Recently I purchased a 9.5 degree 460 Epon shafted with a Roddio W-6WA SR flex. I was getting a super high ball flight with this combo, so much so that I thought it was costing me distance. After talking to Chris I decided to tip the Roddio 1/2 inch to try to bring the trajectory down. I have also been following the discussions on the 380 cc Epon and thought that I might do some experimenting with the smaller head. I decided on the 04 Srixon model W-302 as it has more options than the Epon in regards to lofts and face angles available. This new W-302/Roddio combo is consistantly 10 yards longer than anything I have ever hit and there are times that I am getting 20 extra yards. I know that the dumb downed modern philosophy of closed face angles and larger clubheads is to help the average golfer, but I am wondering now that if all these advances in last couple of years in accuracy have been at the expense of distance. Anyway the Epon still rules in the feel dept. but being a distance junkie it has seeing closet duty as of late.

I have a Taylor 510 from the Japanese tour van. It could do with a shaft upgrade, however its an absolute beast so far as distance is concerned.

.......God knows what it would be like with a Roddio in it!!
