Seems to me the best all around club in the bunch is the cobra kings. Gives you distance, decent spin, and forgiveness. Also the fact it comes with the cobra connect is just amazing. Also price is less than the other 2 clubs.
Alex, always brilliant videos on so many levels, making the golf world a better place. Thank you so much for all your award worthy performances. Please carry on carrying on, always looking forwards for your next episode. Cheers
Got fitted and ended up with the P-790, I’m a 6 handicap and couldn’t ask for a better set of irons. The Mizuno irons look real nice tho. Keep up the great content AL
One of your best videos! I’m interested in trying HMB, but I had Mizuno several years ago, and just didn’t like them...I wanted to, and they were so pretty, but just didn’t work for me.
Come on Al....... consistent Mizi joy is the fairway through a round. (My jokes are not as good as yours) I’m having the Mizi’s all day long 7 iron btw. 💪
Interesting results. I see that the Cobras are lower in cost compared to the P790s. Great video, love the entertainment value of all your videos. Keep up the great work, and keep these videos coming.
From the looks of it, the shot dispersion on the MP20 HMB was tighter than the others...which is why I went for those in my 2i and 3i. Great clubs especially in the long irons.
Just hit. The HMB fell the best but the P790 was longer for me. Traded in Mizuno hot metals but I think it was mostly a shaft issue (and some feel) additional money but more piece of mind. Great video!
I love my new p790s beyond what i thought i would. But mizunos have always and probably always will wim best looking iron for any category of iron ever. I remember having 3 to pw titleist 690 cb. Went in clubhouse and left clubs around putting green returned and noticed my 7 iron was stolen. I was pissed. Went to local golf store the next day and asked if i could buy a used iron. They said we have last year demo irons for 10 bucks. But all they had was 6 irons. So i asked can you bend that 6 iron to 7 iron loft and cut and regrip it. That said yes. I walked out of that store with basically brand new Mizuno MP 15 6 iron to a 7 iron loft. I would literally not hit driver off tee and choose 3 wood or 4 to 6 iron just so i could hit that mizuno to the green. I miss that gem of an iron. Sold set when i bought the vr TW irons. That's a whole nother story. Those were my fav of all time
Another awesome clip mate. I have a suggestion for the next review, could you please review the hammer x driver? I'd love to see that, would be amazing. Cheers and keep up the good work 👍👍
So many have said the Cobras are “lower flighting” than others in same category. Is this true from your testing here? I’m a titliest guy but am very interested in those cobras after a fitting but can’t decide. Those t100s or callaway apex pros.
Great video Alex! Once again a wealth of information. Still haven't gotten over missing out on the MP giveaway but congrats to the winner. Will be taking a look at the HMBs versus my current P790s.
Hollow bodies aren't new on the scene. Taylormade ICW, aren't they about 25 years old? Great videos by the way, most fun of the golf gear reviewers, love the channel!
@@BuffaloBarber24 HI Chuck( I go by Chuck as well) Not sure if your referring to to or me, but I ended up going w/the Cobra king tec X's w/KBS PGI 75g shafts. I had the 919 hot metals but shafts were too heavy that I had in them. I got a decent discount on them vursus others and they feel good. A little smaller head, but I'm retired and can practice and play quite a bit. It helps living in the Village's in central Florida !😎🏌♂️
Another entertaining review. I've always found Mizuno to be the shortest in any comparison i've done. Feel great but they are always about a club short.
@@alexetchesgolf LOL Score one for Captain Obvious... Your test yes...lofts were different. Comparison tests I did were same loft...34 degree 7 irons from Titleist AP2 and JPX tour messing around at Roger Dunn awhile back and recently at a fitting with my Srixon 785s up against MP 20 MMC...32 degree loft and Titleist T100(34 degree loft). Even the higher lofted T100 edged Mizuno by 3 yards. Obvi comes down to things like strike & turf interaction etc when all other variables are equalized. Srixons stayed in the bag after a few adjustments. Did really enjoy the T100 though and loved the look of the mizuno. Cheers
@@uwrossl Was just questioning what you wrote. Correct - strike is everything. Robot testing same lofts, weight etc. and I would be surprised if there was a yard in it. If you don't like the looks, feel etc. you'll throw different shapes into the ball and results will show!
With just watching the 1st minute or so of the review AL , and you swing the MP20 HMB. My pic is Mizuno period. But I am bias as you know. Nothing feels and plays like a Mizuno. Plus their just beautiful 😍😍😍😍 .. Great review AL... # TeamAL
You should do a toe2toe with all the different blades Mizuno MP 20 Callaway apex mb Titleist 620 mb Taylor made p7tw Pxg 0311 st cobra forged mb three of them are pure blades and the other three have tungsten in them so it be interesting to get your opinion on what feels the best and if any of them are more forgiven
For me it's the MP20 HMB irons all day long. Don't get me wrong I like the the looks of the other two. They're clearly impressive performing irons. However, as you mentioned, I'm a player that has plenty of distance so I tend to prefer weaker lofted irons.
P790 and Mizuno just seem more high end then the KING. I own the p790's so I'm a little biased. But its a toss up for me. I also have a set of ez forged which I love.
@@alexetchesgolf I just hope I can hit them! I'm an 18 handicap, so i was mostly interested in the 919 forged, but I'm going to try as many irons as I can!
@@benjamintoups953 Got you! I'm rather unusual as I don't feel comfortable with longer clubs, even though I'm 6ft 4 - so I just add 1/4 longer and then add just +1 upright to allow for the toe down action
Great video! Full fat all the way! I grew up in the farm and it was cows' milk or nothing. Getting back to the irons, I've played mizunos for decades and, truth be told, nothing feels like a mizuno. The HMB is redefining this segment. Butter soft, forgiving, and long (if comparing equal lofts) without the unpredictable hot shots that seem plague these foam filled irons. I also love the fact that mizuno has stayed closer to traditional lofts. If you need more distance just take one more club. Having my shot stop on the green and a lower score is more important than long ball bragging rights. Nothing like real whipped cream (from the cow and unpasteurized instead of the store and processed), on pumpkin pie! It's Thanksgiving here in Canada.
LOL 'the speedfoam smuggler'...'semi skimmed milk' - was that one of yours or did you call up The Sun newspaper Pun department? #genius😎 👍👍(PS Muzo's cut above, the end)
Alex has clearly been binging on the full fat milk! Subject to one point I love the looks of the hollow body irons. The one downside for me is the relatively thick top line, I am sure I would get used to it. The P790 is just a tad thinner in the top line so wins on the looks
Yeah, agreed Justin. It would nice if they could blend a thinner top line (perhaps by making it solid right at the top) with the hollow body. Best of both worlds.
FYI..... Mizuno launched the MP-H4 Irons in 2012 so Mizuno has been doing Hollow construction Irons for almost a decade.... The point being you seem to think the TM P790 was the 1st or TaylorMade created the Hollow Iron category..... Not even close
HMB looks fantastic, 790 is just a cosmetic change but still looks good, KING looks ordinary! king to big and no snake. Should have made the king smaller and added the snake.
I THINK THE LETTERING MAKES THE CLUBS LOOK CHEAP.NOT CLASSY AT ALL.A NICE GOLD COBRA SNAKE WOULD LOOK AMAZING AND A LOT CLASSIER.COBRA SEEM TO HAVE LOST THEIR SENSE OF APPEALABILITY.
Still watching. No probs. The headcovers do look mint. #help No it rained. Yes he does he's talking about golf clubs, I think. Where do I get the shirt that changes colour during the day. HMB is the one for me.
there isnt another reviewer on the tubes that would be comparing golf clubs to types of milk...keep being you mate, love this content!
Seems to me the best all around club in the bunch is the cobra kings. Gives you distance, decent spin, and forgiveness. Also the fact it comes with the cobra connect is just amazing. Also price is less than the other 2 clubs.
Im getting the forged tec purely because of the copper version lol, i love how they look
First time stumbling across your reviews. This is awesome. Keep it up.

Dude. I beg to differ. You deserve the Oscar. Thoroughly entertaining review. As always.
Got fitted and ended up with the P-790, I’m a 6 handicap and couldn’t ask for a better set of irons. The Mizuno irons look real nice tho. Keep up the great content AL
HMB definitely takes it for me.... Currently gaming the JPX 919 forged. Might have to give these a look.....
Good but I did not hear your take on the king in that last part. I only heard reference to the MP and 790.
Still watching!! Great video Al. Love the content always keeps me entertained!!

Great review. Was interesting to see the lower spin on P790. They seem to hold the green well without too much roll.
Interesting results. I see that the Cobras are lower in cost compared to the P790s. Great video, love the entertainment value of all your videos. Keep up the great work, and keep these videos coming.
Dan Rivera thanks mate. Correct - the Cobra is at a lower price point 👍

I've said it once, and ill say it again. Can we get AL a meeting with golf channel and lets go from there. Its a joy man!!!!

Wow, I've always played with Mizunos then decided to play with another brand for the past 6 years. I think I'll give those Mizuno MP20s a go.
i really like the cobra king forged tec, i actually got to test the 7 iron a couple days ago and gained an average of 10 yards on my current irons
Another awesome clip mate.
I have a suggestion for the next review, could you please review the hammer x driver? I'd love to see that, would be amazing. Cheers and keep up the good work 👍👍
You always give us great information with a ton of humor..More Milk!.
forged tech looks best in my bag, its also the least expensive!
I have been fitted for the TM P790. love them
Great work Al. Do the i500s fit in this category? How do they compare?

Another entertaining review. I've always found Mizuno to be the shortest in any comparison i've done. Feel great but they are always about a club short.
Thanks very much. That will tend to happen when the clubs are 2-3 degrees weaker than the competition (at least)

The milk analogy... You are the best, as the Mizuno HMB.
How about the wear, tear, scratches comparisson?
Great video! Big fan of the 790 haven’t hit the other two, Curious which one has the longest blade length/ largest size in general
Mark Smith thank you! From what I saw, the P790 seemed slightly thinner and smaller. Not much between them all, just different shaping.
Taylor Made has been doing it for years. Have you tried the much older Taylor Made TD Blades? One of the original foam insert blades.
great vid! No i500?
Great review! Has anyone won the set of Mizuno irons yet?
Todd Walker thank you! Yeah the winner was announced on the Facebook page 👍 more giveaways coming soon
Sorry if I missed it Al. What were the different lofts on the clubs?
Anthony Foster Hi mate, lofts were
HMB: 32
P790: 30.5
Forged Tec: 29.5
@@alexetchesgolf Thank you Alex.
This guy is a total goofball. Fully entertaining

The mizuno club's look lovely!!! They are the only ones that look as good as my i500's. The mizuno lofts are also the best out of the 3.
Should also difference in distance - best to worst. Consistent length not average.
I hope you give the hole a nudge one day in a review. The celebration better be unforgettable
Why no ping i500 or g700 ?

Hey! Awesome. Now put the numbers on the screen as we view it so we can see the data more clearly and I don’t need a damn zoom :)
All three looks good, how are they in terms of price?
Ka Chun Soo this category is never low on price. To be honest, I’m not too sure on the Forged Tec pricing yet
Al whats your handicap? These clubs make me excited for this summer, I am going to get fitted for one of these sets.
Ian Jackson I’m Pro mate. Starting to play a little better now but haven’t been up to standard haha
Looking forward to this! Who will be crowned the winner 🤷♂️
Steven Mellor 🙌🙌
Think id go with the P790 personally. Love the look of the HMB's but the lower spin of the P790's would better suit me 👌
Looks: HMB, to my eye
Matt Parsons nice one!
Has to be the HMB for me too, they look amazing, sound just as good and perform as you'd expect from a Mizuno. This demo day can't come quick enough!

Cobra looks the best to me.
I could spend 7 days a week in this room. nice set up.
Looks goes to the Mizuno. So much like a blade 🤴
Anyone else feel demoralized that his 7 iron speeds are more than your 4-irons?
Agree, HMB on looks.
I usually play a draw. Curious how these irons would benefit me.
mizuno for looks by a long way
Alex has clearly been binging on the full fat milk!
Subject to one point I love the looks of the hollow body irons. The one downside for me is the relatively thick top line, I am sure I would get used to it. The P790 is just a tad thinner in the top line so wins on the looks
Yeah, agreed Justin. It would nice if they could blend a thinner top line (perhaps by making it solid right at the top) with the hollow body. Best of both worlds.

Rob Biles 😂 can always count on you
p790 with those juiced lofts compared to the more traditional lofted mizuno!
Where’s the Epic Forged???
Too strong in loft to be allowed to come and play - it’s an amazing club but would have smashed all these on distance
Mizuno HMB is best looking
Yeah that logo annoys me, the snake logo with a smaller King logo would have been better like what they did on Ricky’s irons
I think the P790 looks better.
Mp-20
Also do you give your boy, James shit when you out drive him by 50m. haha
It looks like the HMB wins. It sounds like the Forged Tech comes close. It feels like the P790 is old news.
