anyone know if these feel worlds different from the zodia roddio version?

[+TourSpecGolfer]

To me, all Zodia irons & wedges feel like rocks. I don't know what it is but we never ever had good feedback on them.

Love the way they look and Chiba is the man but we have sold a ton of Zodia and people never stick with them.

Is it true that these Meister -M have copper under lay?

No Idea, I don't consider copper underlay a big selling point as it can be done on any iron with a satin or mirror plated finish for next to nothing. It adds about 1-2g head weight also helps hide dings but on the negative it hides details or rounds edges slightly.

So why does Mizuno and Miura use copper underlay on their very special limited models?

Surely there are some benefits/advantages to having copper underlay. no? like enhaced feel?

As a feel player myself, I would not mind having better feel with my irons.

Many reasons in no particular order good & bad.

hide pitted steel

add weight to head due to a particular grind removing too much from the base head

make it feel softer ( hardly noticeable )

make is seem special (marketing)

thats the truth man, feel will come from sole design, overall design, loft, material and make up of nickel content in the finish far more than a copper underlay. It's cool though and depending on the look of the iron I would prefer it over not.

Thanks.

So copper underlay + Satin vs just copper is quite different in feel then?

My MP62s are only copper plated and while the feel at impact is definitely softer compared to the original chrome finish,

copper seems to wear relatively pretty quickly. Used to have copper Epon 208 wedges and the sole on the 58 became stripped down to the steel after 2 seasons or so. Sure with Sand wedges , it might wear quicker than others but trying to figure out if there is a good way to keep the copper on but still maintain the soft feel. I thought maybe copper underlay was the solution, but perhaps not.

Yes very different feel when there is an NiCr finish between the ball and the club face. Then there is a wide range of satin or mirror finishes that feel different from each other, it all depends on the maker some go for soft feel others durability or a combo of both.

Satin or Mirror alone to me seems more durable than copper + satin/mirror.
