That's it...... they look identical. I have the Techinca "tour Spec" model (not sure what that means) and like them..... just curious what the differences are between them and the AF-302s.

Thanks guys.

The Technity's and the AF301's look the same but the AF302's are slightly different.

Thanks. So what is the difference in terms of feel, playability between the af301's and the technitys/type J's?

Also, any truth to the claim that the AF 301's are softer feeling than the Af Tours?

Technity's/301's vs AFTours.

My guess is that if you are not flushing the AFTours then the feel is not great because they are blades and are not as forgiving as the tech/301's. Someone missing the sweet spot a bit is going to get a better feel with the tech/301's. If you are flushing the shot, hitting the sweet spot right on each time the AFTours are as soft and buttery as anything out there.

I'm not convinced a mere mortal could tell the difference between the Technity's and the AF301's. I'll be surprised if anyone will be able to feel much difference with the 302's. In theory the AF302's might just be slightly more forgiving with their different design.

Right on, thanks for the help iDrive.

Technica Pro, Type J, AF-301 = Same iron, rebadged for global release

idrive is right that the AF-Tour could be perceived as harder because the sweet spot is simply smaller and harder to pure.
