The Open Championship / Mizuno Workshop Blog 2016

Liking the look of the satin chrome, not convinced by the blue one.

Why oh why have I recently bought some T5s????

 

[hursty]

Any guesses why the Boron?

Keep the edges of the grooves sharper for longer?

 

[Halebopp]

The wedge looks interesting, kind of a classical, smooth look to it but the loft and model stampings are a bit different. They are stamped, not stickers, right?

Looking forward to seeing them in person, certainly better than the T5.

Very simple compared to some previous designs.  Look really good in the flesh / metal too.

 

[Ironclad]

Much better looking than the T-5 or S-5 in my opinion, but that sure is a lot of badging and stamping. 

Will be curious to see how they feel. September/October release timeframe?

Much nicer than recent models. Liking that they go right down to PW territory. Slowly getting a more classic look back again. Now if only the loft (not necessarily the bounce #) could be moved back to the sole.....

 

[OhBoy!]

Wedges look v nice. Hope the loft figures / numbers are big enough for my blind eyes to read (S5's are impossible to read for me. I have to use colour coding).

 

[Nic1972]

Great looking wedges, and available in 46° and 48°! I always wanted to use a wedge instead of the set PW. Now, which shafts will be available? KBS 610 and Hi-Rev 2.0? Please say "Yes"!

 

[IvanDrago]

Definitely getting 3 of those wedges.

 

[Eeeec]

Really wonder whether the boron gonna change the softer feel

Few more pics on the blog.  Without getting too techie, can say comprehensively that Boron doesn't impact the feel.  :Luke wouldn't use them if it did.

Lack of new clubs alert 

 

[MPX]

Visitor this am.

 

[MPX]

As you've guessed by now, no more new kit to show at this point.

The guys will keep sending pics from behind the scenes on the workshop....but we're not quite ready to show off anything else just yet.

 

[eddzoid]

MPX, instead of sending me the S5 can I please swap it for the T7?   It looks absolutely stunning!  :up:

 

[Dieselmd]

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to seeing the new irons.

 

[MPX]

Dieselmd - there is more on the way in the not too distant future.  None of it was quite ready for The Open.

You should have asked for The Open to be postponed until the new Mizuno gear was ready.  I'm sure the R&A realise that The Open is merely a side show to the annual Mizuno release exhibition

We here in the colonies have felt this way for years. Maybe it's time to replace the R&A with someone more cooperative... How about The Food Network Open?

Here's one from Luke.
