Freddyk69 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I was sold on the i500's based on hitting the i700 when I was getting fit for my Ping g400 hybrids until I saw Tony's pictures and the review of the "distance players irons." I LOVE my Mizuno experience with both the MP-59s that I upgraded to 850 Forged when I decided I needed a touch more forgiveness in my long irons. I'm not happy with my fit on the 850's (they convinced me to go with 1/2" long as opposed to the 1" long I've been playing for nearly 20 years) so instead of reshafting, I'm looking at a new set. These are stunning and if they maintain the buttery feel I'm used to, I'm all over them next spring!

null Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 My awesome driving range (Pennington Golf Center) had another incredible demo day. This time it was Mizuno, featuring the entire new lineup for 919 irons. Hot MetalPerhaps one of the nicest GI/borderline SGI irons there is. The call metallic look is absolutely fantastic. These clubs do have a good amount of offset, especially in the longer irons. Just for fun I took a couple of swings with the 4 iron and it took off like a rocket. Golfers that need more distance and easier launch without sacrificing looks will need to check out this offering for sure. ForgedWithout a question the best looking Forged offering to date from Mizuno. The all metallic look is present here and it looks stunning. Top line is pretty darn thin for a GI club. You can see the back end of the cavity at address in the long irons, but nothing after the 5 iron. Feel was fantastic and launch/distance seemed as expected. I can see these duking it out with the srixon 585 and whatever Callaway has up their sleeve to replace the Apex as the top iron in this forged GI category. 919 TourReally classic looking. The new finish looks tremendous. Looks will come down to personal preference, but I prefer the looks/styling of the 900 Tours. From my pictures above, you can clearly see that not much has changed from a sole perspective. Mizuno says they've thinned the top line a bit, but this was not noticeable at address or even up close. Feel was pretty darn similar to the JPX 900 Tours. If you held a gun to my head I guess I would say the 919's feel/sound the tiniest bit more muted on off center hits, but I don't think it's really noticeable. Did I see anything performance wise that would make me want to upgrade from the 900 Tour to the 919 Tour? I can't say I did. The 919 Tour is great successor to the 900 Tour, but I personally saw nothing to give me the urge to switch just yetIf anyone has specific questions, please ask and I will do my best to answer!

Peaksy68 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks for the write up Joe. I recently had a fitting with the 900 Tour, and the results were remarkably consistent. Hopefully I can get them at "run out" pricing, as it looks like the 919 Tour perform very similarly. Probably won't stop me trying them if I get a chance though! Did you go straight to your current shaft and lie angle at the demo day?

gchester33 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The idea of BK changing platforms after the success he's had with the 900s is hard to fathom. Lol! That sounds specific enough to be derived from personal experience. The Forged lineup specifically, looks like they strapped the hood of Buick LeSabre onto a Ferrari. But the likelihood of glimpsing the back of any iron when it's in use is probably about the same as managing to get your elbow into your ear. I'm sure they are an incredible set of wrenches. You gotta figure Brooks is at least going to get a shot at them and if he likes them more he'll play em. His club choice when he starts the new season will be telling as to whether he thinks they're a viable upgrade since Mizuno can't contractually force him into the newest equipment.
