JPX Tour & MP-20 MMC Comparison

[liamw]

I currently play JPX 919 Tour however the MP-20 MMC can be had for cheap right now with the 22x series about to release. Has anyone hit and compared these two irons. I won’t be able to test the MMC before buying.

I haven’t hit either but I was surprised the MMC was considered more forgiving than the Tour.

Currently playing the MMC. Tried the tour out and It just wasn’t for me. It is a blade through and through - it just doesn’t look as good as one (IMO, of course). For me the MMC is the perfect iron as a 5 handicap - it provides me just a bit of forgiveness on my off days but the feel is outstanding. The lofts are a little strong considering where the club falls, but I’ll never say no to more distance unless it comes at the cost of accuracy or feel - which is not the case with these. Playing Modus 120x in mine, but a lot of good things to be said about the $ Taper which I think was the “stock” shaft? I’ve had a love affair with the 2019 t100s for most of the summer but one swing with the MMC and I knew it was going to be perfect. I personally think these and the 921 forged are underrated (if a Mizuno club can be overrated). I really was hoping that the 921 Tour would fall between the MP20 blade and MMC - but as that graphic shows it’s relatively the same….I hope next time around there as iron that fills that spot, but until then I’ll take the extra forgiveness and more distance. Also worth mentioning - I am a severe digger through and through and the turf interaction here is amazing.

I would like a little more forgiveness; I liked everything about the Forged except that the spin was so low and I wasn't a fan of the feel or looks of the HMB. It sounds like MMC is exactly what I'm looking for. What was the size/looks comparison at address comparing MMC to Tour and T100? Thanks for your feedback.

To me - the MMC is not big by any means and looks great at address and inspires confidence. Just slightly bigger than the 921 Tour. Compared to the t100 - I think that they are about the same; I really didn’t notice any difference so that means they have to be at least relatively close to each other haha. I do think the MMC is slightly more forgiving than the t100 - but that’s not to say the t100 is difficult to hit by any means; I actually think it’s extremely playable considering the size. Mizuno calls the MMC the “elite players cavity” - and I think that’s spot on.

I tried both and although they looked very similar at address – I’m not discerning enough to notice any top line difference when the margins are that small – I ended up with the MMCs as they are that bit more forgiving. Interestingly the numbers with the MP-20 blades were very similar to the MMCs but I lost ball speed even on centred strikes with the 921 Tours.

 The MMCs are cheap right now? I just bought a set (they arrived this morning in fact). Took some real hunting to even find them at full price. They sold out a couple of months ago, and Mizzy isn't making any more (you can't even order them on their website). 

 

Are you talking used? Because new sets (let alone new sets on sale) are pretty difficult to find right now.

FWIW - I snagged a MINT set from eBay 4-PW for $725.

I'm in Australia so stock could be different here. Local store has a set for $1,450 AUD ($1,050 USD).

I just ordered mine last week and due to arrive any day. Got a brand new set for $900. Will post pic once it arrives. Got it from my local golf store. They had 2 sets left.
