June 27, 201212 yr comment_181809 looked at an old pic, T's pics from that angle makes the muscle look chunky but when looked from the sole angle its very narrow. its narrower than the aftour and is confirmed to be smaller than the aftour. must be super compact. cant quite picture it yet. Edited June 27, 201212 yr by Spoon
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181810 It is super compact, much smaller than the AF-tour but has forgiving aspects. A chunky muscle is fine as it means purer feel but the sole and top line are thin. Blog will be up tonight with lots of pics.
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181812 jee thats going to feel so so soft with hat big old muscleback. just not inspired by the designlooks ican picture how it will go in my head tho. butter...., Edited June 27, 201212 yr by supo67
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181813 i like that you guys keep saying the new blade is more compact but besides a thinner top line (which i prefer) this pic doesn't seem to express a noticeable size difference... with af-tour(left)
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181824 Here, not quite proportionate but you get the picture compared to the af tours
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181825 It is definitely small. The length of the face area is barely wider than a ball.
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181831 I should mention blog is up and has more pics: http://www.golftoimpress.com/epon-forged-personal-iron-limited-muscle-back/
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181833 It is definitely small. The length of the face area is barely wider than a ball. Wow ... Talk about needing to be on your Game!
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181834 I should mention blog is up and has more pics: http://www.golftoimp...ed-muscle-back/ i like what i'm reading so far...and i'm glad to hear there's less offset than the af-tours. i'd love to see side-by-side pics between these and other compact blades.
June 27, 201212 yr comment_181837 They are available for order right now. I have the iron right here and will snap pics this afternoon. How do I order? They are not listed in the Pro Shop. Price? Lastly, how do they compare to the Crazy Shafts blades in terms of quality, forgiveness and feel?
June 28, 201212 yr comment_181850 They are in the ProShop! Epon is almost sold out worldwide. Hows that for fast!!! I've got mine bent flat with KBS Tour Stiffs installed. They are expensive @ 2400 US but IMO worth it. It's not often something this clean and perfect comes out. http://www.tourspecg...mited-Blade-3PW
June 28, 201212 yr comment_181859 Anyone hit em as of yet? I can only hope they play as well as they look...a bit nervous about clubs that look prettier than they play ala my experience with the Zero driver
June 28, 201212 yr comment_181864 Il have one next week to test out vs the aft tour. My dad also got a set, he found it so good looking.
June 28, 201212 yr comment_181908 Mines arrive this weekend but I will be in Texas. Anyone hit em as of yet? I can only hope they play as well as they look...a bit nervous about clubs that look prettier than they play ala my experience with the Zero driver Speaking of the ZERO, It's actually not that bad. I took it out and my playing partner had the old US Spec 300 Tour by TM. We spent 18 holes comparing the two and the ZERO was more forgiving with less spin. I guess we are getting spoiled with uber forgiving clubs now days. I slapped in a DJ6 and although it's not long like my Ryoma its a fairway finder and has actually helped hone in my accuracy.

Probably true on the ZERO. In my case only one shaft available for me to hit that day (had just come out) and not a shaft that was kind to me in the zero combination:)
June 29, 201212 yr comment_181959 Ok my dad has hit them, he tried em with nspro 850, 750 no go! Forgiveness wasn't the issue he just could not elevate them. He's lost massive swingspeed in the last two years. Lost 2 clubs. With weaker lofts and less ability to compress he wasn't getting the Height he's used to. Will reshaft his 6,7 I with quadra 6501 which is a 70ish Gram graph shaft. If that does not work it's off to the FS section

June 29, 201212 yr comment_181966 Spoon, Does it mean this new blade goes not well with Nippon 850 & 750? Have you tried it? What's your or your dad's comment for this club? especially compare wiht the other club you have used? I have never had a chance to try Epon in the past, but i am think of having a Epon set. Due to its high price, if there is any information you can share with us, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your information in advance, DCCH

Thanks for your information in advance, DCCH my dad is around a 6cap last check but now probably higher. his ball striking has always been good and hes a very good iron player. the problem with the 850s and 750s is that he was not able to compress the ball and get height. finds the shafts especially 850 on the stiff side. his main gamers are 502s with quadra 6501 shafts. he actually liked the blades (gamed aftours 3 years ago) just not for his game anymore
July 2, 201212 yr comment_182082 Was kinda luke-warm towards these when the pics first surfaced, but after looking at the new pics in the thread and on the blog, I've completely switched. They are stunning!!!
July 3, 201212 yr comment_182124 if your ever gotta get my hands on one. if your ever in the roppongi area, contact my bro. you can try his set. SP/orange/blue combo in S.
