221’s will be my first set of Mizunos. Couldn’t be more excited
You should feel upset that you missed the MP20
Bought 921 last year. My first set....... I'll never look back!!!!!
Moved from MP 69s to 221s last month. Everything I expected with a little more forgiveness. Love ‘em.
after a lot of studying etc I finally pulled the trigger and bought the 223s, they just had for me that "it" feeling, I felt more confident hitting them, mind you this was just in the simulator.....looking SUPER forward to getting them out there on the course. and how about that effortless swing by Luke Donald..... smoooooooooth.
You'll love them. Great irons.
The bag in shot belongs to Matt Fryer - also in the studio that day. There’s more content on the way.
just say Ping
Love the Ping bag in front of the staff bags, proper elephant in the middle of the room 🤦♂️. Love Mizuno clubs, no other irons compare and Luke is still class, fingers crossed for continued return to fitness & form.
Just goes to show how hard this sport is. He is such a great ball striker.
One of the 'good guys' for sure. Always nice seeing his name up on the leaderboard.
We filmed a few holes with Luke, Mizuno Matt and Matt Fryer (owner of the bag) - video to follow. Luke is still pure class.
How do these irons compare to the MP62 & MP59 which Luke had so much success with? (World No.1 & top money winner on pga and European tour)
That swing 😍... I'm not afraid to say it I'm a mizuno fan boy. When I got into golf luke was #1 and the combo of luke a mizuno is the reason i play mizuno irons and wedges and will continue to do so. Nice content and love the new equipment!
Go back a few years and Faldo playing MP9 made me a fan !
Same here! I still play mp59 because of Luke
@@Teadrinker710 can't go wrong with a classic👍
Luke still has such a beautiful swing.
Luke has such a simple looking golf swing - great to watch his effortless style
Great to see Luke Donald and his beautiful swing, great player and hoping to see him back on the top of the world soon. Well done once again to Mizuno, clubs are looking good especially the 225 HMBs can't wait to try them as soon as they hit the South African market soon hopefully. I have been a big fan of Mizuno since my introduction with the MP18s to my recent MP20 HMBs which I had to let go of unfortunately and quite regrettably. They bettered my game considerably and finally got to experience the forgiving aspect of the clubs. Enjoyed this video and absolutely love the brand!!
I have only ever played with Mizuno Irons. I use the MP20 MMC with the KBS130, I’m 60 years old and hit these bad boys a mile 170yrds 6 iron. I was using MP59 for 7 years. Mizuno are the best Irons by far on the golf course.
So very interesting to hear Luke’s insight, as well as the fitter’s questions to him.
Love these videos. Great to see Luke in the bay. Class act. Mizuno man through and through so will be looking at the 223/225's to compare against my 919 forged. Fitted at Bearwood so another trip from Wales will be on the cards quarter one of next year.....! Keep up the good work guys, Matt, camera likes you mate, the new social face (UK) of Mizzy. ;-).
Mizuno & L.D. - Pure class 👍
Luke is one the greatest. Go and win again!
the 221's will be the upgrade from my mp33's, it's been a long time coming......19 years to be precise
One would think you would show a close up of the product that you're trying to sell yes we know Luke Donald can swing well and plays a great product but when a new product comes out you'd like to see what he's swinging to understand the upgrade & appearance to create the hype. 221 223 225 what's the appearance difference between each model side by side for us consumers to see ? They look great they look great you guys keep saying yet Your the only 2 that see's them up close. Muzuno always has one of the best looking products. SHOW THEM along with Luke testing them for a winning combination video.
You see a Tiger,Rory and other big hitters you're like I want to be just like them .... yet Luke's swing is one like Tom Watson's it's so simple and easy on the body you will be golfing into your 70's with np ~
The Donald... at least, the only one that I want to see playing golf. Nice to see Luke playing well again.
Still a few quality performances left in Luke's tank.
Looking good!
Never knew you liked golf
I've been using MP37 muscle backs for over 20 years. I really wanted to switch to another brand this time but after a long series of demos, I decided nothing feels like a mizuno. I'm getting fitted for either a 223 or 225 this weekend.
Picture perfect finish each time
First time i'm blending a set. Got 223 6-pw and 4-5 in 225. Waiting for them to come in. Playing 919 forged atm. Modus 3 120 stiff shafts, i feel those are just a tick softer feeling than my current kbs tours. I'm sure the 225's will blend well with my flihi 3 iron as well
Played with mizuno mp60s since 2007. Love them today as much as I ever have. Just went to get lies and lofts adjusted. Saying that I have never tried distance irons. Luke picked up immediately ‘a stronger set’. Former world n.1 of course sees through any gimmicks of loft changes to make people think they’re hitting it further.
There's a little more to it than just delofting. Eg - a delofted 221 wouldn't behave the same way as the 223 or the 225. Our aim is to make sure that every 7 iron flies as a 7 iron should. Check our test video with Fredrik Lindblom.
223’s hopefully going in my bag.
Love the mizuno bag with the huge running bird - gotta get one!! 👌
Ryder Cup legend and world #1 legend!!! Not to mention brilliant artist and wine maker! Not a bad life.
Love my HM pro.
Would have been nice to actually SEE the clubs. :(
Plenty of pics out there - we were shooting pretty quickly. More to come.
Love this! Great seeing the comparison for Luke hitting all three models with a swing speed close to us mere mortals.
Ok his still 10mph quicker than me lol
Such a pure swing..
Hay love muzono I have the mp30 and love them
Nice hoofer bag. #1 bag in golf.
Blame that on Matt Fryer - was in with us the same day. Another film to come.
I'd love a set of new mizuno irons to replace my MP30s. I'd probably go 3-6 in 223 + 7-GW in 225. Maybe 221
As I believe they say in England, now THAT'S a proper swing
Why is their a Ping bag in a Mizuno advert? Should I be getting fitted for Ping or Mizuno...just saying.
I'm coming from Titleist and looking to get fitted into Mizuno , just to have an idea would where does the 223 stands ? Is it like a little more forgiving than the t100s ? Is it more like the t200 ?
How do the new 221s compare Mp20 mb’s?
Was going to buy the mb’s but now I’m not sure whether to wait until February and pick up a nice new set of the 221’s.
I’m still playing with the MP 30s and I’m finally excited to upgrade. Are any of these similar to my MP 30s? Maybe the 223? Thank you in advance for any helpful info.
Hurry up and release them
Let's say I have a friend...and his wife agrees to change his TM P790's to Mizuno irons...what set would you recommend....for my friend.🤣🤣
"My friend" was fitted for Taylormade PM7MC irons only last year so "my friend" can't indulge himself in a new blended set of these beauties.
"My friend" has got stinging urine too ..... 😂😂
His wife might want to book him a surprise fitting session next year to find out.
@@mizunogolf1906 but I am in South Africa...I mean he live down the road from me in south africa.🤣🤣🤣
we need more!!
More coming.
Watch that swing on loop.
Mizuno with that baby blue good good
I’m currently playing with a set of JPX919 Forged, which of these would be the most similar in terms of feel and forgiveness?
None of these - 921 Forged is the direct replacement. The 223 is essentially a smaller version of the 919 Forged. The 225 would be closer in stability and ease of use.
Matty with Luke D !!
So does this mean Mr Donald is going to have a win in the near future? i brought my son a 2nd hand HMB 3 iron and he looves it.
I use the jpx 921 forged there spot on mizuno do the best irons
Will you be replacing the ST-Z driver? I know you have added the ST-G 220 but wondering if there’s a new version of the ST-Z coming out as well.
Yes - there will be new ST-Z early next year.
223's going in the bag!
Still gaming MP60s from new - love them but will look at the 223s as soon as they are out - wondering what differences i should expect to see
More stable and a little longer.
Anyone know what golf shoes Luke is rocking?
Do any of these have that copper layer? I really love the 221s
Yes - all 3 models have the copper underlay.
Wonderful, another Mizuno naming convention to confuse everything. I really never understood the differences between the JPX and MP range, they are just so subtle. JPX Forged was always a little too long from heel to toe for me, but the MMC irons really suit my eye. Are the latest irons a replacement for the MP20 range?
Yes. Mizuno Pro is the original version of MP. 221 / 223 / 225 a simpler naming convention - year and the size / forgiveness ranking.
Why is Trackman set on NORMALIZE?
So they get true numbers with no wind et c interfering
I'd pay huge amounts of money to swing like Luke
I live in Japan and went to try out the 221 and 223 a couple weeks ago (released in September here). 221 was lovely as you’d expect. 223 was disappointing. I play the MP20 MMC (Mizuno Pro 520 over here) and far prefer it over the new 223. The 223 lacks both the profile/looks and feel I’d expect from a player’s CB, especially from an MP. Top line thickness, depth, etc. of the 223 basically has the same form as the JPX921 Forged as far as I could see. The MP 20 MMC was a much nicer looking slimmer profile and could very nicely be blended with the muscle back whereas the 223 doesn’t look at all the same as the 221 and feel is disappointing. I unfortunately seem to not really enjoy the Chromalloy feel.
The 223 is actually smaller and thinner than the MMC.
@@mizunogolf1906 interesting - I held them up side-by-side and there’s no way the 223 is slimmer than the MMC. I took pictures- I can DM to you or upload somewhere for sharing. Is it possible the JP 223 is different than what you have there?
These guys are almost as excited as Francesco Molinari.
Curious about the bag in the back! I believe it belongs to another professional trying Mizuno products?
Property of Matt Fryer.
I'm currently playing the Srixon ZX7 and considering a switch... Maybe a combo set of 223-225 ?
Zx7s are Boss! Why would you change already?? I play mizuno and torn between new 223 from my 900 tour or srixon 785 ....
@@InsuranceSpecialist Because I can.... I'm also looking at Titleist T100S :)
The man bun…you taking style tips from YGT Rory!!
Is the flihi expected in a later release?
Fli-Hi will be released at the same time - shipping from February.
When will they be available for everyone to buy?
Fittings from January 2022. First sets shipped from February.
I’d like tracer on his shots please and more shots if not all shots from behind !!
Can any one book a fitting here ?
We do normally offer public slots - but have temporarily closed while we are struggling with shaft shortages.
Wow, was that Luke carry his own sticks!!
Just from the car! We sorted a caddy for the course.
Mizuno make a video and put a Ping bag centre stage 👏🏻
We’ had Matt Fryer in too - another video to follow.
When I go for a club fitting, I too insist that the 'man' doing it has his hair in a bun. This is non negotiable.
Or a hipster beard and flat brimmed baseball cap.
Any left handed love?
The 223 will be available left handed.
how come theres a ping bag in the background lol
We had Matt Fryer in at the same time - another video to follow.
Is 225 player distance iron?
Correct - the 225 is a more refined version of the MP-20 HMB.
Funny they don’t show the odyssey putter en TaylorMade woods
Luke played a
Mizuno driver for a good few years now. Now using an ST-Z. But not - we won’t spend too long showing off his putter in a Mizuno film.😂
@@mizunogolf1906 thanks 4 your reply. Own a set of 919 hot metal pro. Love mizuno❤️
Luke also dropped his bag when he set in down. Maybe he is tired. lol
Is he making a comeback?
Never quit, Playing some steady stuff this year.
Matt Fryer fired🤣
Who?
0:46 "went missing" .... uh huh.
5-p will be like 1800 dollars in Scandinavia. Thats like too much, way too much!!!!!
nice PING bag
im seeing a PING bag in a Mizuno room?
this video did nothing to sell this line. audio is horrible and luke d. just seemed underwhelmed. what is mizuno thinking? completely underwhelming considering these are great clubs. mizuno, it's time to invest in better, more contemporary, relevant pro than luke d. does he even have his PGA tour card any more? come on?
Man bun
Too much choice
that ping bag is anoying
Jesus..this was boring..luke talking or paint drying...going with the paint.. "when I was number 1" .
terrible mumble bumble jumble no telling WTF you were saying
Not a fan then?
