I'm curious to try something with a laser etched face. Preferably something to replace my 302s.

There are no models forthcoming for the next while... we can always suggest it for their new releases.

I wonder how long the etching or milling is going to have an effect on a person's gamer irons...ever see how fast the milling wears off a Vokey?

Ah it'd be cool to see. Just how Onoff did with their Forged iron this year and last years Yamahas. I've never hit irons with this so I'm not sure what real world differences it makes but I'd like to find out.

Here is a custom face endo did for pro golfer Shingo Katayama on his ONOFF Forged... notice the YEN symbols and the different crescent wave milling.

nice ! does the waves have an effect or just design?

Definitely has an effect, more bite and more friction on the ball = more spin!

whats the reason they dont do this in their irons?

cost or durability issue or both?

Well there is definitely more work involved which means increased costs... and will Epon do it in the future... they very well might.

Epon AF303 I hope.

Epon AF303 I hope.

thats an eventuality with the way they serialize their models.

i already have the shafts waiting Lol.

I noticed when Cleveland tried the micro milling on the face that they wore very quickly. Grooves were fine, but the micro milling seemed to disappear at heavy impact areas.

Anyone experience this on the models posted?

here is another pic of the face milling on the 2013 yamaha blade;

Is that the same pattern as the V forged??
