‘I came here for the shiny things.’ That had me laughing out loud. I certainly understand your excitement. New irons are fun, but to be fitted by the company guys would put me over the moon. I’ve loved and played Mizuno irons for many years. I’m currently playing the 919 Hot Metal Pros and love them. And they’re shiny, too! lol
I've always been a Mizuno fan, I took the big step and was professionally fitted for irons a year ago. I'm a senior golfer with a nine handicap, we decided to go with the JPX 900 Hot Metal. The fitter was well qualified and so meticulous right down to the wrap on the grips ,, we went with a Recoil UST shafts. In all my years of playing golf being fitted was the best single thing I have ever done, I just love those irons ,, and they were built for me.
Got fitted today for MP20 HMB and I couldn't be happier. Completely transformed my golf shot. It's almost beyond comprehension. Stopped fighting the clubs I had and got something that helped aide my swing, shaft and length adjustments deserve credit too.
I went to a mizuno fitting last Saturday for the first time ever. I ended up with P-8 blade 7-6 mmc and 5-4 HMB. They got delivered today and I am sooo pumped. Perfect timing on the video. I have to say I think after this last week of mizuno experiences I think I am now a mizuno lifer. Thanks for the content! Paul - From Texas USA
in 2016 my son had a full custom fitting at PING HQ in Phoenix Arizona... It was a dream of a lifetime for my son as he was only 16 years of age and was treated as if he was a pro..... We ended up with a full set of PING Irons, wedges, woods, driver and putter! His pro coach (Joel Van der Sloot) arranged the fitting as he worked with PING when he was on the European PGA tour and boy did my son get the first class treatment! After a 3 1/2 hour fitting he was allowed into the plant to watch the making of his irons which was amazing! Although his irons were made in front of us we had to come back the next day to pick up the entire order of wedges, woods, drivers putter and bag along with the irons! Everything was done in the "TOUR" department of PING which allowed for us to watch the build. It truly was a once in a lifetime event and one my son will never forget! Since then my son's game has improved dramatically and he has been trying out different clubs form various manufactures. Which brings me to a major change in my sons clubs and game!! Last year after playing 3 years with PING my son had a custom fitting by @Golf_Mizuno Rep Kris Wildenrandt in Las Vegas & has now switched from PING to Mizuno MP-18 MMC Iron set 4-PW W/Nippon Modus 3Tour105 shaft & Mizuno S18 50° & 54°Satin & 58° in Gun Metal . Sons handicap dropped from 3 to 1 over the last year and his only comment was "WOW" Thanks Mizuno! The Mizuno fitting was professional, informative and I would highly recommend any golfer to take advantage of there professional fitting & equipment! My son is looking at the new equipment out right now from Mizuno but is hesitance to make a change as his current clubs feel so great. I imagine in the near future he will be looking at the new club offers but for now he's really happy Thanks Mizuno for producing such great clubs and experience!!!
Love my MP20 mb's. I've been a Mizuno guy since the MP 33's. They are the best you can get. I would go nuts in the tour van with excitement.. very cool.
What handicap? Are the long-mids tough to hit? I'm a 10 handicap and just ordered a 3-PW MP20 blade set with my custom fit shaft by Club Champion. I'm having reservations about not listening to my fitter regarding the long-mid irons. My Club Champion fitter advised I get the MMCs in the long-mids and get the blades up top but I just couldn't resist the blades. I hit about 30 shots with a 7 iron MP-20 blade and maybe missed 1 of the 30. I also gave the 919 tour and the MMC a run and I just kept coming back to the MP-20 blade. So I pulled the trigger on all MP-20 blades.
@@Salfrado These are the easiest blades I've ever hit, long irons included. I don't buy into the handicap thing, as many things determine your handicap, so you should play what you want. You are going to really like them.
I love Mizuno. Played MP-30s for years and then MP-60s. Just got fitted for MP-20HMBs today. Cannot wait for them to arrive. They are the best feeling irons. Love the feed back and their look is always amazing.
I got a set of jpx 919 forged irons for Christmas. I can feel the excitement you had Pete and got mine fitted about a month ago. I can’t wait to use them only been the sim so far but the joy when I hit them wow. So excited for this canadian winter to be over.
Nothing like a Mizuno. Had a full fitting two weeks ago and 1st round shot 76 to a par of 72 off an 8 handicap. Even better was that it was done in 40 mile an hour winds last Saturday. Can’t ask for much more from a first go. I like you left my ego behind, really wanted the MP20 but the 919 hot metal pro was so much better for me and really happy with them. Looking forward to following your journey 👍
Comgrats. I have the SEL left handed MP20 set. There is nothing like a Mizuno. When you play with these you will instantly tell the difference from any other clubs out there. Enjoy your new set Peter.
I used to play with Callaway and Titleist irons, my handicap came down from 24 to 14 and then plateaued. I got myself Mx-25 Mizuno irons and my game improved a LOT. I went down to a 2 handicap . I still have the same set, of course changed the shaft etc. I do NOT intent to change my irons anytime soon. Best feel out there.

I play at a 9. I have been using blades since I started playing and was at a 17, then 14, then 12, now 9. Dont let people get to you with the blades. It just requires a sound swing that you can repeat and hit the middle of the club face every time,. You will be punished by off center hits. The blade forces me to swing with a solid frame and foundation to consistently hit the sweet spot.
@@TheGoldenriff this makes me feel better. I absolutely loved the blade feel. I think I do have a pretty sound swing. Now when you say punished, do you mean direction and/or distance? Because if it's more so punished with lack of distance, who would want a ball headed 30 yards right of target to travel the same distance? Wouldn't less distance keep you out of trouble more?
Mizuno is just Master Class! I've been playing my strusted MP33 until last year (from 2004). I have tried to find a replacement ever since but have failed. But then I noticed, you can still get them!!! Got a new set in my bag of those classic looking but modern performing pure blades in my bag. Stunning!
There’s undoubtedly great club manufacturers out there that all offer a great product and fitting service but you just can’t deny there’s something special about a set of Mizunos. I guess they’ve just had a reputation for quality and feel for as long as I can remember. I remember playing as a youngster and hitting the local pros blades on the range, it was instantly a feeling of pure excitement when the ball came off the face. Something I’ve remembered to this day and whilst I’m not playing them currently, I expect my next fitted set could see me playing Mizunos. Great vid and enjoying the content this so far now the shackles have come off again. 👍
This was funny, I just got home from my first ever club fitting where I got matched with a set of JPX 919 Hot Metal Pros, and this video is the first thing i see on RUclips! Absolutely loved my fitting, cant wait to get my clubs. Unfortunately no tour truck to build them for me. They felt almost identical to the 790's but were $50 a club less, so it was a no brainer. Those two clubs were leaps and bounds ahead of anything else I tested on. Looking forward to this golf season!!!! For anyone out there who has not been fitted, give it a try. The whole experience was very fun, and cool how the changes effect the results.
Lucky lucky man!! Have played mizuno blades since I was 15. Original tp19s 2i-pw, same with the mp14s and moved to mp4s 3 years ago. Cannot beat them. Looking forward to seeing you progress this year.
Sitting here, quarantined. No golf. Canada. Wet. Cold. Stuck in the house (I'd play). I'm so jealous. Absolutely my next set of irons. Currently playing the pro825s from 6 years ago. It's time. I think I need to check the new driver out as well. Cheers.
Pretty neat to see how the pros do it. My brother and I have been fit for clubs then we buy our clubs and adjust them ourselves! Something very satisfying about adjusting your clubs yourself! And we have no one else to blame except us!😜
I was just fitted for a set of HMBs today at Golf Galaxy here in the states. Was torn between the HMB and MMC. But the HMB to me just felt so phenomenal when I flushed them. So excited to get them and get out on the course as soon as the weather breaks.
great insight Pete, my first set of men's clubs Mizuno MS3 given to me by my club pro-Doug McClelland, Setup up by Barry Willet himself at St. Georges Hills the original Mizuno club-fitter great times, great clubs and used them for 25 years :-)
I got a used pair of MP-32's & got them adjusted for my ball flight & WOW did it help my ball striking! New clubs are little out of my price range. Lol! Love the video, Pete!!
Excellent choice Mr Finch. Mizuno have the purest feel of any brand I've tried and tested. Nice to see mr Alex Thorne on your video. I used to play with him as a junior at Windlesham GC. Enjoy those irons.
Just ordered the jpx 919 forged 4 and 5 iron to go with the rest of my set of jpx 919 tours! Nothing more special than getting a proper fitting Peter! This video was revisiting my own fitting in America! Enjoy
You should make a video playing one ball with your new clubs and one with last year's bag to really see if there's a big difference! Love the videos Pete, you're a legend and a blast to watch
I have had my old MX-15s for about 16 years now and they are the last subject to change in my bag (Only Mizuno item as well). Well...., unless I get the chance to upgrade to new Mizunos like you Finchy. Good stuff, Pete 👍 the combo set is a thing of beauty!
I’ve been playing MPs for years! I can get rid of them, custom fit and everything, it feels like I’m dreaming every time I hit them! My rival and buddy during Jr golf played the JPX and those are amazing as well! It is true that nothing feels like a Mizuno
Usually gaming Mizuno JPX-800 irons, I've just won an eBay auction for a set of beautiful MP-32 reshafted with KBS C-TAPER LITE shafts. Love at first sight. Collected few days ago, can't wait to game'em, hopefully tomorrow. Nothin' feels like a grain flow forged Mizuno! Cheers from Italy!
i just got a new set of of mizuno mp-20 mmc with modus 120g stiff shafts and i absolutely love them i’m so excited to start my high school season on monday with them
Nothing wrong with the MMC’s!! I was in your exact situation wanting the shiny, beautiful blades. But the MMC’s were the better option in consistency for me
I got the MP-20 SEL as soon as they came out. I played MP-53s for years but always wanted a set of true Mizuno blades...they don't make them in lefty very often so when they do, you've got to grab them. Pete looked like a kid on Christmas Even when he was sitting on the stool.
An awesome and very funny watch - Pete turning on the magic and looking so happy, just like a kid in a candy store! I'm a complete Mizuno fanboy so this made me feel all cosy and fuzzy inside ;)
I was going to get a set of used Pings at Roger Dunn. Spent about three hours comparing 7-irons. But on the way out I saw a set of MP's. 7 iron. 161 yard. 3 yard draw. I was like. oh yea. I love my Mizuno's!!
You can't beat Mizuno irons. I had my first set back in the 1990's, T Zoid pro IIs, which are still in the loft. I am now playing a set of MP54s and love them.
I'm only slightly jealous. I'm sure you will be more than happy with your choice of clubs. I'm still playing my 13 year old MP32's so i could probably do with an upgrade. That fitting experience looks fabulous. 👍
The Mizuno MP-20s are the irons I’m eyeing. They look so good and they’re traditional in lofts with minimal offset. No cranked up loft, stock 7-iron goes 200 yards. I’ve played over 15 years and never have had my own custom fit set, or any club for that matter, and I’m really looking at these.
Hi Peter, really like your videos on different clubs, and now looking at some of your instruction, which I think are even better! We have very similar clubs, the SIM driver, Ping 3 wood, putter and wedges. The only difference is that I have MB 20s (and Miura small blades, which I want to keep for nice as a collectors item :) I have owned Mizunos in the past TP11s, TN 87s (which I sold to my son-in-law and are now going up in value!) and MP 29s. I have also hit MP14s and MP 68s. I also owned Epon Personals (MK2) Tour Blade (3 iron), which are forged by ENDO (who forge a lot of irons for the mainstream manufacturers) and Miura MB 001s. In my opinion most (Japanese) designers/manufacturers (other than Miura, because they spin weld the hosel to the head in a seperate process) forge/build too much off-set into the club head. I know that Mizunos have a nice soft feel and give you the impression of having a larger sweet spot (particularly compared to older mainstream forged blades), but it is also (to me) what has caused me to sell them in the past. I have actually got rid of the Mizunos because I got more feedback (about exactly where I was hitting the ball on the club face) from the Titleist's i have replaced them with (681Ts, 670s and even Tour Blades before that). Anyway enough with my rant, I do like the look of the MP 20s, as they have a lot less off-set than some of the other (Japanese) irons I have mentioned, and I would be keen to have a hit one day :). I do think though, in your case (you are a plenty talented enough player!) that you should have gone for blades right through the set. I mean look how well you played with the 'Tiger' Taylormade blades in your 'qualifying for the Open' video you made around the same time as getting the MP20s. Just my 2 cents worth and thanks for all the great info (your mate Rick as well!) :) Stay safe.
Wish I had these opportunities to get fitted for these irons. This channel among others have kept me motivated towards my goals for golf this year and helped me realized that I good fitting and a good coach can make a world of difference.
I was fitted at the Mizuno Experience Center in Atlanta last fall. The MP20 and MP20 MMC felt very similar to me with the MMC giving about 5% more carry. Decided to go with complete MMC set.
Went for a fitting at the start of last year with the same idea. Thought I'd have a split set of MP18 SC's and blades, came out with the full set of MMC's! Absolutely unbelievable set of irons, I know how excited you feel:-) Enjoy!
Know what Peter? You swing has very nicely evolved compared to last year (beginning 2019)! more fluid, more stable, more control congrats for the work you've done!
What a day!!! Beautiful clubs! I am looking forward to a Mizuno fitting with the HMB version. I have been playing a set of MP 23's for over 10 years. Time for a change!
I bought a set of Mizuno MP-32 and...wow! I’ve been playing for less than 2 years, and tried to stay away from blades for now, but I hit these ones straighter and more consistent than the Mavricks, which surprised me. I’m not advocating for blades, but in this specific instance...blades won hands down. I’m looking to get fitted for the newer irons new year
Perfect timing as I'm looked to get fitted for a set of Mizuno irons. Surprised the HMB's didn't make an appearance. That kind of fitting would be a dream for most golfers.
I put fitted mizuno mp18 (PW-8) and mp18sc (7-3) in the bag at the start of last year. Don't know if it was the fitting or what, but I haven't had a terrible iron day yet. Great choice Pete, the only bad part is you never want to get them dirty.
Just got me MMC’s as well, though MP18’s. Still brand new, on clearance. Just happened to be in the shaft I was fitted for too! A little cold here to play right now though, but golf season is coming soon. See you out there Mr. Finch, enjoy.
I bought the JPX 919 Hot Metals 4-PW last year and I love them. Even though they're the game improvement option they still feel great, sound great, and produce a beautiful and consistent ball flight.
Only just seen this Pete, just wanted to say I had the same problem. I’m nowhere near as good as you h/ cap 8 but I played blades for 3 years went and had professional fit for new clubs and ended up with callaway apex pro 19’s ( love them) but I thought they were to big and a bit too chunky for me. I was so so wrong, made my golf game easier and thus more enjoyable I too had to go for quality of strike and shot control over a shiny bag of clubs. I love what you did in this vid and hope more people listen and learn from it. Good work, your balance through strike is, sweeeeeeeeet! 👍🏻
Played the MP20 MMC at a demo day a week ago, wow what a feel, will probably go for same mix. So my MP57s are going to be replaced ( finally). Nothing feels like a Mizuno!
I have been with my MP-18 SC’s for years now, and absolutely love them. Super consistent distance, and just hug the greens. The feeling of hitting my 3 iron... pure bliss. Can’t wait to see what you go with.
I hit some of these today and they’re lovely! But I must say I hit them alongside my mp-33s and there wasn’t enough there to make me change. I think they’ll be in my bag forever at this rate!!
Same set-up as mine , except MP-18, MP18SC 7-5, MP-18MMC 4 iron. You will like the MMC it is very straight & consistent. You might consider Vokey SM-8 46 degree wedge. I use SM-7 with my set, bigger blade, a lot grooves & spin is great. If you you can find a set of used mp-4 's in good condition & cheap, pick them up. Classic Mizuno blades.
I have the Titleist CB irons which are basically the Titleist version of those Mizunos. They are AWESOME. Just the right balance of assistance and feel. Played Mizuno for years though. Great choice! :)
Great vid, got my MP20s fitted last year and love them. Two things surprised me: split at 7 iron, I went MMC 4-6 and MB 7-PW and you’re way better than me, and secondly lofts. 32 7 iron is std MMC whereas the MB is 34 degree so it’s obvious it would be longer. But reason I went MB is front to back dispersion with 34 MB was tighter. Anyway, great clubs, enjoy...
Omg this has changed my mind.. I have been torn to get fitted for a full set of Mizuno in March but the fitters I have spoken to I haven’t been impressed with.. so was thinking of just keeping my irons and getting fitted for the TM Sim driver, 3 wood and hybrid. Along with a couple of new wedges and looking at my irons later in the year. I just knew watching this was a bad idea
You can't go wrong with Mizuno irons and DG X100. It's a tried and true combination that's been used on Tour for decades. You can trust you 100% have the good enough tools to do the job! Remember, when Tiger first came on Tour, he had Mizuno irons and X100 shafts :P
We'd like to apologise for Matt's stream of one liners. We're sorry. Really sorry.
I loved that part he was awesome!
Soft in the middle but a nice firm tip. Classic
Don’t sweat it. Just send clubs 😅
Is fitting available for Joe public 10 handicap in your facility?

Pretty neat to see how the pros do it. My brother and I have been fit for clubs then we buy our clubs and adjust them ourselves! Something very satisfying about adjusting your clubs yourself! And we have no one else to blame except us!😜
Never been fitted for clubs before. Now I see why its important!! Get video Peter!!
Your grin while sat in the chair waiting for your clubs was priceless.
The first time i played golf i borrowed clubs from my uncle and used Mizuno irons! Absolutly loved playing with them, would love to own Mizuno clubs!
Pete THANK YOU for showcasing those beautiful PLANTS in the video!
Mp 54 with c taper 130 x since 2017...been very happy ever since and I couldn’t imagine playing anything but mizuno going forward ...👍🏻
I was just fitted for a set of HMBs today at Golf Galaxy here in the states. Was torn between the HMB and MMC. But the HMB to me just felt so phenomenal when I flushed them. So excited to get them and get out on the course as soon as the weather breaks.
great insight Pete, my first set of men's clubs Mizuno MS3 given to me by my club pro-Doug McClelland, Setup up by Barry Willet himself at St. Georges Hills the original Mizuno club-fitter great times, great clubs and used them for 25 years :-)
I got a used pair of MP-32's & got them adjusted for my ball flight & WOW did it help my ball striking! New clubs are little out of my price range. Lol! Love the video, Pete!!
Excellent choice Mr Finch. Mizuno have the purest feel of any brand I've tried and tested. Nice to see mr Alex Thorne on your video. I used to play with him as a junior at Windlesham GC. Enjoy those irons.
I might have got the the mb20 in the 6 iron but they know best all the Mizuno irons look Beautiful, happy for you Pete
Just ordered the jpx 919 forged 4 and 5 iron to go with the rest of my set of jpx 919 tours! Nothing more special than getting a proper fitting Peter! This video was revisiting my own fitting in America! Enjoy
You should make a video playing one ball with your new clubs and one with last year's bag to really see if there's a big difference! Love the videos Pete, you're a legend and a blast to watch
I have had my old MX-15s for about 16 years now and they are the last subject to change in my bag (Only Mizuno item as well). Well...., unless I get the chance to upgrade to new Mizunos like you Finchy. Good stuff, Pete 👍 the combo set is a thing of beauty!
Nothing feels like a Mizzy iron. Play their JPX900 pro forged, and they're lovely.
I’ve been playing MPs for years! I can get rid of them, custom fit and everything, it feels like I’m dreaming every time I hit them! My rival and buddy during Jr golf played the JPX and those are amazing as well! It is true that nothing feels like a Mizuno
Usually gaming Mizuno JPX-800 irons, I've just won an eBay auction for a set of beautiful MP-32 reshafted with KBS C-TAPER LITE shafts. Love at first sight. Collected few days ago, can't wait to game'em, hopefully tomorrow. Nothin' feels like a grain flow forged Mizuno!
Cheers from Italy!
I am so JEALOUS. Before my wife got really sick I had planned on a trip to Mizuno to be fitted for new clubs. You ROCK Mizuno and Peter!
i just got a new set of of mizuno mp-20 mmc with modus 120g stiff shafts and i absolutely love them i’m so excited to start my high school season on monday with them
LOL! "Plants....... Beautiful." Best video of the year Mr. Finch. Life goals, man. Happy for you. Let's go get that Open!
Nothing wrong with the MMC’s!! I was in your exact situation wanting the shiny, beautiful blades. But the MMC’s were the better option in consistency for me
I got the MP-20 SEL as soon as they came out. I played MP-53s for years but always wanted a set of true Mizuno blades...they don't make them in lefty very often so when they do, you've got to grab them. Pete looked like a kid on Christmas Even when he was sitting on the stool.
An awesome and very funny watch - Pete turning on the magic and looking so happy, just like a kid in a candy store! I'm a complete Mizuno fanboy so this made me feel all cosy and fuzzy inside ;)
I was going to get a set of used Pings at Roger Dunn. Spent about three hours comparing 7-irons. But on the way out I saw a set of MP's. 7 iron. 161 yard. 3 yard draw. I was like. oh yea. I love my Mizuno's!!
Nobody makes a better looking iron than Mizuno!! I love my JPX 900’s. Excited to see you play these this year.
Such a fun video to watch. Your personality really showed. Enjoy the new sticks!
You can't beat Mizuno irons. I had my first set back in the 1990's, T Zoid pro IIs, which are still in the loft. I am now playing a set of MP54s and love them.
They look absolutely amazing, I’ve just got my own JPX 919 tour irons. Qualify product 👍🏻👌🏻
I'm only slightly jealous. I'm sure you will be more than happy with your choice of clubs. I'm still playing my 13 year old MP32's so i could probably do with an upgrade. That fitting experience looks fabulous. 👍
I was fitted for Mp-18 blades last year, love the look and they are easy to hit. Didn’t want anything but Mizunos.
The Mizuno MP-20s are the irons I’m eyeing. They look so good and they’re traditional in lofts with minimal offset. No cranked up loft, stock 7-iron goes 200 yards. I’ve played over 15 years and never have had my own custom fit set, or any club for that matter, and I’m really looking at these.
Hi Peter, really like your videos on different clubs, and now looking at some of your instruction, which I think are even better! We have very similar clubs, the SIM driver, Ping 3 wood, putter and wedges. The only difference is that I have MB 20s (and Miura small blades, which I want to keep for nice as a collectors item :) I have owned Mizunos in the past TP11s, TN 87s (which I sold to my son-in-law and are now going up in value!) and MP 29s. I have also hit MP14s and MP 68s. I also owned Epon Personals (MK2) Tour Blade (3 iron), which are forged by ENDO (who forge a lot of irons for the mainstream manufacturers) and Miura MB 001s. In my opinion most (Japanese) designers/manufacturers (other than Miura, because they spin weld the hosel to the head in a seperate process) forge/build too much off-set into the club head. I know that Mizunos have a nice soft feel and give you the impression of having a larger sweet spot (particularly compared to older mainstream forged blades), but it is also (to me) what has caused me to sell them in the past. I have actually got rid of the Mizunos because I got more feedback (about exactly where I was hitting the ball on the club face) from the Titleist's i have replaced them with (681Ts, 670s and even Tour Blades before that). Anyway enough with my rant, I do like the look of the MP 20s, as they have a lot less off-set than some of the other (Japanese) irons I have mentioned, and I would be keen to have a hit one day :). I do think though, in your case (you are a plenty talented enough player!) that you should have gone for blades right through the set. I mean look how well you played with the 'Tiger' Taylormade blades in your 'qualifying for the Open' video you made around the same time as getting the MP20s. Just my 2 cents worth and thanks for all the great info (your mate Rick as well!) :) Stay safe.
Wish I had these opportunities to get fitted for these irons. This channel among others have kept me motivated towards my goals for golf this year and helped me realized that I good fitting and a good coach can make a world of difference.
I was fitted at the Mizuno Experience Center in Atlanta last fall. The MP20 and MP20 MMC felt very similar to me with the MMC giving about 5% more carry. Decided to go with complete MMC set.
I have not seen someone so excited for years!!
Went for a fitting at the start of last year with the same idea.
Thought I'd have a split set of MP18 SC's and blades, came out with the full set of MMC's!
Absolutely unbelievable set of irons, I know how excited you feel:-)
Enjoy!
Know what Peter? You swing has very nicely evolved compared to last year (beginning 2019)!
more fluid, more stable, more control
congrats for the work you've done!
What a day!!! Beautiful clubs! I am looking forward to a Mizuno fitting with the HMB version. I have been playing a set of MP 23's for over 10 years. Time for a change!
I bought a set of Mizuno MP-32 and...wow! I’ve been playing for less than 2 years, and tried to stay away from blades for now, but I hit these ones straighter and more consistent than the Mavricks, which surprised me. I’m not advocating for blades, but in this specific instance...blades won hands down. I’m looking to get fitted for the newer irons new year
Perfect timing as I'm looked to get fitted for a set of Mizuno irons. Surprised the HMB's didn't make an appearance. That kind of fitting would be a dream for most golfers.
I just got fit and picked up my set of MP20 blade and HMB split set. Barely had much of a chance to hit them but man they are just so beautiful.
MP-33 ….. work of art and super playability
Awww yeah. MP-33s have about 300k miles on them, but still going strong!
As you geeked out on your experience, I also geeked out from my work desk. Love Mizuno.
I put fitted mizuno mp18 (PW-8) and mp18sc (7-3) in the bag at the start of last year. Don't know if it was the fitting or what, but I haven't had a terrible iron day yet. Great choice Pete, the only bad part is you never want to get them dirty.
I've got a combo set of Mizuno MP-18 and MP-20s, from MP18, MP18SC, MP20 MMC, to MP20 HMB, they are awesome and the best set of irons I've ever had.
Was fitted for a set of the HMB’s. Absolutely thrilled with them. So buttery and shiny!
Just got me MMC’s as well, though MP18’s. Still brand new, on clearance. Just happened to be in the shaft I was fitted for too! A little cold here to play right now though, but golf season is coming soon. See you out there Mr. Finch, enjoy.
I bought the JPX 919 Hot Metals 4-PW last year and I love them. Even though they're the game improvement option they still feel great, sound great, and produce a beautiful and consistent ball flight.
Pete welcome to the Mizuno Family. Absolutely love mine.
Got fitted last year for set of mizuno 919 forged at Royal Birkdale. Day i'll never forget
Stoked for you Pete! I hope you enjoy them, better put those Tiger Irons in a case on your wall for safe keeping!
Peter you were like a child in a sweet shop, such excitement!!!!!!! Enjoy, just need the weather now, can you organise that please??????????
Congrats Pete, those are very good looking irons. Cant wait to see them on the course. I'm happy for ya.
Only just seen this Pete, just wanted to say I had the same problem. I’m nowhere near as good as you h/ cap 8 but I played blades for 3 years went and had professional fit for new clubs and ended up with callaway apex pro 19’s ( love them) but I thought they were to big and a bit too chunky for me.
I was so so wrong, made my golf game easier and thus more enjoyable I too had to go for quality of strike and shot control over a shiny bag of clubs.
I love what you did in this vid and hope more people listen and learn from it.
Good work, your balance through strike is, sweeeeeeeeet! 👍🏻
Played the MP20 MMC at a demo day a week ago, wow what a feel, will probably go for same mix. So my MP57s are going to be replaced ( finally). Nothing feels like a Mizuno!
Just bought myself a set of MP20-MMC... beautiful irons and a timely upgrade from my 10 year old+ MP-60s!
I have been with my MP-18 SC’s for years now, and absolutely love them. Super consistent distance, and just hug the greens. The feeling of hitting my 3 iron... pure bliss. Can’t wait to see what you go with.
I hit some of these today and they’re lovely! But I must say I hit them alongside my mp-33s and there wasn’t enough there to make me change. I think they’ll be in my bag forever at this rate!!
Same set-up as mine , except MP-18, MP18SC 7-5, MP-18MMC 4 iron. You will like the MMC it is very straight & consistent. You might consider Vokey SM-8 46 degree wedge. I use SM-7 with my set, bigger blade, a lot grooves & spin is great. If you you can find a set of used mp-4 's in good condition & cheap, pick them up. Classic Mizuno blades.
Pete, great choice in Mizuno, I got fitted 2 years ago for JPX 900’s with KBS shafts and love them, Mizuno makes great irons.
Charles Shall I’m thinking between ping and mizuno! What would you suggest! Also would you mind leaving a review on my video!
I have the Titleist CB irons which are basically the Titleist version of those Mizunos. They are AWESOME. Just the right balance of assistance and feel. Played Mizuno for years though. Great choice! :)
I got fit with the dna swing analyzer last year. Ended up with MP18 MB 5-PW, 4 mmc and 3 mmc flyhi. C-taper 130 x shaft and 2* upright
Cheesy grin....great to see you sooooo happy. Keep doing what you do!
Great vid, got my MP20s fitted last year and love them. Two things surprised me: split at 7 iron, I went MMC 4-6 and MB 7-PW and you’re way better than me, and secondly lofts. 32 7 iron is std MMC whereas the MB is 34 degree so it’s obvious it would be longer. But reason I went MB is front to back dispersion with 34 MB was tighter. Anyway, great clubs, enjoy...
Loved the video, the genuine happiness and excitement was fantastic to watch
A kid loose in a candy store, hope they are every bit if awesome as they look. Those Mizuno guys really have a lavish setup.
Omg this has changed my mind.. I have been torn to get fitted for a full set of Mizuno in March but the fitters I have spoken to I haven’t been impressed with.. so was thinking of just keeping my irons and getting fitted for the TM Sim driver, 3 wood and hybrid. Along with a couple of new wedges and looking at my irons later in the year. I just knew watching this was a bad idea
Just bought new Mp20 MMC with kbs tour shafts and they are great. You will love using these clubs Peter
Still nothing like a Dana golf fitting. Best professional club builder ever.
Congrats Peter. I look forward to what you hit like on course with these.
Fabulous looking irons - good to see what you choose when you are free to do so
Awesome video Pete! Nice to see the fitting process from beginning to end!
You can't go wrong with Mizuno irons and DG X100. It's a tried and true combination that's been used on Tour for decades. You can trust you 100% have the good enough tools to do the job! Remember, when Tiger first came on Tour, he had Mizuno irons and X100 shafts :P
Nice one Pete ,glad to see you playing with your choice clubs ,instead of sponsored .
