Epon is Releasing a Blade

[shuttle1]

Coming out toward the end of November.

 

IMO this will be one of if not the best blade we'll see for '09.

 

Playability

Forgiveness

Feel

Looks

Quality

 

And with the numerous custom options..

 

Fit

Finish

Shafts

 

Their will be a new King of Blades

 

Any UK guys have a Pic you can post??

 

I'm not allowed...

[Viking Golfer]

Maybe a combo set of Epon AF-301 and Epon Blade coming up :D

[ginrin]

Any pics?

[Dill Pickleson]

pics please

[shuttle1]

"Official Pics" have not been released in Japan or the US.

 

The UK guys have a few floating around, was kind of hoping they'd see this and post a couple...

 

I cant yet...

 

They are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I will bet money there isn't anyone who won't like the looks of these beauties....

Found this online blog site. Hope they are the new blades you are talking about. Looks like there is a little tear shaped cavity on the back like Mizuno "cut muscle" design. Not saying they are the same... but similar physics behind it to give a little bit of forgiveness? Great looking modern blade to say the least.

That's them... AF Tour

 

Great find, keep em coming.

[DaveyH]

those irons look amazing !

[apocalypsem3]

One more shot of the soles.

 

 

[Viking Golfer]

My next set of iron ;)

 

I thought they were called AF-101, but AF-TOUR sounds wayyyyyyyy cooler ;) :D

[herrsonic]

that's the nike symbol on the back :D

What does the cavity-line do from a design standpoint?

[varsityhacker]

Those look sick... very nice. Took Epon along time to release some blades but, they look like they have a winner. Just bought a set of the J's so if they play as good as everyone reports might have to pick me up a set, that might be a great combo set.

epon spelled backwards?

hate the chrome

hate the chrome

 

I would prefer a satin type to play day in and day out, but Epon normally offers a few different finish options.

 

For a change though, the chrome wouldn't be all bad - although the muscle shape is dfferent, the overall 'look' reminds me of some nice Hogan blades.

[varsityhacker]

Anyone know what the expected retail cost will be for these irons?

[Viking Golfer]

hate the chrome

 

Epon offers their irons in custom finishes, if you hate the chrome :D

 

Black, satin, copper etc.

Anyone know what the expected retail cost will be for these irons?

 

I believe a set of 5-PW will cost in the region of $1,000 - expect prices similar to Miura prices :D

[jacksonlui]

who's ho enough to do a review and compare the epon blades withthe tourstage blades

[Spoon]

these will be the very first blades il own. cannot wait!

[varsityhacker]

I have a set of the Tourstage X- Blades 2 and I have not hit a better iron, maybe when the Epon's show up they will feel better then the X-Blades. That would be a welcome surprise, if they do then I would probably order a set of the Epon blades and maybe make a combo set for the days when the swing isn't as sharp. They are some sweet looking irons.

Hi There I will try and post a picture tonight when i finish work of the new iron AF TOUR ive just ordered a combo set of af-501 3-4 irons and satin finish in the AF TOUR 5-PW about 6 weeks to come a canny wait

[varsityhacker]

That will be a sweet combo can't wait to see the pic's.

[projamie]

Is it just me or the reflection off the chrome but do they have the same sole grind as the AF-301s? Looks asthough they do but might be my eyes playing tricks... Like Claus said, maybe a combo set could be coming, thinking of ordering 6-pw and keeping my AF-301s :man_in_love: What a combo set that would be!

If you get a chance, can you take a picture of AF Tour at address with a golf ball (for a size reference)? Thanks!

that's the nike symbol on the back :)

 

Nike wishes they would have thought of that. maybe they can file a trademark infringement suit.
