Drewrealty Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Epon EMB -the Monster Beetle. It is long and forgiving but takes getting used to. Just not for me. Bought it from TSG a few weeks ago, hit a few times on range and I'm sticking with my old ZR 460. Paid over $ 700--Would be over $ 900 if bought new with the upgraded Roddio shaft. Great opportunity if you are an Epon Guy. Will setttle for $ 695.--firm.

Drewrealty Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 What is the length of the EMB? I don't think it is 46 more like 45. It is at my office, I can check it out over the weekend and let you know. Email me direct if you want at [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewrealty Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) hey drew did you win this from our ebay listing?did it hit really high draw's for you? Hi TSG, Nice to chat with you. I did win this one and the other EMB with the Graphite Design SL5 shaft. I don't know what it is about this club but I just can't seem to make it work for me, maybe its the head, or just the shaft, but this is the third club/shaft I've tried. I do hit a lot of draws, some might be considered 'snaps' --too quick. I cannot get the distance out of this club like everyone else seems to be able to do. I play a TP Burner 10.5 with a Matrix XCon 5 shaft and it's longer and straighter than any of the three EMB's I have. I picked up an old Technity ZR 10.5 with some sort of high end Fujikura Rombax 5W06 in Regular flex which seems stiffer than the stock shaft for the EMB--which I cut down to 44.5 inches and its still too 'whippy' for me. The ZR I hit a little longer than my TP Burner but not as accurate, although I think that I could work with it. What I think would be best for me is the AF 101, ( or maybe the new Tourstagej Black 445, just need to find the right shaft. I sent Gocchin a bunch of info I got from my launch monitor session in the Avix Fitting Section, hopefully I can narrow it down. Kinda wish I didn' spend the $ 1500 on the 2 EMB's but I guess it's a learning process--just nowhere to try this stuff around here. I think I should have gone with an AF 101 and the Tourstage instead of the 2 EMB's --plus it's a tough head to get used to looking at and listening to, which I could do if I could get different more positive results. I picked up a set of AF 701 irons, love the feel, but again too many draws. went with the Nippon NS Pro 850 in Regular flex when I should have gotten the stiff, having a guy change them to the stiff. I think they will be great. Longer than my Wishon 560's and hopefully as accurate. Got a set of their KGX Wedges--love them--very accurate for me. That is why with the great results and great feel of the irons and wedges, I was totally NOT prepared for the results that I got from the EMB. Soryy to have rambled, but wanted you to know about it, am a good customer and hope you could shed some insight and advice for me. (^_^) Thanks Jim Edited April 12, 2008 by Drewrealty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) You are probably one of those players with a more 'active' wrist for playing a draw. I have the same problem with these new low profile, wide big driver like the EMB and Cleveland Hi Bore and have to adjust my swing accordingly. The design seems better fitted to a less wristy type of swing. I am also looking at a XCON 5 for a 460ZR head but would you mind telling me what flex you have and your SS? At the same time, what flex is your SL5 on the EMB? note: just read your other post on Axiv club fitting so no need to response on ss and sl5 flex. Thanks Edited April 12, 2008 by Duffer19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
