Comparison pics w/Epon AF-302

[bjp1]

Jeff (idrive) has been kind enough to let me demo the AF-302, which has been on my radar for purchase. The temps are just starting to climb here in Nashville (up to 40's). Hopefully, I can get this out to the range tomorrow or Thursday. Anyway, I thought I take a few comparison pictures alongside the primary irons that I gamed this past season, and the irons the AF-302's would be moving out of the bag if purchased (except the Mac Pro-C iron demo).

I gamed the J36 CB most of this past season, and compared it to the AF-Tour in a post on TSG. This setup just works for me, and has been consistently solid. However, they share bag time with the KZG ZO blades late season when I'm less concerned about forgiveness, and the AF-301 when the weather begins to turn.

My hope is to find the AF-302 more visually appealing, close in size to the J36, and less offset than the AF-301. I believe it does all 3. The lone caveat is what appears to be alittle more toe than I like to see at address. In comparison, the AF-301 appears to have alittle more heel, the 302 alittle more toe. The difference in offset is noticeable to me, in a good way. Next, I'll have to see how it does when it meets a golf ball.
