Mizuno ball testing

Good luck to all that have entered. I'm happy with my ball of choice so I'm not going to enter.

It does seem a little odd to me that a company as big as mizuno feels the need to enter an already very saturated ball market in the UK...
 
Email sent, used Srixon Soft feels for nearly 2 years and can't fault them so be nice to see if they would be good enough to make me change.

The name says it all, if the ball is as good as their clubs then it will be in the top 3, and I would imagine its not going to be cheap and will be right up there looking to target the better golfer.

Have you seen the ball market in Japan? Equally crowded, if not more..... And they are a player there, why not try here?

Was in Osaka last Feb planning to get some when I was there but couldn't find any Mizuno balls and found the price of most other brands exorbitant. Needless to say I've emailed to get a chance.

In that case, why do they not sell they're Japan version clubs to the Uk Market?
 
I'm guessing its the MP8, 8X balls that are coming .....

The 'How Bored Am I' rhyme


Sitting in my house all bored,
I look out at the snow,
Alas I notice Mizuno are asking
"Just how far will our ball go?"

So I send a little message
To the good folks at GM
I hope that I am picked to see
If the new ball's a little gem.

So sick am I to be stuck inside
It really is a farce,
So God if you're listening, bring out the SUN
And stick the snow right up your .................. list of priorities to remove from Lanarkshire

Maybe not all of them. but certainly the JPX range was available in Japan as well as England...... I'm not in any way linked to Mizuno, so have no knowledge of their corporate plans.... I was just commenting on your question as to why they would want to compete in an already saturated market. Was only pointing out that they do just that in Japan so I couldn't see a reason why they shouldn't try here.

I believe there was some sort of Patent issue with them selling balls outside of Japan, this must have been resolved for them to launch one now I’m guessing?
 
In.

Anything to postpone the wife's 'Have you played with those Dunlop balls I got you for Christmas yet?' questions..

'Sorry dear, I'm testing these Mizzy balls for Golf Monthly'

:D

The box posted looks very "Pro-V1" so I wonder if there was anything similar to the ball construction as well...
