Look who turned up today!

MPX, next time you see Woody, tell him he's one of the nicest guys around. Top bloke.

Looking at this picture, it seems like the T7 wedges have different shapes. I hadn't noticed that before.

MP 66 I guess.

 

[Halebopp]

Interesting

The MP66 debuts in Japan 9/16.

KaChunck, hammer time on the 64, more cavity less muscle and much higher ball flight... same specs as the 64.

The 66 will be an interesting comparison.

That's just every kind of gorgeous, but to me, I feel like it bears more resemblance to the MP-H5 than a previous MP.

 

[Varry Hardon]

For a non-blade, that is NICE.

Any guesses why the Boron?

Keep the edges of the grooves sharper for longer?

Just seen this quote from Mizuno:

“The one drawback with a traditional soft, forged wedge is that the
grooves compress more quickly than a harder, cast wedge,” says David Llewellyn, Mizuno’s Director of R&D. “A very small trace of boron in the steel means we can now maintain the forged feel and precision, but maintain the performance of the grooves and the wedge’s stopping power for a longer period of time.”

Do I win a prize MPX?

Not for plagiarism, no.

How is it plagiarism? Quite clearly says "I saw this quote from Mizuno", hence I'm not taking credit for it

Was meant to be amusing, but obviously wasn't. Apologies
