Help -- Epon 551 vs. 502

[siagolf]

Hi all,

 

Coming from Miura pp9003 with kbs c-taper r+ flex and thinking of adding Epon to the stable. 6i swing speed approx 85-88, carry 175-180 yds, more hitter than sweeper. Mizuno Swing DNA numbers from about a year ago are: 91 (3,2,4,4); 90 (3,2,4,4), 91 (3,3,5,5). Will also post more fitting data from the same time once I get the number uploaded.

 

Hoping you can help with the following:

 

1. Forgiveness between the 551 and 502, and how does each compare to the pp9003? Specifically sweet spot size, mis-hit forgiveness, head size, leading edge etc. happy with the size, top line, and offset of the pp9003 currently.

 

2. Shaft recommendations, either steel or graphite, in the 100-115g range with same spin dynamics as my c-tapers but with a touch higher launch.

 

Thanks for your time and looking forward to your thoughts! :)

 

Edit: fitting data below based on mizuno mp-53 6-iron at golftec. Was told to ignore total yards and focus on carry as the launch monitor was inaccurately calculating roll during the fitting

Go with the 502. Seems like your numbers are better with graphite. Maybe look at the UST recoil?

PP is old news imo.

I liked the 551 much better. Much much

I couldn't sell my 502s fast enough.

That's very interesting to say the least. Unless you were asking a ridiculous price, they would sell in a heartbeat!

I think what he meant was he didn't like them. Of all the Epon irons they were the
only set I did not care for.

I sold them for what I payed for them. I didn't care for them at all and that's being kind.

I went with the 502's raw. My numbers were just better with them overall.

Thanks guys, went on a tangent post research and other chats and settled on the 2013 onoff forged irons with recoil prototype 110's
