New Mizunos for 2011

[Alohaed]

Anyone check out the new irons on Mizuno's website? Wow!!!! The two new MPs are gorgeous. And the two new GI's, "JPX" models, are cool looking too. The JPX-800 has a running shoe look to it. Sounds crazy, but when you see them, you'll get my drift.

not bad....i still like some of the older modeals personally: like the MP 32,33,30 and last years 58 and 68's

If anything, I love the MP-57s. I wish they would bring that beauty back.

Not too crazy about the JPX-800 irons.
The colorful cavities make them look something like... Cobra GI irons or Callaways.
Not that it's a bad thing, but I think most Mizuno fans loved the simple, clean look of their lineups.
Looks like the JPX-800 pro irons have the profile of the old MX-200.

I actually like the MP-53 irons, and seems pretty forgiving for a MP series.
Might give them a try once they arrive in the local golf shop.

Yet not as bad looking as the Cobras or Callaways

I love the clean design of the MP-series, happy to see they keep it up.

I find it a little weird that they added a JPX line. I kind of liked the symmetry of the MP and MX series.

Yeah, I wonder how many focus groups went into that.

"35.4% of our respondents said they felt an extra letter in the model designation implied they'd hit the club longer! It's a no brainer, boss!"

I hope this site does a review of any of these new MP irons.

I posted my review of hitting the new MP63 and 53 in a different thread.

I am disappointed that Mizuno went to 46° PW in both MP sets. The JPX-300 has a 44° PW and the Pro line has a 45°. And just 3 years ago, Mizuno had some of the most traditional lofts, including the 48° PW in their MP-67s!

I believe you can still order the MP-57s. They're listed in a brochure I have (from February) as "signature series" along with the MP-32 or MP-33s (I forget which).

That'll probably end though. The new "Signature Series" are the MP 52 and 62. I agree with the loft thing though. I like my 47* PW, and would actually prefer a 48*. Of they keep going lower I'll be in a weird situation.

I guess we'll hear endless marketing chatter about how these clubs are ten yards longer than anything else they've ever produced!

Yep check out the jpx 800 pro with Luke Donald on youtube. I believe it was about 9 yds longer than the irons he uses now,though those are MP models and more than likely 3* weaker.

The JPX series was an asian only brand,check em out on Ebay the prices are crazy expensive. Those shafts must be sweet to charge that much for a set.

I love the look of the JPX 800 Pro. Can't imagine ditching my MX 100s, but if I did I would take a real hard look at the JPX's.

WOW! 44* is a nine iron,so what happens when they get to the three and four iron? impossible to hit.I'm hoping to get a look at the mizuno's tomorrow,hope there in the store.My mate was going to buy the mp 58's but now wants to wait to try and look at the new irons.

[soloredd]

Is it crazy to buy a set of MP-57 now for use when I tire of my Callaways? I'd hate to lose the opportunity to get a set of those but my Callaways are just fine at the moment.
