corky3 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 So my Epon 302s turned up today and here's my impressions: 1. Man these are beautifully put together, nicely turned ferrules, clean and shiny heads, grips on straight and perfectly aligned etc. 2. the offset looks perfect to me 3. the size and shape of the heads are far better looking at address than I'd expected, even the PW (usually the ugly sister of the set) is beautiful. 3. the No 1 grips are a) the correct size for me and b) feel & look much better than I was expecting(had originally wanted Iomics) but these seem even better to me. 4. They were better packed than any set of irons I've ever had delivered, foam separators, individually wrapped heads, shafts protected with more foam. 5. The spec sheet and letter from Epon was a nice touch. bad points. 1. The grips really smell! It's a kind of solventy/chemical smell so maybe it was the solvent/grip tape or something but hey I was already high on the looks and now .... well I'm just high! Specs 4-pw NS Pro super peening red stiff, No 1 grips, std loft and lie. Hopefully I can do these some justice.... if winter ever ends!.

idrive Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Congrats... it appears that you have entered over to the ______ side. :) What a high. New killer Epons and solvent. You think that's good wait for the high you get flushing these beauties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golf4fun Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Nice! Got mine with the orange peen about a month ago, only got 2 rounds in with them but they felt awesome! Wish I would have got the Nowons, have one on my new Kamui driver and really like the feel, I just wonder how they hold up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Epon 302's are some of the best if not the best irons on the market today. I'm happy you enjoy them, the polish of the instal and the QC is Endo at its finest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 looking forward to hearing some reviews, these sound like some really good sticks. also noticed a lot of guys have been using super peening shafts. these are pretty old shafts but feel great with nice heft to it, any reviews and how's the combo with the 302's?

+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I just orderd a set of AF-502's with Crazy The Longest Yard Shafts in Stiff as a personal set. I will of course take pics and let you know how these high end graphite shafts work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky3 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 yeah the super peenings work well with the epon heads. i have shafted two sets with the blue and my clients swear by them. i find them a bit heavy but am comfortably happy with the reds. they play like a heavier brother of the 1150 with all the friendly characteristics nippon shafts are known for I agree.... for me though the heavier weight has reduced my 'flash speed' , which was a goal for me without going to a really heavy shaft. Yep they are smooth, no loss of distance but the trajectory is lower than the 950s I had before(not sure if that is or isn't a benefit... time will tell). Oh and they are less 'Satiny' than I was expecting having used the super peening putter shafts, these are in between satin and full chrome to my eye..... don't have a preferance either way. So far so good, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone. I'll try and post some further thoughts/findings later when I've got some rounds under my belt. The Honeymoon is still hot and eager!
