I'm not an egg shape lover but I guess its ok as a SW or LW. The more sand you scoop the more merrier right?

The question is geared more toward shape. Is there a better view from above on the market and if so what is it?

dont know if it applies but i like the agressive look of the gauge design irons from the top view. the top part is a bit angled Vs rounded.

Looks pretty good to me. Looks to have a bit shorter hosel, or is that because there is no ferrule?

I like the look of the meatier wedge, not some trimmed down, sleek... doesn't feel or look like you have anything in your hand.

I was just looking at the shape of some of the wedges I have...

3 different sets of Maru's
Golds
07 Toustage
Epons X and Technity
Gauge design studio handmades, others
Scratch
Vokey's

I test and I test.

Keep going back to the EPON X Wedge

Best looking, best feeling wedge that can be worked to do almost anything.

Edges are sharp because its still raw keep the suggestions coming guys! Pick these apart if you can, we are trying to find ways to enhance it.

I think I like a bit more space between the hosel and the start of the grooves...

Mill marks? Double Mill Marks? Raw Grain Face? Raw Grain w/bead blast?

Most Pro's like a black finish, The public wants brushed satin, where do you stand?

It doesn't look too far away from 'spot on'....... I love my Zodia's which look a tad smaller than this model, maybe the top edge good be a 'smidgen' rounder but it looks like a wedge that I could play without thinking about it.

Raw black is where it's at......

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.



Finish looks really interesting and nice. I'm a bead blast fan. I like a ferrule personally. Is the line where the lines on the face begin on a slight angle or is it just the picture? I like a dark finish for playing golf but i personally like something inbetween dark and chrome for pure aesthetic value. I like a slightly less egg shape as well, but obviously that's just personal preference.
Basically the Epon X in Chemical Purple is the greatest thing since sliced bread in my opinion. If you could sleep with them, i would.

personally the toe is a little too high and a little too roundy, my eyes would have it a little more squished/squatted down.

as for finish, definately a black that will wear and rust
