on a related note, do we know if these will only be available through the current distribution network/procedures?

They look like nice clubs, but Epon will have to change their marketing strategy to give them a chance. The thing with Epon (and other JDMs) is that they are niche for a reason (i.e. quality = cost) and can get away with minimum marketing exposure due to the particular market segment they occupy. People, such as those on this forum, hunt down the best and are 'happy' to pay the extra cash. Would the standard TSGer want to buy a new set of 501s or get the latest 503s (or whatever the 502 replacement will be)? If Epon are aiming at a wider market with the RF line then they need to do a big marketing push to explain to the average golf consumer a) who Epon are b) why they should spend more on the RFs compared to a USDM set. The particular niche (without spending marketing $) of people who know about Epon, but won't find a way of trying them (either by TSG new/classifieds/ebay) would seem to be an even smaller market segment than they currently occupy. I'm not a hater, I love Epon stuff (I have 701s) and have nothing against the RFs as a good looking club. Just my thoughts..... :^)

I've seen a few of the RC JP104 fairways appearing used around the place. I understand that these are 'old' RC JDM models sold through RC USA, but was interested to know if anybody had thoughts on their performance vrs the current models? Are they a cheap way to get a decent JDM club or just an afterthought from RC USA?

Have a bump from me. This is soooooo sweet, if only I had the £!!!

Thanks all, should've jumped on the RCs in the BST!!!

I'm looking for a couple of wedges (50 & 56). The choice seems to be so vast (with no change to demo), so I'd appreciate any advice. I'm in the UK, so play on tight fairways have a handicap of 18 (but am a lousy wedge player), so would appreciate a bit of forgiveness in the the grind. What should I being looking at Yururi, Royal Collection, Kenmochi? In the world of USDM I generally prefer Vokey to Cleveland (prefer the heavier head and slightly lower standard bounce). Any ideas?

Hi All, Could really do with some help from people who know their stuff. I'm currently gaming a 905R 10.5 with a v2 S 76g shaft. I've had some good times with it, but am looking to move on to a more modern combo. Could somebody compare the V2 to the X-Con 6 (can't find anywhere local which has a proper X-Con 6 to try). Looking at the stats they seem similar, low torque, tip stiff and high launch? Is there anything else I should be looking at with similar characteristics of the V2? Thanks in advance

Just reshafted my Epons, any idea where/if I can get replacement ferrules?
