JiuBirdie Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) For sale is my brand new Epon iron set bought from Japan while I was travelling 2 months ago. It's brand new Epon AF-Tour, with True Temper R300 Regular, all irons are NEW and never see grass. I personally dyed the iron #7 to red, but it's still brand new as it's never been used. I would let go for $950 USD, shipping included, which was purchased around $1,350 after conversion. My lost is your gain. Thank you for visiting. I'm a total FOOL that even purchased many JDM golf equipment from Japan, this one is surely not the authentic. Long story short, I went to Osaka last time instead of Tokyo and this shop was my first try. I'm VERY Sorry to list such item on this forum, thank you very much for other senior members pointing out my damn stupid mistake. I will throw this set into garbage(maybe just the heads, and save the shafts for future used). As I never really test hit this iron set and I wasn't planning to play them until I got better, so the set was always sat in the corner. Anyways, Sorry to bother all and I learnt from my mistake. I am glad that you guys pointed it out, otherwise, another buyer will be suffered what I have been to. Apologies to all. Edited May 12, 2019 by JiuBirdie Wrong info was entered.

I can offer 100% money back policy if you can prove they were fake. I have owned MOST of premium JDM brands, and I frequently visited Japan for business and fun. So I know where to purchase and I have visited many of Japanese fitter facilities to purchase my golf equipment. Be aware your words as you are selling items too, I can leave craps like that in your post and deal with all the feelings. Bulls**ting around doesn't make a better person.

D22marshall Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) This is how mine looked. Main difference is the Tour not being red paintfill ( maybe you changed to black?) Edited May 10, 2019 by D22marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bngolfer Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) I must say I agree with Dean. The first thing I noticed was the structure of the finish in the cavity. Then the font of AF-Tour looks to be off. Finally the color of tour. JiuBirdie, you have a different username on your paper note; it is not in the same picture as the clubs either. I would like to see a pic with your name/date as well as the back cavity of all clubs. Maybe we can help clear any confusion here.

nobmontana Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Sorry to say, but the fonts look totally different. Also I thought that the AF Tour CBs had chrome plating and not satin. If I were to buy these, (not going to but... ) I’d want to see serial number as well as a copy of a receipt from where these were sold.

I never would thought I could find fake copies even in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobmontana Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 I'm sorry that you had to go through all this and I applaud you for doing what's right! Probably won't make you feel better but many of us have gone through a similar scenario. For future reference, there are a list of authorized dealers on Epon website. If where you bought is not in that list, they are not supposed to be selling any new Epon equipment. I've reported a few posts on the Japanese auction site because they were so obvious they were Epon counterfeits. The auction company takes them down but they quickly come back to post the same item with a different user name. They are all over the place and they aren't going away anytime soon. Anyway, since you are in Vancouver BC, you should come down to Seattle one of these weekends and come play with us! We meet approximately once a month and play at one of the local courses. Cuistot and Dr. Shankenstein (and his friend Joe) are great guys to play with. It's all casual friendly golf while chatting talking about JDM equipment!

Maybe we should shoot for another outing up north, Loomis Trails maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bngolfer Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 I wish I was a bit closer to you guys. Still remember my September round at Loomis in 1995 when it was a Japanese private club. It was awesome! Got very little play and the greens were rolling 12. Have fun guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
