Beautiful irons.  I hit the MP-63 and Mp-69 at the Wednesday demo day.  It is almost impossible to hit a bad shot, and the feeling when struck well is unlike the other irons I tried.  The titleist Ap2 comes close, but I still would take Mizuno's over any other iron.  My opinion, of course.

Awesome.  Thanks for sharing.  Im looking forward to trying the MP-59 and the MP-650 driver when I get a chance.  Ive heard great things about both, thus far.

I love the idea behind the MP-59, it makes total sense to mix and match materials in a golf club in such a way. I can't wait to test these out when they get to market in a few months...

I'll be damned if his overview of the wood/driver didn't speak directly to me.  Yes, I play blades (poorly, at the moment), but that's not why.  It's because I'm always looking for smaller head-sizes on the woods/drivers.  Since I already pre-ordered the Ping i20 (which has similarities to the Mizuno woods apparently, such as a streamlined look with a smaller head compared to the g20 and i15), I won't be tempted by the Mizuno wood.  But I am looking to replace my driver next year, so this may be an option for me.  The only problem I have is that Mizuno typically doesn't offer after-market shaft options for their woods/drivers in the U.S. like they do overseas.

Well, Chris Voshall does work for Mizuno as a club designer, so Id expect him to know his stuff.  Its not as if he's some pencil-pusher who sits behind a desk every day and is merely repeating the press release that he was given.

Great video with Chris Voshall, thanks.  The MP-59's are getting great reviews and they make them for lefties.

I hit the 59's in Vegas a couple months ago and they were great.  Honestly, all of the irons are great.  Nothing like Mizuno forging.

You must not have hit Miura 202's. That's different.

But for a mass market OEM, Mizuno is indeed - sweet.

I have hit Miura 202s and theyre nice but not worth the price, IMO.  Theyre basically like Mizunos, Bridgestones or Srixons for twice as much $$$.

Yes, they are a golf club ... like the others.

I've hit the clubs you mentioned above at various times, and no, they are not like Miura Blades or Blade-like cavities -- the spin hosel and whatever they do in their process offers a more dense feel. The others mentioned above I can describe as soft or soft and a little clicky -- when I hit the 202's with Nippons, my description was they feel dense and solid - like surgical instruments. The other clubs have never offered that feel in my almost 20 yrs of ho'ing.

As to the money - you're paying for clubs being on spec and for custom fitting and better club making. For some people, it is worth getting it right in that manner. For others, it is not worth the money.

If you purchase Bridgestone's (?) (or whoever does their forgings) in house exotic brand, Epon, you'll pay more than Miura. If you get Mizunos done by a custom club maker, you will pay as much or more than a set of Miuras. Srixons? Nice but hardly anyone is interested in the USA. C'est la vie.

Back to Mizuno - for a mass market OEM, they put a lot of technology in irons - great stuff.

You can hit/demo/purchase the MP-59's now. They've been out for quite awhile.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
