In case you haven't seen them yet, I wanted to pass along some pics of the very soon to be released Mizuno 2013 Irons. I've joked with our Mizuno contact about Mizuno being extremely predictable with their releases. While I'm sure it has nothing to do with me, they have mixed things up just a bit.

Predictably, the MP-63 will be replaced by the MP-64, and the JPX-800 and JPX-800 Pro have been upgraded to the new JPX-825 and JPX-825 Pro irons. Less predictably...hell...I'll say shocking is that Mizuno is NOT announcing a replacement for the MP-53. So as of right now...at least to the best of my knowledge, there isn't an MP-54.

Here's the bigger surprise. A few weeks ago we showed a pic of the MP-H4. We basically billed the H4 as a long iron replacement (the new Fli-Hi if you will). The H4, which is more iron than hybrid, I suppose, would fall into the same category as Adams's Transitional Hybrids (again - long iron replacements that are more iron than hybrid/wood). The surprise is that while the MP-H4 will remain a long iron replacement option only in the UK, the guys at Mizuno USA decided to turn the MP-H4 into a full iron set.

One final note before we get to the pics. Mizuno is one of the sponsors of the MyGolfSpy Tour Staff Contest. In fact, we're giving away 2 sets of Mizuno irons, and the winners will be able to choose any iron from the Mizuno lineup, including the insanely popular MP-59s, the new JPX-825, JPX-825 Pro, MP-H4, or MP-64.

These irons are so good looking they should be a fold out. I may need some personal time.



Can I enter the contest early for the Mizzies?

[BK in Wisconsin]

Those MP 64's are sharp!

[JBones]

If I were to win the contest, I'd have a tough time choosing between the MP-64s and the JPX Pros; they're both pretty sexy.

[R.P. Jacobs II]

The 64s are a good looking iron though there's really not a lot of difference between them and the 63s...I mean they moved the Mizuno & MP-63 logo around and I do like the raised bird on the 64s...It may be the picture though the diamond weight pad on the 64 is more pronounced(thicker)......


Gonna hit 'em next week.....

When I first saw these I thought "Wow, these look just like the last 15 MP irons they've released!" It's a great look though. if I won the contest I'd be going MP-64 3-6 and MP-69 7-PW. They also scream Bstone J40 CB with a different logo.

Perfect timing... I was just thinking last week that it's about time to upgrade, and I was thinking about looking at some JPX-800's ... the 825's look awesome... I'd love a chance to hit those...

[Miboy62]

That's a sweet looking line up.

[GolfSpy Frank]

Wow those are pretty

[Super Tuna]

Again, really digging the 825's. In fact, I want CH3's set up with the 825 Pro's and the 59's mixed together presuming the 825 Pro's play as a more forgiving CB for the mid and long irons with that standard Mizuno feel that we so love.

That interesting that the U.S. is getting something that the UK isnt. Usually its the other way around (putters, shoes, balls).

My Mizuno contact tells me the MP-H4 is awesome. Granted, he generally says that about all of their irons, but as it turns out, he's usually right.

[skihippy]

Is it just me or do the 64's look a lot like the 53's? I do love the shape of the JPX pro's.....

[jmiller065]

I would need to see the MP-64 in person to really see if I would like it or not... MP-H4 irons and wedges are not my cup of tea, I am a blade person and like to stick to them, only CB i have seen that looks like something I would play is the Adams CMB, but maybe that is because they come stock with KBS C-Taper shafts
