Mizuno just held the Finals of a National 2man Scramble Tournament here in the Philippines. The Asia Manager was there. A buddy struck up a conversation and squeezed out that a new iron is to be released in late August. In between the MP27 and MP60...a MP57.

I wasn't there at the time. I was in HK Disney and having a nice father's day weekend with the wife and kids.
I wish I was there though for at least the sale. They were selling most of everything at 30%off. Imagine MP60s with stock NS Pro 1050s at a great price. |

August is just around the corner, Some one must have more info! 2 months from introduction and no one has secret pics (IMG:http://www.tourspecgolf.com/forum/style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/atsg_smilie_roll.gif) I can't even imagine what shape falls between the 60 & 27 (IMG:http://www.tourspecgolf.com/forum/style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/tsg_smiley_crazy.gif) Kent |

I'm betting it is basically the MP27 with cut muscle technology. They really are pushing the "cut muscle".

My country dealer has pics on his camera phone. They are being forwarded to me. I have been told that I am correct. Basically MP27s with cut muscle.
I have been sworn to secrecy and cannot show the pics otherwise I cannot get the pre order discount pricing. The Japan market dealers will get samples in late August and a formal launch is set in late September. New driver as well. Movable, but not detachable weighting. I'm sure Chris with his contacts in Miz can get more info without getting on a bad side like me. This post has been edited by xxio: Jun 19 2007, 05:41 AM |

So are these simply going to have a deeper cavity compared to the MP60 and the weightshelf of the MP27s spread almost uniformly in the cavity back?

Hey XXIO,
Many shops in Japan have had this brochure for a couple weeks, I will have a clear version as soon as i am mailed the brochure and scan it. We can remove these pics if you want but people can check them out via google and WRX anyway sir. Let me know. Whatever the case these do look very good, much better than the MP-27 IMO. |

Also guys I will be posting small pics of the Mizuno MP-60 Hokkaido Edition Iron. Looks unreal has the outline of Hokkaido on the toe and a very sharp angle sole grind for hard turf conditions.

QUOTE (xxio @ Jun 28 2007, 07:59 AM) I talked to the guy he seems fine with it. The site (where the pics were lifted) is small enough I guess. We won't get into trouble now that the brochures have officially been released as well. The WRX pics seem to be the same pics. Can I ask Goshinboku to credit the site where he got them, if he did indeed get them from my friend's site. hey man i know the site you are referring to. they are in fact the pics of mb |
