[meliaant]

Man, that blade is sleek, but the new MMC makes me even more content with my MP18 MMCs.

Yeah, on my phone, and my vision isn’t perfect, looking closer, I was wrong as usual

Haha. Thank you sir!

I think it’s how the lines blend at the toe with the notch, or the lack of blending/parallel lines. I think my MMC’s are safe for 2 years.

MP18 MMC's are pretty ugly, but I can actually look at them without throwing up. MP20 MMC looks like something Fisher Price would have put out for 4 year olds.

I'm so confused. Though if HMB is indeed hot metal blade...... just take my money.

[Matzi]

Curious the specs and details on the wedge. Looks like they took the s18 topline/top part of the wedge and kept the T7 otherwise.

Exactly

I can halfway confirm what has been posted. There is an MP-20 MMC that honestly doesn't have that garish back plug. It is there of course, but not nearly as prominent or jagged (I have seen finished photos and some of the guys from my shop have seen finished demos). The Hot Metal Blade is in fact a real thing, and apparently it is amazing looking. It is a blended hollow-long iron mixed into a set of fully forged short irons...remember the MPH4/5? Well you now have an official replacement for those. The SEL might just be a moniker for a left-handed specific model as it does not appear to be much different from the standard MP-20 blade, and it is interesting no RH pics have surfaced for SEL. Miura and a rumoured New Level iron have also done with a specific lefty-only option, as has Titleist in the past with the 731PM.

 

EDIT: I guess I should just add that the irons have a copper underlay to improve feel (like the MD3 wedges had). Further, they have confirmed a few new shafts are being added to the matrix, KBS $-Taper being one of them. My rep was tight lipped about the rest but the Project X Catalyst is for sure not being included. I am wondering if SteelFiber is going to be added or perhaps an expanded Recoil lineup?

I am liking the MMC. Will be a tough choice between that and 919 Forged for me.

This is what I was hoping for. I remember seeing a picture of the MP-18 MMC without the brass colored plate over the weighting on the back and it looked similar, so hoping that it just looks clean. I'm sure they've got it figured out.

 

That said, as a mid-cap MMC player I'm now wondering if the HMB might be an option.... Was on the fence between MMC and H5 before, and this sounds really interesting.

Love the look of these , superb

 

Thank god that md 0 thing was just a fake

[Natural1]

SEL = Special Edition Lefty?

Just a guess

Just thought of this. The S18 were Mizuno's first go at the whole CG placement like Vokey has? So T7 but with CG "enhancements"? I wonder if it is tweaked more and maybe different styles?

[MKPAPA]

A Kyoei Vibe is what i'm feeling. I dig all the cuts

[hwwong]

Mizuno is killing it with the irons.

I am feeling a bit apprehensive on these.

Wait until the marketing pics come out, as opposed to the conforming list photos. They're always stunning in person when we're talking Mizzy's

He doesn’t say Mizuno but it’s Mizuno.

[smithy23]

Just seen this on YouTube

Titleist U500

[noodle3872]

This feels like Christmas Eve!

[MillerLowLife]

So far what I'm reading, I really like where this new release is going.

[MizunoMac72]

So just to clarify, if I'm correct:

 

The MP-20 HMB is a blended set of Grain Flow Forged (face only?) Chromoly hollow long irons, with Grain Flow Forged HD 1025E fully-forged short irons.

 

The MP-20 SEL are exactly the same as the HMB above, but for our lefty friends.

He doesn't speak for us all!!! Thank you for the drop!!!

[MillerLowLife]

Am I the only one that gets a feel of mp5/mp18 blend with this release/pictures? If so, I could definitely see upgrading my mp18 MB's with this release.

[MizunoMac72]

I really look forward to seeing these new MP-20 lines in person. I had been looking at purchasing a blended set of JPX919 Hot Metal PRO long irons, JPX919 FORGED mid irons & JPX919 TOUR short irons, together with Titleist Vokey SM7 wedges.

 

After playing nothing but Mizuno irons & wedges since January 1988, I thought I would now be jumping ship with my wedges, but alas I think I may just have been saved from such a ridiculous idea............loving the look of the T20 wedges.

 

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MIZUNO DESIGNERS..........Titleist take note!

[cpeck]

hoping it’s just a true new blade for us lefty’s. also, can’t wait to pick up all the mp68s on ebay when these drop !

The HMB irons sound a lot like these.
