About the Epon AF-302
The AF-302 is a one-piece forged cavity-back players iron from Epon, the house brand of Endo Manufacturing in Tsubame, Niigata. It inherits the AF-301's form with a refined centre-of-gravity flow between clubs and a thicker back section for a soft, near-muscle-back feel despite the cavity, over an S20C soft-iron billet forged to roughly HRB80 hardness and nickel-chrome plated. A Japanese equipment review dated December 2009 already covers the model and Ginone Golf's custom-order catalogue files it under its 2010 product line, so year_introduced here is 2010 - notably earlier than some marketplace listings imply. Lengths are inferred from the standard steel assembly-length ladder shared by Epon's AF-Tour CB, the model that succeeded the AF-302/AF-303 line in the "compact cavity" niche, anchored to an independently confirmed 7-iron length of 36.5 inches.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of an Epon AF-302 7-iron?
The Epon AF-302 7-iron has a loft of 34 degrees, a lie of 62 degrees, and a standard steel length of 36.5 inches.
When was the Epon AF-302 released?
Around 2010. A Japanese equipment review already covered the AF-302 in December 2009, and Ginone Golf's custom-order catalogue files it under its 2010 product year, making it a considerably older design than some marketplace listings suggest.
Is the Epon AF-302 a blade or a cavity back?
It is a one-piece forged cavity back built to feel like a muscle back - a thicker back section and low centre of gravity give it a soft, blade-like feel despite the cavity design.
Finding a used set
The Epon AF-302 ran from 2010 to 2015 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- g-one-golf.com 'アイアンデータ比較表 (ロフト)' (data/ironloft.html) - a maintained comparison table across Epon's full historical iron lineup, dating the AF-302 to 2010 and giving the loft ladder 20/23/26/30/34/38/42/46 for 3-PW; this contradicts a later marketing-year assumption of 2019, so 2010 is used here
- aftergolf.net used-club listing for the Epon AF-302 - independently corroborates the same loft ladder (20-46) and lie ladder (60-63.5) for 3-PW
- golfclubtesthitting.com 'EPON AF-302アイアン試打レビュー', dated 2009-12-08 - confirms the 7-iron at 34 degrees loft and 36.5 inches length with a Dynamic Gold S200 shaft, and predates the g-one 2010 catalogue placement, supporting an early-2010s (not late-2010s) introduction
- mycaddie.jp product 5328 - confirms the #5 iron at 26 degrees loft / 61 degrees lie and 'soft iron forged' construction; product registration dated 2012-11-07
- ponkoshu.com 'AF-302 アイアン' review - confirms S20C round-bar soft-iron construction, ultra-precision forging, roughly HRB80 hardness, nickel-chrome plating, and that the AF-302 inherits the AF-301's shape
- g-one-golf.com product page for AF-Tour CB (2015 catalogue) - the standard steel assembly-length ladder used here for AF-302 (38.5 down to 35.0 inches, 0.5-inch steps) matches this direct-successor model's ladder and the independently confirmed AF-302 7-iron length of 36.5 inches
