matchplay Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Can anyone tell me why there are not many mizuno or ping tour items available? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Probably because they don't make special items for the pros. Mizuno has always made good player's clubs. They've tried to make game improvement stuff to try and capitalize on their success with the pros, but haven't had very much success even if their blades are the most played on tour. Ping has a similar approach, but from the opposite side of the playing field. Ping's always been about game improvement but has had an long history of making game improvement equipment that even pros can have success with. Why mess with a good thing, right?

Precision Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Mizuno and Ping clubs from the tour van are hard to come by these days unless you know a tour rep or find one on Ebay. Closest to finding a Ping tour club would be through Ping WRX. As for Mizuno, maybe Nomad WRX can track one down for you. Here are the links...

FreeWorld Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I m sure that Tour Mizuno would be different compared to the retail counterpart. However I believe that the difference would be pretty minor, I guess all the clubs swingweight would be spot on and to the level desied by the pro who usually like playing with higher swingweigths. Finally I believe that some grinding could be done for some pros in oder for the club to fit there eye better or fit there swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that presonalization of forged irons is just part of the reason that pros play them. Miuno has a selection of head shapes and sizes that anyone can choose from. If further customization is required, cutting a different headshape or grinding a different sole profile or something of the sort is not that big a deal for Mizuno to perform for their staff pros. Bottom line is that most customization on Mizuno irons should be relatively minor and easily done to the production club (even easier for Mizuno since they forge their own club heads). In this case, it's not necessary to make one-offs for the pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
