Mizuno had quite a showing with new JPX models, more custom grind options, and new staff bags. 2005 was a huge success for their new Cross 8 ball in the Japanese market. The ball completely sold out after initial views were written. The New JPX line somewhat reminds me of the older power blades, very forgiving good player irons. The custom grind MP60s are now available, and also very good news that the custom MP60s are now available for leftys.

Cross8 was a major disappointment for me. Is the wight on the MP003 changeable?

I agree! Is the JPX line an upscale line of clubs (like the Mp-32, MP-37, etc.) for "playas", or is it intended as a middle/high handicap line? Just curious.

One piece wrap-around face for the driver similar to MacGregor. Is this a new trend for high-end drivers?

Well saved the best for last. Chris, please provide some more information on those JPX fairway woods.

Personal opinion of course, but gotta say that is the best looking fairway wood I've seen in a long time, not withstanding a number of other very good ones available through the site.

Is this the one, Plus 1 is using??

Also notice there are no photos of girls on this stand.........maybe the product is good enough not to need them!

Quite frankly, Mizuno rocks!! :tsg_smilie_cool: :tsg_smilie_cool:

I love Mizuno products but I can't quite understand why these exotic line-ups aren't offered in the mainstream U.S. marketplace. I understand that the average American consumer is not willing to invest in technology like his Japanese counterpart but that doesn't account for everyone like us! Aren't we a global marketplace now??? I realize that we can buy from Chris and that's awesome but it sucks that I can't receive the white glove treatment (i.e. fitting, launch monitors, etc.) which the high dollar spend should intitle me too! Why wouldn't Companies like Mizuno and Bridgestone take advantage of their deep bags and the hugh American market by scheduling a few select demo days in each marketplace and offer the good stuff. Show it and we will come...

I second that! You let people see the quality and hit it for themselves, I think that the high dollar equipment would sell. They would need to prove that the extra technology works and is needed, but I don't think they would be wasting their time by putting in some demo days. One or two in each state; try it for a year and see what happens.

Personally, if I could get my hands on it, I would have a much easier time forking over the big bucks. :tsg_smilie_money3:
