I think Mizuno needs to put a soft pause on this release.  Too many consumers don't like the script written on the back.  It looks too busy.  I get what Mizuno's "vision" is on the release of these.  "Going back to yesteryears...."  We get it.  Unfortunately they need to listen to the consumer.  I'm not going to pay someone extra to color in the script.   I'll test the clubs to compare and see what the ball does compared my Mizzy's now.  Other than that, too many options especially if these aren't releasing until January.   End of discussion.

Perhaps it's a possibility that Mizuno is working to satisfy both Japanese and North American markets with one component during these times with supply constraints by streamlining their supply chain.  If the script is really that big of a deal just remove the paint fill it will take a few minutes to do the whole set.

Or just buy PXG...

Yeah, great call! Because PXG is well known for making a super clean and classy looking iron head!!! 🤣

[mtnbiker5]

They perform extremely well.  Will test.

You cannot be serious. If you don't like the script, don't buy them. There's a very good chance MP is done and Mizuno Pro is the way forward since Mizuno Pro is the script in Japan and not going anywhere.

“ Those PXG [disregarding bolts in clubhead] sure look appealing”

 

I Wonder what the rate of alcoholism is among club designers.

I can't decide if this is sarcasm or an extremist view of "I will speak for everyone!"

I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and going with sarcasm. If not, it makes you question ones motive to bash the look of the new MPs and then say he’s gonna try PXG… 🤔

You just never know about people,  taste and sarcasm on a web post. It's a mystery.

Just so everyone is aware, for last couple MP/Mizuno Pro release cycles, Mizuno has used Mizuno Pro in Japan and Asia.

 

2019 - Mizuno Pro 120 (MP20)

 

2017 - Mizuno Pro 118 (MP18)

People can voice their displeasure on the 'Mizuno Pro' script but at the end of the day, if the club looks nice down by the ball and performs/exceeds your expectations in performance, does the script really matter that much?

 

If I found the best performing club in the world that looks nice behind the ball, I wouldn't care less what it looks like in the bag.

 

That's just my opinion though.

They should pause the release in the US and do a better consumer marketing survey.  I just reviewed this thread and if the script is not an issue then why are we even having this conversation here......😵   Cross field gonna have a field day.

Only reason we're having this so called 'discussion' here is because there are a few displeased voices that just shout louder than the rest... Keep this thread on topic, or just go elsewhere!

Yeah you can go find a new society, because the way this one works is definitely not for you. Jeez man, I even understand your opinion and respect it, but the sense of entitlement…luckily, there’s plenty of iron manufacturers out there, so you can take your pick. 

I really hope your post wasn‘t meant as it read…best of luck brother.

They should've stuck with the 2019 layout instead of putting Mizuno Pro on the toe area IMO.

Looks cleaner and less busy than the new ones

Put the running bird in the center of the muscle like they did and put the 221 under Mizuno Pro for the slight change from the 2019 design

LOL @ Crossfield. He did talk about the T200 backing and sound

[HarborMike]

I kinda like the script. Looks clean and classy to me. Not overbearing or standing out like the giant PXG logo and big fat screws. I never really heard anyone complaining about Miura or Ben Hogans script. Just as clean as those. Also a reality check to the self entitled complainers, Vosh already said this is going to be global and they are not changing it. And guess what else may happen, they may not remove the script going forward for the next several generations as long as they no longer want to distinguish US vs Asia markets and standardize globally and tour players see no problem with it. I think they look awesome and can’t wait to try them out and see how the performance, address, feel are. Well done Mizuno 👏👏

Next topic….🥱

Any truth in the rumours that Mizuno will be dropping the C-Taper as a shaft offering?

 

I'm currently gaming the standard C-Taper in 130 grams, very reluctant to use anything else.

Love these shafts.

Anyone find more info or pictures on the Fli Hi? Thats what im after

I read on another thread that KB shafts are in very limited supply - sounds like they are a supply chain casualty.  Perhaps, if true, that is why Miz is dropping them, at least for now.

You sound like a video game complainer.  Same tactic used by a vocal minority to “get your way”.  Very trollish.

 

This thread represents ~1% of Mizunos market.  They will not “pause the release” for consumer surveys.  Where do people come up with this bs?

Seriously ridiculous post.  More people in the real non-WRX could care less about cursive on the back of their club as long as it performs.  A few OCD WRXer's ain't going to get a company to change it's label.  Down right hiilarious.

Why on earth is everyone so eager to pile onto “mntbiker” for his odd take? The post is certainly outside of the realm of normal reaction, especially since 95% of people haven’t seen them in person, and for other reasons. It just seems like people are so eager to be mean, treat him/her like a dunce or call him/her names. Perhaps they’ll sell great and the poster will learn the error of his ways or perhaps they’ll do a faceplant and poster will be right. But we can be nice in the mean time.
