Its such a shame that almost no one will ever be able to see a set out being played because everyone will leave them at home. I think the best part of having something like that is being able to get it out and let others experience it as well as enjoying them.
Just saw a guy selling a set of MP20 on market place for 1300 canadian. In the description he said I am a terrible golfer and bought these on pure sex appeal for 1900+tax a year ago but became more terrible so I had to down grade.
Nice clubs. Ping made copper irons back in the day too. I remember having a Ping Eye 2 two iron in copper. One last comment...Rick, copper doesn't rust, it corrodes. Only iron rusts. Rust specifically refers to oxides on iron or iron alloys, such as steel. Oxidation of other metals has other names. There is tarnish on silver and verdigris on copper, for example. Now you can impress that PhD chemist you tee it up with. :^)
Beryllium Copper irons.... the irons you don't kill - they kill you. Well... only if you breath in beryllium dust - which would be difficult to do. But yeah - it is really, really bad for you. I had a beryllium lob wedge and loved it.

Just adding this comment here because it's your latest video. I am an avid disc golfer (though not very good!), and I've been so inspired by your videos that I ordered my first starter clubs, due tomorrow. I love the concept of golf; whether with frisbees or golf balls, this sport--conceptually, technically, spiritually . . . whatever--beckons the best in you to be a little bit better. I love that. I am so excited to start playing traditional golf at 35, and I plan to keep on watching your channel for clear instruction and an overall good time. Thank you!
I got #80/500 and I finally put them in the bag after 2 weeks of debating whether I should just display them on my living room wall. They are just way too gorgeous. I literally got chills opening that black Mizuno box. And then I got bigger chills after puring my first 9 iron on the course. That click. That feel. Butter. Your reaction after striping that first 8 iron, was my exact expression. Wow. Just wow. Thank you @Mizunogolf for making these. $2,020? #worthit
jtcroofing()co()uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Copper-patina-colour-chart1()jpg they will turn green in about 10 years. they might be doped or perhaps have a clear finish.
I have 5-6 sets of Mizuno irons, both blades and cavity backs, and another 9 sets from other brands. The Mizuno sets are the best feeling but it's especially so with the blades. There are some other older blades that compare favorably, like Haig Ultras but not quite to the same level. I'll never change back from Mizuno
I’ve been with Mizuno since replaceing MacGregor Tourney 1025 VIP CM set with Mizuno MP-60, 3-PW. Being truly honest, the hashtag tells it all. I’ve went to demos since long and never found any stock clubs, that would have the same buttery feel as Mizunos. Titleists are hard as a rock, Callaway Prototypes were close, but the 1030 carbon steel was really hard, yet pretty nice. The others match pretty much Mizuno GI-clubs, but the top end in MP-inventory are at their own level with a decent gap in between. And the best part is, Mizuno is not that aggressive in sponsorship, but sell the same issues to customers as for the pros, not making them under the shelf from Miura san. Mizunos are made of the same 1025 steel as the Tourneys were. Never hit Hogan Apex blades, but I hear they are forged from 1025E and returned in the market with different strategy in selling. They don’t use middle men, but direct sell from the factory. The ICON blades are something, I’d love to try.
They can seal them to not rust/oxidize. You can also use a polish to keep them for oxidizing. Those are also gorgeous iron's more companies should make them and take the proper measures to not oxidize. Rick Shiels keep up the great work with your content and Thank you!!!
@@nuru441 or.....tell the missus you're playing golf and put the phone on silent + leave it in the golf bag. Mine knows that me leaving to play golf = leave a text for when I'm done, or call in an emergency and I'll check my phone every so often.
I just started watching this channel as i made my final decisions on buying my first real set of clubs. You had a bunch of good content on almost everything I was looking to buy and gave a real honest take. Love your content dude, you are a natural born teacher and showman.
Idk know if you know this but copper doesn't rust like iron or steel. That's why it's used alot in plumbing. it might oxidize though which might be the "rust" you see. I'd put some sort of oil or protective coat on them so they stay in that beautiful state! Otherwise over the years it may corrode and turn bluish green which might look pretty cool as well 🤷🏼♂️
Rick, you should play them. I imagine the patina oxidation would probably add to the iron spin like the "raw" finish wedges that were designed to rust and boost spin. How do they compare in terms of swing weight? Is the copper thicker to compensate for the lack of steel? I do love how marketing has enabled a company to sell unfinished products for a premium price. 🤣
Amazing looking Irons. MIZUNO keeps producing some of the best looking and irons decade after decade combined with feel and workability. Great videos thank you.
Don't know if anyone has said this yet but one of the bonuses to copper is that it doesn't rust. what it does is oxidises over time which creates the green looking layer which can be confused for rust, this actually protects the metal from further corrosion and should be able to be cleaned off easily enough. So you don't have to worry about them rusting they won't and as long as look after them I doubt the green layer will form very much either.
Imagine Ricks wife walking in the garage and just seeing rick bent over whispering "would you just look at that just gorgeous" hahaha. Id pay for ricks onlyfans
new to the game, didnt think i would love it this much. gotta say, your enthusiasm makes me want to go play 18! but for now, ill stick to learning how to even hit a ball at the range (and watching your videos to learn obviously). thank you for all your help you have given me as it is!
Mizuno: What do we do with all these B grade irons that we can’t finish in stainless? Ah, just polish them up and sell them as a collectors edition set! Seriously though, they do look pretty good.
I remember waiting for my Mizunos to arrive...felt just like Rick. And just like Rick, just marveled at the beauty of the clubs for an hour. After each and every practice/round, I would meticulously clean and polish the clubs. I've played many clubs but Mizunos are just something special, maybe like a Ferrari?
Wow! Just wow! Beautiful clubs. Rick, are these solid copper or copper covered? Did you notice any difference in the size vs. the stainless steel version? I loved your enthusiasm as you were opening the box. I’ve had that as an adult when I purchased a new high $$ lens for my camera. So, are these yours now? If so, congratulations!!
Love it when you slide the Mizuno box out of the box... you catch your breath... "Wow! what a nice box!" lol!!! Love the child-like joy watching you unbox these!
Best looking clubs I have ever seen . Even the finished ones are great . I Have the HMB’s and they also look great . I have had had several golfers at my Club say “ Wow those are stunning irons “.
Just purchased 3 (used) *Mizuno* irons/wedges, to round off my set of clubs.. And Im probably just as excited to get them as you were with those^-^ Although, I place blame on you that one of mine is a 'bladed-4iron'.. Just watched an ol' video of yours, where you used a set of *Mizuno* blades, and they looked & sounded sooo good!. I just couldn't resist their siren-song calling out to me.. (hiiigh handicap player)
Played at Bandon Dunes the other day with my buddies and as we were driving back home we were talking about how some brands are just synonymous with certain types of clubs and how interesting that is. With Mizuno I would never, ever use a driver or a putter - but the irons are probably the best out there....
I hit a set of the old McGreggor copper insert Irons,, as well as recreation that I bought when the companies new old stock was liquidated. great feel. Also have a set of VIP woods with eaper shafts and aluminum inserts
I put head covers on all my clubs stops any damage and also stops the noise of club heads banging into each other when walking this will help keep them in great condition my M5 clubs still look like new after 1 year and 3 rounds a week.
You really outdid yourself this time with an amazing set of golf clubs . Wow, you have to be so proud of the work that Mizuno has done. That is one of the reasons why I am switching to play with these clubs have been impressed by the work they put into making their clubs,
They are nice looking for sure but .....yes there’s a “BUT”, I’d feel really cheated if I bought those for that price because the copper is what they use to get the nickel and chrome to bond to the heads. Aren’t they saving some money by not coating them and if so shouldn’t they sale them cheaper? 🤔#justthinkingoutquiet
That's not what Mizuno said, when they made these, they said they used to do it years ago on older clubs, when they blind tested people, with clubs with copper underlay and ones without, almost everyone said they preferred the ones with. So now MP20s have copper under them. These were only made because people asked for them that way. Not trying to save money, it was customer request driven.
Ur both right. They used to use the copper for adhesion and feel. And they went away from it for years and as a experiment they brought it back and blind tested and it was night and day for testers. And due to all the hype around the copper heads it almost forced them to bring out copper only heads. Soooo when demand is high. Make em pay! Cha ching.
I love mizuno, and agree with them nothing feels quite like them. These are beautiful looking clubs, they shouldn't rust though as far as the copper, oxidize maybe, but not rust. They are cool collectible.
*pushes up nerd glasses* technically, copper doesn't rust. it can corrode (and then disintegrate, but that takes quite a long time), if left alone in the presence of oxygen it usually forms that green patina which is mostly harmless (and most patinas are protective). if you want it to stay copper-coloured, you'd have to constantly clean them in a mild acid solution (vinegar and some other things), or coat them with some sort of lacquer or coating, which might work but would probably clog the grooves and need to be reapplied constantly when abraded (like smacking a golf ball across it's surface)
Hi Rick, Just thought I’d mention, copper work hardens over time, with repetitive strikes in the same location the material will become “harder”. Interesting to consider if that’s why they didn’t go into mass production?
Rick, Copper does not rust. Copper does corrode but if cleaned properly they will last a long time. I have a copper belt buckle that is 50 years old and looks as good as new. Brasso does wonders keeping bass looking new. I would put them in my bag and play a round with them now and then.
Go to the local Electric supplies store and buy “de-ox” or “no-ox” it’s a clear/green grease like material, you should get a microfiber cloth and just barely coat each of the club heads with it. They’ll last forever. We use it for all of our terminations to help prevent corrosion on copper and aluminum.
Same, hit a mates TZoid 5I once and knew I had to have some Mizunos. Bought them 2nd hand after they’d been hit a handful of times after Cathay lost my clubs. Been looking lately for the same set as a replacement. Is a new set on eBay out of the states but a bit steep.
I remember trying out a set of Ping Eye 2 Beryllium Copper Irons back in the day ... they didn't help my game but I looked very cool playing them ... thanks for sharing and the content on this channel
An interesting side note: Copper does not rust, however, it does corrode. Copper is naturally brown and turns a shade of bright green as it corrodes. While some consider copper's reaction to be tarnish rather than oxidation, the metal still undergoes a similar “rusting” process.
Rick, I hate to write this but the "standard" Mizuno irons, being forged, are Chrome plated. They do not have a stainless steel finish. As far as I know, the only forged SS irons were the very old Kenneth Smith irons from back in the 1960's and 70's.
Just a point of clarification, copper will not rust, but patina, which, I imagine will actually make these irons even cooler with time. Ironically, the surface of these "irons" shouldn't rust because the copper finish should contain so little actual iron as to prevent iron-oxide from being produced.
Honestly, Rick, you deserve to play them. Only 500 people will get the chance. You’d probably cherish it more than 490 of them at least. Play them. You only live once, enjoy.

Rick, Copper does not rust. Copper does corrode but if cleaned properly they will last a long time. I have a copper belt buckle that is 50 years old and looks as good as new. Brasso does wonders keeping bass looking new. I would put them in my bag and play a round with them now and then.
Want to give em to a struggling Aussie that’s been playing with the same set since age 15?
Go to the local Electric supplies store and buy “de-ox” or “no-ox” it’s a clear/green grease like material, you should get a microfiber cloth and just barely coat each of the club heads with it. They’ll last forever. We use it for all of our terminations to help prevent corrosion on copper and aluminum.

Love Mizuno irons. Still rocking MP30's

Excellent username!
I got my mp-60s about 6 months ago as my first real set of clubs
Jpx 850 for me and love them
Got MP-25s as my first real set and absolutely love them
Same, hit a mates TZoid 5I once and knew I had to have some Mizunos. Bought them 2nd hand after they’d been hit a handful of times after Cathay lost my clubs. Been looking lately for the same set as a replacement. Is a new set on eBay out of the states but a bit steep.
Along with those clubs, this beat is stunning, too.

I felt excited just watching you open them. Enjoy those beautiful Irons. Your lucky.
I remember trying out a set of Ping Eye 2 Beryllium Copper Irons back in the day ... they didn't help my game but I looked very cool playing them ... thanks for sharing and the content on this channel
An interesting side note: Copper does not rust, however, it does corrode. Copper is naturally brown and turns a shade of bright green as it corrodes. While some consider copper's reaction to be tarnish rather than oxidation, the metal still undergoes a similar “rusting” process.
Christmas comes early for all of us. Rick was a big 6 year old waiting for the brown Santa....lol
Absolutely stunning!!! And I love that you never end on a bad shot!
Rick, I hate to write this but the "standard" Mizuno irons, being forged, are Chrome plated. They do not have a stainless steel finish. As far as I know, the only forged SS irons were the very old Kenneth Smith irons from back in the 1960's and 70's.
Looks great copper goes green and are soft as butter good luck and copper doesn't rust
Absolutely stunning set of clubs. Most definitely a set for a display case.
do you get to keep everything that is sent to you? or do you just get things to test and then send back?
thanks for this video, Rick. i can love vicariously through you!!
I got a Misuno iron set, can't be more happy.
I would put those irons in the bag mate😋
Hey Rick, copper doesn't "rust" it does oxidize but to malachite not hematite (rust). A nice blue green finish vs red would be a nice look!
Put them in the bag
Those r awesome looking irons. I would play for sure. I played Mizuno irons in the past I loved them.
What do you do with the clubs once you have finished testing
Just a point of clarification, copper will not rust, but patina, which, I imagine will actually make these irons even cooler with time. Ironically, the surface of these "irons" shouldn't rust because the copper finish should contain so little actual iron as to prevent iron-oxide from being produced.
They are the nicest looking irons I have ever seen!!!
I used to have a set of the gunmetal Cleveland TA1. I thought those looked pretty at the time but wow; those look really good.
Honestly, Rick, you deserve to play them. Only 500 people will get the chance. You’d probably cherish it more than 490 of them at least. Play them. You only live once, enjoy.
Wow what awesome irons
