gocchin Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Took some pics today of the new prototype forge iron Alkaios from Vega Japan. Based on their V-201 iron, the Alkaios is a mid sized soft forging that has the face and back cavity completely cnc machined resulting in perfect weight distribution. The sole is also very interesting as the width is wider towards the sole and slightly narrower towards the toe. It has a very forgiving leading edge, some offset and a very small milled pocket in the cavity. There is not much info on this iron yet but Vega has said they will answer any questions we have.

ihatebogies Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Tario, did you by chance hit some balls with it? If so how does it compare to the Epon 701's you were playing? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I'm going to hit both the Vega and Honma today a bit to compare. Will post back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe295 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I keep looking at that third picture and trying to visualize why you can see so much of the cavity towards the toe. It almost appears twisted into an S shape sort of kind of, I'm fascinated to learn more about the playing features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 very minimalist design, i do not find it visually appealing but can imagine lots of people appreciating the design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
