Epon AF-505 release date?

[boycer]

Cant believe there aren't more reviews. The on off 2015 better?

 

AF505 is about the size of pxg tour but the sole is wider. softer and quieter than Epon 503, less click.

Squat boxy blade length. super soft. very fast face. Screws or weight ports are tiny, much smaller than pictured.

good spin, playable spin. Miles better than 919 miz hot metal, smaller than 919Forged, or Srixon 585. Size...right there with Srixon 785-pxg tour. Shorter blade length vs. P790 and much truer forged feel. There is no gap wedge. The lack of reviews should not be that surprising Epon is not exactly a household brand.

 

How would you compare to the 919 forged for forgiveness and feel?

Just received my set of 505 heads. Time to head to the fitter to see what shaft combination works for me. Previously had aerotech i95 regulars w my 502’s so may just opt for that.

Does your fitter have Accra? Definitely try Accra if you can.

Hey Ian. Yes, I’m fact my fitter put me into a set of aerotechs some years ago but when I called this time for a fitting I believe he mentioned that I need to check out Accra.

 

What’s the story w this shaft?

 

Also very interested to see how the 505’s compare to my much beloved 502’s.

I’m a bit surprised to see how cheap 505’s are going for on eBay. Auction below is a Buy it Now for $1600 for a brand new setup of 505’s with aerotechs. A few weeks ago, I was able to pick up a set of brand new heads for $1000. Crazy reasonable for Epons.

 

This is a brand new release from Epon, heads normally go for $350 each and I have never seen any real discount on Epons in the past and doubly so with brand new gear from them.

 

Might these be counterfeit? Doubtful and I know for a fact the heads I bought were the real deal.

You get what you pay for and I don’t think there is anything better out there as far as I’m concerned
