Confused by Mizuno MP20 HMB LONG IRONS

[@Raymond-sj7cn]

Currently have a P790 UDI 2 iron in the bag but after testing ordered a MP20 HMB with the same shaft as I play in my MP18 blades Project X LX tour graphite but to my suprise not possible to get this shaft....only recoil in graphite. Very surprising so limited graphite shaft options for a company that promotes custom fitting🤔

[@dogankeskinkilic6070]

I've got fitted HMB 5-PW irons on last Monday by Mizuno fitting center in Melbourne. Waiting for the delivery.I do prefer the Hybrids then long irons.

[@Redskies453]

Just got one today. Flies the same distance as my 4 hybrid which is a 3i replacement. Goes lower, straighter, less sidespin. Toes and heels come off better due to the flat leading edge. Maybe the thin hits don't come off so well, but they just come up short and straight. I'm keeping a 5 hybrid but the 4 is coming ot too make space for this. After the honeymoon period I might think about the 4 iron if all is well.

[@kevinadkins8237]

Just hit and ordered a set of MP-20s a couple of days ago. 3 - PW in the HMB. I've played the original Mizuno Grads for over 25 years, and finally found an iron set I wanted to move to. Since these are stronger loft, I will naturally pick up some distance. Looking forward to playing these rascals, as I love that forged feel. 👍🏾 Should arrive in a couple of days.

[@BuffaloBarber24]

Did u ever grab the 2 iron?

[@seancook2264]

Sat the 716-CB 5 iron next to the HMB off the rack and it is a larger club, as is the 7i & PW when sat alongside 716-MB’s. Certainly not ugly and defiantly worth considering when my fitting suggested when combined with C-taper shaft the HMB 7i was 10-15 yards longer with tighter front to back dispersion.....👍🏼

[@weakbrainthrombosis]

This fall I switched from a hybrid to a graphite shafted 19* iron. It hasn’t really helped my scores yet,but it’s really satisfying when I hit well. I can hit a 200 yard shot that stays out of the wind, or work the ball around a dog leg.

[@andrewdavies1326]

I got fitted for the MP range a couple of weeks ago. Went 3-7 in HMB and 8-PW in MB. The 3 iron will be for off the tee predominately. Tried a hybrid but didn’t like it

[@Adrian-yv8sy]

i could play this and used to have mp h5 3 and 1 irons and loved them but started to find only using for odd tee shot mainly and switched them for hybrids and have more options with them i find but used to absolutely love them and sure these would be the same

Joe Perez, a year in and how have you enjoyed your Mizuno HMB irons?

[@joeperez3520]

@@blakeg.1093 Love 'em. Only issue, which isn't mush an issue any more, is that I had them built with custom shafts, Aerotech Steel Fiber i95 graphite shafts. The shaft, at 95 grams, is on the light side, which I prefer, but the heads then felt a little on the heavy side. Hasn't taken much to get used to the feel.

[@bamburo1]

After getting properly fitted, I will order the HMB 4 to 7 and then 8 to PW of the MP20 blades. I would only use the 3 iron from the tee on tight par 4s and I figure that I will be better of with a driving iron (?).

TAG I would be willing to try these long Irons, but have had hybrids in the bag for about 13 plus years, gave up long irons in my mid 50's, the longest iron I have in the bag is a 6 iron. For a younger stronger player this looks to be a fantastic iron to have, very good video , thanks for the update on new tech.

Checked out your 7i review... Weren't you carrying the 7i 170? So what's the gapping plan for the 6i, 5i and 4i if the 3i is flying only 195?

[@gearbox1858]

adeptic exactly. It’s a joke. Useless irons for any decent player

[@gearbox1858]

jason barger what is so silly about a 7 iron flying 170 and the 3 iron 195? That’s useless on most courses. Not sure what courses you play Jason....

[@adeptic]

Jason, Think a bit. Do you want 6yd gaps between your clubs? My distance control is +/- 3 at best with the same club. A 6yd gap makes it essentially the same club. My gaps are 10-12 yds. So if a 7i is flying 170, the 6 better go 182, the 5 195, the 4 217 and the 3i 230! Otherwise might as well carry the 7i, 5i and the aforementioned 3i.

[@gearbox1858]

adeptic you speak the truth my friend

[@gearbox1858]

jason barger hey Jason. According to your logic the lofts can just be adjusted...right? Have you ever tried bending irons 3 or 4 degrees? What do you think that might do to the bounce and turf interaction even if you could bend them that much?!? One question...how many tour players use these hollow clubs? None. Good players always want tour validation Jason. I’m not talking about 8 handicaps. We’re talking good players right?

Hi Andy I bought the 2&3 in the last 10 days or so I’ve hit the 3 iron twice off the fairway and once off the tee and I must agree with you on how easy it was to hit and launch. I’ve not had a chance to try the 2 iron due to the weather, but I find them as easy off the fairway as a hybrid, but that could be the era I’m from when a 1 iron was common in people’s bags I think the hybrid offers better shots out of semi rough/ rough compared too the long iron but in windy conditions the long iron is better in my opinion. I won a set off James Robinson golf and I’ve chosen HMB all the way through the set. I can’t comment on the rest of the irons because I haven’t received them yet due to James being away, and also I never noticed the head size too be honest it felt fantastic when I hit it but everyone is different.

My carry distance is almost exactly the same as your 3-iron here, and has led me to use my 4-iron instead of my hybrid.

I wouldn’t bc I used to hit my hybrid 3&4 fine. I would buy 5-AW. I will get it next year when it on sale. Lol.

[@GarlitoMc]

I'm torn between the new MP range combo set or the Miura MC-501's! Have you ever tried the them?

[@ericgunderson4826]

I played the mc-501's only for a few rounds (beautiful to look at), just too hard to hit consistently. purchased the HMB's they feel much more forgiving (at least in fitting). I'm a 9 handicap. really look forward to putting the mizuno's in play.

[@philiprook6608]

Pretty sure the thinner top line on the long irons is to move the CG lower, should encourage higher launch conditions.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

If the sole width was wider than the 7 iron that would make sense....but surprisingly it is marginally narrower

[@ronbimeal8341]

I thought the exact opposite as soon as I saw it I thought hope easy it would be to hit and yes I carry it

[@benzeelie6882]

Makes sense that the long irons would have a slimmer toplime. Think about flight in a long iron you want the weight more to the bottom of the club to get it in the air. 7 you want to flight lower. Most golfers can't flight a long iron high enough to get the most out of it

Going for my fitting on sunday hoping to bag the 4,5 hmb then 6 through to pw in the blade I've got the mp18 mmc hifli 2 iron but I've taken it out the bag because of my hybrid plays the same with a higher ball flight but stops faster thankyou for the vlog #nothingfeelslikeamizuno

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Good luck

[@quentindohnt]

Why not a full set ?

[@jessebowers819]

Got my set 4 to P and they're amazing clubs, 4 is so easy to hit I almost with I'd gone to 3

[@georgejung5429]

Did anyone combo set them 4-6 HMB 7-pw MB

[@paulfoster5121]

Got my Mizuno hot metal irons down to 5 iron. Love my Mizuno hybrids . But didn't that 3 iron sound wonderful . Andy, your the man and not so sure your an average golfer. 👍👍😁😁

[@shaggy4344]

I'm a high handicapper but I have have an MP 18 MMC fly hi 3 Iron in the bag. I just prefer the look of an iron to a hybrid and it is so easy to hit it's ridiculous

[@TheAverageGolfer]

All about what suits you

[@James-th8tu]

please compare it to the PXG 0211 since they are similar

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Good idea

[@galdessa1]

Hybrid all day long for me, swapped my long irons out years ago. not going back now.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Try these Steffan I dare you....

[@matthewjohnson1317]

I can’t hit a hybrid to save my life. I love my long irons I carry a 1 iron and a 3 iron.

[@cptpapa]

I just ordered the 2 iron

[@golfbuddy1969]

I see what you’re saying, and it is confusing. Also, look again, because the 7 appears to have more offset than the 3 also, which is even more weird.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

yes It does I noticed when I looked at my clip afterwards

[@jjd9990]

I'm getting more impressed with these HMB's, they look fantastic and I'm going to have a test of these

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Try them you will love

[@asdfkhieee]

I think the guy who is playing the HMB is most likely playing hybrids above 5 iron, some might use a 4 iron, but I know some guys out there just don't get along with hybrids.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

I would prefer the iron ot the hybrid

[@garydavis8213]

That dispersion looks great. Wow.

[@Tops1212]

I just wish, Mizuno lofts were up there with Callaway and Taylormade. That stops me buying there irons...

[@erniestarkey8856]

Vince, I have these irons and believe me, they go. Traditional in loft but very powerful for a blade. Still hitting 9i 155. Amazing irons.

[@gunner9010]

I've been playing JPX 919 HMP's this year and I've never been able to hit the long irons very well until I got these irons. I love my 4 iron so much I'll probably get the HMB's so I can get the 2 and 3 iron.

[@wallstreetoneil]

I agree - i replaced my 919 5 HMPs with 120 gram DG S300s with HMB 5 with Steelfiber i110s and it was far easier to hit consistently - i just ordered the HMB 6 to swap out the HMP 6 as well. The thing I think I feel is the better overall weight balance of the HMB in the longer clubs. I'm very happy PW-7 with the HMP but I weakened the lofts to (47,42,37,32) as they work better for my desired gapping. The HMB 6 iron is 28 (which is perfect and where I weakened HMP to) and I've strengthened the HMB 5 to 24degrees

[@BuffaloBarber24]

Did you ever get the 2 iron ?

[@gunner9010]

@@BuffaloBarber24 I went with a King Cobra utility 2 iron. It's so much better than any other 1/2 iron I've ever had.

Great clustering with the shots Andy! Good hitting mate

[@TheAverageGolfer]

A good day Rob

[@marcvanderbilt9324]

I do. I like long irons

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Gog a lot of weight at the sole and lower face helps to get the ball up. I use an older set so 3 in not the club I would use, normally a 2. Modern lofts are stupid. My Ping Zing 2 with 20g lead tape is 3 wood distance anyway. Why are modern lofts a club low? Answer...to sell wedge sets. Good vlog by the way. Mp18s were good. Wilson tour blades FG-17 are better. Just look at record number of victories in PGA Tour.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Good to hear your thoughts Adrian

[@jessebowers819]

Why not show the ball flight?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Jesse Bowers how would you suggest I do that Jesse?
