Epon AF Tour vs Tourstage MR-23 US Blade

Hi all.

Can anyone compare the 2 clubs in the title? Particularly on head size and whether you felt one was softer off the face. I have the TS but I've always wanted a set of the AF Tours too. For those lucky enough to have both in their possesion, comparison pictures would be awesome :tsg_smiley_sun:

Thanks,

Ian.

I have both

I find the epon more forgiving

But the mr23 feels softer. Mine is copper plated tho

Thanks. Would you be able to take some comparison pictures?

ive got both sets of blades

TS are WAY smaller , thinner ,. more compact, less offset.

theres is NOTHING similar in these 2 heads at all.

both mine have the same finish so feel is prety close , however , id easily give the "niceness " cal lto the EPONS

EPON are softer and easier, but u ca nstil lwork them around no probs.

not sure about the bounce differnce

but if i was playing in lush wet grass id play the EPONS over the TS all day everyday.

if it was offf the harder pan shorter tougher gras sid go the TS by a mile.

both are excellent but they are not a good comaprison set.

get both!

cud do a lot worse than that i assure you.

a few yrs back i took my af tours and my kyoei muscles on tour for a week.

played them side by side.

easily, and it was not even close, the af tours killed the kyoeis when it was wet. and vice versa when it was dry and hard.

smaller, thinner sahrpe rock lines for tough grass. , rounded water flow for the wet.

in summer here theres nothing better than middling a yamaha tour or an epon 302.

esp in hokkaido where the grass is always wet.

the thicker, chunkier, guuuuuushier irons are irrepalcable

subsequently, in summer in oz of parched dry super short burnt grass, life much easier with a tiny blade.

well thats how i look at life anyway.
