Which JDM Irons to go with ??

[tobybear]

I're hit every Miura and Epon along with Chikara and vega.

Coming from me ( a 2-5 handicap former scratch playing maybe twice a week ) they all make great performing product.

From my experience as a lifelong and career club builder they all make FANTASTIC product. Lies and lofts are always good from factory ( not a huge deal to fix but still good to note) . hosel bores are centered and my biggest pet peeve ( head weights ) are always very very good.

From a forgiveness stand point you can NOT beat the Epon 703's, they are like forged TM rocketblades. From there it's the Epon 503's which for me resemble my MP54's in blade length and general size but are much more square on the top line and toe profile. The other thing will ALL Epon irons is that the sole although thinner than some North American clubs dont have much camber and have a flatter profile ( with a blunted leading edge )

Miura also makes great product but as other have said, their product is VERY VERY good but also not always targeted to the guys why might be the higher handicapper. The PP009 is awesome but for some the shape is a turn off. The new 57 CB is SWEET!!! and looks very much like a fatter TM 300 with a wider sole profile and shorted blade length,

Chikara only offers a couple designs and for the better player ( 9 and less ) they are hard to beat.

Vega probably offers off of the largest selections of iron head designs and finished but again more the better player although their CB is very very forgiving and is quite playable for any player with the right shaft.

I build with these products every day, I get to test them when I want and sometimes I get to fit players ( my focus is building ) and I can say enought about all of these brands but I think from what I have access to and my experience my ratings of each product of very fair. I f you have any other questions just reply in the thread or PM me.

I think you've made a great purchace with those S-yards. I had a set shafted with Roddio i-10's......regret selling them to be honest. If you get a chance, try and pick up a set of used Yamahas to compare to both of your other JDM sets. I've owned the 2010 and 2011 tour models (both with Quadra graphite shafts) and they were both fantastic!
