Probably the most versatile and reliable wedge I have owned to date. The Epon 208KGX wedge has been such a great asset in my bag, I had to get a second backup set. I have them in gold w/1150gh tours and a second set in satin w/tour ad 75 graphite shafts.

Look - Clean lines from above provides me w/Confidence. Solid look, I feel like I can hit my yardage when I look down on these. They just look so solid.

Spin - I own Yururi Sieda tours, and this wedge spins the ball just as much, so the spin is way up there due to the solid sharp grooves. After using this wedge for over 20 rounds, the grooves still bite the ball enough so that you'll need a new ball after 3 solid wedge shots.

Feel - The 208 Golds are shafted w/1150gh tours and feel silky through the ground. Perfect divots feel like nothing at all. Solid sweetness going through the turf w/that perfect thump. No harsh shock on slight toes or heels but you'll feel it a little. The Satin set is shafted w/tour ad 75 stiffs. Took it to my clubfitter to have it balanced to D3.5. A totally different feel from the steel shaft... For me the Graphite shaft was quite easy to hit. Very Smooth very tight, and just alittle muted compared to steel. Very very predictable and controllable.

Trajectory - Compared to the Yamaha x wedge w/Black Gold shafts, can be controlled similarly but I cannot really compare them since they don't have the same shafts... I can hit both wedges low and accurately punch drop and stop shots any where from 90 yrds in w/the 58* and 52 is a solid 110 w/alot of bite. The Tour AD shafts produce a mid boring trajectory for me a consistent yardages and trajectories. As appose to the BG and 1150 shafts which I can hit much lower.

Sand - I love sand play... it is one of strengths in my game... I have only played the Satin version w/the Tour AD shafts in the Sand, and it virtually like having a free drop on the green. Like I said, "the most versatile wedge I have ever touched." Solid feel, solid sound in the sand, and the ball just ends up where you want it to.

Rough - The ball still spins!! Open the club face, close the club face, flop it, run it, hit it high on the toe, I'm telling you the ball will still spin!!

Around the greens - the 208 wedge is great, predictable roll, very forgiving on chips and easy to open and hood.

IMO: the 208 is worth buying. It has been in my bag since it has debuted and it prob won't get replaced. I will most likely even buy a third set. =)

For me this wedge has provided me w/added confidence and I could not ask for anything more.
