im POSITIVE that you are good enough to play them! with their line big and small clubheads there is surely at least one iron to fit your game!

take the splurge, help the economy.

I'd love to have a set of forged irons...but with a bit of a cavity. I looked at a set of MP52's today....drooled over them is more accurate. I hit the 6 iron into a net for a while. Very nice feel.

One day in the near future I'll have more time. The guy in the shop told me to come by and check a couple of their sticks out and go to the course and play 'em. Different shaft choices to make. Things are sort of strained at work. If things pick up in the next couple of months I'll feel okay about dropping the coin on a set. Right now, though, it just doesn't seem like a good move. A number of folks were laid off from our job the other day....scary times. Where is their company based.....is a Japanese company???

I think the symbol is supposed to be a bird - specifically the 'road runner' (beep beep). Not sure of the significance, though. Maybe their clubs are the road runner and all other companies are supposed to be coyotes.

I love the feel and look of Mizuno irons. Even the game improvement clubs still feel good and do not look as gaudy as just about every other major manufacturer.

the symbol is a bird, and like alot of companies they got their start making shoes. they are popular shoes in japan but i haven't seen many in the states. they do make some of the best golf, baseball, and track stuff money can buy.

Yes, it is a 'Road Runner'. I won't wear any other shoe for distance running. They are not as popular as some, but I think they are better shoes. Kinda like their irons, not a big market share, but a better product none the less.

I'm quite partial to Asics. GT2130 is the way to go. I have Nike Indoor track shoes and they are pretty nice.

The Runbird logo used since 1983 by Mizuno's athletic division has been unveiled as the company's new corporate icon. The Runbird has replaced the 'M' logo, long associated with Mizuno's golf and baseball equipment. The Runbird was first originated in 1983 to more clearly distinguish Mizuno's running shoes from those of Adidas - whose 3 stripe design was similar to the original Mizuno 'M'. The Runbird was created from geometry representing the orbits of three planets, signifying the company's expansive view and freedom of thought. The design was later nicknamed the Runbird. Visible for the first time in Mizuno's golf business on the Tour Bag used by Ryder Cup star Luke Donald, the company has entrusted the Runbird to simplify its global identity after 100 years in business. The Runbird will be positioned to communicate Mizuno's reputation for technically advanced equipment across golf, baseball, athletics, football, rugby and its other specialist sports. Stuart Watson, European Head of Golf, Mizuno explained the changes, "From a global business viewpoint the logo change is essential - Mizuno's global icons like Luke Donald, Derartu Tulu (athletics) and Chipper Jones (baseball) will now be able to represent Mizuno and its values as a whole." "We've also been surprised how quickly we've adapted to seeing the Runbird on our irons and wedges. And early reaction to our recently launched MP-67 and MX-25 irons suggests that while golfers have noticed the logo change, their affection for Mizuno equipment is as strong as ever"

They responded to an e-mail I sent. I was checking on some shaft options and inquired about the symbol. Here is their response:


Hello,

Thank you for contacting Mizuno USA. Our new logo is called a Runbird, and it's a logo that was designed to communicate speed, agility, and strength. The logo was first introduced in our company more than 50 years ago and was introduced in our competitive running shoes. The Runbird design was first used as a functional design element, but became widely popular. Globally, it has been used for decades. We brought it in on a global basis to communicate the fact that we're moving ahead swiftly, with innovative designs, breakthrough technologies, and high performance for our consumers. Feel free to respond if you have any further questions.

Best Regards,

Mizuno USA

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
