Anyone have any opinions or personal reviews to share on the new Mizuno MX Series Wedges:

http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/wedges/mx_series_wedges/




I have the Mizuno MX-950 Game Improvement (Forged) Irons:
http://www.mizunousa.com/equipment.n...golf&cat;=irons





Am looking for some similar (Forged and Forgiving) wedges to go with them.

The specs as copied from the Mizuno website are:

Grain Flow Forged mid-size cavity

Grain Flow Forged from Mizuno's softest 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel, the MX-Series offers a forgiving wedge combination to blend with any cavity iron set.

Y-Tune technology extends the exceptionally large sweet area, high into the toe – forgiving the miss hit patterns of most amateur golfers.

A solid Power Bar and impact Cavity Pad enhance the MX-Series exceptionally solid feel without sacrificing stability or ease of use.

Shot variation is possible through Mizuno's triple cut sole design, providing relief to the wide forgiving sole. While precision forged grooves ensure maximum backspin and control in all conditions.

Grain Flow Forged

1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel - 10% softer than steel used in previous MX irons
Y-Tuned Performance

For tuned feel, forgiveness and COG position
Midsize cavity design

Increased forgiveness to supplement Grain Flow Forged Feel
One piece construction

No welds or joins for solid feel

Relieves wide sole plate from turf drag
Precision forged grooves

They're available only in Europe. I have a friend who got a 50* one but didn't like it. I won't take his opinion for granted though, he's a 14 years old kid and his complaint was that "it wasn't long".

They are also available here in South Africa. Just want to know if anyone has used them and can share their experiences with them. Thanks a lot though.

Thanks :) They look very similar when I compare how they look to my MX-950's. Also they are forged.

One thing I do remember was i struggled to take a nice divot with them. Sole grind wasnt sharp enough.

Okay but not great

I have a set of 3 of them (M-950). I played for about two months. They felt really clunky. I went to the MP T-10 and feel like I have more control.

Anyone?

I play with MX-950.

If you can't find MX wedges in US, you can get MX-950 wedges in 51, 56 and 60*. I bought 51* off ebay. Are they good? It's as good as your swing.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
