I think only the E600 was made at Endo based on the material, sharp edged tooling, and the tungsten sole infusion. The other more game improvement models and the drivers i'm fairly sure were made in China or Taiwan.

I test pretty much all of the top JDM irons and the AF301's were SOLID and in the bag for a very long time. I must have had 4 or 5 different sets I liked them so much. I consider them a players CB. When looking at the top line thickness in mm it is in the same ball park of players CB's also the face progression is too. What makes you think its for a mid capper when many Japanese Pro's opt to play much larger CB's on tour? The fact that I am able to work the ball fairly easily with the 301 Imo proves its a players CB to me. Perhaps you should take a look at the new Tourstage CB. .5mm thinner top line and less offset. What I do find to be a disappointment is that it went from Technica Pro 1, to Epon Type J, and now AF301 without a change in design. It's time for new model Epon! I too would be happier if they made it smaller.

I kinda agree with ya For sure the Tourstage 901 is the best looking blade on the market and the 5003 I would rank second but we can't make assumptions about performance or technology until we hit it against others with the same or similar shafts and specs. I am not sure if it has infused tungsten to lower the CG in the long irons like Tourstage models and IMO this whole upside down swoosh thing appears to mimic what Mizuno's cut muscle tries to accomplish. The 208KGX design simply doesn't work on muscle backs. The purpose of the wedge design is to raise the center of gravity and as we all know shorter hosel muscle back irons already have a high COG. It appears Epon like Tourstage are taking weight away from the top to lower the COG thus making the club more forgiving. Mizuno put the cut muscle almost center with the wider area out near the toe while Epon's method does seem more logical, placing the cut out closer to the top line and removing weight from the hosel area instead of the toe providing a better sweet spot location closer to center. What I do not agree with is that the MP-14 & MP-29 stack up against today's modern blades. The blade of today is much more forgiving and that includes the MP-33/32/37/67 Take a look at the sharp leading edge and CG placement way close to the heel in the 14/29. btw I think those old Mizunos were actually produced by Endo if I am not mistaken. Miura unfortunately doesn't have the ability to infuse tungsten into heads or do sharp tooling designs like Tourstage or Epon does but their shape, feel, and performance do acomplish the task at hand with flying colors.

Just recently it did. I first switched back to the older ZR460 by Epon for that slightly softer feel and more forgiveness, then back to the PRGR and now just started using the new Mizuno driver. It feels like the prior MP Craft but more forgiving. I am really itching to try the new Srixon Driver.

Not sure but the official release date of the AF TOUR is Nov 20th.

I have a similar issue with the KB's. It feels great, seems easier for me to hit well, but it has less distance than other shafts I have tested recently NS1150, NS999, & PX5.5 included.

No they can't we already asked.

Yes in Japan.

Custom MP-62's my friend.

Yes and in stock.

No begging for money in the forums sir...

Where did you hear about the Epon AFTour? TSG of course and almost half a year ago. That Japanese Blog is a JPGA Players who is sponsored by EPON. The images are of his actual bag, he is a close friend of the company I believe. We had the images and others over a month ago but the pics themselves are not to TSG's standard.

It looks like a flat grey but at certain angles it has a bronze tinge to it. The logo also appears different in various light conditions.

Master Sasaya's latest release the new SUS303 No.2 Putter is CNC milled in house at the Golds Factory HQ from a solid block of steel to 80% complete form. Master Sasaya then puts the remaining 20% of the finishing touches via precision hand grinding to round out edges and further enhance the shape of the putter. Each Putter varies slightly due to the hand ground aspect producing true one of a kind putters for the decerning golfer. The other models in the Golds Factory Line up are 100% CNC milled in house. Golds Facotory putters are not outsorced like other brands. They are crafted of the highest quality in Tokyo Japan. For more Gold's Factory USA Information please visit Golds Factory USA

Whatever you request the length is Tour.

The new Tourstage 901 Irons are part of a limited release that has already been sold out at the OEM. The 901 irons feature a new hybrid forged technology allowing internal weighting to be done within the one piece forged head creating maximum forgiveness. The best part it is it actually increases the pleasure and purity at impact. These irons are very soft and ooze of the best quality. It's finish is not chrome but a very gloss polished brushed satin look. With all these new drivers & square faces, forged 1020C irons geared toward every level, limited edition compact wedges, and apparel + bags that top them all It's easy to say that Tourstage knows what us Ho's really like. More PiCs to come...

The new Limited Edition X Wedge 901 by Tourstage has arrived. This is the continuation of the Maru Spec tradition of Bridgestone Japan offering a rare glimps of what the ProSupport tour players use. It also continues with 53/59* lofts yet it adopts standard swing weights at D3 with it's S200. It is compact with a stunning finish and would give the TVD a run for its money in the style department. Not sure If I will be able to hit this one guys for a review as only 3 sets have arrived. More Pic's to come...

I hear the same thing about the AFTOUR and custom finish options but it would be a mistake not to offer this model in a special finish as the majority of people who enjoy those cool tweaks are the hardcore golfer. Don't worry guy's I will work on them until they offer it.

It could be the ultimate Honeymoon period but off the start I do like the forgiveness and while the feel is a whole different type of soft I can't select which i prefer. We have MP-32's here as well. I love the 32, it Imo is more forgiving than this 901 iron but much larger. The Tourstage is a true players blade in line with the MB5003. Both the 901 and the Mb5003 are butter knives when compared to Mizunos muscle back offerings.

Its a tough call guy's I just hit the 901 vs the MB5003 and like the 901 better at this moment. I need to put KB Tours or NS999's into the 901 to make it a better match up but my first impression is " why do I like the 901 with S200 more than the 5003 with KB Tours ? ".

Endo Japan Sir.
