Brand of Choice: Mizuno/Epon/Ping/Bettinardi.

What's in the Bag?:
Mizuno Staff bag/Nakashima staff Bag/Fusion staff Bag/Sasquatch staff Bag. MP-37's/Ping G2's with Tour Concepts/Callaway Fusions with Black Golds. Technity driver with Roddio W-7WA/Technity 13.5 with Mach Line Pro FW/Bridgestone J33R with Accra SE 80M5/Bridgestone J33 18* with GD UT-90/Epon X wedge/Epon Technity wedge/Mizuno MP and MP-T wedge/Fourteen V3 wedge/PRGR 3 wedge/Tourstage X-wedge/Yuri Yuri Gekku and raw black wedges/Vokey Spin Milled wedge. Scotty Cameron Tel proto/Newport Beach model proto/Studio Style 2/Bettinardi BB-43 and BB2/G-Field Premium Zone #0. Bridgestone B330 Tour ball.



Just got my Epon X (copper) and Technity wedge (black), 13.5 fairway with mach line pro fairway and also the sacred Technity Driver with a Roddio W-7WA shaft. Just want to say, although i've only hit some balls into a pillow/blanket in my living room, i'm convinced there is a legitimate difference between japanese and USA brand clubs. I know this is nothing new to any of you, but it's my first time with Jspec equipment and I was skeptical about just how much of a difference there could really be.
The 3 wood blows my mind! It feels like buttery lightning off the face! Unbelievable! Don't feel as much of a difference with the wedges, but they did feel incredible. Could feel the face gripping the ball and spinning the crap out of it. Obviously you have to try all this stuff at the range or the course, but so far i'm absolutely impressed! Aside from some putters, the Epon X wedge is the single nicest golf club i've ever seen. I'm going Epon for life.

Already there.

I liked the Epon but Callaway Hyper was a little easier for me to hit. Still have the Epon in original foil. PM me if anyone is interested. Thanks!

Just Ordered Epon 460ZR 10.5 degree with Roddio W-6WA SR flex club in 45.75 inch final length from Chris. With all the hype of Epon and Roddio shaft I decided my first venture into TSG premium brand will be the Ultimate driver endorsed by this website. Since I wanted left side out of play and my swing speed is only about 90-95 miles/hr on the average by a launch monitor I decided to go with the SR flex in the W-6WA roddio shaft. Hope I made the right decision. If this club delivers than I will definitely be venturing into more epon stuff such as woods and irons and wedges even. For my investment sake I hope I will be epon for life as well. I am totally psyched!!!

I can't wait for the review.

I say you hit it 10 yards farther on average. (IMG:http://www.tourspecgolf.com/forum/style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/tsg_smilie_smile2.gif)

the feel and sound will sure be different.

Congratulations on the Purchase of the Finest Driver and shaft combo on the Planet, IMHO (IMG:http://www.tourspecgolf.com/forum/style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/tsg_smiley_heart.gif) and welcome to Epon (IMG:http://www.tourspecgolf.com/forum/style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/tsg_smilie_love.gif)

Did not get fitted by tourspecgirl. However, I extensively read her recommendation on both the AXIV shaft and the Roddio shaft based on forum members swing speed and there characteristic. I just made my best guess based on cumulative knowledge and the shaft availability. I was actually debating on the W-5BA shaft originally but it was out of stock per Chris. So I had to pick one of the 6WA vs 6BA. I picked the higher launch 10.5 degree Epon 460ZR head and basically married to lower spin shaft which is the 6WA. If I picked the 9.5 degree head I would have went with the higher spinning 6BA shaft. So I went for the higher lauch with lower spin combo in my mind. Also, I wanted to take the left side out of play because for me I don't mind a shot that is pushed to the right but I hate the filling if I pull one to the left. My bad tee shot is when I launch it low to the left. My best shot in my mind is a mid to high flying with straight or slightly fading trajectory. When I am really on and if I trust the shaft, I will get aggressive on my tee shot at times. My swing speed average is about 90-95 on the launch monitor whenever I test it. My tempo is probably average but I am aggressive through the ball. I have less wrist lag but I am currently actively working on hinging more aggressively. This is why I chose the lower flex rating at SR rating. My only concern is weather I should ask chris for even slightly softer mounting than the standard SR rating - maybe 1/4 flex softer if there is such a thing to sweeten the shaft to sweet spot of my average driver speed. Any comment?
