Here's one that you don't see every day and may not see for a while after it's gone. I was fortunate enough to track down this 420 and her baby brother Epon 380 Technica driver. I prefer the 380, but only by a small margin as I just get along better with smaller sized drivers and shorter length. The 380 is at 44 inches and the 420 is 44.5 inches. Too me the 380 and 420 heads offer the best of the both worlds, providing the feel of a sub 460cc head and the length to keep up with modern drivers

The club is shafted with one of Fujikura's best driver shafts, the 671TE in stiff flex.

Because of the rarity I am asking what I paid for club head and shaft, asking $750 obo. I would consider trades for a Ryoma 10.5 driver, or something comparible, but really mostly interested in a Ryoma as I haven't had the chance to try the legend out.

Please just pm with any questions or offers. Thanks for looking.

So it seems like trading is the way to go. Since I have a 380 already just opening it up to driver trades from Yamaha, Ryoma, jbeam/crazy, romaro ray, kamui, other Epon models, domestic drivers with a crazy shaft?

That head looks to be in fantastic shape. Good luck.

I dont know much about this, but how rare is this? How does it perform?

rare as they come in terms of drivers. i have never seen this and the 380cc come up

except from me:)

How's it Perform?

How come they are so rare?

How come they are so rare?

BECAUSE these were made in smaller quantities than todays epon drivers.

back then epon was much smaller than they are now and mostly produced

for japan market.

How does this head feel compare to af102, 152 or zero? Or maybe Yamaha? Thx.

Sorry i can't compare to current Epon models. I've only hit the 460zr and the 380. It feels less springy than the 460zr. If you like the looks of sub 460 drivers IMO this is only second to the 380. Compared to the 380 the 420 doesn't want to go left as much.

Pm sent!

Feels softer than the 102 or 152' those are metallicy. The zero is in a class

Of itsnown unfair to compare the zero to anything else out there..

This 420 feels in between. Like my yamaha 405cc from 0506.

WTT with an EPON EMB driver?

Thanks for the offer, but looking to try a different driver.

What about performance? How does it fair with the more modern drivers? Trajectory, forgiveness?

it can hang with the modern drivers, my old 380cc was one of the longest drivers out there.

trajectory would depend on the shaft. i have had all the modern drivers as of the last year

YET choose to use an old yammy from 05.

sometimes current doesnt mean superior.

I think I'll have to pay Spoon a commission, but honestly he's forgotten more about Epon than I'll ever hope to know.

I like sub 460 heads so the 380 and 420 win for me on the feel factor. They seem to play very similar and launch the same. The 420 seems to be more square to my eye, but I need a little draw bias from the 380 for my swing.

They are very close and that's the main reason to move one. Would like to diversify driver holdings if possible.

Just throwing it out there at $600 obo?

Open to trades if someone wants to try a classic epon head.

Forgot I still had this up. Any driver, wood/hybrid, or putter trades out there? Happy with the 380 so if any one wants to trade for classic epon let me know.
