I must say the JPX line looks great! It is great to see Mizuno make a commitment to that sector of the iron market. Do you intend on staying within it? Has it met corporate milestones in terms of sales to ensure that consumers have the JPX as an option or will we see it disappear faster than the latest Bettinardi/ Mizuon collaboration which I thought was fantastic!

Mizuno chooses the s300 as the default shaft in their MP line of irons. Year after year this is the go-to shaft for most big name players irons companies like Mizuno, Titleist, Cleveland, etc.

Many people think that it's an easy $10 "hamburger" choice for a stock shaft. While there are other options out there the aforementioned companies still choose the s300 for their "wall sets".

Can you speak to why? I personally love the s300/s400 and choose it for my irons.

Thanks

The JPX EZ line of irons are being marketed as the largest sweet spot in its golf. How difficult is it to carry that over to a "players" iron?

I really like how you can ask these questions ahead of time now... Thanks.

Question regarding both Mizuno and TT:

Has the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer software/program been updated with all the new shafts (including TT) yet? I have yet to have anyone get fit into the DG PRO's yet.

Also, for TT: If I were to build a driver on Callaway's website, what are specs of the "TT PX Handcrafted" that would be installed (in stiff)? Looking on WRX, there seems to be at least two "handcrafted" models?

Thanks in Advance, and I look forward to hearing the answers to these, and looking through other's Q/A.

Good Morning Chris and Chad,

1. Are we going to see any Mizuno Japan product in USA? I noticed that Mizuno Japan has "fancier" finish. Any chance that will be offered in the states?
2. Is Mizuno thinking about making any limited edition products, mostly irons?
3. Any chance to square the toe a bit in the future products?

Thank you
Steve

As someone who has a hard time finding a hockey stick to his preferred specs (longer and stiffer flex), I've always wished that the hockey stick market would operate similar to the golf club market regarding the ease of order custom clubs.

Do you see the hockey stick market moving to allow more custom ordering, or are we stuck with off the rack sticks?

As we have seen through this site and the trips, a proper fitting has its countless benefits. When I go into my local big box stores it seems I don't have the option of trying out more than what they have in stock.
Being in Syracuse, NY and coupled with the fact that I don't belong anywhere I don't get to attend many demo days. Do you at Mizuno or True Temper have demo days up here? Also, do you have any authorized/recommended dealers you could point me to in order to get a proper fit to all that you offer?

thanks again! These forums are very helpful.

Thank you guys for taking time to hop on here and answer questions.

I love my MP32's, so much so that I wore out my first set. (Don't worry, I have a set of 32's with DGS300's in them in the bag now.) Please tell me that you have no intentions of retiring the MP line of irons. Or that you are looking to move away from the clean classic looks of the MP line.
Are there any plans to revisit the cut muscle design that made the 32's so popular with those that have played them?

Long time fan of mizuno, and true temper. Thanks for coming on.
I would like to say, that if Im chosen to win the hockey stick, one of my friends from the great white north will have to show me what to do with it. We didnt have hockey in SC.

Anyhow.....Chris.....I have heard great things about the newest line of woods, the JPX EZ. Did you guys move the weight lower and forward to reduce spin? I have a buddy that has been raving about this head for several weeks, and he believed that to be true. I just havent heard yet.

Chad- What are the plans for the premium graphite shaft? As we see more stronger players gravitate towards high density graphite, just wanted to see where you guys were heading..

Thanks for the opportunity

I play with MP64 and had a True Temper M80 prototype shaft installed. Great shaft!!! How ever, the 5 iron shaft broke (damaged in transit). I replaced it with a Project X 5.5 which seems heavier. Is there a current True Temper shaft that resembles the M80 I can purchase?
Also, what Graphite iron shaft would you recommend for a guy with 100MPH DRIVER SPEED. Handicap 3 - 61 yrs. old.

Thank-you!

I was fit recently with the shaft optimizer and can you explain why it chose: graphite and steel Px 5.0, Orochi Red Eye Regular, Dynalite Gold SL stiff, and KBS soft step stiff? To add to that I did the shaft fit online fit tool and it chose Pxi 5.5. I'm a little confused about this!

Unfortunately, I don't have the numbers. Thank you TrueTemper, Mizuno, and GolfWRX!

I am currently playing the JPX-825's and hit them very long and straight. However I tend to hit them very high which can be a problem being that I play on the coast a good bit. Is this an issue with the stock shafts in my 825's and would I benefit more from getting new shafts with a different kick point, or would it make sense just to upgrade to the JPX-EZ irons?


Thanks!

Q1 for Mizuno: Any chance of increasing the lefty line? I dont consider Mizuno at all simply becuase it's slim pickings.
Q2 for Mizuno: Driver market is huge.Yet we see little to no push from Mizuno in promoting drivers & woods. Will this change any time soon and we see you guys try and take some of the marketshare?

Hi Guys,

I am in the market for new irons, and really want to get custom fit this time around. I am a shorter guy (5'4) and can not sole my std length/lie irons level on the ground. Actually, I don't even swing my 4 or 5 iron anymore since I cannot make solid contact. I have been eyeing Mizuno clubs (especially some of the forged models, EZ Forged, MP-54) as they seem to be two closely matched models and suit my eye well.

What technologies have been developed and used in your product lines that make them better than what was available even 4 or 5 years ago? It seems to me that it is much easier to sell the technology in drivers versus in irons where the look of the iron has not changed all that much. Do you think your biggest improvements have been on feel, control, forgiveness, or distance?

Thanks, keep up the good work!
-Bryan
