About the Epon Personal 2016
Personal 2016 is the third generation of Epon's limited-edition "Personal" iron, released 24 August 2016 in a run of roughly 800-850 sets sold direct through Epon's Niigata store and authorized fitters. Unlike the first two Personal generations, which were muscle backs, this third generation moved to a pocket-cavity design - Epon's own launch copy and independent retailer coverage both describe it as the series' first pocket cavity - positioned between the AF-303 and AF-503 in Epon's own line, with a black IP-plated finish. Note this corrects an initial "blade" categorization: with a milled pocket cavity it is more accurately a compact players iron, not a blade. Standard steel assembly lengths were not found in an accessible source for this specific edition, so the 4-PW ladder here follows the same 0.5-inch per-club steel-length convention documented for the contemporaneous Epon AF-306 (also a 4-PW, players-category, Endo-forged set); this is a disclosed inference rather than a directly sourced figure. The "grind" figures Epon published for this model (converted to inches below) sit in the same 2-4 mm range as the gooseneck/offset figures on Epon's other forged models and are treated as offset here.

Buying a set
Epon has since introduced the Epon Personal Premium above it in the range, so the Personal 2016 is at the end of its retail life rather than fully retired — closeout sets still turn up at retailers while stock lasts, and it is well represented used on eBay, 2nd Swing and Golf Avenue. Check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying a used set: irons are routinely bent from standard during a fitting.
