Covid-19 may have put any purchasing ideas you had in March on hold. Now, it’s game on, and time to reassess your equipment needs. So, we’ve compiled the “Best in Show” from ClubTest 2020 to give you a refresher. These clubs are bold and beautiful, like the game itself. In this edition, we highlightMizuno’s MP-20 iron family.
An iron inspired by Mizuno’s iconic TN87 from the 1980s is always going to get gearheads excited. The traditional blade is highlighted by an underlay of copper concealed by nickel-chrome plating. The end result? An insanely soft feel that’s sure to bring back some good memories.
The cavity-back offering in Mizuno’s MP-20 line is a target for low- to mid-handicappers who might want a higher launch and more distance (courtesy of tungsten sole weights) in the long irons, and a lower trajectory and control in the short irons. A titanium muscle plate and copper underlay ensure you’ll never complain about feel.
If the traditional MP-20 is a bit outside your ability range, consider the hollow-bodied HMB. Internal tungsten weights in the heel and toe increase forgiveness and lower the CG. A layer of copper is also positioned under the face to enhance feel and feedback.
