xchangmanx Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Is this a custom TSG work option or a Epon factory option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberdeenlad Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 is this a great paint job or are there any spec changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't think the finish on the face and sole will last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Love the look of this. Finish looks very similar to that of the KBS black wedge shafts. Absolutely beautiful and I do believe the finish would hold just fine. We are talking Epon here which is always top quality. Any chance of the seeing the fairways follow suit, Chris?

coops1967 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 and any rumours on a new Epon driver design / AF101 replacement? I did get a hint on that..... I've wondered what a nitrided finish would do - Fourteen did it for a wedge, looked great (kind of satin nickel) and rather than a plating it'll produce an extremely hard surface layer (anti rust too).... think it works with Titanium as well as steels...

BigEasy Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Wow, I could take one just for the look. Do they offer anything lower than 9.5? Edited January 26, 2009 by BigEasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarintr Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Wow, I could take one just for the look. Do they offer anything lower than 9.5? If they make loft 8 degree, it will not conforming from SLE USGA RULE. I sure that the EPON BLACK IP are more release ball and less side spin also lower trajectory for against the strong wind. Only -9.5 degree can do all best. sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veepjr Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Ok, I finally bought my first epon driver, here is a brieft review of this beautiful driver based on comparison with my Tourstage 460 GR (same shaft set up). Overall setup: I installed my most favorite shaft; speeder 661 tour spec stiff flex in it, lenght is 45.25" with D0.5 SW and 264 cpm (with golf pride cord grip). Look: The black finish is amazing, beautiful and very durable. I hit couple hundred of balls with it already and no scratch mark on sole at all, only minor ball marks on face. Feel: Comparing to TS 460 GR and standard AF101, this driver gave me more muted feel but still solid enough. Impact sound also mute while the GR is very loud. Performance: My SS is around 97 to 103 with quick tempo. My normal ball flight is high fade but this driver has reduced a lot of side spin and turned my ball flight to be more straight. Carry distance is around 250 with few rolls for normal swing and 260 when I tried more aggressive swing. So overall carry distance is 10 yards longer than my TS 460 GR, while the overall distance is 5-10 yards longer for AF101. In summary I am very satisfied with this the black beauty. It is not much much better and outperform TS 460 GR because I prefer the feel of GR more. But it is good enough to kick the GR out of my bag due to side spin issue, carry distance, and squared face. Lastly, it would be very cool if Epon offer new headcover for this driver (the hc is the same as old AF101).
