Play the 850 forged with boron….have yet to find anyone that hits them not say “I love how it feels” solid as can be….”Can I have them when you quit/die” common comment….

Hot metal was a few yards less than the forged by was launching higher, spinning 600 rpm more and for me fit my slower swing speed better.
I’ve hit these a couple times against the Steelhead and I picked the hot metal. Comparable distances, better feel and sound and no cost recoil 95 shaft upgrade fit me much better also you can get them for 112 a club at a number of places.

Saw the Tour and Forged heads last night. Tour head is stunning but the size of a traditional blade. Forged looks great and may make a move to my bag over the winter months. Only issue is price. £50 more for 4-pw than the MP25s and a full £120 more than AP2s. Ouch. Crazy money for 7 irons with steel shafts.

What is Chromoly anyway? Is that what rappers have on their escalades? I don’t know what Mizuno is doing? I remember when clubs were made IN AMERICA. Out of STEEL. This is just weird.
That said, you call something “Hot Metal” and I’m expecting the cover of the ball to melt off. I’m expecting hotter than my griddle on sunday morning. These were warm-ish. I guess Warm Metal wouldn’t move as many units.
In summary, I’ve seen more ballspeed on Pornhub.

You know who I feel sorry for? Vanity handicaps who play Mizuno. But hey, to each his own.

Interesting that he hit the forged model longer than the hot metal one.
