Hit the MP-20 HMB today. Wow. Compared it to MP-20 blade (I currently play MP-18 blades 4-PW) and the HMB felt every bit as soft and solid as the blade. I honestly couldn't tell a difference except the HMB is a bit longer and deeper faced (good things for me, in the 4 iron) and noticeably more forgiving. Ball flight was just a touch higher, nothing ridiculous, but just that little bit of extra height and forgiveness I'm looking for in my long irons with that wonderful Mizuno feel. I honestly thought the copper thing sounded a little gimmicky a little bit of magic moon dust but I'm a believer after hitting it (maybe magic moon dust is really a copper underlay?).

Nope, copper underlay is present on the entire MP 20 line.

That is correct this was from a previous quote from Chris Voshall about the HMB line:

 

"Feel is every bit an MP iron. Much more so than the previous MP-18 Fli-Hi and H5s. It's the reason we went to Forged and Copper Underlay (two things neither of those had). H4 was forged, and for those that hit it, had a softer feel than either of the other two mentioned. Closer to that, feel wise, but even softer based on the Copper. "

Wow amazing. I loved the H4. This is good to know!

 

Lock me up for a 3-iron

> Regarding on how "Players" it is vs some of the competition, this was designed to fit into the MP family. Offsets, while they "measure" higher in the short irons, offset is a measurement that can be very misleading as the hosel transition plays a huge role in how it actually looks. As was pointed out previously, Mizuno tends to "measure" higher in offset, but the look is hidden. They are designed to flow into a set of muscle backs and MMC in that when the lofts are matched up, the offsets are too. And in terms of face design, these are designed for face consistency vs the max COR designs we see throughout this category in the industry. We want consistent call speeds across the face, not massive in the middle.

> Truly expect this to be the most "players" club in what is beginning to be a very crowded category of hollow forgings. Which, by the way, we may be the only one of those that have a forged face and neck, where the forging really matters.

 

Again a bump on the response by Chris on the new HMB line. I am super pumped!

Order placed for a set 2iron and 4-pw of the HMBs with black $taper shafts! The mizuno rep was at my local golf shop today and the order was placed directly with him. I was quoted a ship date of 9/9. Super excited for these!!!

I'm hoping so! I really wanted to try the modus 125 but I don't want to pay the upcharge. I dont know why there is a upcharge for the 125 and no charge for the 120 or 105. I totally get the upcharge for steelfiber though.

We will see. That's what I was thinking as well but was told by the rep, pre embargo orders will ship the 9th. Probably will actually see them around the 20th.

I’ve had great luck with the 125. The 105 and 120 not so much. I do think it’s odd that the 125 and 130 are treated like exotic shafts, probably just don’t fit as many people so they don’t get the buying power they have with the more popular ones. Ive hit the 130 in short irons and really liked it but never had a chance to hit it in the long irons where I’m a little concerned with the weight.

 

I ordered my set with AMT White which I have never even hit before but it seems like a good fit for me on paper.

Carl's in Michigan have the heads in stock. They are still waiting on some new shafts. But, they are available to hit. I had little time last night so only got to hit the HMB. I would kinda describe it as a Kate Winslet model - just a little "fuller" than expected but beautiful in it's own way.

 

Only hit it with the SteelFiber which isn't my favorite shaft. So, I'll reserve judgement so far. It does seem very promising for at least the 4,5,6 in my bag.
