Mizuno 2011 Line-Up

Published

14 years ago

on

The new line-up from Mizuno sees 2 new wedges, 2 new putters and no less than 4 new irons. The irons are probably the pick of the 2011 line-up with the JPX lines replacing the higher end game improvement MX range along with 2 updated MP range irons. As always, the irons are “Condition of Competition” conforming but the new wedges are the first from Mizuno to conform to the new regulations.

All this hardware is accompanied with many updates of the Mizuno apparel, shoes and accessories including some very funky limited edition golf bags.

JPX 800

The JPX 800 sees Mizuno bring the JPX exotic technology that has been such a success in Japan. The addition of Hot Metal technology has produced their most forgiving (highgest MOI) and longest hitting (highest COR) iron ever.

JPX 800 Pro

The JPX technology combined with Mizuno’s reknown “Grain Flow” forging offer serious golfers a club that has the feel you expect of a Mizuno with the distance and forgiveness of high tech.

MP-53

The MP-53 introduces the diamond muscle into the MP player’s range. Aimed at doing everything the previous generation MP-52 and MX-300 did so well, and doing it just a little better. The largest MOI of any MP iron, the MP-53 looks to combine the forgiveness of a big iron into the playability of a more appealing head shape.

MP-63

The evolution of the Tour favourite MP-62, the diamond muscle adds even more stability. The MP-63 adds a 360 degree grind for a thinner top line and “reverse flow” throughout the set where the long irons are larger than the compact shorter irons.

MP-T11 Wedges

Following on from the superb MP-T10, the MP-T11 have the new conforming grooves as well as face milling. There are two groove configurations: the 50 to 54 degree wedges have grooves suitable for full shots where the ball is compressed while the 56 to 64 have a wider shallower groove to maximise spin rates on shorter shorts. Available in either Black-Ni or two tone satin and chrome.

JPX Wedge

Designed to fill out any JPX iron set, the JPX wedges offer an easier transition from a cavity PW but still with the versatile triple cut sole seen on the MP range wedges.

MP T Series Putters

Three classic headshapes see Mizuno re-enter the putter market. Formed from a single billet of 1025E carbon steel for feel and then CNC milled for precision, face scoring is introduced for a consistent roll.

Line 90 Series Putters

Named after the alignment markings which are at 90 degrees to the face, the alignment aids have been designed to make it even easier to line up the putter. With a heavier swing weight, a thicker grip and shorter than standard shafts, the Line 90 was designed by the R&D guys at Mizuno for the R&D guys rather than for the Tour players

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter

Published

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.

This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.

Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.

The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.

Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.
