The 2010 putter test is finally done! It was done over 4 weeks time and tested by 922 total people. Out of that 922 people, there were 806 amateurs ranging from a 1 - 29 handicap and 116 professionals ranging from 0 - +4.
There were few companies that sent putters in and my goal when testing is to not keep any equipment. We send everything back to the companies. The companies that didn't send anything in, were still in the test. I have few friends that own golf shops let me borrow the top putters of 2010 or I just bought them (which will be give-a-ways). A lot of the small companies and designers were left out just because their stuff isn't carried in shops too much. I tried to get many involved but maybe next time. A list of putter companies tested will be at the bottom of the page. My putters were tested but left out of the results so no one thinks it was fixed.
The Ranking criteria was based on performance, looks, value and feel on a scale of 1 - 10. Each person was set-up to each putt from a distance of 5', 15', and 30' and they putted 3 times at each spot. There were 2 different tests. One for Amateurs and another for the Professionals. Now, I'm not a testing website but I felt the tests around the net and in magazines were flawed so I'll start doing my own. "One" person made all 9 putts out of 922 people and got to keep the putter.
The Professional test below...
TP Kia MA Daytona: Pure, pleasing elegant shapes. Every edge, curve and surface is composed with the utmost precision, balance and care. Milled from end to end of soft 1018 carbon steel and finished in Midnight Black
Odyssey Black series: Extensive work between the Odyssey design team and Tour players like Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els has led to the Black Series Tour Designs 2 Putter. This precision-crafted milled putter features a new look and provides the soft feel demanded by the best players in the world.
Cameron Squareback 1: Tour-proven, now production-ready, Scotty made the Squareback 1 a Studio Select production model after a season on the PGA Tour as an Xperimental Prototype. He fine-tuned this sought-after design to include a double bend shaft-over-spud setup for those seeking a nearly face-balanced mallet. With a half shaft of offset, players get a clean look at address and a silky smooth feel at impact.
SSB-Southport: Sunset Beach’s Southport model with its crisp angular lines has been expertly designed with a beveled sole and a plumber’s neck hosel aiding in a correct set-up. 1018 Carbon Steel. Headweight 350 grams. Loft 4°. Lie 71°
Rife Aussie Black: Inspired by one of greatest putters to ever play the game of golf, Ian Baker-Finch. The new Aussie IBF Tour Series is the first in a line of putters paying tribute to the many great golfing talents from “downunder.” The Aussie is a traditional plumber neck flange style putter design. It head is 100% CNC milled from 303 stainless steel (except for the neck) and is coated in a dramatic non-glare satin black finish.
Yes! Mollie: The Mollie is toe-down flanged-blade that features several technologies that work simultaneously to provide more roll and consistency. The back of the putter is fitted with a section of ultra-heavy tungsten which significantly increases the MOI of the putter when combined with the ultra light C-Groove face of the aeronautical-grade 6061 aluminum. The body is made of 303 stainless steel and the entire club is CNC milled to perfection. The light soft face and a heavy back make this putter extremely forgiving. Mollie has a head weight of 355 grams, loft of 2.5° and lie of 72°
Bettinardi BB1: The BB1 model has a more rounded shape punctuated with soft edges throughout. This model is a perennial favorite for the professional and amateur golfer alike.
David Hicks DH10: New to the range of DH models the DH10 comprises of soft visual features and toe hang for the more traditional player. This toe hang putter will help the player rotate the putter through impact when following the ARC theories. The DH10 possesses the Dave Hicks' unique balata insert technology.
Nike Method: Adopted on Tour and proven by two Major victories in 2009, the revolutionary new METHOD putter was born of innovation and fueled by the demands of our Tour athletes. The Polymetal Groove Technology provides a faster, positive forward roll at impact for the kind of accuracy and consistency Tour professionals demand.
Ping Redwood: The Redwood Series pays tribute to the home of the original PING putter—Redwood City, California. It was in Karsten Solheim's garage that his equipment revolution was born and with it came the commitment to quality and innovation found in this 100% milled putter series.
The Amateur test is finished and I will post that in a little bit. That test was huge as you saw above with the numbers. Some of these putters tested were there too but some on this list didn't finish on the list.
Top 5 Iphone Golf Apps!
1. Breakmeter: Shave strokes off your golf score with BreakMeter. $.99
This application uses the iPhone accelerometer to measure the angle and magnitude of the green slope in two directions.
Use BreakMeter regularly and you’ll train yourself to recognize subtle breaks — and make even the toughest putts. .99
This app is one of my favorites. I found out about this app while being a caddie for a PGA Tour player. During the practice rounds you are surrounded by caddies and players finding the pin placements for the next day since it was a Monday Qualifier. These guys would stick this level type thing on the hole to figure out the break. Well, my buddy was a caddie for another guy in our group and the player breaks out his Iphone. Wondering what the heck he’s doing, I go over and look. It served the same purpose as almost every other caddie was using. The kicker was all the caddies saying “you’ve got to be kidding” I paid 100.00 for this thing! How much was that? .99! It does take some getting used to figure out the degree thing but nothing more than a few minutes.
2. Golflogix: Get the best GPS on your smart phone. 24 hour free trial. $39.99
I just downloaded this app a few weeks back and after the free trial version I purchased it. It wasn’t a cheap app at 39.99 but I’m happy so far. Finding the courses is a breeze. The first time I used it I went only off the GPS to see how close it was. I’m a pretty good player and know my distances pretty well and it wasn’t off by enough of a distance to be a factor. To any players that aren’t scratch or better, this will be perfect for you. My buddy had a bushnell to give precise yardages but him being 2-4 yards difference showed that this app is awesome. I still went with the app just to go with it.
The battery life wasn’t so good with me. It lasted until number 14 and that’s with me using my other phone for calls. I didn’t use this phone for anything other than the GPS. I was disappointed. Well, I should have paid attention more. Every time the pop-up came up for the battery suggestion, I just ignored it. After not ignoring it the next time, I made it through the round no problem
3. Iswing: Simply record your golf swing with iSwing's built-in recorder. Then replay the swing frame-by-frame, in slow-motion, repeated playback or the new Motion Echo® setting. $5.99
Ok, this one is good. If you’ve ever been to golftec and received training from them, you will know how expensive this stuff is. This thing is only 5.99 when those golftec lessons can cost you 100’s. I’m sure you can get a little more value out of the guys but Iswing for this price is hard to beat.
My favorite part of this whole app is the frame-by-frame sequence. I’m the type of player that plays off of feel so going to a sequence is not my usual thing. After using this app, I can see where I’m off and correct it for the next day or the next time I play. It’s hard to see a lot of stuff on an Iphone but this app lets you send it to your e-mail or upload it to your facebook. That feature is a must to use.I do use the touch-screen drawing a lot because I have the tendency of a bad set-up with my legs being too straight. This always makes me get back to the fact that I need, for me, to slightly bend my knees a little bit. I also use this to see my take away. Too many times I’m taking it back to far inside when for my swing, I need to take it straight up the line or a little outside.Seeing their videos it usually has a guy holding the phone so I was scared about that but of course they were on top of that and made it to where I can put my phone on my bag and be able to record shortly after for solo recording. I highly recommend this application. There’s a lot more this can do as well so go visit their site for more information.
4. Where to Golf: Directory of 1000’s of Golf Courses. 1.99
I don’t use this application as much as I should but I like it none the less. So many times I go out and play courses I’ve never played and with a touch of the button I could get all the information on the course I need.
Say you are going on a trip and need to find a course because you have a free day. All you have to do is enter the zip code, city or golf course name and it brings up all the courses in your area. It tells you if the course has a driving range, it tells you the weather and even the type of grass the course has. You can call the shop form it, get a gps map of directions to it and even see what the earliest tee time is available.
The only improvement to this app I would suggest is the editing part. I’ve edited a bunch of courses and they just don’t come up as changed the next time I go into them for some reason. There are lacks of reviews but I expected that since most websites out there lack reviews. It would also be cool if you could see a tee time available and with a click, book your tee time and it’s charged to your Itunes. I guess that kind of app is a whole different story. Maybe we just thought of an app! Let’s call it Iteetime ;)
Overall I would give this app 4 or 5 stars and that’s only because of the few bugs. Fix them, and this app is great.
5. Igolfrules: This application provides the answers to your rules questions in a matter of seconds. You have a virtual referee constantly at your side that helps you to use the golf rules to your benefit and utilize all the relief procedures available. 9.99
I like this app for one reason. It helps my friends play by the rules. I have a buddy that has always thought when he goes O.B, he gets to drop where it goes out and hit 3. I honestly downloaded this app just to show him he’s wrong because he’s never gone by the rule. He now says I’m a Brad 14 handicap instead of his normal 10. I’ve e-mailed him the rules over the years. He knows I’m a professional golfer and still never believed me. By-the-way, he still goes by his rule because he thinks it’s too harsh of a rule, haha.
Yesterday was good evidence on why I like this application. I was in a situation to where I was playing with a local head professional at his course and his rules seemed off to me. I hit it left into a bush in the desert lining the fairway. He told me they play that as a lateral and I thought it was unplayable. I look and it was actually an unplayable but he then said by “their” local rules it was a lateral. I played it the way I thought and took unplayable. He then said I could have gone with either choice but I don’t go by “local” rules. Anyway, this app besides that is very good to learn the game. It does sometimes take awhile to load but it’s never been a problem to me.
All these above are my opinion. I'm sure there are tons out there that I haven't given the shot. I have personally tried over 50 Iphone applications and these are in my top 5 for their respective information.

Srixon Trispeed-Trispeed Tour Balls
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – February 3, 2010 – Srixon® Sports, a leader in golf ball technology, is pleased to announce the launch of the new TRISPEED™ and TRISPEED TOUR™ golf balls.
The new TRISPEED™golf ball is a premium three-piece distance ball designed for all types of golfers. The construction combines a soft mid-layer with a large and highly resilient Energetic Gradient Growth™ core to produce a high launch angle with low spin that results in extreme distance and great feel with any club. The larger core coupled with the 324 dimple design promotes a penetrating ball trajectory that is unyielding to windy conditions. The TRISPEED™ is a low compression ball designed to produce low spin off the driver. This low spin performance will produce more distance for most golfers, who tend to produce too much spin off the driver. Compared to the original TRISPEED™, which was widely known for its exceptional distance, the new TRISPEED™ boasts a thinner cover and bigger core. This combination will produce more ball speed aiding the golfer in achieving maximum distance.
The TRISPEED™ TOUR offers a nice complement to the new TRISPEED™. The TRISPEED™ TOUR is a premium three-piece distance and control ball with tour caliber performance for all types of golfers. The overall performance maximizes spin without sacrificing distance by combining a thinner and softer cover with a slightly higher compression core. The core uses Energetic Gradient Growth™ core technology to optimize driver distance and greenside spin control. With its softer cover and firmer core compression, the TRISPEED™ TOUR will produce that additional spin around the greens and on approach shots that certain golfers demand in their ball.
“The new TRISPEED™ and TRISPEED™TOUR golf balls bring added performance without sacrificing distance,” said Chris Beck, Brand Manager for Srixon®. “With these two new offerings, golfers can find an upgrade from the 2-piece ball they are currently playing without having to pay the higher costs associated with urethane balls.”
The new TRISPEED™ and TRISPEED TOUR™ golf balls will begin shipping immediately to retailers and will carry a MAP price of $29.99.
Cleveland Golf has a long history of making great wedges. The almost iconic 588 wedges are still in play all over the world for pros and weekend hackers alike. Founded in 1979, Cleveland Golf was purchased in December of 2007 by SRI Sports, the parent company of Srixon Golf in Japan. Over the last few years the wedge market has become very competitive, with the tour success of Titleist’s Vokey wedges taking a slight edge in weekly wedge count on the PGA Tour. The founder of Cleveland Golf – Roger Cleveland, sold the company in 1990. Later, he hooked up with Callaway Golf and now designs clubs for them. Even Taylor Made has gotten into the act, and several smaller companies also seek to steal some market share in the wedge world. Still a market leader, Cleveland Golf has a new wedge offering for late 2010. The CG15. Last month I first wrote a preview of these wedges, and Cleveland was nice enough to loan me a few to test out in person. Let’s take a look at these beautiful new wedges and see how they perform.
Appearance
With the exception of advances in CNC machining that led to sharper and deeper grooves, technology in wedges hasn’t changed much since Gene Sarazen invented the modern sand wedge back in the early thirties. Subsequently, little has changed in Cleveland’s wedge offerings in the past few years. From the CG10, to the CG12 and now the new CG15, Cleveland retained the same basic look. There isn’t much you can change on a classic wedge design, so most companies relocate the text or change the graphics. With the new CG15 wedges, they have moved the bounce angle number and dots from the hosel area to the sole of the club, just below the loft number. They’ve also moved the company name from the sole to the back of the club, replacing the logo that was there on the CG12. Cleveland has also rolled back the trailing edge of the club to make it more playable when opening the club.
Cleveland’s new CG15 Wedges are offered in 3 distinct finishes – Chrome, Oil Quenched and Black Pearl. The chrome finish is the classic treatment that we are all used to seeing in a wedge or forged iron. The Black Pearl finish is a dark matte finish similar to Cleveland’s gunmetal finish. This dark finish has become familiar to Cleveland fans. The other finish being offered with the CG15 wedges is called Oil Quenched. This finish has a beautiful reddish brown tint to it, and like other non-chromed clubs, it will rust over time. Many players have come to prefer a rusty style wedge, one for the glare resistance, and two because many players believe a lack of polish makes the clubs softer. Either way, a choice of three finishes certainly is more than most companies can offer.
Performance
Hitting everything from basic chips and bunker shots to pitch shots knockdowns and full wedges from a variety of lies. To sum things up, these wedges are very solid. They have the predictable feel common to Cleveland wedges. It’s soft and muted, and vibration is kept to a minimum, even on mishits. The feel almost reminds me of a forged cavity back iron, even though these wedges are neither forged nor cavity backs. This is a common misconception among consumers. Cast and forged clubs differ only in the manufacturing process, not in feel or performance. The reason many cast clubs feel harder than forged ones is simply that harder metals are easier to cast than softer ones. Cleveland has never made a forged wedge, and neither has Bob Vokey, who’s Titleist wedges combine with Cleveland to dominate the wedge market. They use soft carbon steel to cast their wedges, and they feel every bit as soft as a forged club of the same metal.
Cleveland’s Zip Grooves have been augmented with a new feature called Laser Etched grooves, introduced for the CG15 wedge. Using a laser, 4 texture lines are milled between each groove exactly to the conforming roughness limit. This roughness application optimizes ball-to-face friction and maximizes spin under the rules of golf. In my experience, the ability to produce spin depends less on the club or grooves, and more on the golfer’s ability and the golf ball used. Having said that, these wedges can put some serious spin on the ball. From a fairway lie the spin produced is similar to most other wedges. On chip shots executed with proper technique, the ball skids and grabs hard, trickling the rest of the way to the hole. From the rough is where the modern box grooves really shine. Because of the increased groove volume and shape, more grass and dirt is trapped by the grooves and balls hit from the rough spin much more than when hit with wedges with more traditional V grooves. I had no problem stopping the ball reasonably quickly from lies in all but the thickest rough.
The initial finish on the face of the Black Pearl and Oil Quenched wedges wears quickly, but this is normal and unavoidable, just as with any other wedges. The face of the chrome wedges also wears just as fast, but because of the finish its not as noticeable. The grooves and even the laser etched grooves micro grooves held up well in my 4 days of testing, and I predict they will wear well for at least a season for most golfers. It remains to be seen how long the laser etched grooves last under normal use. I always recommend new wedges every year for serious golfers. These wedges are very well balanced, and in the hands of a skilled golfer they become deadly scoring weapons. I was able to hit low spinning shots and high flops alike with ease. The multiple bounce and loft options ensure that they have a wedge for everyone’s needs or wants. Another option that has been in Cleveland’s arsenal for a few years is the DSG wedge, which stands for “Dynamic Sole Grind”. These wedges have a sole that is beveled to allow the leading edge to sit closer to the ground when the face is opened. This allows for more versatility for a variety of lies and turf conditions.
Specs and Options
With three finishes, two different grind options, lofts from 48 to 64 degrees and several bounce options, there is sure to be a CG15 for everyone. The most popular lofts have several bounce options to make the wedges more versatile for different players and turf conditions. The 56 degree loft for example is offered with 10, 14 or 16 degrees of bounce, and the DSG version has 8 degrees. There are also several custom shaft options available to upgrade the stock shaft, which is the now very popular “wedge flex” shaft that many companies are selling wedges with. This is a shame, because these shafts are garbage. I have seen wedge flex shafts flex all over the place on a shaft deflection board, and the weights are also not tightly controlled as they are on a shaft like the Dynamic Gold. I would highly suggest ordering wedges with the same shafts that are in your irons for consistent feel.
Cleveland has a winner with the new CG15 wedges. They feel very solid and well balanced, and Cleveland offers more loft, bounce and finish options than any other manufacturer. The Zip Grooves with Laser Etched micro grooves generate plenty of spin, and they look great in the bag. My personal favorite is the Oil Quenched finish (seen at far left below), which has a gorgeous red tint that is unlike any other club out there. I wish the stock shaft was of better quality, and I also would love to see a comprehensive wedge fitting system available to help match players with all those loft and bounce combination for best performance.
These wedges are beautiful and can really put some spin on your Titleist.
It could be argued that there are irons and there are Mizuno irons. No other manufacturer has had quite the success and pedigree that Mizuno has had across the entire range of this type of club. From the MP players range to the game improvement MX range, there has always been something to make a golfer's hands itch with desire.
The shining lights of Mizuno's range has always been the blade market. The MP-14, MP-29, MP-33 and MP-32 are rightly considered classics of their time and while it's too early to comment on the new MP-68, the fact 80% of the Tour staff prefer it to the MP-33 can only be a positive.
Frankly, nobody need any encouragement to buy Mizuno blades, especially when they are available in finishes like the current black nickel but the reality is that only a tiny percentage of all golfers have the skill to play irons like the MP-68. The trouble is that once you've pured one out of a blade's sweetspot you'd sell your granny to feel that sensation again. There is literally nothing in the golfing world to match it. So is it possible to match the feel of a blade with the forgiveness of a cavity back? Mizuno have tried to show that it is with the MP-58. Alongside these irons are the MP T-10 wedges, Mizuno's last wedges that will have the aggressive grooves that we have become used to and the new MP Fli-Hi, a direct long-iron replacement (DLR) club that is designed to make the long irons as easy to use as possible but without looking too different from the MP iron that it would replace.
MP-58 irons
Featuring the same dual muscle technology as the 68's the MP-58's have seen Mizuno bringing multi-material technology into the MP range. Every previous iron in the MP range has been made from a single billet of steel but the MP-58 combines the soft 1025E carbon steel with a titanium insert.
For a company known for their forging, Mizuno might be seen to be taking a healthy risk by doing this but have offset this by the way that they forged the two together. The 11g gram titanium muscle piece is brought together with the pure select mild carbon steel head while they are both red hot from the first forging process and then forged together yet again. The result is that the titanium is bonded to the head far more strongly than it otherwise could be. Because of this the MP-58 is designed to offer shot-makers a club that is more forgiving that the 62 and more workable than the 52 but keeping the thickness behind the ball that contributes so heavily to the sound and feel.
MP-T10 Wedge showing 360 grind across the back section
The MP T-10 wedges follow on from the successful MP-R and MP-T wedges. These versions add new QUAD CUT GROOVE technology to their characteristic grain flow forging. Slightly smaller than the previous generation, they have a face that is distinctly thicker but have a 360 degree grind that adds great versatility to the sole and thins the appearance of the topline.
The MP Fli-Hi brings the Hot Plasma technology seen in the MX-700 driver and fairways and the new MX-1000 super game improvement irons. Despite this extra help, the profile is designed specifically to fit into a bag of MP series irons without looking too dissimilar.
MP Fli-Hi 3 iron replacement
Appearance
Held in the hand, you can see that Mizuno have not lost their touch. Making stunning looking blades seems to be child's play for them but how were they going to create what is effectively a cavity back without just recreating the previous generations like the MP-60 and MP-57. The answer is that they turned to technology to keep the look as similar to a cavity-blade like the MP-62 but without losing the performance of a full cavity and you can see the result below .
MP-58 7 iron showing the dual muscle and narrow sole
The MP T-10 have to be the best looking wedges that Mizuno have ever made. The head shape and size, the grind across both the sole and the back and the different finish, the designers haven't missed a trick. We've seen a similar grind to the 360 on Chikara wedges and the head seems to be a more compact version of the MP-T but the overall look is stunning, especially in the raw black satin finish.
MP T-10 wedges – top to bottom 64/07, 58/10, 50/06
The premise behind the MP Fli-Hi is simple; even for the better players, the 3 and 4 irons are unforgiving enough to cause them to leak shots. The obvious solution is to replace these irons with irons with clubs from more game improvement but that normally means an iron with a larger head, much thicker topline and a much larger offset. As you can see from the picture below the MP Fli-Hi bridges that gap by bringing the forgiveness and performance of the MX-1000 clubs into a head with a profile much closer to the MP line – smaller from heel to toe, thinner top line and more importantly, and offset not too dissimilar to the MP series irons.
3 iron comparison: left MP-62, middle MP-58, right MP Fli-Hi
Feel
While they don't have the meaty feel of the MP-62 or the buttery soft contact of the MP-68, the 58's are so close it's not funny. Yes, there is always going to be a difference with a cavity versus a blade but this is reduced to a level that even the blade snobs will have to at least consider these. The real difference is how these feel on mishits. Heel, toe and thins are dealt with far far better than the above mentioned clubs and while you're never going to get that 'my-god-what-was-that' on a pure flush you are flattered far more when you hit it less than perfect.
One of the differences with build of this wedge is that the blade is much thicker than normal. This has a direct effect on the feel as it makes the strike much more solid without losing that trademark soft feel. What you find is a impact that is firmer without being clicky. The grind makes for superb turf interaction too.
With the Fli-Hi, you would expect some loss of feel in comparison to the forged irons and that's what you get but it's not bad at all. While it feels muted, the sound you get is like the 'crack' of an old school driver.
Performance
The MP-58 make perfect sense when you play them. They hit the ball slightly higher than their stablemates the 68's and 62's and are noticeably more forgiving without having much more offset or a thicker sole. That tiny amount that you give up in feel you more than make up in performance. The neutral flight means there's no bias for fades or draws and the spin levels are again what you would expect being slightly more than the 62's. The review set had KBS Tours in them which was a great match for these heads as they threw up a high trajectory flight without too much spin but with a far greater level of feel and forgiveness than Project X. KBS Tours have a different feel through the swing too as they somehow feel lighter on the downswing than you expect but they perform brilliantly in these heads and it's easy to see why they have made such gains on the big tours.
The shape of the sole is very similar to the MP-62's which were based on Luke Donald's personal grind. This grind has a a rolling leading edge along with a rolled trailing edge. This makes the club versatile enough to suit both diggers and pickers.
The MP T10 wedges produce great performance on greenside shots but they are also some of the best wedges I've ever come across for fuller shots. Mizuno have especially highlighted their performance on the shorter shots and their increased spin compared to previous generations and combined with the new shaping they have a real effect. While turf interaction is a very personal issue depending on whether you are a digger or a picker, these seemed to cope with either styles of play. This model also sees the first time that Mizuno has introduced a 64 degree wedge and throwing darts with this was great fun but it is obviously a specialist club for those summer days when the greens are running lightening fast. The wedges seem to be relatively kind on the ball too – not the ball chewing monsters that I was expecting despite being able to fly the flag and drag it back.
Close-up of QUAD CUT GROOVE technology
The grooves use Mizuno's new QUAD CUT GROOVE Technology and are Mizuno's most agressive grooves. This means that for professionals playing on the top tours they will be illegal on 1st Jan 2010 but we will be able to use them until 2024. Given the research that has gone into these grooves it's a surprise that there is no face milling but that was a deliberate choice by Mizuno who told us that in all research they did with these grooves, they didn't see sufficient difference to include it. However they said that this might change when the grooves need to be conforming to the new regulations.
These wedges don't quite seem to produce the fizzing-spitting spin that you find on wedges like the Vega RAFW-05 but the spin level is plenty high and the controllability of this high spin level is stupendous. Whether you want a high floating parachute lob or a low thrown hard checker, these are hugely capable wedges and the toe and heel relief make even more shots available to you than normal.
The MP Fli-Hi does exactly what it is supposed to do with its perimeter weighting and low COG and hot face. Compared directly to any of the MP series 3 irons, it gets the ball up into the air faster, is more forgiving and hits the ball further. Trying to hit it thin or fat produces shots that are almost identical to well-struck ones and heel and toe shots produce shots that deviate minimally from the intended path. The only downside compared to standard irons is that there is some loss of precision. Distance control is not as easy and working the ball is almost impossible without resorting to fairly major swing changes but then again, that's the idea.
Conclusion
A tour de force across the 3 ranges, Mizuno have upheld their reputation as one of the finest makers of irons with these clubs. The MP-58 irons show that it's possible to blend technology with traditional forging without losing the elements that make forged irons so special. The MP T10 is easily Mizuno's best wedge yet and the MP Fli-Hi is a rock solid, long iron replacement that will fit in neatly to any MP range. By any reckoning, Mizuno have to be sitting happy with this release.
As an older golfer I have awaited the new offerings from Mizuno Golf for as long as I can remember. Now more than ever the company really has flexed there premium Iron builder muscles. No matter if you’re a 20 handicap, or a plus handicap tournament player there is an Iron that will suite any game.
