Testers Announced! Mizuno Long Game Test!

Mizuno is here to bring back a favorite and often requested forum member test for 2023!  The Mizuno Long Game test will see testers fit the top end of their bag with the ST 230 line of clubs to see what sort of improvements can be made using Mizuno's latest gear.  Testers will get to experience the missing piece from their golf game in Mizuno's CORTECH Chamber which is featured throughout the lineup.

What is the CORTECH Chamber?

The CORTECH Chamber: The Missing Piece:  Mizuno's CORTECH Chamber encases a dense stainless steel weight with elastomeric TPU, taking stress from the club face and creating an additional energy source.  At the same time, locating weight closer to the club face to reduce spin rates, while contributing to a more solid, powerful sensation at impact.

Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

Congrats to our testers - hopefully someone has the courage to try 9 wood - if Mizzy offers one!  

 

Great group

Fairways:  Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood  Alta CB red 65 R flex

Hybrid:  Ping G410  26 degree  Alta CB Red 70 R flex 

Irons: Ping G430  7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex 

Wedges:  Ping 195 S54, E58

Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat 

Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5”

Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls

 

While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball. I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course.  It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. 

I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

Congrats to the testers as I’ll be very interested in overall impressions. I was tempted to apply for this but then decided not to.  I was fitted for Mizuno irons back in May only to be told there was a 4-5 week back order for all Mizuno clubs.  That was 6 weeks ago.  Was told that the Memorial Day holiday caught them by surprise and seemingly set them back another 2-3 weeks.  Recently went through the hybrid/woods fitting with my fitter and decided enough is enough and opted not to try the Mizunos, and Pings won the day.  Still very excited to receive the new irons and sorry for the negative comments - just feel like they don’t care.
