What GolfWRXers are saying about Mizuno’s MP-20 MMC irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mizuno’s MP-20 MMC irons. WRXer ‘aquapig’ has been mightily impressed after using the irons, telling fellow members:
“Unbelievable feel and performance. I’ve played MP30s, MP57s, MP 4s and JPX 900F..nothing feels like these. I’m not sure if it’s just a great combo with the $ tapers, but for me the control, ease through the turf, soft feel are perfection.
It doesn’t hurt that they look fantastic at address and in the bag. Couldn’t be more pleased with this set.”
And our members have been sharing their reaction and giving their thoughts on the irons 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.
- Golf64: “Great sticks!! Enjoy!”
- jetmech879: “You can’t go wrong with the MMCs! They are great all-rounders! I have played the 18s and now the 20s and really would struggle to tell the difference performance-wise. Looks and feel is a hands-down win for the 20s. I have mine all set at 4 deg gapping from the 22 deg 4 iron to a 46 deg wedge, and it works out perfectly. I also have the $taper blacks in 130X. Smooth as silk! I will be wearing the groves out of these irons before they are sold. Side note I also have a MP 20 HMB/MB combo set that is really darn sweet too with Nippon Modus 125X shafts. I could easily combo in the blades, but I really don’t see any benefit to doing that. I will just most likely let them sit in the closet for the occasional weeks that I feel I need a change.”
- dachtor: “I got my set in January. Same setup…. $ Taper 120’s. Coming from a set of 900 Forged with PX LZ 6.0’s (lofts set 1 degree weak) I was looking for a bit more launch and spin. The 900 Forged were in my bag for the 3 years, and that is a record by about 2 years….. so needless to say, I loved them. Best set of irons I’ve ever owned. That said, when I first got them, it was miserable here in GA…… cold, wet, windy. I was really struggling at first with the distances. I expected to lose about a 1/2 club per iron, but this was substantially worse. My first action was to check lofts and lies, and they were all over the place. This immediately helped, so I encourage you to do the same as these things are SOFT! Very difficult to adjust in minor increments. Now that it’s warmed up a bit, I’m really starting to see the payoff. I gained the launch and spin when I want it, but I haven’t lost as much distance as I expected. For some irons, it’s equal. These things are great. I guess my only concern is the life span of these. I’m already seeing wear on the grooves, likely increased due to wet range balls and mats, but I don’t get the feeling that these are going to last 3 years like my last set.”
- beluga99: “Absolutely love mine with the Modus 120. As a poster suggested, great all-rounders. I have the 5 iron HMB but could have easily played the MMC 5 iron as they launch beautifully. Very happy with my purchase.”
- Krt22: “Love mine with the black 130 $-taper. I have 3 sets of irons that are all very similar, but the MMCs stay in the bag.”

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter
Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.
This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.
Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
