October 9, 201212 yr thanks for your help like them both may come down to price .... my friend is pushing the nike vrs forge ... trying not to complicate things
October 9, 201212 yr like them both thats the problems maybe cost will be the deciding factor ... friends recommend the Nike VRS forged???
October 9, 201212 yr Come on, you're a Dr. Would you pick a surgeon based on price? Any given day, Epon beats Nike hands down...
October 9, 201212 yr This is the first time that I heard anyone choosing between Epon and Nike. This is most odd.
October 9, 201212 yr I had heard that nike was going to be or is being made by endo Endo builds to OEM Spec…. Epon builds to perfection….
October 9, 201212 yr excellent statement my choice really is between the mp59 and the epon 502 or 302
October 10, 201212 yr excellent statement my choice really is between the mp59 and the epon 502 or 302 Prolly btw mp59 and 302. 502 is more of mp53...
October 10, 201212 yr thanks for your imput ,,, helping alot tending toward the epon even though cost from 800 to 1000 more for a set with custom fitter I use
October 10, 201212 yr Tried both the 502 and 551 with an intent on picking up one of the two. For me, the 502 win, hands (and pants) down. I seriously did not think it felt 'dead' at all, which coming from playing the 302 is causing some head scratching for me. What I dd feel quite clearly, was that wonderful trampoline effect; the ball seems to shoot off the face like a bullet. Such a contrast to the 302, which feels like hitting soft sticky balls. In my opinion, the 502 was heads and shoulders over the 551 -- sorry, just didn't do anything for me. A remark I read earlier about the 502 being 'point and shoot' irons -- spot on! Just like the X2 has relegated the M9 to the depths of the cold dry box, I have a feeling the 502, when it arrives, will retire the 302 to novelty status. ;)
October 13, 201212 yr The 502's are really a milestone in golf club technology, other brands have used vibration absorbing material in heads but alpha gel is on a whole other level. OEMs have ordered the 502 iron just to take it apart and see how it's done. I still prefer the 551/501 because it has a better setup (for me) and also provides more feel at impact but I hope when Epon does make a 503 they utilize the same gel but just distribute it differently so it doesn't feel as numb. I also think if they made a more compact iron with alpha gel more people would like it. The 502 has superior feel on poorly struck shots.
October 16, 201212 yr Cannot believe there are no reviews on the AF-103????????? It was just released...
October 16, 201212 yr Your up early, 10 days and no one has hit it? Lol. Ya it is early. Most TSG'ers ordered with custom shafts I believe that's why things are lagging. I've got my head only sitting in the workshop. I don't have a shaft for it except a basalius pull. I guess I can slap that one in for giggles and see how it goes. I'm waiting for the Diamana B series to arrive.
October 16, 201212 yr If you want to send it to me, I have a Diamana X in the garage waiting for a new head. I will return it on my forthcoming visit. Seriously, the Diamana B is the spec, I was thinking of, will be interesting to see what you think of it/them?
October 16, 201212 yr Me and corky have our assembled clubs already patience. Lemme say the driver looks smaller than 460, looks to be 415-420 don't know how they were able to achieve the illusion. Sole is very Zero like
October 18, 201212 yr on my way to get 502 with projectXi 5.0 just finished testing hit 6 iron demo consistently 178-180.. twice 182-183 wow blown away
October 18, 201212 yr on my way to get 502 with projectXi 5.0 just finished testing hit 6 iron demo consistently 178-180.. twice 182-183 wow blown away Surprised you're not in the 5.5 flex range with those distances. 5.0=reg flex? Your SS should be too much for that
October 18, 201212 yr on my way to get 502 with projectXi 5.0 just finished testing hit 6 iron demo consistently 178-180.. twice 182-183 wow blown away epon 502 has stronger loft. might need a few range session before them into play. the first time i played with them i was long on almost every hole!!
