Would've expect a Mizuno release at The Open. PING seemed more suited for a PGA release. Just the timing is all, I get that they were at the end of their cycle. But do they typically put new clubs out right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 One more thing... PING needs to get on the custom shaft “no upcharge†Train. Other than that, I'd say they did a heck of a job trying to make the irons I am dreaming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 From what I've read and watched, these irons say forged on them, but they don't feel/sound like a forged iron and even the iblade and i210 sound and feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine a couple drops of Giloo (hotmelt) could tune them right up. Wonder how they compare to the UDI, Apex, and FliHi on the acoustic side of the house?

GB13 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Has to be the giant hollow air pocket. I'd imagine a couple drops of Giloo (hotmelt) could tune them right up. Wonder how they compare to the UDI, Apex, and FliHi on the acoustic side of the house? While sound and feel is subjective, I have hit them all and will give you my opinion. The UDI has a "softer feel" and a more muted sound. The Apex is a "mid feel" but maybe a little clicky(to me, others may feel differently) The FLI-HI has a "firmer feel" but gives the ball a good "twack". Edit: Now that I wrote this, I think I misinterpreted your post but will leave it up anyway.

RickyBobby_PR Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Would've expect a Mizuno release at The Open. PING seemed more suited for a PGA release. Just the timing is all, I get that they were at the end of their cycle. But do they typically put new clubs out right now? Usually between now and the fall. I'm used to them usually in sept for pre orders...oct is usually when most companies do their releases but we've seen some wait til pga show. Mizuno has the mp18 and st180 drivers so either October or next year release for them Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess with the I500 being hollow body, and a pretty strong steel in the face, it loses the forged feeling. Where as the i200 have the increased amount of elasater behind the face to soften rhe feel. The 500 definitely felt a bit more harsh in my brows demo. If course you have to consider I was making some inconsistent contact with them as well.
