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.

    I HAVE PLAYED MIZUNO IRONS FOR A LONG TIME.–25 YEARS++ I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING MP25 AND WILL GO TO THE MP18 AS SOON AS MY WALLET FATTENS A BIT. THERE IS NO CLUB ON THE MARKET ANY BETTER IN QUALITY AND FEEL.

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

    I will be watching Vegas and his iron pairing at the Masters to see the compatibility

    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.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
  • driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300.  The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length.  I am playing a Ventus Red 70.   I play 70 grams in my fairways.  I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee.  When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time.  So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck.  The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
  • JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
