About the Epon AF-705
The Epon AF-705 features a compact muscleback or minimal cavity design with a thin topline and minimal offset, providing direct feedback and precision shot-shaping at the cost of forgiveness on off-centre hits. At impact it delivers crisp, precise feedback — you will feel every strike clearly, whether it's centred or not.
Loft Analysis
The Epon AF-705's 7-iron is lofted at 36° — weak — more lofted than most modern irons. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 129–139 yards. The 5-iron (28°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 49° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.

- ✓Players who want clear feedback on every miss to improve their technique
