Wow thanks. This is great!

It really is great. The Mizuno USA site is terrible. I don't understand why it's not like this one.

Path is very consistent between neutral and 2 degrees out-to-in. Face-to-path near zero, but strike location kinda all over. Currently play MP-64s with PX LZ 5.5. I love them dearly but with a demanding job and two kids now, I'm having too many days now where they just tell me I suck and refuse to make the ball fly.

> After 2+ hrs of hitting everything under the sun at Club Champion, I ended up ordering the HMB with Steelfiber i95cw shafts yesterday. Picked up 3 mph club speed with the lighter weight and they're going to build them to my current swingweights (around D3.5). 7-8 yards longer than my current setup (2 degrees stronger loft, plus the speed from the shafts). I'm terrified that I'll hate the shafts but I'm trying to trust the process. Time will tell.

> These aren't rockets and they aren't supposed to be. I REALLY liked the T200s, so much that they almost beat out the Mizunos but they're ugly in the bag and I feel like I understand the feedback from the Mizunos better. Titleist should've enclosed the back like Mizuno did instead of showing that ugly tungsten screw. Shame because they look beautiful at address and they really perform.

> The HMBs are very forgiving compared to everything I've played for 20 years and distance dispersion (criminally underrated performance metric!) was amazing. Bad shots get there a different way but everything kinda ends up the same place unless you hit it really bad. Heavy shots lose ball speed but also spin so they still carry, thin shots lose height but not much speed or spin. Off center hits feel just a hair less nice but the fitter laughed because the numbers didn't move. They just got them in & aren't allowed to ship until Sep 20th so I was his first HMB buyer but surely the first of many to come. This is one **** good set of irons.

Is that true, the HMB 9 + PW are all 1025E?

It’s true! Check the bottom right box.

These look great!

I just upgraded to the HMB from Hot Metal. Only been able to hit them twice. It's been colder out so hard to tell a true difference. HMB feels firmer to me which is odd because I assumed they would be softer but that could be temperature related. I'm curious if anyone else has hit both to provide feedback?

I’m seriously looking at upgrading to the hmb from my current 850 forged and was wondering how the hmb were working out for those who picked them up after using them a few rounds.

I’m in almost the exact same position as you currently. Going for my fitting Wednesday and would love to know what you think after having them for a while now. I will be hitting I500’s, P790, Cobra King Forged Tec and HMB. I also will be going to graphite shaft it sounds like. Thanks in advance ??
