These irons have surpassed every expectation.  You'll see on the 'Ex Nike plyer' thread how many are switching to this model.  Now the king of classic MP Luke Donald has switched too.  I can tell that he was under no pressure to change and it's come as a bit of a shock.  We thought Luke was locked into his MP-5s and expected to have another season out of them.

Thr extra yards for same traditional lofts seem to be swinging it.

Excellent great to see Luke playing the new Mizuno JPX 900 Tour irons shows the confidence he must have in them to move from the MP-5s :up:

I'd be interested to know what woods he is gaming...!

I see that the head covers are the JPX 900 but is he actually playing the woods or is it still something else....!! ?

May be MPX could tell us ?

Cheers

Nick Watney plays them at Pebble Beach this week, see the Monday session photos on golfwrx.com, including a Mizuno tour bag.

Or just look at the Ex Nike players thread on this forum :)

Luke has been S300 forever - i'd be shocked if he changed now.  But will look into it.

From the man who makes Luke's irons - he's still playing the S300s.

You can follow Jeff Cook (Luke's clubmaker) on Twitter.  https://twitter.com/jcmizunousa.  He really could do with the followers.
