epon 101 VS 102

[supo]

Sat game was with a cpl of mates, nothing serious so the bag was FULL of gear.

the drivers i limited to two .

EPON 101 9.5* ---------- diamana stinger 70s

45 x 319 x d2.5

EPON 102 8.5* ------------ quadra prototype 75 xs

45 x 324 x d3

9 holes with each,no mixing . swapped at the 10th.

wasnt driving the ball that well on sat was hitting a lot off the toe all day.

which for this experiment isnt bad thing actually...

great to see how they played when the A-games not in the bag.

used the 101/stinger fornt 9.

6 drives on a tight and long driving track.

hit 3 of 6 on the short stuff 2 were less that a foot in the rough one was a 2nd cut

over all not a problem what so ever. every shot ended up perfectly playable.

toed 1 heeled one middled 4

distance was fine, was windy and got the ball to pierce the wind very nicely

lower shat than id expected actually.

bit of roll lots of carry

the stinger in this head is a billion times better suited than in the 102

dont ask me why but it is.

got the ball to turn slightly in both directions when needed, just a smidge

didnt realy want to swap this club over at lunch but that was the exercise.

feeling was super. very electric tip heavy , canfeel the shaftsnap straight at impact.

great feeling , performing club.

id give this a 9.5/10

the epon 102 quadra proto 75 xs

has been my stable club for a few months

however not hitting the ball well auguered very poorly for me on sat with this club in hand.

the epon poroto is the more solid of the two drivers , its heavier ,and more "weighty" at impact

the ability to move the ball is severly diminished , its pretty much point shoot, very percing, driving shots

the extra weight makes it essential to turn ur hands over otherwise ur going right all day.

it didnt slice it was just a block everything went right into the rough .

if u dont got yr big guns with ya with this driver ......ur gonna spend the day bounding down the right side of " the hurt locker."

when u DO have the cannons on tho., oh boy, aint much better.

the 101 is the easier and more consistant of the two. esp miss hits

off the centre u can split it , i think the 102 head is better and longer.

the 2 combos as are are just perfect as they are.

the 102 is the longer and more solid the 101 is more workable andbetter feeling

the 102 is more piercing the 101 def higher, but abslutely no ballooning what so ever.

just more carry.

if only one of these?

id have to plumb for the 101 stinger bec its easier to hit consistantly and bad swing days arnt going to leave u chopsui.

on big days tho id play the 102 any dayof the yr.

both utterly sensational sticks.

the 101 get it bec its easier..............,

How do the yamahas stack up against the epon in your opinion? That would be interesting. Can't imagine anything feeling better than the yamahas.
