Okay then, since it's been a bit slow on here, here's a post that may get a few responses.
What made you choose Mizuno clubs over all the other offerings out there ?
I'll start off then..... I have played golf for over 35 years man & boy. I played with the usual hand me donw clubs as a youngster and gradually worked my way up to a good 2nd hand set of Sayers (when they were a golf manufactures !) clubs in the mid eighties. I bought my first set of custom fitted Tommy Armour clubs in 1995 and used them until I wanted something with a bit more of a classical look about it. I had a couple of seasons with a set of the Maxfli revolution (balck dot) irons before seeing the light and coming over from the dark side.
I really liked the look of the MP30 when it was launched, it just suited my eye perfectly. I had to have a set of these ! So I was fitted in the winter of 2003-2004 for a set of MP 30s, my first custom fitted Mizuno irons. The were a revelation. I found the short irons really good but did strugle with the long irons at times. They were excellent clubs to play off the tight turf at our links courses down in East Lothian.
When the MP57 came out, I thought that this was the answer to my eratic use of the longer MP30s, so a set of MP57s was purchased, after a fitting of course, and they have been in the bag ever since. I have MP Fli Hi 2,3 & 4 irons that rotate through the bag depending on the course that I'm playing. I sometimes use the MP30s at the range so that I can gauge how well I am striking the ball. With a bit more time to practice, I'll be more than happy using them for a few years yet.
So why Mizuno, well as the saying goes, "Nothing Feels Like A Mizuno" having played cast clubs and then moved to forged, I can honestly say that I can tell the difference. With my prefered ball, the TM TP Red, I feel I can get the best out of my clubs with my swing.
I've got MP R wedges in the bag as well as the Irons so i am more than happy with what Mizuno have on offer and more importantly, it suits my game.
So what's your story ?
