Mizuno announce Boron infused forging process.

Fairways and hybrids look interesting in the sole design. Driver looks good, Feb '15 launch?

Oooh, I am thinking of changing my JPX 800's this year but may wait until these come out before getting a fitting

I like the look of the irons

Since I bought my JPX825 Pro irons, I've been hoping that Mizuno would bring out a new driver and this fits the bill. Next year when it launches is around my birthday, so I'll be saving from now till then. I really hope that it performs (in my hands) as good as it looks.

Though Titleist have their new 915 range out as well, fairly soon, so I could be torn, but I really would like an all Mizuno bag.

bloody Feb, i can't wait that long!

the driver looks very nice, wonder what shaft options they will have?

looks erm similar to previous- cant stand Chris Voshal presentation though

I am assuming boron is more expensive than steel = no tah

 

[SAPCOR1]

Will they featuring in your bag then Greig?

The irons look lovely, but not nice enough to sway me away from my JPX 825 Pros just yet.

Must say they all look rather nice.

This seems to be the way with Mizuno driver releases. The EZ was announced late in the summer of 2013, but was not released in the UK until February 2014.

Have seen a comment from Mizuno that there will be a limited release of 500 of the JPX850's across Europe in November. I know Mizuno have had limited success in competing with other manufacturers for sales of drivers/woods, but I do wonder if this strategy of having a delayed release will do anything to help.

I think I may have a swish with the driver. Not a dead cert as just got the EZ not long a go.
The EZ irons won't be leaving my bag for a long while.

BUT... I do like the look of those fairways.

Patrick, my understanding is that Mizuno will continue the partnership with Fujikura for the Orochi shaft.
That has the obvious caveat that now til Feb is a long time for a lot to change

I take it you mean the irons? Because the woods couldn't be any more different to anything Mizuno have produced.
Blue paint finish is the future. Could only be sexier if they did the crowns in a matt blue like the black of the EZ.

Depends on which incarnation of Oriochi you tried. Since the first one (red-eyes) they have moved it on to the blue and now orange. The orange is one of the best I have seen in a Mizuno wood since the Fubuki.

I notice the current range comes with a few different shaft upgrades so you never know.

I saw these, the new MP H5s and a set of new blades that I didn't really look at a couple of weeks ago. As soon as the fitting kit is ready, one of these will be mine! Of course, they will make me play much better - hoping it is before Help 4 Heroes

What are you going to opt for from the range? I keep saying no new driver but that does look bloody good.

 

[freddielong]

I am gonna have to get me one of those
