I’ve been a Mizuno iron fan for years (exclusively) and that has a lot to do with their quality/honesty of course but probably just as important, Chris Voshall himself. Is there another company that gives you the availability/access and honesty that Mizuno does? They truly want to engineer product that helps you play better golf, I love it! Ian and Matt are as good as it gets and it is really cool to see Chris/Mizuno spend the time.....so valuable as a consumer.
I watch these videos almost solely because of how smooth and consistent Matt's swing is. Unreal.
The MP18's looked amazing, and these are even better. That settles it, my first fitted set of irons will be Mizuno.
I had no brand preference, and my first fitted set that ended up with was Mizuno and still love them. Feedback is fantastic compared to other clubs try from time to time
I'm glad to see this. I'm a lefty and I usually have to order stuff without hitting it and hoping it works
as a lower handicap lefty, I've been waiting for Mizuno to offer more to southpaws. Finally!
I love the talk about camber and turf interaction. I am a high handicap player (even "high" is probably generous) and I hit blades better than I hit the big chunky soled irons, solely because of how they interact with the turf. It's also one of the reasons I struggle with hybrids vs. long irons, in my opinion.
I thought It was just me lol went from the hot metals straight to the mp20 blades and hit them so much better due to the same. I also think the heavy weight of game improvement irons have some to do with it as well
My physics professor used to get super annoyed if we said "dampening," instead of "damping." haha
As a lefty golfer, I really love your content! Especially when I'm stuck in the house. Great video, can't wait for a chance to try some of these
This years mp-20 range it’s just flawless in design and performance and I can’t stop thinking about them #TXGcontest
Just order a set a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to hit them! 3-5 HMB 6-PW MP 20 MB combo set.
I switched from mp18 sc to mp20 hmb. Best change I've made. Awesome irons, just enough relief on miss hits. Handicap has dropped because of the consistency I now have.
Just break down and put the blades in the bag, Matt! Also, thanks to you guys for working with Chris Voshall and Mizuno. I'm a full bag Mizuno player (excluding putter obviously) and love their clubs and have played them my whole golf career. I'm biased because I love Mizuno but thanks for doing stuff like this to give the consumer more knowledge and entertainment in regards to new and existing products. Thanks Mizuno and Chris and thanks TXG for continued great content!
Matt is a ball striking machine! I’m very jealous of your consistency.
Seriously? The quad says he's all over the face lol
V Chan and yet he still manages to get the same distance and on the green.
@@darynhendershot9952 if you say so. There's a difference between sim golf and real golf.
V Chan that is a statement of fact.
He takes his problems out on golf balls 😆 freaking 98mph 9 iron, my gosh. 🤷🏻♂️
Oh Mizuno is gonna rip my pocket this year, thanks to Matt.
Parnop Siripornpak haha. After the ST and now SEL’s it hurts but feels so good ha
I was given a set of T-Zoid Pro's in the late 90's. At the time, they were the bee's knees. They were the ticket. Even though they are called muscle backs, they are blades with two shallow divots on either side of the centre block. The thing that I like most about them is what Matt was describing. They give you immediate and accurate feedback as to where you contacted the ball. These clubs taught me how to hit the ball. I've tried game improvement irons and no matter which manufacture they were and how expensive they were, they all felt numb to me. In the last test session, I found my striking becoming more and more erratic with each swing. I found myself missing the vibration of the mishits. Until I can justify giving up my T-Zoids, I won't. I've had the PW and the 9i faces redone a couple of times (don't ask me how it's done or even if it's legal since a friend of mine does it) so I'm not missing any spin. Mizuno is onto something with the mass higher up on the back to resist low and high shots. I don't know of any other manufacturer that does that. They're all so focused on getting the ball in the air that I think they've sacrificed quality shots on the altar of marketing. As always, it's great to see Chris talk golf, even when the guys brought up Titleist.
Big Thanks to all three of you! Great review, enriched by the technical comments from Chris. You set the gold standard for internet club reviews. Just 2 things: As demonstrated by Matty, getting good distance from blades is not a problem at all. And the bevelled edges for better turf interaction is an old hat for Mizuno, they are already present on my JPX 850 Forged (first Mizuno's I ever owned). Oh and yes, these will be my next irons. I kinda pre-decided that already but now I know for sure. Thank you Mizuno and TXG!
I always wondered about Matt's path numbers, but he manages it so well
I hear the “distance predictability/consistency” idea for blades vs cavity all the time. I’ve personally never seen it. Can you do a video showing us a club head that isn’t “consistent” with the distances off the face? And maybe explain why it would be inconsistent
Finally SEL review! 👍
Good video. Love the Mizuno POV
I just bought new clubs.. now im gonna get fitted for a whole new set of these? Goddammit
Austin Ling 😂😂🤷♂️. eBay bruh
Ignore the impulse
Great problem to have!
HMB!!! coolest concept i’ve ever seen so excited for these babies!!!
Matt is young enough fast enough and will become even more consistent (if it’s possible) moving to blades. I’ve had 4 sets of blades and a number of cavity backs over 35 years and never hit it better or more consistently than with a blade, they force you to swing better. Just picked up a set of MP20 HMB 5-P and they are great so far.
Finally! A lefty MP blade and good long irons. I ordered my set yesterday sight unseen.
I got all excited only to see it wont show for 15 hours!!!! You are killing me!!!!
Just purchased the hmbs i play off 1 , and ill tell you guys they are fabulous
There’s a very enjoyable video of Chris playing a casual round with Keith Mitchell. He’s got a nice game and a very interesting bag of clubs.
Thanks for doing this review! As a lefty I often get frustrated with the lack of options. I’ve been eyeing getting fitted for awhile and this review makes me really want to get fitted for the SEL. Looks like I’ll be on the course a lot more next year!
These products are absolutely gorgeous. I recall Matty having a lot of success with the Miura blade prior to the lefty option being discontinued. Perhaps, blades will be going in the bag.
Question/Test Suggestion - It seems like the level of forgiveness in a blade has dramatically improved through subtle tweaks. Do you agree? Also, development of a test to assess the true level of forgiveness between a blade and cavity would be interesting. E.g. Machine controlled mishits across 9 locations (high toe, high middle, high heel, toe, middle, heel, low toe, low middle, and low heel).
I always learn so much from your videos. Thanks for the effort you guys put into making them. Now, time for an upgrade!😜
Loved that one, something I’m considering
Cannot wait they look amazing
I'd love to see you guys go to Japan and geek out with Katsuhiro Miura. I got to meet him about 15 years ago. Brush up on your Japanese!
Have you ever tried any of his irons? They look absolutely gorgeous.
Cheers
@@hamlinjs1 I’ve played Muira off and on. They are very demanding but so rewarding.
Great review guys! I was happy with my driver club head speed until Matt matched it with a seven iron 😰
I feel your pain mate 🤦♂️ not fair is it!
Sold!
Really informative video guys and all of these look awesome. Thanks
Can we please get HMB v 919F and MMC v 919F, maybe HMB v 919 Hot Metal Pro. Cheers.
They look chunky. I bougth a set (3-9 iron) of Wilson Staff FG-49 Tour Blade with DG S400 shafts. Played nine holes yesterday and hade 100% fairway hits and 44.4% GIR. The felt heavier and more balanced than my PSi:s with KBS Tour C-taper 105 s shafts. They sounded and felt awesome.
I don’t really understand what this post has to do with anything but if you are hitting 100% FIR and only 44% GIR you should not brag about your irons.
Fairway hits... what’s that got to do with your irons anyway 🤦🏼♂️
@@1b0o0 I hit my irons good, it's the aim that's wrong sometimes. I have played one round with them after I got them this week. They feel much greater than my modern irons. Small head, thin top line and thin sole. I the Mizunos clubs is looking chunky. Fat sole and thick top line compared to the FG-49 Tour Blades. The don't make irons as beautiful these days as they did back in the 70-80th and a bit in the 90th.
This embargo is killing me!!!
I am surprised that he didn’t hit it on the sweet spot on many shots but still could get the ball high enough and with decent distance. I am sold re HMB.
I tried the mmc and the hmb and the HMB by far for me, was the better of the two. Feel and quickness was not even close.
Fantastic review. Would you be willing to do a 921 SEL review? I'm seriously considering that set and am debating between the Srixon Z7 and Mizuno. Wish I were good enough for these blades though. Such a sexy bit of kit!
Every iron does not have a sweet spot in the exact middle of face how is monitor able to determine if strike was mm high or low?
looking forward to this one!!!
Beautiful clubs-they are my set also
Left hand comparison between the MB Titleist as tested earlier in the day by the sounds and these MP20, maybe use the T-MB as 4i & 3i ? 😁
Matt how come your not on the tour? Every time I watch the videos, your ripping the ball down the line!!!
Love the lefty review and I’m going to test these out against my Mpsc 18 which I love. I’m a bit concerned about the 5i/6i blade, I will see if I can manage it.
My God those look good
WANT THESE
I can't wait until tomorrow. I need it NOW!!!
Hey Ian, love the channel, keep up the good work! On a side note, what do you think of the up coming current welter/light-feather weight contenders in the UFC and boxing? Who do you like this Saturday in Dubai? Khabib looks unbeatable! Also what do you think about GG Glovokin, Spence or Paquiao's last fight with Thurman? Oh, And Ian, have you heard of this kid in Japan called Naoya 'the Monster' Inuoue? He's dropping opponents in the second round that have never been knocked down before! His speed and power is amazing! Check him out!
Any time you doubt that looks can be deceiving, check out Chris Voshall. That cat is WAAAYYYY smarter than he looks. ;)
I've got the MP4 set and since moving near coastal courses recently I'm finding the thin knife edge of the blade is almost impossible to hit consistently due to wet Sandy turf...any dig will kill your game. These real blades have very slim soles so be mindful of that risk while you lust. If you dig or swing steep at all, you should skip these!
I bought these in my head as soon as I heard about the SEL's!! What is the combo setup is its 3-5HMB or 3-4 HMB? then the rest are MB's?
that mp20 blade is amazingly forgiving. look at where Matt missed and yet the shot was still fairly straight. wonder what shaft they have on the tested set. anyone?
mb/hmb combo set is probably the only thing on the market that could get me out of my 718 cbs
I had same thoughts but then I hit the t100 and they are incredible
Tested the MP-20 7 iron last day. It's unreal! Especially for us lefties. Great video and wasn't surprised of their findings. I may have to order!
Just curious if the yardage spread between 4 and 5 was consistent with the other clubs
I like the idea of the HMB, same idea with a lot of those hollow design clubs, but my question is....If you are a good player, say sub 5 handicap and are already a really high ball hitter, are these really an option for you? Say that player doesnt want blades and want just a little help...?
Toe end design appears to be eerily similar to MP 59. That’s no bad thing.
I am seeing Matt in some blades next year.
As a left hander in Australia is mizuno going to be releasing these HMB’s to us? We’re missing out on so much
Just a few weeks back I was imagining something real similar to the hmb. Only thing I was thinking different was a titanium back to place even more tungsten.
How do the MP20s compare to MP18s? Will you be doing any comparison videos?
Looking forward to this review. Hope you guys have some napkins around to whip off the droll on Matty's face :D
What’s up with the clubhead speed/efficiency numbers? 112 ball speed gets you 150 carry but 96 mph 9 iron w 1.17 smash? doesnt make sense.
Def eyeing the mp20 mb 4-pw to finally bump my vr pro blades out. And a hmb 3i to bump the tm udi 2i.
I don’t think the hmb 3i would be anywhere near the loft of that UDI 2. They do make a HMB 2i. That might be closer.
@@jacobmccain8082 you're right. But that's why I'm eyeing it. The udi is 17* and I hit it too far. 265-270 bullets. It's only 10 or 15 yards shorter than my 3w. So my gapping is huge between 225 4i and 265 2i
Twyer24 Ah I gotcha. Then yeah would probably be perfect but since the HMB is relatively much more high spin than UDI might want to try the 2 also if available. Good luck!
Matt should play blades. There will be new things you pick up once you play the blades for a couple seasons.
HMB in a 2 or 1 iron sounds amazing....
So is it because of the camber on the HMB's that the bounce is so low? Because i'm interested in hitting them I take shallow divots and I see the bounce on HMB range from 1-5 degrees of bounce? Just wondering
Im thinking about getting a combo set in mizuno as a lefty. I was thinking about getting the SELs in 8 and 9 and get 7,6,5 in the JPX forged. what're your thoughts on that?
How did the shot at 13:29 have draw spin (spin axis 4.7R) when the face was open relative to the path and the dynamic lie was a degree flat?
This is probably the best looking club in golf history. I'm a taylormade fan but man, mizuno beat it by a long shot.
I often get asked if I'm bat sh*t crazy for wanting to get fit at TXG, to which I say on a hot holiday/vacation one of the adventures your likely to see offered is "experience swimming with sharks", simple really everyone wants an Experience that is bat sh*t crazy. In my opinion Mr. Fraser is building a business which is delivering an Experience to us bat sh*t crazy golfers who believe getting properly fit is a part of enjoying the game, bless his heart. Now Mizuno keeps coming back to the land of Lefties, perhaps a sign????? no idea but so happy they keep coming back and more importantly did Mizuno just pull off crazy and get back into the realm of possibility during an Experience for your Tour, only my fitter knows for sure. ;-) #txgexperience
whats the shaft tip size for the SEL MP-20's??
I am lusting after the Mizuno MP20-SEL, except for the 3-4 HMB's. That's a spoiler for me. 5-P great, 3+4 nope.
Can I start a go fund me page so I can get me a set of these mp-20
Matt should play Mizunos
Its hard finding blades for a lefty. I'm glad these came out. I love blades but nobody makes them for lefty's anymore. If you do find a set they are way overpriced. If I could afford it these would be in my bag rightnow.
Callaway, Titleist, Ping... nobody makes them?
@@habs7646 I have titleist mb, but try finding someone who carries them. Out of all the companys only a few make em
Plus ping I blades aren't even really blades
@@gillyman7155 Blueprint are true blades haha, but less forgiving than 620 mb and mp-20
Matty swing just sold 100 LH sel sets. I would like to see a mid handicap player hit the sel.
I'm around a 10 handicap and I tried these out and absolutely loved them. I didn't think I could hit them because of the reputation of blades but these were easy to hit.
Guys I have a set of MP 67's. How much if any difference is there with the new MP 20's?
Andy Seidler test them for yourself.
Time to trade in my 900 Hot Metals
How would the hmb 6 and 5 fit together with my MP 25 set?
You’d probably need to get the HMB delofted a degree or 2. HMB 6 is 28. Your 7 would be 34. Maybe one from HMB and one added to MP25?
But what happened to the SC!? 😭
Going out now to get fitted. Lol
EVERY TIME YOU FIT MATT HE HITS BLADES THE BEST why are you guys pretending to be surprised
5:25
CV not enjoying the Titleist discussion lol
I need to replace my pos TM 4 hybrid with HMB. The TM is too ugly to hit properly lol
Damn, still 9 hours to go!
Off to the Course 18 holes, Lunch, a few medicinal libations, a quick Bandit nap and then grab my seat ready for the Show, Yep that will work!!!!
See ya laters Guys
Drat and double Damn, MrsBandit has announced that I'm taking her to our favourite Basque Bistro for an early dinner. Unfortunately, she didn't take too kindly to me putting my foot down and saying "No Way" and that I would be otherwise engaged watching a TXG vid. Hopefully, the food in our local A&E dept is good and the wifi is working!
I think my bruises will heal quickly 😒🤦♀️🤦♂️💥
It would have been nice If the SEL (LEFTY) set had an option for an HMB 5i! I think it would have greatly broadened the appeal of the set.
That will likely be the reason I don't buy it! It's too bad, really! I love Mizuno products and would really like to support their efforts to better support lefties but I just don't think this is a fit for me!
Lefty SoCal Golfer my thoughts exactly!!!
Kinda my thoughts as well... was hoping 6 iron to 4 iron hmb.
Josh Johnson not for lefties!!
I wanna hit a missed 155 9 iron.... 😂
If I bladed one just right it might get to 155 lol
General question for those in the know: is the left handed market growing?
yep
no MMC?
yes, will have that video tomorrow as well
@@clubchampionmedia you guys are awesome, thank you for the top-notch content!
Guy in the red looks like Rory mcilroy American brother
Still not selling my MP-4s lol
Brian Pope Never sell good clubs, not worth the little money you get, mp 64's ain't going no where..
Poor guy wants to sell his irons and down the Titleist rabbit hole the conversation goes. Suppose you just need to roll with it.
First!
Shut up and take my money
Funny how black represents death and all these guys getting black wedding rings, coincidence?
The arguments against blades, such as, that “better players than me don’t play blades” or “why make the game harder than it is?” are nonsense. Anyone who can carry a 43* blade 9 iron over 143 yards should be playing blades. If your swing is that good, cavity backs, gi irons, etc ... are doing absolutely nothing to help you, it’s all in your head.
When your swing is good enough to carry far everything else takes care of itself. Farther carry = better swing. There is a reason the top players in the world are mostly the longest hitters. I hit the ball just a little short of Matt and play the tm p730s xstiff dg tour issue shafts. It’s the consumer version of what DJ uses. Once I learned the correct golf swing I almost never again missed the center, could not care less about moi or “size of sweet spot” . launch angles are primarily dictated by loft, of which blades are pointed more towards the sky meaning higher launch. It’s the Indian, not the arrow.
@@e99783 lol, you almost never again missed the center eh? sureeeeeee
