Jhonny Vegas brings Mizuno MP-18 irons to the Masters

Published

on

It was only last weekend that photos of Mizuno’s MP-18 irons surfaced on the Internet, but Jhonny Vegas already has them in his bag at the 2017 Masters.

As we projected in our “spotted” story, the MP-18 irons are likely replacements for the company’s MP-4 and MP-5 muscleback irons, each of which are held in high regard among blade-iron enthusiasts.

Now, we can add Vegas to the list of PGA Tour players who aren’t under contract with Mizuno but are using Mizuno irons.

    I’m liking the straight muscleback, will result in much greater consistency.

    Why does the main iron in the pic appear to be blurred? Is it lead tape, reflection, or just blurred?

    That running bird logo should be moved just slightly lower to make the look more balanced in my opinion. Too much empty space below it.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

Published

on

New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.

The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.

For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.

While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.

A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.

 

A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.

You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.
