Spoke with CH,III today on the putting green about the new MP64's.  He said he loves the look but growing up with GI irons(Pings) he doesn't think he play them cuz he likes the forgiveness he gets with the combo set he got in the bag right now.

Also, a shot of his new Mizuno wedges, which he loves.

Great pics. Much prefer the sole grind of 825s, look to be flatter and less bounce.

did he have some h4s in the bag at the open? i was there and watched him hit a mid/long iron on the 11th and it had a metalic flushed sound to it, like the mp fli hi

those look great, these new mizuno offerings have made me think about playing a cavity back for the first time in about 12 years

Agree... now if the shorter irons are a bit less bulky, I'll be pre-ordering a set as soon as able to.

R grind very versatile...T looks fairly standard.  Wonder if LD will try/switch as well.

Crazy that CHIII is scared or against playing anything but GI irons....
Even going back to his Cally days...... He loves lots of forgiveness..... His ball flight is really low, maybe he likes the extra help ball flight and height wise? He certainly hits the center 99% of the time. I have followed him myself at several events...... Super nice fellow

It just goes to show you that many times what you play growing up will affect your club choice later on.  It would be hard for me to be a Mizuno staffer and not play there blades - what a feeling.  The pros are all about what works not necessarily what looks best.

On a side note I am glad to see Chuckie getting serious again...lately KJ has been kicking his butt in club changes.

From what I can tell in the photos, the "triple cut sole" is included on the new 825's. Good to see this. Thanks for sharing.

I'm liking the look of those wedges. Are they the update to the T-10s?

Agree.

My theory is the new T model is more like a "blank" that can accommodate a custom grind.  CH III's look like they were ground in the tour van.  On the other hand, the R 12 has a more versatile off the rack grind for those of us who don't have access to a tour van or who don't want to pay for a custom grind.

All I know is the R12 is my favorite wedge and the most versatile OTR wedge out there.

I like the irons and the wedges.  If CHIiI won't play the irons, he can "donate" them to me.

Those 825s really look great.  It seems to be an acquired taste, but I'm a fan of the "diamond" look.
