Well I got the 52/58 set if Epon Model X finished in the beautiful NiCr20 back in December from Tourspecgolf.com. They were very limited and works of art and at first I did not think I would ever play them. Jeff over at Forthegolfer.ca shafted them up with very smooth Nippon NSPro 1050GH shafts and adjusted them to match my lie specs. The sat in my home office for about 2 months before I decided it would be a waste to let these babies sit. People on the forum were raving about how great they were so I decided that I would hit them afterall. (pictured up top are 52/6 and 58/10 with my new Scratch PW... these will be the wedges in my bag this year!)

A couple of months have passed and with a few warm days here and there I've been able to hit about 100 balls with each wedge and what can I say, feel is amazing and the finish!!! NiCr20 is very durable. The wedges, cleaned after each use still look like new! Absolutely beautiful and easy to hit. What more can you ask for?? I'm thinking if the Inpakuto putter day goes well, it may be time for an Inpakuto wedge day. There are just way too many good wedges out there, from Epon, Fourteen, Gold's, Tourstage, Yururi and many many more. Putters and wedges, hey, short game is everything right? Read on to see what awesome shape the wedges are still in after 100 balls each!

Beautiful wedge design, simple clean looks and attention to detail and what a finish. Nice sharp grooves look as good as new even after 100 balls each!! I will report back when I hit 10,000 like idrive did! ^^

In order to truly test your irons, particularly wedges, you must go and find a outdoor grass range instead of indoor mat. You just cannot get the same feel on mats. We are looking forward to your next test.

Actually they were hit indoors and out. I was able to hit Durham Driving range during two warm days a few weeks ago. Though the ground was not in prime condition. Will continue to test...

First initial test was just feel and finish...

Unreal pics and great review. Glad you put them to hitting some balls, it would've been a waste to not let them see any action. I'm enamored with my copper X-models and I'm sure yours feel every bit as good. Maybe Epon will make some of those in a 60 one day.

An Inpakuto wedge day would be a very fine idea. You need to make that one happen.

My bro and I each have 3 Epon wedges (52/56/60) on the way from Chris - he is going the copper model and I am going the Technity NiCr satins.....all built to our specs. I currently use Bridgestone j33 wedges and have only been mildly happy with their performance and feel. Will report on how the Epons compare, and also update WITB when they arrive as there have been a few changes to my bag since the trip to Japan and the Tokyo golf fair.

Have not heard a bad thing about these wedges, so looking forward to breaking them in!
