That was my impression. I’m think MMC 3-6 and MB for the rest. Sound right?

 

[MBBG]

I went 3-6 HMB and 7-P MP-20 because 7i is where I feel comfortable hitting a bladed iron over forced carries, YMMV ??

[golfinguru11]

As a lefty I’m sticking with MP 54 4-5 iron, 6-PW the new blades.

[IUbball23]

My set of SEL's should be arriving Sept 7 according to my rep today. Cannot wait to have some Mizzy's back in the bag.

Where to place the order?

[FOOTJOY16]

Can't wait to get them.

[VanillaRice]

For those placing their order already. Are you ordering through your rep? Mine hasn’t responded to me yet so don’t know if I can place an order yet. Tho I’m suppose to be getting the demos in soon.

I agree with your wife, your three year old should have a great party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And for his gift... a full size set of mp-20’s.

I agree, I remember when my son was 9 he didn't remember his "epic" 5th birthday party

[Weston11]

This has been asked but not answered -- for those of you who have pre-ordered, who did you pre-order through? I thought the official pre-order date wasn't until the middle of September.

[MBBG]

Anyone interested in preordering through a reputable retailer can PM me. I’ve bought a ton of stuff from them over the years and they are great on price.

I didn't know these were available for pre-order yet, and I work on a shop.

Agreed. He's a good boy. He's deserving.

[jwhite37]

just buy the mmc's sight unseen or get fit and hit them all. tough decision. When do pre-orders start?

[TLUBulldogGolf]

I was told 9/5.

[Weston11]

It sounds like Mizuno shipped the demo heads today, so everyone should be able to hit these by the end of the week.

This is true, my order was placed via my rep (staff agreement)

Some additional info on the taper and grind

 

 

[ShooterMcDabbin]

These irons are so s3xy. Can't wait to see reviews once they ship.

[CSmithAMG]

I think I’m going to get a blended set of mmc and mb. Will the lofts be consistent across the 3 models? Are they posted anywhere? I’m curious how they compare to my Callaways

Mizuno rep was at my course today. I hit all three versions. Was told that the mmc and hmb have the same loft / gapping. If you do a combo set with the blades, there is a two degree difference club to club. He suggested that the shortest hmb/mmc come one degree weak and the longest blade come one degree stronger than normal.

 

I liked all three versions. The longer hmb irons were particularly good. I was a little surprised with the top line of the blades and the overall shape of the wedge (and other short irons). Seemed strangely thick. The overall appearance of the pitching wedge seemed “Asian” like. Somewhat similar to a Miura 501 shape.

 

I am going to stick with my PXG’s. However, these are a real contender.

[TheInfidel]

Has anyone got the updated list of shaft options from Mizuno handy that they could post? I can't seem to track down the list with added upcharge options.

[izzi]

Here are the new shafts

 

 

[Lumberjack627]

That seems like a lot of up charge options for them to claim they offer no up charge on shafts.

[arobbins3]

I cannot wait to see people's reviews on these!

Just curious - Is this all the shafts, or just the new additions? Thought they had a larger stable of shafts that were included at no upcharge and had added some more ones to it this year.

[izzi]

These are the new additions.

I wonder if they're only offering the black version of the $ Taper or if the chrome will also be available.

I believe Chrome $ Taper is available (with no up charge)

How does the blade feel compare to pxgs? Distance?
