Very understandable, Mizuno make great clubs, people want great clubs, ergo, page 1 full of Mizuno threads. ;)

Titleist are great also, up there in the top with Mizuno on the quality of irons. Mizuno also got a great variety of range in their selection from everything to players clubs to great game improvement.

That's so true! You can get traditional muscle back blades or the most radical hybrid/SGI combo set, and anything in between. Plus their lofts are fairly consistant and the shaft lengths and lies are the same between models. That makes it very easy to mix and match sets. I still think they are some of the best looking irons. Even the new MX100s haven't gone too far down the uber-graphics path.

Thanks for demonstrating how little you know about me or how this site is run.

I'd assume this was tongue-in-cheek, but the lack of emoticons kind of tells me you're honestly surprised. I do think this thread's pretty pointless, but I couldn't care less what people think about Titleist equipment (or Mizuno, or anyone else) or how they discuss it so long as they're within the bounds and rules of the site and common decency.

Big kudos for saying "I COULDN'T care less". Most people say "I COULD care less" which means they care a little, at least. That's way off topic, but a pet peeve of mine.

Great clubs, and deservedly popular. But, yes, a bit much, almost cultish. One of my best friends plays the MP-52s. He won't shut up about them. I am getting sick of it. I get it, they are great clubs.

I demoed some the other day.....I can see why he is hyped.....it's still just a set of irons, though. Golfer has to make a good swing, as the clubs aren't gonna do anything magical for you. IF.....IF.....Excaliber was a seven iron vs. a sword....methinks it would have been a Mizuno. Sorry.....couldn't resist.

Pet peeve of mine too. I always want to yell "THEN DO!" when people say they "could" care less.

If I had to think of one negative thing to say about Mizuno irons, and that would be hard to do, it would apply to graphite users like myself. Mizuno doesn't ship any graphite shafted irons as an option except the ones with their own Exsar shafts.

The Exsar plays almost identically to an Aldila NV Pro 105, which is a fine shaft. Still, if you want something in graphite a little lighter and tip softer, Mizuno doesn't make the right weight heads for it.

After that, I'd have a hard time imagining a thing to complain about. And I'm perfectly cool with the Exsars.

Truer words were never spoken.

Seriously though, Mizuno makes great clubs. Yet, Mizuno doesnt really sponsor very many top players (name someone who is sponsored by Mizuno other than Luke Donald, Brian Gay and Stacey Lewis), yet they have an almost cultlike following, so I think people are wondering just why people think Mizzies are so great. I think its a good thing that people are talking about more than just the usual suspects (Titleist, Callaway, Ping, Taylormade).

A brand that has very little advertisement by professional players must be making good products to keep such a popularity. You can not avoid seeing Ping, Nike, Titleist, Callaway etc. in the ads and on the tours, but you don't see Mizuno much, still it's a pretty popular brand.

I've always heard and read that it was due to the lack of payola.

Once club manufacturers' contracts with pros exploded into big time money (read post Tiger) Mizuno began to fall behind in player usage on tour. Now I can't say that is true for certain, just how I've heard it many times. Honestly, the pros can play with any clubs. Why wouldn't they go with the company paying the most?

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
