Thanks Rick - we messed up not sending a bag didn't we? So much of choosing equipment comes down to personal preference - sensitivity / perception of feel. Putter is a good example. One thing we didn't expect you to say was that you didn't like the feel of the MCRAFT. But respect it didn't feel right to you. Thanks again for the piece - we'll keep believing we can make the very best of everything (we make baseball bats, judo suits, football boots and running shoes after all). Just wouldn't expect anyone to own all of it at once.
Mizuno Golf This was a Masterclass of a response. I happen to game the JPX 900 driver and 3 wood, MP18 (blades 7-Pw, SC 5-6, and Flihi 2-3) with T7 wedges. I’m likely the super fan Rick mentioned but each club earned its place in the bag vs competitors. Cheers to your team for continuing put out great products, now and in the future.
Agree with Justin Dobson here, very classy response. Just purchased your JPX 921 hot metals as they were by far the best feeling irons I hit during my fitting, and I tried all of the top brands offerings. Keep up the great work, I understand now why the phrase 'nothing feels like a Mizuno' exists.
Very class response. Wore Mizuno baseball cleats for years and just got into golf. Picked up an ST180 driver second hand yesterday and can’t wait to give it a rip. Might not be a super fan but I love the products and craftsmanship.
@@RickShielsPGA Fair review. I've gamed Mizuno in the big stick and irons but haven't tried their fairways or wedges. Been curious about the golf balls.
“I’ve never seen anyone play with mizuno balls” * matthew mcconaughey voice* I’ve been playing with mizuno golf balls before I got paid to play with them.
Luv the fact that you stay imparcial. Otherwise temptation and small little comments about the brand that sponsors you are inevitable. Just inevitable. Great job on that!
Love mizuno, im more a budget golfer that's just been getting into the game over the last year. Bought myself some JPX 900 hot metals and have been absolutely loving them!
Well I really have to throw my two cents in here, I'm a huge Mizuno fan. I'm a senior golfer with a nine handicap two years ago I was fitted for Mizuno irons. I chose the " hot metal " model and they were fitted with Mamiya recoil stiff shafts. I just love these irons, great feel and feedback, the only exception is my driver. I use a Cobra F8 with a regular flex shaft, the feel off the Cobra suits me better than the Mizuno driver. I ordered a dozen Mizuno RB Tour X golf balls and I was shipped the wrong balls. They shipped the Mizuno MP-X in error, no big deal, I've never played a Mizuno ball until this morning that is. I honestly must say that this golf ball simply went way beyond any expectations, what a great ball, I'm totally sold. Distance was excellent, great feel off the face of the driver. I just missed the fairway with my tee shot on our tenth hole, my ball was sitting down in the rough, I hit a high eight iron from 147 yards. My ball landed just left of the pin jumped about four feet and stopped dead. I'm going to play this ball now, with tax in the cost is approx. $ 40.00 ( Can. ) fantastic value for such a quality ball. I can't offer an opinion on the Mizuno Tour ball as I haven't tried it ,, but I will ,, great job Mizuno but I wouldn't expect anything else ,,
Rick, I'd love to see you do more videos like this; full set of Cleveland clubs with a premium ball, full set of Wilson Staff, etc. Would be interesting to see more stuff other than just what the Big 3 has to offer. Cheers!
I put my TaylorMade Mc's in the closet a couple of months ago and started hitting my old Maxfli Australian Blades from college for a few rounds. This rekindled my love for blades. I just last week put a new set of Mizuno MP 20 blades in my bag for this year as well as a T20 52 degree gap wedge. Can't wait for the weather to get warmer.
I’ve used Mizuno gear in the past and they’ve always performed for me. I had a couple of the Bettinardi putters, they were gorgeous. Had MP30 irons when I first broke 80. Used a Mizuno MP001 fairway wood for years and the last set of wedges I had were black T4 wedges that my son still uses, great wedges! I also had their previous tour ball, the MP-S and it was perfectly fine. Just as good as any other tour caliber ball. I honestly think that a lot of the reason you don’t see more Mizuno gear in peoples bags boils down to 1) marketing 2) tour endorsement 3) basic awareness
I’ve hit the new mizuno driver. The st 200 g and it was beautiful. Loved the look behind the ball and the feel was great. Best of the ones I hit in my opinion
What?!?? The M craft putter is AMAZING. It feels so good! I went to a PGA Superstore and tested all the new putters and the standouts were the Bettnardi BB1, Scotty Cameron Newport 2 AND the Mizuno M Craft 2 (I bought it). To each their own, but I think a putter review of those 3 would be a great video!
Funny you say that... I went to the PGA Superstore 2 weeks ago and bought a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 as well (I've always wanted a Scotty). But between then and yesterday, I've been seeing the blue M Craft 2 a lot. I went back yesterday "just to look" and ended up buying that putter as well. Funny thing, the M Craft feels just as good as the Scotty, and the grip on the M Craft is MILES better in my opinion. I'm not returning the Scotty, so now I'm left with keeping the M Craft which I really like, or returning it because I have no real need for it. And if I return the M Craft 2 and play the Scotty, how much of a sin would it be to throw a Lamkin grip on the Scotty?
I just picked up the Mizuno ST190 Driver and Fairway Wood. Absolutely in LOVE with them. I am a HIGH handicap golfer (15+) and the biggest area I struggle in is driving. There are still a ton of things I need to work on, but the driver and wood are so much more forgiving, I find I am hitting them straighter and on target, which is really helping my over all game.
i dont play mizuno anything in baseball but im still a mizuno golf fanboy lol. i play second hand mp59s and just picked up the st190 3 wood. they just do what i want them to.
In my opinion this is a fantastic video! I love Mizuno! Just as the greatest brands (rolls Roy’s, Ferrari) they don’t do crazy marketing like a Honda or Kia or Lincoln cars. For the ‘smart’ golfer Mizuno is a Must. In my opinion!
So Rick I work over in a golf shop in wa state, and we have alot of young to old customers that watch your vids. This hopfully will get more buzz around the wedges, putters, driver and ball cause like you said some are just as good as other offerings from top brands. Exposure to public is definitely to blame but if you know about them and hit them the results for many will speak for themselves. Mizuno is class all the way through!
I want to say thank you for taking your time to teach us and giveing advice!👍 It really helps out alot and I have been breaking 80 regularly. Needless to say I am verry happy with what you have told me. It would be awesome to be able to play with you someday Rick. 🤙 Thank's again! Justin Hensley
I play with mizuno ez forged irons and t7 50,54,58 wedges and I absolutely love them I haven't found anything else I like more than them I can't see me changing any time soon.
Hi Rick, great video! I've been playing an all-Mizuno bag for years, including the ball and actual bag. Granted, I used to work for Mizuno Golf in Scandinavia 😎 But still, I couldn't be happier with irons and wedges. They are truly phenomenal! The RB Tour ball is good, and so was the old TP Tour. I've just recently added a Cobra F8+ driver to the bag, but now the new ST200 got me thinking of going back to the mothership again 😅
Love my Mp20 and T20 wedges, my current driver is almost 10 years old so a little overdue for a new one, that st200 has caught my eye. I love Mizuno, but I dont think you should ever play a full set of one brand, the odds of it all fitting you correctly are very small. Love the vids Rick keep it up.
disagree.... if you like everything out of that brand then play it... that's what's wrong with people these days. they care about what others are playing and trash them for what they have. then focusing on what's in their own bag. but I guarentee if a company of clubs offered rick lots of money he would sign in a heart beat... but like I was saying... worry about your own game then what others are doing... stop judging people for having one brand of clubs in the bag....
@@hoodedcobra1531 overreact much jeez man I didnt say any of that, I could care less what anyone plays I live by the whatever works method. I just feel that the odds of 1 single company from driver to ball "fitting" you correctly is very small but hey if you like it do whatever makes you happy. I also doubt that Rick would sign with them, the way he operates now allows him the freedom to be completely transparent and test products without the bias of being supported by a single brand. I would much rather listen to a guy who isnt paid and gives his honest opinion on the product.
They're amazing clubs. I'm on my second set and love them. I love the ability to seamlessly mix a set with more forgiving longer irons and a driving iron. I've played their woods before and they are absolutely top notch too.
Just recently switched to mizuno golf balls. Love the soft feel around the green and off the irons. My brother had a mizuno putter I used to borrow but it disappeared. Looking to get a new one hopefully one day.
I had 3 Mizuno S5 wedges in my bag and recently swapped them out for some Cobra King blacks to match my Forged tec colour. Long story short, Cobras are nice but wish i kept the Mizuno's
Great video again Rick. I play all one brand (Cobra) apart from my old dad's putter but only because they give me similar numbers for a lot less money! Cheers
I don’t use mizuno... I don’t use any brand.... I don’t and more than likely can’t play golf but I stumbled across this channel and I really enjoy it! I now want to take up golf, Thankyou RUclips for telling me what I need to do 😂😂
Rick with all the talk of "the ball goes to far" bs, you should do a video of balls that you can work from right to left or left to right. Like aim left and try and hit the center of fairway and vice versa. Haven't seen a video like that yet. I think a review of the most "workable" ball would be pretty cool. Love the videos man. Keep'em comin.
Renently got some JPX919 Forged irons after upgrading from a 10 year old Callaway Razr X set and the mizuno's feel like heaven. I actually went into the shop with my heart set on some P790's but after trying a few brands (ping and titleist as well as mizuno and tm) the JPX919's felt the best by far. The performance then reflected that after i'd settled down after hitting a few shots. They gave me so much confidence. I've never spent so much so easily in one go. I had to make sure they were coming with me when i left the shop.
Mizuno iron fan boy here. 16' jpx Ez forged in nickel black. 🖤 So crisp and pure feeling. Hope to get good enough through the premium advice I've received from this channel to move into some mp20s some day. Haven't bothered with anything else in their line. Thank you for the comprehensive insight into their other products.
The Mcraft putter is my dream putter. It’s sadly too much for me, so I decided to watch videos on it for fun and saw this! Didn’t realize you’d made this video and was thrilled Just saw you’re review of the putter and it’s a little bit of a bummer to hear you say that since that’s the exact model and color I’d pick but I’m not deterred. From what ive seen and looked at it still looks like the putter for me, so someday!
Yeah i saw that review too, plus some others so I thought Rick's comments were a bit odd. Putter is made from forged carbon steel, same as the irons so you would think the putter should feel like butter.
@@stewarth794 well first off learn how to speak coherently, secondly my average carry with my m3 is 288ish at the moment and thirdly you can find my state tournament records, Hooters tour made cuts from back in the day and omg I even have a pga instructor certification..... BUT I'M THE GUY THAT WILL GIVE YOU MY ADDRESS, PAY FOR YOUR ROUND AND SPOT YOU 10 SHOTS ON A 1000$ BET... SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ME UP ON THAT
Stop trying to aim digs at crossfield with quotes such as ‘I would never take a sponsorship deal because I like to stay impartial’. Crossfield love him or loath him was the one who started golf on RUclips and we should always respect him for that.
Last year I bought a sleeve of Mizuno tour golf balls. I holed out a 158 yard iron shot from the fairway. It felt very good, quite straight, slightly lower flight than I like. You could tell it was a premium ball.
I've had my Mizuno Bettinardi C-06 putter for a few years now, and I don't think I'll be changing it any time soon, absolutely love it. I'm also gaming the Mizuno MP-18 MMC Fli-Hi 2 iron as my driving iron, really great club as well.
I just bought the ST-Z driver after demoing for a few rounds. Got the st190 3 wood and the MP-H5’s from a few years back. Only thing not mizuno in my bag are wedges putter and balls, I love the ones I have.
Hey Rick, one thing a lot of people don't realize about Mizuno. Is that Mizuno does NOT upcharge to order custom clubs with custom shafts and grips. Everyone else charges way more to upgrade shafts and grips.
Brilliant review Rick. No one out there is reviewing Mizuno like this. Mizuno are not easy to find to demo. Rick beating every RUclips reviewer to the punch... again 🥊 🥊
Rick, I had a 50* T7, 54 S18 and 60 S18 Mizuno wedges. I still have the 50* T7 and love it since it blends well with my Mp18 irons. However, I found the S18 wedges to play less bounce than labelled (assuming the rest of the industry is accurate in their marking of bounce) and, most of all, the leading edge would blunt in the ground. I also found they had lighter head weights than Vokey SM7's, which created inconsistency in my game. Currently have SM7, not a fan boy, but the leading edge is what I like and the weight is perfect. Cheers.
I absolutely love my GT-180 driver! I was between that or the rouge driver back in the day and playing with it to this day 2 years later; it still plays like the day I first played with it! I probably won’t hit another driver to be perfectly honest it just hits so well!
Rick - a huge fan. Would love to see you review more Miura irons, maybe do a comparison between Mizuno and Miura irons. Anyone looking to buy Mizuno irons would be interested I think.
I’ve got everything except the putter and balls. MX23 irons, MP001 Driver, 3-4-5-7 Woods, ST180 Driver, and 2 T7 Wedges with the blue finish. Got the bag too.
I got Mizuna JPX 919 forged clubs and i love them. The best clubs i have own until now. Also got the Mizuna ST180 driver, i like it alot and i see better performance with that than my old Taylormade driver. I have also tried the Mizuna balls, they are nice. I like the look of them but i have had better overall golfballs. Wedges and putter are from Titleist and Ping and i would probably not swap them for Misuna. Its good to have more brands in the bag, just try to find the one that you like playing with. But a great review from you Rick and looking forward to the next one.
I'm a big Mizuno fan. Switched from Titleist irons a few years ago after starting with T7 wedges and never looked back. Added Driver, 3W and Hybrids since. Then I found MP-X balls on line for $17 dz and though I'd give them a try. Loved them and still play them today. While I love the look of the new putters, I'm not sure you're ever going to pry the Ping Piper 3 from my hands, especially after your review.
I was fit into JPX919 forged irons last year and absolutely love them, hadn’t intended on getting wedges but tried the Mizuno S18’s and they performed and felt incredible and been in the bag since, I’ll always consider Mizuno wedges from now on
Excellent assessment! I put the ST200 in the bag after demoing the TS2 and M5 for quite a while and I couldn’t be happier 6 months on. I also had the M craft 2 in the bag for a bit but I was disappointed with its performance as you mentioned so I back in the bag went my Scotty. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Love Mizuno irons...owned several sets and now still playing the MP18s. Have a MP20 HMB 2 iron. Also love Mizuno wedges. Play the T7 blue 52 and already have a 52 S20 wedge (blue) standing ready for the 2020 season. Could also have played a Mizuno driver and fairwaywood but already got the TS3 and Mizuno didn’t outperformed the TS3 but held up with it and that surprised me. My custom fitted Edel putter never leaves the bag. Didn’t quite like the Mizuno ball and especially not for the amount of money you have to pay for it, because for that price you can just as well stick to ProV1X or TP5.
Rick, but the best reason to see you're videos is to show us that not only taylormade our Callaway are the best options out there. You should be doing NG more reviews of brands outside the top 4. Once the SIM came out there were 7 different reviews of it. That shows you how bias we are. Gives options, show us numbers that prove that the top 4 are not the only options. I have a mix bag but since I was in my 20's I decided to have at least a cobra and a Mizuno club in it
The Mizuno MP 20s are the best irons EVER made. I said what I said. Put them in the bag this year and they will be there forever. Great video Rick! I think you’re on to something with the marketing question. Titleist, TM and Callaway just shove their products down our throats and it’s easy as consumers to think that they’re head and shoulders better. Having said this...the new TM SIM driver is one mean-looong-nasty primary weapon.💪
Had the opportunity to hit the ST200 series yesterday. Absolutely loved them. Had my spin down under 2800 which is an accomplishment given my current driver numbers! Can hardly wait to test a couple different shafts. A prominent candidate for my bag.
Recently decided to buy new clubs. Mizuno ST190 3 and 5 woods, Mizuno JPX919 HM Pro irons and Mizuno S18 wedges. I haven't hit a bad shot with them. Unfortunately I haven't hit ANY shot with them yet due to course closures!
I am a equipment junkie and try EVERYTHING. The only club to stay in my bag all of last year was the ST 190 driver. Others performed very well but nothing could kick it out of my bag. If people do not look at the Mizuno driver and fairway woods they are missing out!
Great video Rick! I have been using a Mizuno st180 driver that I picked up second hand and built a shaft for it spect for me for the last two months and it’s been awesome. It’s by far the best driver I’ve owned, and I’ve owned ALOT of them! I will continue to use mizuno drivers for as long as I golf and highly recommend other people at least give them a go.
Hi Rick. In all my years of playing golf I've never tried any Mizuno clubs at all. I've always assumed that they're aimed at the low handicap (cat 1 ) golfers and pros and not at a 10 handicap player. Things may well have improved with thier range over the years particularly with drivers but i'm still 'scared' of the irons even though they're the best looking clubs by far.
give them a try the hot metals are considered some of the most forgiving out there, paired with the right shaft you will love what they do. They also look worlds better than most other irons in the game improvement category.
I picked up a like new used Mizuno ST180 driver last year, and the low spin driver was not for me. I had golf balls falling out of the air about 150 yards out and killing worms but the thousands for the next 50 yards, I know I'm old but for craps sake I did not think my swing speed was that low. Then I grabbed my driver Cobra f8 with a VA Vylyn 55 gram stiff shaft and was carrying the ball 205 plus yards again with a very decent flight and rolling out to 220/230 yards. Low spin Mizuno drivers suck for older guys, but then old age suck for old guys. Good video Rick, thanks.
*LIKE* this comment if you think I should have used a Mizuno bag 😂
That putter looks lovely!
Come on Rick your skimping on the mizuno 🤣
You should have worn Mizuno shoes
You should have worn Mizuno shoes
First thing I noticed was the tm bag tut tut

Pretty good ball if you ask me

I’m right there with you i game Mizuno everything except hybrid and putter.
Mizuno JPX 800 driver, JPX EZ Forged Irons, and S5 wedges for me. Game Cobra F8 woods and a Nike putter tho.
Beardo wondering if i should go for the m-craft 2 putter, do you have any experience with their putters ?

The blue wedge looks really cool.
I sometimes just sit and stroke my new mp 20's whilst watching tv.
So thats what you kids are calling it now days?
Hope you put an extra hottie in the bed for them!))

I own a mizuno wedge! The reason why I own it, it’s the most consistent wedge for me.
I have a 50* S18, it's a great step from my MP18 MB PW
I’ve hit the new mizuno driver. The st 200 g and it was beautiful. Loved the look behind the ball and the feel was great. Best of the ones I hit in my opinion
Just traded my old Titleist 910 for an ST190 today. Mizuno really stepped out for the ST series, what a showing from a predominate iron maker.
What?!?? The M craft putter is AMAZING. It feels so good! I went to a PGA Superstore and tested all the new putters and the standouts were the Bettnardi BB1, Scotty Cameron Newport 2 AND the Mizuno M Craft 2 (I bought it).

This hopfully will get more buzz around the wedges, putters, driver and ball cause like you said some are just as good as other offerings from top brands. Exposure to public is definitely to blame but if you know about them and hit them the results for many will speak for themselves. Mizuno is class all the way through!

Love all these clubs feel so nice to hit with.
Rick you don't disappoint. Honest informative and unbiased again. You are the David Attenbough of all things GOLF. All the best Pete

Yeah haha!
I balanced it out I've gamed a mizuno bag and Taylormade clubs for years 😂
Love my Mp20 and T20 wedges, my current driver is almost 10 years old so a little overdue for a new one, that st200 has caught my eye. I love Mizuno, but I dont think you should ever play a full set of one brand, the odds of it all fitting you correctly are very small. Love the vids Rick keep it up.
disagree.... if you like everything out of that brand then play it... that's what's wrong with people these days. they care about what others are playing and trash them for what they have. then focusing on what's in their own bag. but I guarentee if a company of clubs offered rick lots of money he would sign in a heart beat... but like I was saying... worry about your own game then what others are doing... stop judging people for having one brand of clubs in the bag....
@@hoodedcobra1531 overreact much jeez man I didnt say any of that, I could care less what anyone plays I live by the whatever works method. I just feel that the odds of 1 single company from driver to ball "fitting" you correctly is very small but hey if you like it do whatever makes you happy. I also doubt that Rick would sign with them, the way he operates now allows him the freedom to be completely transparent and test products without the bias of being supported by a single brand. I would much rather listen to a guy who isnt paid and gives his honest opinion on the product.
Will you be doing a full review of the st200 driver lineup? Would love to see how it/they compare to last years st190!!
The golf warehouse has done a head to head. He gained 14yds. It's on RUclips somewhere
See rick! When you make a tremendous video you don’t need a click baity title. Great video. Entertaining and educational. Thanks again
I'm actually looking to upgrade my irons to Mizuno for a few years now. This might push me over the edge and pull the trigger!
Im a low marker and i finally got fitted for jpx919 tours. Pure! The feel is great. Definitely try a few is my suggestion.
They're amazing clubs. I'm on my second set and love them. I love the ability to seamlessly mix a set with more forgiving longer irons and a driving iron. I've played their woods before and they are absolutely top notch too.
Love my mizuno putter, I’ve found a few mizuno golf balls but never used one
Just recently switched to mizuno golf balls. Love the soft feel around the green and off the irons. My brother had a mizuno putter I used to borrow but it disappeared. Looking to get a new one hopefully one day.
Hey Rick, I wanted to hear about the 3 wood as well?
Beautiful clubs. Great video!
Thanks !
Great video Rick. Love the original idea.
Thanks
I had 3 Mizuno S5 wedges in my bag and recently swapped them out for some Cobra King blacks to match my Forged tec colour. Long story short, Cobras are nice but wish i kept the Mizuno's
With all the wild and gawdy putter shapes i've seen on the market, I find Mizuno's understated putter design quite refreshing.
Great vid Rick close to first 😂❤️💪
Love the looks of a Mizuno finished the vid and loved it 👌❤️
What about the bag?? :)
I love that blue finish, if anything it draws me towards Mizuno.
Mizuno briefly worked with Bettinardi to make putters a few years back. I had one and the feel was superb.
The putters arent available for lefties so I will match my spider with my TM bag 😊
Your spider is way better than that blue shit if we're being real lol
i just bought a set of mp5 irons. i love them, "nothing feels like mizuno"
Great video again Rick. I play all one brand (Cobra) apart from my old dad's putter but only because they give me similar numbers for a lot less money! Cheers
I don’t use mizuno... I don’t use any brand.... I don’t and more than likely can’t play golf but I stumbled across this channel and I really enjoy it! I now want to take up golf, Thankyou RUclips for telling me what I need to do 😂😂
I won’t lie those clubs look so nice
Looks like I made a right decision. I'm using mizuno irons and wedges, the best of mizuno .
Rick with all the talk of "the ball goes to far" bs, you should do a video of balls that you can work from right to left or left to right. Like aim left and try and hit the center of fairway and vice versa. Haven't seen a video like that yet. I think a review of the most "workable" ball would be pretty cool. Love the videos man. Keep'em comin.
Renently got some JPX919 Forged irons after upgrading from a 10 year old Callaway Razr X set and the mizuno's feel like heaven. I actually went into the shop with my heart set on some P790's but after trying a few brands (ping and titleist as well as mizuno and tm) the JPX919's felt the best by far. The performance then reflected that after i'd settled down after hitting a few shots. They gave me so much confidence. I've never spent so much so easily in one go. I had to make sure they were coming with me when i left the shop.
Mizuno Clubs aesthetically are the sexiest out there. Rick have you been hitting the gym you're looking Ripped 🏋️♂️
I remember when golfballs were full of tightly packed rubber bands!
Mizuno iron fan boy here. 16' jpx Ez forged in nickel black. 🖤 So crisp and pure feeling. Hope to get good enough through the premium advice I've received from this channel to move into some mp20s some day. Haven't bothered with anything else in their line. Thank you for the comprehensive insight into their other products.
The Mcraft putter is my dream putter. It’s sadly too much for me, so I decided to watch videos on it for fun and saw this! Didn’t realize you’d made this video and was thrilled
Just saw you’re review of the putter and it’s a little bit of a bummer to hear you say that since that’s the exact model and color I’d pick but I’m not deterred. From what ive seen and looked at it still looks like the putter for me, so someday!
Man that's really weird you say that about the putter when every single person I've talked to said it feels amazing... Even the guys from my golf spy
I demo'ed it at the PGA show and it looks and feels incredible
Maybe it would've been better if it had been fitted for him .
Yeah i saw that review too, plus some others so I thought Rick's comments were a bit odd.
Putter is made from forged carbon steel, same as the irons so you would think the putter should feel like butter.
Your the guy that says you hit 290 with your m3 and won’t get rid of it ..... yet we do not see you got a shot plus 2 .... 👀👌 prove it
@@stewarth794 well first off learn how to speak coherently, secondly my average carry with my m3 is 288ish at the moment and thirdly you can find my state tournament records, Hooters tour made cuts from back in the day and omg I even have a pga instructor certification..... BUT I'M THE GUY THAT WILL GIVE YOU MY ADDRESS, PAY FOR YOUR ROUND AND SPOT YOU 10 SHOTS ON A 1000$ BET... SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ME UP ON THAT
Not exactly sure how a putter can feel "flimsy".
That blue finish on the putter and the gap wedge is gorgeous.
Great test and the results were revealing. How about the same test of the Wilson staff line (particularly the D7 driver).
But the bag still taylormade lmao
Stop trying to aim digs at crossfield with quotes such as ‘I would never take a sponsorship deal because I like to stay impartial’. Crossfield love him or loath him was the one who started golf on RUclips and we should always respect him for that.
Last year I bought a sleeve of Mizuno tour golf balls. I holed out a 158 yard iron shot from the fairway. It felt very good, quite straight, slightly lower flight than I like. You could tell it was a premium ball.
Mizuno Is consistently overlooked and is criminally underrated for their golf clubs . The best on the market price wise
I've had my Mizuno Bettinardi C-06 putter for a few years now, and I don't think I'll be changing it any time soon, absolutely love it. I'm also gaming the Mizuno MP-18 MMC Fli-Hi 2 iron as my driving iron, really great club as well.
I just bought the ST-Z driver after demoing for a few rounds. Got the st190 3 wood and the MP-H5’s from a few years back. Only thing not mizuno in my bag are wedges putter and balls, I love the ones I have.
Just got 5-SW in the JPX 919 Hot Metal Pro, and they are like butter. Absolutely love my new Mizuno clubs.
Hey Rick, one thing a lot of people don't realize about Mizuno. Is that Mizuno does NOT upcharge to order custom clubs with custom shafts and grips. Everyone else charges way more to upgrade shafts and grips.
Brilliant review Rick. No one out there is reviewing Mizuno like this. Mizuno are not easy to find to demo. Rick beating every RUclips reviewer to the punch... again 🥊 🥊
Rick, I had a 50* T7, 54 S18 and 60 S18 Mizuno wedges. I still have the 50* T7 and love it since it blends well with my Mp18 irons. However, I found the S18 wedges to play less bounce than labelled (assuming the rest of the industry is accurate in their marking of bounce) and, most of all, the leading edge would blunt in the ground. I also found they had lighter head weights than Vokey SM7's, which created inconsistency in my game.
Currently have SM7, not a fan boy, but the leading edge is what I like and the weight is perfect. Cheers.
I finally got me a set of Mizuno irons, driver and fairway wood a couple of years ago. Absolutely love them!
They all make beautiful clubs. Mizuno makes great clubs. Irons and Drivers. Wow!!!
I absolutely love my GT-180 driver! I was between that or the rouge driver back in the day and playing with it to this day 2 years later; it still plays like the day I first played with it! I probably won’t hit another driver to be perfectly honest it just hits so well!
Rick - a huge fan. Would love to see you review more Miura irons, maybe do a comparison between Mizuno and Miura irons. Anyone looking to buy Mizuno irons would be interested I think.
I’ve got everything except the putter and balls. MX23 irons, MP001 Driver, 3-4-5-7 Woods, ST180 Driver, and 2 T7 Wedges with the blue finish. Got the bag too.
Idk the more I look at that putter the more I love the look!!!!
I got Mizuna JPX 919 forged clubs and i love them. The best clubs i have own until now. Also got the Mizuna ST180 driver, i like it alot and i see better performance with that than my old Taylormade driver. I have also tried the Mizuna balls, they are nice. I like the look of them but i have had better overall golfballs. Wedges and putter are from Titleist and Ping and i would probably not swap them for Misuna. Its good to have more brands in the bag, just try to find the one that you like playing with. But a great review from you Rick and looking forward to the next one.
I'm a big Mizuno fan. Switched from Titleist irons a few years ago after starting with T7 wedges and never looked back. Added Driver, 3W and Hybrids since. Then I found MP-X balls on line for $17 dz and though I'd give them a try. Loved them and still play them today. While I love the look of the new putters, I'm not sure you're ever going to pry the Ping Piper 3 from my hands, especially after your review.
I was fit into JPX919 forged irons last year and absolutely love them, hadn’t intended on getting wedges but tried the Mizuno S18’s and they performed and felt incredible and been in the bag since, I’ll always consider Mizuno wedges from now on
Excellent assessment! I put the ST200 in the bag after demoing the TS2 and M5 for quite a while and I couldn’t be happier 6 months on. I also had the M craft 2 in the bag for a bit but I was disappointed with its performance as you mentioned so I back in the bag went my Scotty.
Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Love Mizuno irons...owned several sets and now still playing the MP18s. Have a MP20 HMB 2 iron. Also love Mizuno wedges. Play the T7 blue 52 and already have a 52 S20 wedge (blue) standing ready for the 2020 season. Could also have played a Mizuno driver and fairwaywood but already got the TS3 and Mizuno didn’t outperformed the TS3 but held up with it and that surprised me. My custom fitted Edel putter never leaves the bag. Didn’t quite like the Mizuno ball and especially not for the amount of money you have to pay for it, because for that price you can just as well stick to ProV1X or TP5.
I just started gaming the T20’s in a 50&54 and I love them got good performance out of the RB Tour as well
I've been playing all mizuno since 1990. Good to see you catching up LOL
Not quite 30 years but 15 years. Won't change.
Mizuno's head cover game is spot on! That driver and putter head covers are really sharp!
Rick, but the best reason to see you're videos is to show us that not only taylormade our Callaway are the best options out there. You should be doing NG more reviews of brands outside the top 4.
Once the SIM came out there were 7 different reviews of it. That shows you how bias we are. Gives options, show us numbers that prove that the top 4 are not the only options.
I have a mix bag but since I was in my 20's I decided to have at least a cobra and a Mizuno club in it
yea i just bought a Mizuno Driver yesterday...ST @200. Cant wait to get it on the range in the next few day.
The Mizuno MP 20s are the best irons EVER made. I said what I said.
Put them in the bag this year and they will be there forever. Great video Rick! I think you’re on to something with the marketing question. Titleist, TM and Callaway just shove their products down our throats and it’s easy as consumers to think that they’re head and shoulders better.
Having said this...the new TM SIM driver is one mean-looong-nasty primary weapon.💪
I just bought a set of MP54s off ebay. Bit of an upgrade from my old Maxflis. Can't wait to get back on course
Had the opportunity to hit the ST200 series yesterday. Absolutely loved them. Had my spin down under 2800 which is an accomplishment given my current driver numbers! Can hardly wait to test a couple different shafts. A prominent candidate for my bag.
Recently decided to buy new clubs. Mizuno ST190 3 and 5 woods, Mizuno JPX919 HM Pro irons and Mizuno S18 wedges. I haven't hit a bad shot with them. Unfortunately I haven't hit ANY shot with them yet due to course closures!
I play the Tour X ball and absolutely love it. The control and consistency I get from it is insane.
I am a equipment junkie and try EVERYTHING. The only club to stay in my bag all of last year was the ST 190 driver. Others performed very well but nothing could kick it out of my bag. If people do not look at the Mizuno driver and fairway woods they are missing out!
Bought a Mizuno ST180HL and ST190 Driver and Tour X Mizuno Balls for this upcoming season. Thanks Rick for your reviews! 👍🏼
Great video Rick! I have been using a Mizuno st180 driver that I picked up second hand and built a shaft for it spect for me for the last two months and it’s been awesome. It’s by far the best driver I’ve owned, and I’ve owned ALOT of them! I will continue to use mizuno drivers for as long as I golf and highly recommend other people at least give them a go.
Hi Rick. In all my years of playing golf I've never tried any Mizuno clubs at all. I've always assumed that they're aimed at the low handicap (cat 1 ) golfers and pros and not at a 10 handicap player. Things may well have improved with thier range over the years particularly with drivers but i'm still 'scared' of the irons even though they're the best looking clubs by far.
give them a try the hot metals are considered some of the most forgiving out there, paired with the right shaft you will love what they do. They also look worlds better than most other irons in the game improvement category.
I picked up a like new used Mizuno ST180 driver last year, and the low spin driver was not for me. I had golf balls falling out of the air about 150 yards out and killing worms but the thousands for the next 50 yards, I know I'm old but for craps sake I did not think my swing speed was that low. Then I grabbed my driver Cobra f8 with a VA Vylyn 55 gram stiff shaft and was carrying the ball 205 plus yards again with a very decent flight and rolling out to 220/230 yards. Low spin Mizuno drivers suck for older guys, but then old age suck for old guys. Good video Rick, thanks.
