Ok its a bit of an advertisement for their new range but has any1 seen or been lucky enough to demo any of this stuff?

Not in store over here yet but i think i have found my bag for next season!!!

it goes something like this :D

http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/woods/MX-560/local/

http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/putters/Bettinardi_C_BC/

http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/wedges/mp-t-chrome/local/

ok i admit i am only likely to purchase the irons and the putter as i already play mizuno hybrids and tour style wedges and they are performing very well at the minute so they are bottom of the to be replaced list.

But how sexxxy does that black carbon putter look.and being by bettinardi i bet it will perform as good as it looks!!!

And the irons look like exactly what i am looking for :)

not sure on the new driver as i didnt like the MX500 but i am certainly going to test drive 1 :D

and mizuno have always made good wedges but i like what i have at the minute.

Love the look of the putter! If I ever get off the component kick this could definately fit the bill.

The MP-57s look right up my alley as well...

Early reviews are saying they're a little harder in feel to the MP-60s though. :(

We'll have to wait and see.

I like the fact that they are available in lefty. Especially since there are very little forgings availble in custom component left handed. I have started an underground with Tom Wishon and Golfsmith is clearing out there current lefty forging. This may be a way I will have to go when its time to replace my current sticks.

What is the difference between the 57's and 60's? I love my 60's/67's though so no changing for me.

Full cavity inspiration

The MP-57 breaks all iron preconceptions. A full cavity Grain Flow Forged (http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/forging/) design, compacted into an inspiring overhead profile, for both forgiveness and great shot-making.
Designed in conjunction with professionals on both US and European PGA Tours, the MP-57's delivers a 7% larger sweet area (than the MP-60), from a clubface just 2.5% larger.
Both sole width and offset graduate through the set, offering greater forgiveness in the long irons, and more workability in the shorter irons.
Custom Fit (http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/custom/) options ensure that the MP-57 can be enjoyed by both tour professionals and mid handicap amateurs.

Sweet... so whenever i have a mishit, where i don't hit the center of the clubface, i now have a 7% higher chance of hitting a good shot versus the MP-60. :D

From looking and reading, the 57's would be easier to get the ball up and would be slightly more forgiving on miss hits. The 57's would be better for golfer who is decent but more prone to the odd misshit. I would get the 57's over the mx25's and mp60's.

If the 60's are working for you, then no need to change.

57's have a thicker top line, a little more offset and a slightly bigger face than the 60's. It's meant to be the between club between the MP-60 and the MX-25.

Should suit my game to a T.

But if you're happy with your setup, save yourself the time and money and stick with it. :)

i am desperate for that putter..cant find it on sale anywhere yet :(

just gonna order 1 a.s.a.p then get it fitted by the fitter at my club:)

The driver looks an interesting concept?...probably just a nice gimmick to have a dial on the bottom of the sole you can just put it on the number that suits your shot shape?

Is that even legal? moveable weights you can move at the slide of a button during play?

IF it works ( doubt it makes much difference myself ) you could set it for a draw on 1 hole then a fade on the next............:D you could be two drivers mickelson with only 1 driver!!!

* Warning: It is against R&A rules to change FAST TRACK settings during play*............:D answered my own question by reading about it on the mizuno website

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :mad:

I think Mizuno have killed off my bag for next season!!!

On their website it has now removed all mention of the bettinardi black carbon putter coming in left hand options ( it did have 2 left hand options at the time i first posted this subject )

The MP600 moveable weight driver DOES NOT come in left hand options :(

Only the new MX560 will come left handed :mad:

The new MP57 irons DO come left handed and in fact i have a booking for a fitting next week but unless i get clarification that the putter will come left handed before then i will be cancelling!

I am only going to get the irons if i can have the putter..............getting sick and tired of companies not supplying equipment in left handed options!!

Think i am gonna investigate wether this is legal or is it some form of prejudice :mad:

Did you end up placing the order anyway?

No i havent placed an order for them..................because they have no plans to do the putter or driver (MP600) in left hand-at least in the U.K.

So i am going to look at different makers for my irons :mad:
