I absolutely love your guy's reviews on Mizuno. Golf is a tough sport to master and expensive as well. So being able to rely on consistently true and honest reviews like yours, definitely reduces the fear of purchasing the right or wrong clubs. Been watching for years now. Cheers!
Mp18. Pw-6. 7iron32d.
Then5-3 in these. There awesome! 3iron carry 220.
Driver,4wood,3chalk hybrid,
52,56,58 wedges. Putter.
Makes for a clean bag.
Glad to see Mark back on the mizuno team. Fan of your reviews 8 years.
Mizuno loveliness, they just make great irons in every category.
Finally a company trying to help all golfers and give a progression of clubs. Just wish I had the money for new irons. We can all dream!
Just got fitted - these weren't on my radar when I went in, but I loved these and bought the set.
jbnh10 exactly the same for me. Combined the MP20 and HMB👌🏻👌🏻
Wow! Up to now, I was ignoring the HMB's and only looking at the blades! I will definitely try these clubs. Thanks!!!!! Have a great day!!
Just put 5 through P in my bag (I play hybrid 3 and 4) and absolutely love these! Great review gentlemen and thank you for the awesome work and insight you provide. Enjoying it here in the states!
I found the HMB offset as the day is long. My miss is an overcooked draw so it was nails on a chalkboard to look at. I went MMC/Blade combo. I WANTED THE HMB, but it didn't work with my odd eye.
Great review as always Mark and Dan and really good to see on course testing. It’s really encouraging for mid handicappers such as me to see pros as good as you boys saying you could game all or some of these irons. I am going to give them a try as having seen them up close they look fantastic and a quality product. Keep up the good work chaps!
I just bought a set of the 919 HM Pros which I've been told are the same as these HMB's. I played the MP-33's for 22 years and I can tell you that the HM Pros are a thousand times easier to hit and have taken several strokes of my 5 hcp. When the HMB's hit the states early next year I'll be testing them agains the HM Pros to get a good comparison. Great video guys...thanks for your help!
We are in an almost exactly similar situation. I have weakened most of my Hot Metal Pros by 2 degrees for gapping reason (47, 42, 37, 32, 28, 24) but I did go and test out all the new MB20 range - the MMC and HMB being now my exact loft spec. You will love the MMC if you are like me - you will see the offset in the HMB versus the HM Pros. After a retest the next day when I didn't bring my HMP nor test the MMC or Blade, I didn't see the offset as much and decided to order an HMB #5, bent stronger to 24 degree (same as my 1 degree weaker HMP), and with a slightly lighter shaft (SteelFiber 110gram vs my 120gram Dynamic Pro S300) - and I did this all because I can't stand seeing the back of the HMP 5_iron at address. I may be crazy, it likely was stupid, but that is what I did.
Just got fitted for the HMB 4-7 and MP 20 blade 8 - PW. Can’t wait to take them out on the course!
My HMB's are out for delivery! Really looking forward to getting my hands on them.
how you like them? ive literally just got home from getting fitted to a set
Thanks for the awesome review. Just ordered a set of HMB's, Can't wait for them to arrive
I love that the lofts are sensible. I’m still a huge fan of my MP18 FliHi irons.
Looking forward to the comparison video. If these would be used in a "blended" set, I'd imaging that the HMB clubs should travel the same distances as the corresponding clubs from the "regular" MB's.
Superb club review best format of club reviews on the tube : loving that bruh 👊
Really like the idea of these clubs, gives the opportunity for a wider range of golfers to look at this type of club .great review, thanks for your efforts.
Twitchard and Buzza used to game the MP-H4 irons which were similar in theory.
Can't wait to try these. I play MP-18 MMC today, but a bit more forgiveness would be nice in the longer irons.
Recently got a set of hub's. Absolutely love them.
Would be interesting to see how they compare vs the hot metal pro. I've used the hot metal pro for a season now and feel like they get too "jumpy" at times. Really looking forward to the combo video
Love it...
7 to P = MB
4 to 6 = HMB
That’s exactly what I’ve been fitted for 👍 can’t wait for them to arrive
@@jwalker5584 what about the gap between 6 and 7?
It’s a shame for lefties they don’t offer 6I in HMB for the Combo set
How did you find the blend??
Seems similar to the MP-H5 that Mark used to game, but better looking.
George Smith same philosophy but poles apart in looks.
Picked up the 2 iron the day it was released, immediately took me back to the mp h5 in general vibe, just in a nicer looking package and generally nicer feel, esp on misshits
I’ve been fitted for the p790 and as my handicap has come to 6. I need more consistency from the irons and not get the bombs. I still struggle with strikes with my 4/5 irons. I tried out the short irons in the mp20 and absolutely loved the feel and looks. I can’t wait to see the blend video as I want to get mp20 6-pw then 4/5 iron in the hmb mp20. I live 40mins from Newquay and might come and get fitted in the studio and get the blend correct. I need to make sure I get the gapping correct for the two clubs as they’re different lofts
Getting mine next week, i've gone 2,4 HMB then 5,6,7,8 mmc, 9 and wedge MB so the full shabang. Love how seamless the blend is. Mizuno just feel so pure
Sam Djavit that’s exactly what I’m thinking of doing how are they?
Nickseahawk love them dude. Off centre hits are not as bad as my callaway apex pro’s, my bad shots are not as bad and I’m playing the best golf of my life.
4 iron is cracking, lovely flight. The Mmc’s upto 8 was a good choice. 9 iron and wedge I feel I need dial it in and they are great around the greens. All in all, very happy with the split
Hey Sami. Why no 3 iron? Do you still like these irons?
Pick these up today after being fitted last week am in love
Awesome review. Ready for an upgrade from my Cleveland Blacks and very keen to have a hit with these. Looking forward to a custom fit experience and have had a crush on Mizuno gear for a while!
They seem like the mp-h5’s that I am playing currently. Would love to see a comparison of the 2. They were released in 2014.
Good comparison - can look at the HMB as a more refined, slightly hotter version of that iron.
@@mizunogolf1906 back from the dead. I am also playing the H5s and just ordered hmbs. Why did you make the lofts on the 225s so much more aggressive? The HMB is one of the few nice GI hollow irons that doesn't have strong lofts
MARK - we need the blend video! Great video
Dan, you’ll like the wedge!!!! Great job at reviewing as always.
One of the coolest reviews I've ever seen on this channel. Unreal guys 👌🤙👍
I just got fitted for the HMB 5-pw- paired with the new es21 wedges and Titelist tsi2 driver. Now I just sit here and wait for 3 weeks.
Beautiful looking clubs and excellent honest review as always cheers lads 👍👍
I would love to add a couple of these on the high end. I currently have a set of MP4 that I built last year and I could use some help in the 3 & 4 iron space.
I hope to be test these soon. A HMB v 919 forged hasn't been done that I can find.
Would be interesting.
I should wear my glasses when I comment.
Awesome looking club. Great review guys! Look forward to the combo vid. In the market for some new irons - need help at the top end of the bag...
Would love to test them!! would love to compare a mizuno blade/HMB to a 620 CB/T100 Combo... in titleist, struggling to choose between them!
These going in bag feels awesome for hollow iron been for fitting on mizuno day just unsure if 2 blend or hmb full set . Looking forward to blend video b4 pull trigger
They also make nice drivers ,wedges and fairways , cue the Michael Caine voice " not a lot of people know that " . Great review , thanks.
What I love about this range. They just scream classic mizuno. The classic good looks and feel. I expect nothing less from them.
Local range had the 3 iron for sale in the used bin. Picked it up to try to see if I could game a driving iron. Oh my word, what a club this is, and I was like, where have you been!? Doesn't feel anything like a Crossover or TM club. It's very unique.
Was it easy to hit ??
@@BuffaloBarber24 not really. I got rid of it and now have the MP18 fli hi which is a much better club.
@@TenPester in what loft ?
@@BuffaloBarber24 it’s the 3 iron I have. With a KBS C-Taper 120 Stiff shaft. Feels great.
Mizuno mp18 p wedge through 6 iron, jpx tour in the 5 and 4 iron and the mp20 hmb in the 3 iron love them all
we need a player distance hollow iron comparison. HMB,TMB, I500, P790, PXG, maybe i am forgetting someone?
They will all do same thing.......only comparison is what you like or dont fir whatever reason.....but expect performance to be identical just like it's been forever
Cobra F9, Ben Hogan PTx Pro
Demoed 7 iron HMB with a project x 5.5 the other day. Loved it, ice shape, nice feel, strong flight into wind. Getting fit in a week or so and would like to hit the blade MP20 as I am interested in 8-P in the blade but will be interested to see gaping as there is 6 degrees between HMB 7 and Blade 8........
Is the 5.5 a regular or stiff ?
beautiful clubs - i do like how manufacturers are making these ''game improving'' clubs to look like their blades and not some massive chuck of metal - would def blend these in if not game full set
Love the look of them. Just hope I'm good enough to game them. Going to get fit for these (or bust - stick with my current set). Hope Mizzy's up'd their shaft selection ...
Love the look and sound of these! Great review guys, love my mp15s but might just make the move.
Spin numbers are really great... Totally gameable
Another great video Mark and Dan - while we're talking blends, could you play this with the JPX-919 Hot Metal Pro's in say 4-7 and these in 8 to PW?
Great video! I'd love to know what is the performance difference between these and the JPX Forged? Very similar head size, offset, etc. seem like they are filling the same performance niche but with different approaches.
Could you pls do a video on this?
I tried the 7i in both the MB and HMB last week. Loved the MBs, but still hit the HMB well too.
I'd be interested to try out 4i in HMB. Prob go 4&5 HMB and 6-PW in MB 😍😍😍
Great review guys thank you. I’ll be gaming HMB 2,4-6 and MP 20 MB 7-PW exactly for the reasons you mentioned. So looking forward to my new Mizzies 💪🏻
Did you go along with that combo set? If so what you think?
Why no 3 iron?
Great looking club. They've got a jpx feel to them in a MP range. Similar finish and lofts to the JPX forged but in a MP blade look. I could totaly game them.
Tried these clubs in my local golf range on sat one word about them awesome
Great review as always. Thank you! For the average potential buyer, it's very difficult to think of a combo set when the only club to test is a 6 or 7 iron in a local store. I haven't looked at pricing (happy w/current clubs), but for what I imagine is $1k plus for a set, not being able to test up and down the set (say 4,7, pw etc) with the different models keeps me away from even trying them. Thoughts?
Recently gone to ping i500, love these style of clubs beautiful looking but with that bit of help for those who are higher handicapped. Maybe I should have waited. But pings are still very good
Im thinking about mmc 6-pw, hmb 3-5. I absolutely loved the feel of the mmc. I have hot metals but the distance control is getting inconsistent even though my ball striking is improved.
Great review guys. I’m considering changing from a set of jpx850 forged for a set of these or a combo of these in some fashion.
Gaming them pw-7 iron MMC 6 5 4 HMB. Love them🙂
More blending than a cooking show...🍽
Nice looking and performing clubs. Looking forward to a compare video with the Ping i500 and TM P790 irons.
Tested the HMB today. Shame only 7 iron to test but based on the 7iron it was c.15 yards longer than my MB. Needs some serious consideration. Having 4/5 and PW available for testing would be helpful to gap against the top and the bottom of the bag.
Need a crowd funding page set up for Lester, to get him into a blended set of new MP-20's. Lester is all about the blades and this would be a great addition to the team.
I still game the mp5's but bought the 4/5 iron in the hmb. Yet to hit as we are in Lockdown but i have initial concern with the offset and how thick the sole is. I hit the middle of the face but my bad shots are an overdraw or slight fat, so not sure these clubs will help me 🤔
I am gonna do 4 5 6 maybe even 7 in hmb and the the rest mb and probably gonna have the mb bent strong 2 degrees so I don't have a huge gap
Looking forward to the blend video!
After watching a few number of reviews of the MP20, I find that the MMC just doesn't fit visually. If they're pushing the set blending then why have the MB and the HMB look like twins and the MMC like a long lost cousin? A lot of people are saying the would combo the set. 4-6 HMB and 7-PW the MB. I'd do that at the drop of a hat. Mizuno has got a winner here! Btw, HMB = Hold My Beer!
Lovely review lads, not sure where the MMC will fit in this line as a blend due to the visual differences between the MB and HMB especially since you mentioned how you like to keep it as close as possible visually. Keep up the good work.
From our experience players who choose the MMC are likely to take a pretty full set - with maybe just a 3 or 4 iron in the HMB. Will be a lot more variants on set splitting going on with the muscleback and the HMB. We'll have sets ordered 3-7 iron HMB, with just 8,9 PW in the muscleback.
Nice video gentlemen. I had a problem with my MP18s digging too much for me. Do these have more camber/pre-worn leading edge on the sole? Thanks.
Keep up the good work!
So would you rather blend these irons with the mp?
As that what I would like to do but i al unsure if the number wouldn’t be workable due to these irons being 2 degree stronger and typically abit more hotter of the face
Anyone else not a fan of Mizuno short irons...the shape in particular and more particularly in the JPX line. Odd shape to them and they seem to get chunkier than the rest of the set. MP line looks a bit like it suffers from the same thing? Look forward to having a go at all three models when they come in though as Mizuno always feels great.
I need a whole bag of MP-20 Hold My Beers!
I want these clubs now!
I currently blend 5-7 MP-59 with 8-P MP-69. Love that combination. Maybe it's time for an upgrade ?? 😀. Great review boys!
Have MP69 P-7 and MP54 3-6
Those MP 69 are soooooo good !!!
Mark and Danny, love your stuff... I’m a PGA teaching pro in Boston Mass. I was Gona buy some Epons this year but you have me sold on these Mizuno’s... last set I played were the MP14’s... thing is I’m now 61 and still hit it very well, but I’m looking for a blend... I was thinking of MP 20 blade GW, Pw, 9 iron all separated by 5 degrees starting at 50 degrees... then Mmc 8,7, at 35 and 31 degrees... then MP HMB 6,5,4 all 4 degrees apart.
But big question. My miss is a toe hit. Are the JPX line better for toey’s? Appreciate any feed back and if you come to the states let me know... Charles River and a few others ( The Country Club) are possible
Glad I pre ordered 4-6 in hmb and 7-pw in mb before seeing this. Made sure to tweak the lofts to match the SEL set - 4degree gapping between each club.
Looking forward to the 20th!!
Great video guys 😊
you will love them
I would game the hell out of them, once I had the lofts adjusted for gap correctly. My body aches after a round with my current MP4s...may be time to get these, and order that AARP subscription.
love those sticks! And the way yall say "H" lol hello from near Pinehurst!
Heych mb
Hayeightch
i respect your advice and opinion
Another excellent review of one of golfs top manufacturers. Whenever they launch a new iron they always give you plenty of choices, which I like.
Are they comparable to the slot-back MP-25s, Mark?
How would you compare the MP line blended set, compared to the Ping I500 complete set?
Hell yea I would game them, I would do what Dan said and blade it up from pw to 6 iron. How about a give away for a set of these bad boys custom fit with dan the man!
Yes I would game the whole set of HMB. They look awesome.
Hi Mark, would you say that these irons would be comparable to the Taylormade P790 due to the hollow head design? Also, what sort of handicap would you say these are aimed at? I play off of 12 and would consider iron play my strength, but still am looking for something with decent forgiveness levels
Might switch form p790 black. Idk if it’ll make any difference. Just scared they might be too chunky
You reference the Titleist T-MB irons frequently in the video. These seem to be in the same lane as those irons, (I play the 718 TMBs) and you like the Mizzy irons a lot, apparently. But when you reviewed the Titleist irons, it didn't sound like your opinions were favorable. Has your opinion of the T-MB irons changed? If not, how are these Mizunos better, in your opinion?
How would your blended gapping work out with the 4, 5 and 6 HMB with the MB 7, 8, 9, P when the lofts are stronger by 2 degrees please?
Prima Facie mizuno have said it’s best to reduce hmb by 1 degree and increase mb by 1 to split the difference. I’m guessing personally you should be testing the 6 & 7 to see actual gap in yards as everyone will be different
I blended the MP-18's (MP, SC, MMC, and Fli-hi). I went with 4 degree spacing throughout 4-PW, and a 19 degree 3-iron. If you look at the new MP-20 SEL (lefty), Mizuno essentially does the same thing.
Ask the lofts to be matched. Speak to the fitter as to which model has to be moved depending on your launch
These are my dream irons...
This HMB set is going to be similar to when Porsche introduced the Cayenne - everyone said it wasn't a real Porsche - and then it became by far the company's most important source of profits. This HMB is going to bring Mizuno sales that it never had before so it can also then continue to produce it's version of the 911 - ie its MB Blades for aspiring tour pros. The real shocker is that they didn't chase bomb ball numbers for marketing / sales and it ironically might be the thing that brings it the sales numbers that transforms the company into golf's leading brand again.
Top line looks huge, do the lofts really allow blending?
They do with MMC and you have to work around a bit for the MB
Playing the 221’s but I’d like to add a MP20 2 iron ⛳️
Very nice looking clubs I would blend with the 4 and maybe the 5 I think they would look nice next to my mp15's
Was it the mizuno h4 and h5’s ???!!!
Looks like I’m moving on from 12 year old MP 57’S. combo with hmb mb in low irons.
Seems hard these days for irons to do what they’re meant to but mizuno make a 6 iron do 6 iron things.
👌I had a Bridgestone air-muscle 2-iron. Bigger yet, Similar in concept. That was 2004-5ish... I'm curious to see the refined version.👌
Could you blend mp32 with these mp20 hmb from the 6 to 3 iron? Love my mp32 playing them since 2005 when I was a 4 hcp. But now with the years gone by, I loose distance and find it difficult to consistently hit my mp32's from the 5 iron and longer... possible? I hope so because it would be really sad for me to retire my beloved mp32's...
So how does the new MP20 Mizuno blendable line compare to the new Titleist blendable line (MB / T100 / T200 / T300). Feel (especially with the copper vs. naught)? Playability? Options? Ability to configure your set (as Titleist has more options to pick from, including new driving irons)?
Great stuff!!
Also as a follow up, how does this blendable set compare to the JP 919's from Mizuno? :)
what is the comparable previous version called that you talk about in the video??- MP18 HI-fli?
Can an 18 handicapper use these clubs (6 to PW) if fitted? Or are they only for low handicaps?
Are they a big improvement on my current gamers MP-H5?
