Mizuno 2011 Line-Up

Published

16 years ago

Sep 8, 2010

The new line-up from Mizuno sees 2 new wedges, 2 new putters and no less than 4 new irons. The irons are probably the pick of the 2011 line-up with the JPX lines replacing the higher end game improvement MX range along with 2 updated MP range irons. As always, the irons are “Condition of Competition” conforming but the new wedges are the first from Mizuno to conform to the new regulations.

All this hardware is accompanied with many updates of the Mizuno apparel, shoes and accessories including some very funky limited edition golf bags.

JPX 800

The JPX 800 sees Mizuno bring the JPX exotic technology that has been such a success in Japan. The addition of Hot Metal technology has produced their most forgiving (highgest MOI) and longest hitting (highest COR) iron ever.

JPX 800 Pro

The JPX technology combined with Mizuno’s reknown “Grain Flow” forging offer serious golfers a club that has the feel you expect of a Mizuno with the distance and forgiveness of high tech.

MP-53

The MP-53 introduces the diamond muscle into the MP player’s range. Aimed at doing everything the previous generation MP-52 and MX-300 did so well, and doing it just a little better. The largest MOI of any MP iron, the MP-53 looks to combine the forgiveness of a big iron into the playability of a more appealing head shape.

MP-63

The evolution of the Tour favourite MP-62, the diamond muscle adds even more stability. The MP-63 adds a 360 degree grind for a thinner top line and “reverse flow” throughout the set where the long irons are larger than the compact shorter irons.

MP-T11 Wedges

Following on from the superb MP-T10, the MP-T11 have the new conforming grooves as well as face milling. There are two groove configurations: the 50 to 54 degree wedges have grooves suitable for full shots where the ball is compressed while the 56 to 64 have a wider shallower groove to maximise spin rates on shorter shorts. Available in either Black-Ni or two tone satin and chrome.

JPX Wedge

Designed to fill out any JPX iron set, the JPX wedges offer an easier transition from a cavity PW but still with the versatile triple cut sole seen on the MP range wedges.

MP T Series Putters

Three classic headshapes see Mizuno re-enter the putter market. Formed from a single billet of 1025E carbon steel for feel and then CNC milled for precision, face scoring is introduced for a consistent roll.

Line 90 Series Putters

Named after the alignment markings which are at 90 degrees to the face, the alignment aids have been designed to make it even easier to line up the putter. With a heavier swing weight, a thicker grip and shorter than standard shafts, the Line 90 was designed by the R&D guys at Mizuno for the R&D guys rather than for the Tour players

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
