Mizuno shaft explained

[Ikki]

 I just received my order  from mizuno  after waiting for 6 weeks. 

 I   Ordered  923 Hot metal pro 6 and 7 irons /nspro 950neo s flex recieved both clubs with the wrong grip

    So to avoided hassle I Decided  to rerip  with the right grip I bought.
After removed the wrong grip to found out MIZUNO put a tapered 38.5”(supposedly for 3 iron)

  on 6 iron 

and 38.0” (supposedly for 4 iron ) on 7 iron

There are a length number 38.0 and 38.5 Stamped  on shaft butt

So I google about taper shaft . Said they are not suppose to tip trim. If so They will become stiffer ( hard stepping)

I’ don’t know how mizuno chooses a shaft to built these club.
 Any suggestions?

 

 

Than you.

I think time to get in contact with your dealer or whoever you ordered them from and look to get the proper wedges and discuss what impacts the shafts may have. 

Unfortunately with custom orders sometimes it's hard for returns so not sure much will be done with the 6 or 7 iron, but the wedges should be sorted asap.

They are all messed up.

 

Yes, it is frustrating that you ordered something, waited for it to arrive, and then discover it is wrong, but I don’t understand why you started by posting on a golf forum.  When I have a problem with something I ordered, I go back to the place I ordered them from to get an understanding on what happened and get it corrected.   If they do or don’t resolve your issue then it would be the time to post on social media platforms about how good or bad their service was.   The wedges are probably just human error.

Mizuno has seemed to be going through a tough time on orders. I got a 923 JPX Tour 4 iron ordered to join my 921s. It took 8-9 weeks to receive them. When it came in, it came with a midsize GP Tour Velvet instead of the standard Z Grips I have on everything else. I don't mind it, but bothers me moreso that it's different. My shaft and build seems to be correct at least.

Would second this. A buddy of mine ordered t22s back in like April (51/55/59 lofts) and when he got them not only did they have the wrong grips but it took them 3 months and the clubs weren’t even the right length. He ended up getting a refund and going with vokeys. I have had no issue (just got mizuno irons myself) just I’m seeing more issues lately from online posts. They may have developed some quality control issues.

Mizuno components are manufactured in Japan but the final assembly is done in Georgia,  USA. I hope Mizuno hears about the complaints and moves their assembly to a place where the employees care about keeping their jobs.

Good afternoon, 
 
Thanks for contacting Mizuno USA. The two shafts that you are seeing are correct for the 6 and 7 iron. We are able to order extended shafts to ensure that we fulfill all custom length requests. These extended length shafts do not impact stepping and shaft performance in any way as the length is added in the butt section. The shafts that Nippon mentioned to you are their standard lengths and not the same as we are able to order as an OEM. Hope this helps!
