Closed/shut club face issues - Epon

NavyMU · May 14

JDM nut here. Have a lot of brands, but Miura has been my favorite. I own multiple sets, and prefer the no offset, thin sharp top line, and narrow sole of the golden years of the 2010s. Currently game MG CB1007 YGrind and MB5005 YGrind limited, often in combo.

That being said, I really enjoy my Epon Tour CBs. They are powerful of the face and I generate really good distance and spin.

Problem: they appear from the top line to be very shut at address. Though I have tried a few small grip or swing changes to compensate, I tend to significantly overdraw these. When I compensate too much I leave it out to the right, as a right hander. For those of you who were going to comment, completely understand I don't need to be changing my swing to accommodate a golf club, lol. Nothing permanent.

Bottom line: love the feel and ball action, but it's just too much. I can't control it consistently to put them in play. My Miuras lose a bit of distance, but I maintain a nice baby draw, with a miss being low and thin, but straight.

Anyone else have this issue? Thoughts? Anyone see the same results between Epon and Miura? Is this all my head and someone will tell me Epons actually are open at address by comparison, lol?

I’ve never experienced a shut face appearance. Are you able to capture it in a pic.

BTW, that’s a nice looking Lagotto in you profile picture.

My bet is the Epon's are slightly upright for you and sit a little closed for you because of that. Take one a bend it a little flatter and see if that changes things for you.

Sometimes clubs just aren't right for you and it's an uphill battle.

well.................. the question is , did u buy them for $200 2-12i from some asian outlet inet store?

theres absolutly NO POSSIBLE way, epon are anyhting other than 100% perfect as the buyer ordered them to be and that aint" shut/closed" .

mine are as straight as a ruler and every set my builder has ever seen are the same.

no way , no how .

unless u ordered them that way

Ya I’m not sure this makes sense. In theory bending a club weak closes the face but on irons it just adds offset. Maybe get the loft specs checked but I don’t think an iron can have a closed face. Are you sure it’s not in your head?
