Epon Kgx wedges
« on: April 14, 2010, 01:45:47 AM »
Since no one has posted this here i will make the 1st thread. i have been using these for almost 3 years and have tried all the finishes. the most beautiful is the copper finish. the copper finish starts of as a high gloss purplish gold finish but after some wear it will fade into a rich reddish copper look. very very nice but you will see significant wear on face on sole but other than that it is fine.

the most durable ones are the silver stain ones and look as new as the day i bought them aside from normal wear on the sole. very forgiving and spins the ball like crazy.

overall a good players wedge with a very versatile bounce. open and close at will but this feature is for the better player. i use a 50, 56 and 60 and the 56 is the one that gets the most use by far.

for those that dont know about the epon wedges these are forged by Endo. world;s premier willy wonka factory or forged golf clubs in the world! i hear they are releasing a new model soon. cannot wait:)

the new Epon 20KGX Wedge, a high precision wedge forged from soft Japan Industry Standard S20C steel. This all new design features close to right angle grooves that are engraved not pressed/stamped for super back spin, and a dual box cavity to help promote a higer CG for accurate and stable approach shots.    The dual box cavity removes weight from the heel and toe of the 208KGX placing the CG in a higher optimal location for lower trajectory + more bounce = control and workability coupled with pure soft feel and crazy spin! Roll that ball back at the pin!

The swing weight will typically fall around D2 if the wedge is chosen with standard specs. Swingweight will vary depending on length chosen. As a guide, each half inch over standard will increase SW by 3 points and vice versa for each half inch under standard.

The standard length is 35" and lie is 63.5*-64*. Available in 50/10, 52/12, 56/14, 58/11, and 60/11 degree lofts/bounce and THREE different finishes, Silver Satin, Charcoal Black, or Smooth Gold.

I have used a 58 degree one for the past year and I have found it to be a great wedge. It is excellent on full swings and reliable for lofted shots. My one criticism is that it has a wide sole which makes it very forgiving but difficult to work off hard surfaces. The wide sole helps for consistency out of bunkers but perhaps more difficult to hit different shots out of teh bunker. I feel I have missed this so am changing to a wedge with a thinner sole (perhaps Vega or Vokey). Bottom line is that it is consistent but not so workable
