Set is built. A funny thing my builder noted was that loft/lie were a bit off. Not sure if thats common with head only builds.

We ran into some EPON irons where the lie were slightly off by 1degree. It is rare but it does happen.

BTW. awesome irons and a even better car. The LED ambient lighting is awesome inside that S63amg. A very nice way of spending $150,000

ahhh... FW Golf in the house! can you guys confirm/deny what Spoon said earlier in the thread about Epon not making copper 302s anymore after March 2014? (not that I doubt you buddy Spoon!) just want to clarify once and for all for everyone.

haha we are always in the house jming!

EPON still has the Copper and Black finishes available in their irons for special order (just spoke to our rep for golfwrx) it just has to be a special order now which basically means it takes longer.

I dont know if all vendors can make these special orders or if we are just special

It will take around 3-6 weeks to ship out from ENDO(Japan) so expect to wait around 7-8 weeks to receive them.

Hey Ryan, can you also send existing irons back for a special finish? I wish I knew they were still offering copper/black before I got my set.

[chiguy]

Love it. Nice shafts to go along with even nicer heads. And not to beat a dead horse, but holy shnikes! That car is beautiful.

hi ryan

i was just on the phone with Epon 5 mins ago, not a dealer or rep but Epon:) they are no longer accepting offers for copper and special finishes.
i was told that unless you ordered or stocked up on inventory pre march then all orders after this will not be accepted.

hopefully one of the dealers/reps in the USA stocked up on these chocolates.

[Oldplayer]

Someone asked for a pic at address. Not sure if it was for the 302's. I think first pic is 7 or 8 iron.
Next is 7 then 9 I believe. I took these when I first got them (a while ago now)
Anyway a couple more pics can't hurt...right?

Copper Epon's are gorgeous, I want a set too.

[ahbot]

So we have two answers on the finish:

Fairway Golf says: There's Copper
Spoon says: No more Copper

Can someone chime in? I really want a set of 302/AF Tour Coppers.

BTW, Kekoa cannot post for awhile.

don't forget that there are more pics of coppers rather than OP's 316s.

^^^^ Wow! That is really odd for JDM. That is the reason why people purchase JDM. Higher tolerances! I assume that head weights were spot on though?

They look gorgeous. I can't wait to get the review!
[/quote]For what it's worth my Yonex Ezone MB's had loft and lie issues. I had three clubs seperated by only 1* of loft and lies where off on some by 2.5*

I added one important step in the timeline.

[ahbot]

I like the timeline. Somewhere in between those events, Kekoa posted pics of himself posing with the S65 AMG. I think he got banned for that.

[ahbot]

BTW, he said he has really good high resolution pics for those who are interested.

[Mob]

I didn't mean to start the whole copper debate. I am interested to know the verdict on this now that it has been raised. How are we going to find out?

It's true...my eyes are burning and my day is officially ruined.

Kekoa said he's now living the dream waking up to JDM, single malt scotch and the pics of a car he doesn't own.

Rolling around in a pile of NO1 grips like Scrooge McDuck.

Just another day in paradise...

[Bravo36]

On the copper debate, I'd trust Spoon (Carlo) on this. He is always spot on with all things Epon, and has a direct line to them, not the reps. My 2 cents.

I just don't want to believe it. I hope to be playing some form of copper epon irons for years to come. I guess I am going to have to take really good care of the set I got. Boy am I glad I pulled the trigger last year to get these.

He was caught posing like Paulina Gretzky with his new Epons next to the S65 AMG. Life of a pretty boy.

[Spoon]

There could be brand new inventory stocked up with some dealers.
As the wait can be more than a month some dealers stocked up on these
Items while they were still available. This is the only way your going to get them
New.

Back on topic , gamed my sus316 today and they are defintely firmer feeling than my 302s.
This aint a bad thing just sometjnng im not used to with the epons. This one feels more like a yamaha
Tour firmer feel.

C'mon man, you know why Kekoa's grips are "extra sticky".

In all seriousness, though... This is the best copper Epon thread ever!
