Anyone hit the new Mizuno 67s?

Lionstar · September 8, 2006

New irons from Mizuno

Has anyone hit these yet?If so what shafts did you use and how do they compare to the MP 60s?

i've hit them at least once a week for the last three weeks. they are demo versions with TT DG S300 shafts. i don't think i would compare them to the 60's, but instead to the 33's. i feel that they are a refinement of the 33's, and feel softer, and more positive then the 33's. if you like true blades, then these are worth a try. it is my intention to order my set of 67's very soon. i'm just waiting to see how my shafts fitting on tuesday goes

What's the trajectory like on them?

I'd think with the cutmuscle "cut" out of the muscle, it would raise the COG of the club, and lower the trajectory even more than most blades.

.. is the wedge more traditional in shape, or did they keep that rounded bulbous look i disliked so in the 33's???

well the shop only had the 5-Iron demo in TT DG S300, but it was a nice mid-high trajectory. according to the video on MizunoUSA's website, and i do tend to agree with it, the COG is now perfectly placed. not only are they nice to hit, but just swinging the club feels good. it has a nice feel, and nice weight to it.

the shop only had the 5-Iron as a demo, they didn't have any of the other 67's. they did have two of the new MP-R series wedges. i'm staying with my MP-T wedges.

You like the MP-T better?

Didn´t you like the looks with the rounded head, or is it something else you didn´t like with the MP-R?

i like the Teardrop shape better. i wouldn't mind having the extra grind on the sole that the MP-R's have, but as it stands now, i'll stick to my MP-T's.

OK, thanks for the reply! :diablo:

I haven´t seen the R-series yet, so I am not sure about my preferred head shape.

I really like the MP-T myself though...

Let´s see when they arrive here in the land of ice-bears!
