bogeydog Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Anyone hit these yet? What are the experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 They just came out earlier this month and we just put them on sale 2 days ago so I doubt many customers or members have them. Only Chris and Carlo (Spoon) can probably give good feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarintr Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Anyone hit these yet? What are the experiences? I would like to share my feeling in both of Epon Type. Boht of them hit easier . All of them very very fogiveness for all mankind. I saw EMS that farther and more jump out distance. also satify in shot make up. I should to make suit loft angle with my swing speed and my swing levels. That good choice for my enjoy golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 i have both ems 10.5 and 151 9.5* , the feel of the 151 is superb and has a nice thud comparable to the 101. face is a tad shallower than 101 but not noticeable. i find that those accustomed to the 101 will like the 151. i need more course use to give feedback. the ems on the other hand is awesome. for those that loved the embs forgiveness but not the sound, this one is for you. it is very forgiving and long. off center hits still went very long. shaft i have on it is an oban devotion which is low- launch low spin, i am swapping out the shaft in favor for a revenge which is mid launch and mid spin with a slightly lower kickpoint. will have feedback soon.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 They are both superior to the 101 & EMB in just about every way except when hit well I still find the 101 a hair longer than the 151. I honestly wish I could say I liked them better than the 460ZR of old though, that puppy just felt amazing and was more forgiving than the 101 or 151 due to it's shape in my opinion not it's MOI. The 151 sits very well, it feels better than 95% of the drivers on the market and it's pretty forgiving compared to other " player drivers " but not the most forgiving compared to others average tier clubs. When put on the launch monitor at a friends proshop it did OK but wasnt a stand out. Shockingly Yamaha came in the longest with best ball speeds while Geotech's GT455 came in second and third to the Callaway Legacy Tour. By the way it's the old Yamaha driver used in the testing not the new one in the proshop. I really wish I had the TourStage 703 in the mix but we didnt get it in time also I didnt have a Kamui on hand for the test either. The EMS is a big improvement over the EMB, feels much better, and it sets up very well also for a super forgiving type club however in both cases i feel like although it improves over the previous models by Epon it doesnt stand out against other drivers on the market the EMS tied with the Taylormade Japan Burner. The aesthetics are very good, the quality is all there so I would describe them as an evolution instead of revolution and for a club that costs over 1100 bucks it needs to be a jaw dropper. Let's hope they make a TOUR version of the 151 and EMS, with heavier head weights, bring back the ol 460ZR face, & add a behind the face technology like Callaway, TourStage, Taylormade, and Yamaha has. Then I think we may have a contender for the top spot. IMO if they follow those suggestions we will have a winner! I have to admit I am usually very biased toward Epon but Yamaha, TourStage, Callaway, & PRGR are next gen and a sign of what we will see in the future as far as technology and performance goes.

gocchin Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I really want to try the EM-S. I was a big fan of the EMB and even bigger of the 460ZR. But it is definitely true... so many good drivers out there these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEasy Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I really want to try the EM-S. I was a big fan of the EMB and even bigger of the 460ZR. But it is definitely true... so many good drivers out there these days! My only complaint about the 101 was that it hit the ball too high for a 9.5 driver. The same loft in the TS X-Drive 901 gave me a perfect trajectory with a comparable shaft. So, my driver for 2010 will be the TS 703 instead of the Epon 151. I'm debating between 9.5 and 8.5 on the TS 703, though. I'm leaning towards 8.5 as I'm expecting it to produce a little higher trajectory than the 901. Am I on the right track???

Can someone tell me whether i can get it in the loft i want? my uncle wanted a 12.5* but they did not have one. requested for a handpicked head and they were able to give me a 11.9* head. thats almost 12*. im sure chris can hook you up with one.
