Epon AF-302 vs. OnOff Kuro 2011/13

[NavyMU]

As title suggests, looking for some discussion on look, size, top line, feel, etc.

 

I live in Japan and the OnOff's are easy to come by, have owned many sets.  The Epons are more difficult to get a quality set, and are a bit more expensive. Before I start a new project, looking for some info and real experience. Asking for feedback on Epon AF302 look/feel and someone who has hit both to compare. Respectfully ask commenters not regurgitate someone else's experience.

While the forum may not be as lively as it once was... may be worth asking over at http://forum.tourspecgolf.com/

 

Might be a few more people with experience of with the AF302's.

Had them both. I thought the AF302's were far superior in looks, quality, feel and performance. YMMV.

I have 302s and Kuros 2015

 

They are both top quality.  Excellent feel and perform very consistently.  I have gamed the Kuros for 5-6 years because the shafts fit me better then the 302s.  The Kuros are slightly larger.  No one can tell you which one is better cause both excellent so just comes down to which one you like.  Not sure how they compare to 2011/13.

I have both. 
Both sets are beautiful and pure. They will both be beautiful additions to your bag and serve you well. In the end it’s the wielder of the sword and not the sword itself that makes the cut. 
 

So, in the end, it really boils down to looks. The ONOFF’s are noticeably larger when looking down on them. They are borderline GI in their size, top line, and offset. The Epons also have a fair amount of offset for a muscle back. 
 

I personally think the ONOFF is a better looking club

I don't have the 302s, but I do have the 303s, along with the Onoff 2013 Forged and 2015 Kuros.  The 303s, I don't know exactly, but they just do not feel nearly as good as either set of Onoffs, at least to me.  The Epons are very expensive, and are great clubs.  I tried to talk myself into putting them into play, but could not justify the results and feel I was getting from the Onoffs.  I also found both sets of Onoff to be more forgiving that the Epons.  And I tried 2 different sets of shafts in them.  I just retired my 2015 Kuros because they are literally worn out, and put a fairly new set of 2013 Forged back in the bag. I love them!  The Epons are in storage. 

 

I have not owned the 2011 Onoffs, but I have hit them in comparison to the 2013s.  Thought I did like the 2011s, the 2013s win this battle every time.  Just a great, plenty forgiving, all around mid sized CB.  IMHO
