Blader-X Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Oh Chris, now why'd you have to go and do that for?!! Now I might have to change out my current driver head. Well I guess I could use a new one!! That head is absolutely beautiful. You got give us more; specs, availablity, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2_2 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Agreed, that was a surprise! For both this driver and the bag, we're seeing a bit of black and gold, not something I would have custom ordered, but it looks pretty nice. Of course, we will all be looking forward to a review!

Phillip Alexander Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Never really liked the EMB or other manufactueres square drivers However the traditional shaped Epon's are simply terrific Edited January 23, 2008 by Jack lives here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkb3245 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Wow....is Epon the TaylorMade of Japan? They seem to come out with a couple of new drivers every year...... I do like the looks of them, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Wow....is Epon the TaylorMade of Japan? They seem to come out with a couple of new drivers every year...... I do like the looks of them, however. Actually the EMB is their first new driver in nearly two years as the Technity and Forged 460 are technically the same just cosmetically different. They found a way to actually increase the spring effect (usga conforming of course) with a thicker stonger face than the 460. There's a wider perimeter on the AF-101 and increased MOI on toe and heel hits. Horizontal MOI: 460: 4200 AF-101: 4300 Vertical MOI: 460: 2592 AF-101: 2922 (for comparison's sake the forgiving high MOI JPX E500 is 2680) The AF-101 standard head weight is also two grams heavier than the 460 at 199g which will help achieve higher swingweights.

Cool.....thanks.....I'm by no means a JDM expert (or even novice)....it just seems there's always a new Epon offering. I'd love to try one, just a little hesitant to drop the coin not knowing how they will perform for me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice1969 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I don't have an Epon driver yet, but by judging by their irons, I took all my irons out to Flea Bay. Nothing compares to solidly hit ball against the face of a Type J iron head. The softest, smoothest feeling ever. I needed to keep my emotions under control, once a hit those irons for the first time, since the wife was playing with me. I understand their are expensive, but if you can afford them, the are very hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe295 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Now that's something to get excited about. I can't stand square headed drivers, looks too much like sticking a shaft in a square fruit cake and sound like the explosions inside my head after drinking all night. But this beauty is worth tipping the hat and holding the door open for, heck I might even put my coat over the puddle. I like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
