How much did these cost ex-shipping both ways? How much is ther copper underlay on its own? Did it really change the feel? I can;t imagine the copper underlay being that thick?

What heads are these BTW? Shinagawa grind?

Nine heads were 42k yen, including copper 800/head. Very reasonable to me.

I have not assembled these yet so I can't comment on the feel. I have K's Tour Lites I was going to use, but at the last minute decided to order K's Tour. I don't know... maybe I'll change my mind again if I have wait more than a week for the shafts haha. I really want to hit these already.

These are Yamaha heads.

About $280-$300 USD?

Is that just Alfamek? Or does that include all your shipping and handling?

The heads came back weighing 1-1.5g more. How much of that is copper, I have no idea. I think their site gives you thickness range but it's minuscule.

It's hard to tell how much it changed the feeling because I don't recall before. I took these to the range when I bought them two years ago for one session but the shafts did not fit me. I don't remember them feeling super soft or anything like that. I just liked the lack of offset and the head shape. Fast forward to yesterday, they felt amazing hitting range balls. Unfortunately I was hitting off grass and sandy soil made them look like s*** now with all the scratches. Tools, not jewels they say but damn it's annoying to see a scratch in plating when you miss toward the toe 😞

Anyways, for 900 yen I would totally get copper underlay again.
