With interest growing in the JDM iron market, we decided to review one of our favorite musclebacks, the EPON AF-Tour irons. These irons feature a classic muscleback feel with modern aesthetics. These irons look fantastic and are available in Copper, Black and Satin finishes, for an Upcharge. We tested the irons with 2 testers considering a muscleback future purchase. Our Demo AF-Tour is a #6 iron at 38″ with the DG S300 standard shaft set up.
Our First Tester plays Mizuno MP-68s with KBS Tour shafts in stiff.

Sound: 5 Like: 4 – “I loved the sound of the ball contact. My 3 shots went to the same spot! (Literally) These are forgiving for a blade, I liked these irons and would consider them for my muscleback replacement set.”
Tester 2 Data:
Distance: 170 yds. Accuracy: -3 yds Left offline

Looks: 5 Feel: 4.5
Sound: 4 Like: 4.5 – “I have played many muslebacks, but like this one the best! I thought the S300 was not for me, prefer KBS myself. I thought the sound was not as impressive as Mizunos. I thought these were somewhat forgiving for a blade, I prefer these irons over any other muscleback irons. ”
