Hey everyone today I was at my local golf shop today when the Mizuno van showed up. The guy who runs the shop told me the new line of clubs was coming in soon, and that this guy from Mizuno was showing them to him. So before I left I walked over to the van and he let me look and them and hold them. Here's what I saw

The MP-52

These irons are still part of the MP line so they have the players look and feel, but are more forgiving than the MP-57s. They have a kind of CNC Milled cavity which is solid in the high irons and carved out in the low irons for more forgiveness. They are similar to the MX-25s except smaller with a thinner top line and less offset. These irons are between the MX-25s and MP-57s.

The MP-62

These irons are also part of the MP line, but are a step up from the MP-60s. That means they are more of a blade than the MP-60s offering less offset and a thinner topline. They feel nice and really set up wonderfully, although these clubs are definitely for the better player. These are very nice irons for those players who want to set up from the MP-60s, but not to a full blade yet. These irons are between the MP-60s and MP-67s.

Yeah me too, but these irons offer different styles for a different array of swing types.

My MP-62s came in today. Hit them on the range for about an hour or so. I love them so far. I'll probably play 18 with them tomorrow depending on how busy the course is when I get off.

The 62's are really nice and they look nice at address. If your into blades these are pretty much it with a little forgiveness.

I think MP-52 is comparable (and the answer) to Titleist's AP2. Love the MP-52, by the way. Simple and clean just like all MP lines.

They look fabulous. You’ve seen these 1st hand. Do you think a combo set (5-7 52’s & 8-PW 62’s) would blend well or does it look like the offset is too much, or do one of these new sets already represent a combo set?

I'm an assistant pro, I ordered them 2-3 weeks ago when I first heard they were coming out. Didn't think I'd have them for another week or so, was a nice gift from the FedEx man yesterday.

I played 11 holes with them today, by far one of the nicest/best sets of clubs I've hit. Now I just need to find a putter I like as much as these irons and I'll be set haha.

Yes, they are really nice and it was cool seeing them first hand from Mizuno. I think that it would be better to blend the 52s and the 57s. He told me they have the same top so that when you blend them you see no differences at address. The 57s should be good 8-PW and the 52s 4-7 for more forgiveness in the low irons.

I never thought of that, but that's a great idea. Can't wait to see them.

It's going to be between those, the T/M Tour TP's, Bridgestone j36 PC's and the above combo. Thanks and good luck.... Phil

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By DaveP043 ·

      Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

      Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
