Marine02 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I’m going to get fit in the next couple weeks for new irons. Been swinging MP-53’s for 9 full seasons. Curious if anyone has opinions on the new lines? I’m LH so unfortunately they didn’t extend the 919 Tour line to us lefties so I’d have to look at the Forged. I’m a 5.7 handicap 105-106 Driver swing speed if that helps anyone with intimate knowledge of these irons share their opinion specific to me. Thanks in advance.

GB13 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 They are both great, but so are a bunch of other clubs. Do yourself a favor and go in to the fitting with an open mind. That way the fitter can put you in the clubs that work best.

GB13 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 That being said, not knowing to much about your game, I would think that the MP 18 SC is your best bet for feel and workability. If you were looking for something a little more forgiving and a little longer then the JPX 919 Forged would be a better option.

Marine02 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 I don’t get to play as much as I’d like so part of me is leaning forgiveness. I’m getting fit and I will test the Srixon line also but I don’t know if I could leave Mizuno. I absolutely love the feel. It’ll come down to which I consistently strike well when I purchase.

perseveringgolfer Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 MP18 SC are excellent clubs and they are cheaper than new with a few places right now. Best get fit and try a FEW clubs similar from Titleist Ping and Wilson as FEEL is as important as looks and the trackman numbers Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The 919 JPX are going to be hard to beat from a ballspeed perspective, but I would be curious how the MMC fair against them A split set (mp18 MMC 4-7, SC 8-PW) could be a good option as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to see the numbers. I absolutely love the feel with Mizuno. As long as I like the look of the 919’s at address it’ll be hard to move away from the ballspeed numbers.

Marine02 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Koepka won 3 Majors with the 900’s. I know they are good but they also use the Tour model. Wasn’t sure if the Forged line was getting the love the Tour was or if the MP line would be better to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasranger Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'm a lefty with the MP 18 SC and I absolutely love them. Unfortunately we don't have the option of a split set with the MP 18 MMC's or the MB's... Sounds like we have very similar handicap and club head speed so I'd venture to say you'll love them as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanks Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Own the 919 Tours, currently. Owned the MP18 SC when they were released last year. They feel very identical but, the Tours are a bit more forgiving with their weight distribution, I think. You can not go wrong with either model or either line. Mizuno makes a great product. Buy with extreme confidence but, don't grab it off the rack. Get fitted and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 so how does this reflect on the rest of Mizuno clubs and for next years new clubs. Bit risky imo their head guy basically saying this is the best they can do.That's not what he said at all. He said that the forged model is their best combination of pure looks and technology and to date this is their best attempt at that.While the MP blade will always be their heart and soul, the JPX Forged is the true representation of what Mizuno is as a company.

JbcobbIII Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I went by a golf shop to hit the MP-18 MMC irons. I had researched them and was positive these were going to be my new irons. I hit them, and nothing. Just a dead feeling. They had just got the new 919 heads in the day before. I hit the forged it was ok. Nothing spectacular. I hit the tour, and was blown away! The JPX 919 Tour irons are the best Mizuno has right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
