Spotted: Mizuno’s new 2015 MP irons and wedges
Photos of Mizuno’s new line of MP forged irons and wedges have been unveiled to the public via Mizuno’s Facebook page for The Open Championship.
Mizuno didn’t reveal much about the new technology in its clubs, which look to be called the MP-15 (irons), MP-H5 (irons) and MP-T5 (wedges), so we’ll have to make our own assumptions for now.
MP-H5
MP-15
Judging from the photos, the MP-H5 irons will most likely replace the company’s MP-H4 irons, while the MP-15 will likely replace the MP-59 irons.
MP-T5
It’s pretty clear the MP-T5 wedges will be available with two different finishes, a black and a chrome.

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

Rob Munro

Yep they look like mp59’s.
I’ll take my 64’s any day.
I also much prefer the MPR range of wedges.
Wait till 2016 I think.

Aug 21, 2014 at 2:17 pm
No hate has been expressed. We are all entranced by Mizuno wands. The MP 15’s have borrowed the diamond shape of the 64’s so presumably it is better. For me I’m stuck with the MP 68’s which are the prettiest blade ever made by anyone and I think the slight dish at the back renders it a bit more forgiving than the new MP 4 solid muscle back. Anyway I was looking for something along the lines of an MP64 but better looking; sorry to be shallow. Not finding it, I will stick to the MP 68’s. Who has a problem with blades? It’s all marketing hype about cavity backs I’m thinking. At what point does the club become unusable for mere mortals? Is the 8 considered usable? Yes. The 7, certainly. The 6 is easy. So it must be the very long ones which are so hard and not many carry the 3’s of any club anymore so where is the problem with blades. It is all hype.

Those wedges are awesome… definitely replacing my MP-T11s with them when they wear out. As for the 15 and H5, they might look a little flashy from the back, but as far as I know, Mizuno hasn’t made a bad iron yet, so we’ll have to see.
jgpl001
Jul 16, 2014 at 4:58 pm
The MP15 looks like a 2105 version of the MP59 – what are they meant to replace, the MP64?
That sole looks Ping G series wide – yikes!!!
The wedges look very good though
I will reserve judgement till I see them in the flesh, Mizuno haven’t made a bad iron yet….
Overall a little disappointed, my 714 mb’s still very safe in the bag
John
Jul 17, 2014 at 3:35 pm
i think the soles look wide because those all appear to be 2 irons or something close to it.

Jul 16, 2014 at 3:54 pm
what the heck is “Hitogami”? I’m sure it is really special whatever it is, but I could’ve done without the word plastered on the back of the iron. I’ve got too many things in my game already that are difficult to explain. Maybe it is Japanese for “go far long time”.
Rob
Jul 16, 2014 at 8:57 pm
I actually laughed out loud at “go far long time.” Well played.
