Mizuno MP-20 MMC - July 2019

[GMN_02]

I am due for an iron upgrade from my Callaway 2013 X-Forged irons and I think these may just me it. Just beautiful.

2013?? Uh yeah you are MORE than ready!

[tsecor]

I'm due as well.....playing the 712 CB's by Titleist right now

[Peete]

Curious if anyone would have any insight into how these would compare to my current irons MP-58's, I am looking for a new set over the off season and thinking these might up my alley or the HMB.

[phi482]

I received mine yesterday and hope to get out this evening and for 27 Thursday. I haven’t had new irons since the 712 AP2s were released.

I have about 5 rounds in with mine. They are awesome.

[scb_]

got fit at club champion, and the recommendation was HMB 3 or 4-6, MMC 7-P, c-taper lite x shaft (also tried apex, apex pro, p790, 785, t100, i forget what else). He actually said if I played more, the t100 might be the recommendation, but since I don't get out enough, a little more forgiveness can't hurt

 

Anyway, I don't disagree with the HMB/MMC recommendation, but I'm not sure I can get past how thick the HMB looks when I'm standing over it. Is the HMB really more forgiving, or will it just launch higher? I don't need more height, so if the forgiveness is comparable, I think I'd probably prefer HMB 3,4, then MMC 5-P (though part of me wants the blades in 8 or 9-P).

 

Also, any thoughts on blending the HMB and MMC, but going with the MB lofts of 21,24,27,30,34,38,42,46? I was carrying the 6 iron over 190, so I don't need extra distance of the stronger lofts

Can I ask what your handicap is? Interesting that he felt the T100 was a more demanding club.....I guess I could see that though.....the T100 is the "last" of the T line before it goes to CB and blade.... For me, the MCC was markedly better than the T100 despite coming from an 718 AP2.

 

I have to say I am with you with the HMB. Looks very large to me compared to the MMC. I grew up with pencil thin hand-me-down Spalding blades and I just can't get by the larger top line.... it's not an ego thing; it's an eye thing. The HMBs just looked too big to me.

Hey TrueWRX. Just curious as to how forgiving you are finding these and what your handicap is?

I play between a 3-5. If I hit my driver good I shoot low to mid 70s. If I hit my driver bad its high 70s low 80s

 

I certainly think the irons are forgiving enough. I always judge irons by distance loss on mishits and dont find it to be that drastic. No issue hitting the 4 iron. I think big beefy irons that are longer may have slightly better distance loss retention but they get too big for me and my accuracy suffers as well as turf interaction. I think these are the perfect blend size/forgiveness/accuracy.

 

Irons feel and look amazing.

Thanks for the feedback. I've never hit Mizunos before and I'm looking to upgrade to the MP20 MMC's from my 2013 Callaway x-forged. Just trying to gauge expectations for the first time I go test these.

No lie I actually went from 2013 X Forged to MMCs. Still have the X Forged since they didnt sell on here

No way! How much of an upgrade do the MP20s feel like compared to them?

I think both are great irons. I made a shaft change which was my biggest thing. Fresh MP20s look better in the bag tho...

Those look sweet,so jealous... I’m going to have to call Mizuno and get an eta for my clubs. Came after 3.5 weeks with the wrong shafts (found out when I went to order some t20s). Maybe I can guilt them into fast tracking my wedges then, hoping anyways haha

Congrats on the new sticks. Funnily enough your pic made me check the box my 919 Tours came in last year. I asked for them 1/2" over standard and they have always felt slightly off. Sure enough, when I checked today they are standard length! Could be a weekend project coming up. Or I could just buy a brand new set of MMCs and set it right...

Definitely new clubs. No question.

T100 I think look great. When I hit them at the shop I had a few that really stung my hands. I think they were high on the face due to a fluffy mat. Made me wonder if the lack of any kind of meat up top on the T100 was the cause. They are very thin on top which looks great for a non-blade/muscleback. Likely just a terrible strike on my part, but I did not like the sensation. The thicker top of the Mizuno's has me a bit more relaxed.

[scb_]

ordered :

3-4 HMB,

5-P MMC

c taper lite x, d3 swing weight

 

hope i can hit a 19 degree HMB 3 iron. I had no issues hitting a 21 degree x-forged utility, so hopefully fine

my 3 iron (MP-20 SEL) defaults at 18* but I bent I ordered one degree stronger to 17 degrees to use it from fairway and also from the tee when needed. I suspect there shouldnt be a problem, but yes, this would pretty much be a 2 iron.

[Rpete33]

Can anyone comment on how the s taper black holds up?

[beluga99]

Looks like Eddie Pepperell using the MMCs at the current Euro event in Portugal.

Was just going to post this! It's been announced on Mizuno Europe's Twitter account as well

[wely324]

Interesting to see a player at the professional level using the full MMC set and not mixing with the MB's. I have never been a fan of a combo set, and after hitting both MMC's and MB's I'm kinda torn on what direction to go. I was thinking of trying the MMC in my 3 and 4 iron, but maybe just do the whole set???
