Mizuno 919 Tour

[ProjectX_Mizuno]

Has anyone put these in play yet? How are you liking them?

[Stanks]

A lot of fitters are still having trouble even getting the heads for fitting. I am sure there are bunch out in play already but, I haven't seen any in Southern California and all the new s*** is always in play the first week of release out here.

 

I am looking to try some of these out before I make a purchase.

[scott_Donald]

mine get delivered tomorrow Scottish Time. I will be playing straight after work!

 

they are not released till tomorrow.

[JimGantz]

Definitely interested to seeing some reviews on these. In particular, how they compare to the 900T

According to Mizuno they feel better. They never mentioned anything performance wise but they look pretty

Yep, I think the one exception for the Tour was pushing more weight toward the toe to move the CG placement.

hoping to see that pretty blue box on the porch today or tomorrow......

That maybe a UK\Euro thing, here in the states, all blue with white lettering.

 

Regardless, favorite thing to see on my porch.....

We don't even have fitting heads yet!?!? 919T are sweet, on my radar for sure! ;)

[JerryTBall]

My set will be in Raleigh hopefully after this hurricane leaves! I got the 4-6 in 919 forged, and 7-pw in tour with Nippon 120’s. And after hitting the new Srixon z585 driver at Cleveland demo day other day ordered one them as well.

[DigitalizedOrange]

We got the fitting heads in today, along with our stock as well. After hitting all three I think these are the best irons they've come out with in recent years. The tours felt amazing, little larger than last generation but I don't mind it. The forged seemed like they were a little larger as well, but again great feel and slightly more forgiving. The Hot Metal's were the most surprising. Wasn't a fan of the previous Hot Metal irons, but these had a much better feel and felt like the ball came off the race like a rocket. Launch with the hot metal was higher and distance was a good 5-7 yards longer. I think Mizuno is going to see a big increase in sales over the 900 series, which did pretty damn well.

The 919T head feels great! Had all the 4 irons for looks with the rep, the 7-irons for fitting. Feels properly gorgeous to hit and the long clubs are looking sharp. Yet to see the 8-9-PW though, but they should (hopefully!) be purdy

919 Tours are one of the best looking irons I've ever seen -- they look great at address, feel amazing in the sweet spot, definitely a lot more punishing on thin shots than Forged/HM.

I hit the tours yesterday with my usual project x 6.0. They definitely feel good and look amazing (very clean looking and very crisp looking). The finish is slightly different than last years, but in a good way. I prefer these over the 900. The top lines are square-ish, which makes them appear slightly bigger. As with any players club, they are not as forgiving as the larger brothers. Good shots feel good, off center shots loose a lot of distance and direction. Definitely a winner from Mizuno.

That's awesome. This model + these kind of reports may make me pull the trigger on switching.

[shakey]

Ordered my set today. Going 919 Tour 4-PW with Modus 120 Stiff.

[getitdaily]

Love these irons. They helped me get an unused set of 900tours for cheap!

[scott_Donald]

I forgot to mention my range session and 5 holes with mine.

 

the clubs are awesome, reminded me of my Scratch Sb1s more than they did my Mp5s.

 

shame mine didn't last very long as they were the wrong spec, should have the replacement ones next week, going to have two sets in the same many haven't even had their first set.

pretty much same am guessing, not a whole lot you do with this type of head

that's the way to do it.....I live 4 mizuno irons but there isnt enough difference year to year or even every 3 yrs to warrant spending hundreds of dollars extra for......the newness wears off quickly and find they aren't any different than last

[StarFleetGolfer]

I got mine yesterday. I hit thim longer than expected and they are much more forgiving for me over the 900t.

I'm going to ignore this post since I just hit my 900t for the first time and they're more forgiving than my mp63. If the 919t are more forgiving than the 900t then the ball would never leave the flagstick and I'd have to figure out what I could buy the wife so I could get the 919t in about 6 months...lol

How do the tours compare to the mp 18 SCs? Weren’t you playing those not too long ago?

interesting. can you give me examples. I had my set briefly and didn't notice any distance change to my previous irons.

I compared them today, also compared it to 900 your. The new 919 tour is exactly same profile as the mp18 sc, same size head, top line and sole.

Not sure, they are pretty much the same iron with a different finish. Would prob go mp18 sc if I was interested in buying a set since it’s the “pro” line and a bit more refined finish. I haven’t seen the pw of the 919 tour though but I image it is the same as mp sc, they 7 iron comparison was like identical

[Warrick]

919T short irons definitely look better than MP18 SC.
