Posted May 12, 200915 yr comment_155649 Mizuno Japan recently released two sets of ultra rare wedges. The wedges are officially named "Jypers 2 letter press" featured in two grind variations. People are calling them 2 letter press silver stamp and gold stamp wedges. They are forged of S25C in Japan at Mizuno's Chuo factory.The silver stamp model features a triple flat sole and is based off of a prototype Model T series while the gold model features a special quad flat sole and is based off of a prototype R series wedge. Both models are finished using a flat black dye and share the new running bird emblem. The only other text besides that is on the neck where it says MIZUNO with no paintfill. They also use dots to signify loft. Both models have very sharp CNC Milled grooves. Sold as a 2 wedge set in a fancy box lined with velvet both the silver and gold stamps are only available in 52 & 58* lofts with Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Shafts and Tour Velvet Rubber Round 60's. For those who don't know R is for Round shape head and T is for Teardrop shape. These are already sold out but Tourspecgolfer was able to source 2 sets from Mizuno. One set of MP-R Prototypes and one set of MP-T Prototypes. If anyone is interested please let me know. Took some nice pics today to show you these beauties!
May 12, 200915 yr comment_155652 Very nice :) Looks like it's probably designed for the better golfers? What's the bounce on these wedges?
May 12, 200915 yr Author comment_155653 They are straight necked and based off the MP-R and MP-T and with grinds like that anyone can play them really due to their versatility. It is hard to measure bounce on soles with such complex multiple grinds but Mizuno measured the bounce at the highest point and that would be 6 for the 52* and 14 for the 58*.
