wood package, does that make sense? Maybe the height? I would not say its bulbous, just muscular. Reminds me of the crazy f19 woods. Il have pics Together with the yammy which i already find small and compact. Stay tuned.
  6. Heres a pic of the 5w next to a 460 head for comparison.Its way smaller than my yamaha iff which is already small!
  7. Ended up getting the motore speeder F80 ehich is 85 grams stiff Untipped in my 3w and a tipped rombax proto P95s for my 5w. Very very impressed with the fujis. My first forray with them in FW woods.
  8. What do you want to know? Have 3 rounds with mine. Different from typical epon woods This one is small and compact. Deep too reminds me of the smaller RC heads circa 2008. Very different from the larger flatter Woods coming out today. Feel is different As well almost reminds me of the zero but more Solid. No tinniness at all. Its pretty deep too And the 5w is almost like a large hybrid. Here are pics.
  9. well i will have the 425 soon so can chime in. the 435 is crispy metallic feeling but so used to it i don't give it a second thought. definitely one of the more forgiving drivers I've gamed as of late. the 425 i have tried years ago and always am reminded of the first time i hit it. it felt dead and mute and thought i mis**t it but hit it very long and straight. come to think of it reminds me of the foaming nitrogen in terms of sound.
  10. i have the new 757 and had the z9003 type 7 and will compare the two. there is a di9TX out which is super super low spin!
  11. i picked up a 425 the winner of the two will be a keeper.
  12. Maybe the ones i had had the wrong loft. The one im gaming is a legitemate 10* paired With heavy shaft and it works now. Dont care for feel but undeniably the distance Is there.
  13. For hybrids id choose romaro type r or ibrid. Best hybrids in the jdm world at the moment.
  14. i like this one a LOT! what is the head weight on this bad boy? is it possible to have a 360 gram putter like this without sole weights and only those round orchiallum things but with a pz milling?
  15. wow. thats cool he can do that. looks just fine. this is the best MAC putter he's created imho. lucky new owner.
  16. the pw is the most difficult club in my bag to hit to be honest its like i freeze and have no confidence. much rather hit a knock down 9 which usually leaves me long or short depending on wind. so i am contemplating going to a wedge wedge in either 46/48 or getting an aftour pw bent to 46/47
  17. i could be gaming the perfect set of wedges today, gone tomorrow for something less stellar repeat at least half a dozen times a year. sound familiar? and not only talking about wedges. thats our passion, thats our vice. clean fun.
  18. i like your style! but have to agree with you that wedges are my vice just as much as shafts but wedges take the cake. always itching always craving for more. the difference between you and me is that i pass them on to someone before i get new ones. i seldom have two sets at any given time. BUT what i have gathered thru the years is that i am better with a 2 wedge combo than a 3. dabbled with 50/54/58 and 56/59 in recent months but am now back to my 52/58. my gap anywhere from 50-52 but currently using 52 with moderate bounce 10-12 is good for me especially in my lush fairways. i have learned to dabble and use pw in such a way that I'm better of moving to a rico suave 52 instead of always hitting fat shots that disturb worms with those full 50s. i like a heavier shaft as well. does not have to be high kick but my favourite as of the moment is the NSPRO WV125. just cupcakes with lotsa feel. alternatively couple of 8 iron SP blues are second choice. for my sand and lob i have switched to a 58. ideally id like this to have 12-14 of bounce for bunkers and delicate pitches from the fairway and rough. i could never have used this before but recently learned to use the bounce of the club to do all the work. i must say i will never go back to a low bounced wedge again. golf is hard enough and using the bounce makes it just a tad easier. i no longer use a lob wedge, I'm fine with my 58 and can open it up making it more bouncy and forgiving. check youtube for how to use the bounce of your wedge. has helped me a lot. ive had rc db protos, crazy toyos, kenmochis, bolds, yams, yururis, miura 5000wc and amonst all of the lot my favourite by far were the miura 5000wc. I'm currently using Epon 213 std 52/58 and can honestly say that they are the most forgiving wedges Epon has made. may not appeal to the die hard wedge fanatics but i sold my bolds to get these and am very happy with them. i just wish my 58 had more bounce.
