ramizuno13 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 LOL on the discounts! I agree with you both. I see a big problem with golfers messing the the weights so much, they start getting it all wrong and do more harm than good. If I had my way, Miz would introduce a "300s2" 460 c.c. driver with a deep face. This is of course only a pipe dream. ANd bring back the "Tour Spirit" shaft. Just my 2 cents.

I agree, Mizuno just hasnt had a sensational driver for a while. even back in the 300S days those were not the most forgiving yet very rewarding at impact. I actually like the new Quad shafts more than the ol tour spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramizuno13 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 What happened to the MP-003 discussion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 First, thanks to all for a highly informative source of golf information. I hit the MP oo3 9.5 in Shanghai this afternoon with a Fujikura stiff shaft . I did not hit more than 30 balls and only had my own 9.5 R7 400cc for comparison. The MP oo3 face seemed less lively than the R7's but I was hitting crapped out range balls and the difference was marginal. The Mizuno was, however, decidedly more solid and less tinny and I preferred the "feel" over both the R7 and the MX500 I hit a couple of weeks ago. Ball flight trajectory was lower but carry was similar and roll slightly longer. Best of all, in my opinion, was the workability. Fades and draws were easily callable in the same way as my 905T which has an Aldila 75S shaft. In summary, after a very short test session, I would say it's a firm, controllable, confidence enhancing head that I would be happy to consider. But, being an Aldila fan, I would reshaft, hit with pro1vs and see how it compared to the Titleist before making a decision to buy. And the rep told me the screws were most definitely fixed. Hope that helps. Milo. P.S. Does anyone know how I can get some custom Titleist 695MBs made and delivered to China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either tthat or I'm losing my job to Double AA. The samples we have have moveable wieghts. I don't know. Maybe different version for US market or still in proto stages here.

ramizuno13 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Have you found a new job yet? LOL. Don't need to. The fixed weight version is for outside the US. The movable weights we saw here is scratched. We are not going to get either type. We got hosed for a new driver this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Maybe not too big a loss. When I hit the MP003 it did not feel particularly spectacular. They might have received similar feedback from others. Best wishes, Milo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
