Spotted: Mizuno’s new 2015 MP irons and wedges
Photos of Mizuno’s new line of MP forged irons and wedges have been unveiled to the public via Mizuno’s Facebook page for The Open Championship.
Mizuno didn’t reveal much about the new technology in its clubs, which look to be called the MP-15 (irons), MP-H5 (irons) and MP-T5 (wedges), so we’ll have to make our own assumptions for now.
MP-H5
MP-15
Judging from the photos, the MP-H5 irons will most likely replace the company’s MP-H4 irons, while the MP-15 will likely replace the MP-59 irons.
MP-T5
It’s pretty clear the MP-T5 wedges will be available with two different finishes, a black and a chrome.

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
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.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Mizuno makes the best irons in golf, hands down.

I will take miuras, honmas, yururia, fourteens, or the wilson 100 yr anniversary set before mizunos…
But mizuno does make a damn fine club.

Wedges look more like satin and black, not chrome
Rob Munro
Jul 17, 2014 at 8:17 am
Yep they look like mp59’s.
I’ll take my 64’s any day.
I also much prefer the MPR range of wedges.
Wait till 2016 I think.
Jeff Paul

They hardly look like the 59’s, LOL.

I don’t think there is any hate, just some suprise and a little disappointment
How could anyone hate any Mizzy iron? – just not possible

plenty of people on here hated the JPX EZ.

No hate has been expressed. We are all entranced by Mizuno wands. The MP 15’s have borrowed the diamond shape of the 64’s so presumably it is better. For me I’m stuck with the MP 68’s which are the prettiest blade ever made by anyone and I think the slight dish at the back renders it a bit more forgiving than the new MP 4 solid muscle back. Anyway I was looking for something along the lines of an MP64 but better looking; sorry to be shallow. Not finding it, I will stick to the MP 68’s. Who has a problem with blades? It’s all marketing hype about cavity backs I’m thinking. At what point does the club become unusable for mere mortals? Is the 8 considered usable? Yes. The 7, certainly. The 6 is easy. So it must be the very long ones which are so hard and not many carry the 3’s of any club anymore so where is the problem with blades. It is all hype.

Those wedges are awesome… definitely replacing my MP-T11s with them when they wear out. As for the 15 and H5, they might look a little flashy from the back, but as far as I know, Mizuno hasn’t made a bad iron yet, so we’ll have to see.
jgpl001
Jul 16, 2014 at 4:58 pm
The MP15 looks like a 2105 version of the MP59 – what are they meant to replace, the MP64?
That sole looks Ping G series wide – yikes!!!
The wedges look very good though
I will reserve judgement till I see them in the flesh, Mizuno haven’t made a bad iron yet….
Overall a little disappointed, my 714 mb’s still very safe in the bag
John
Jul 17, 2014 at 3:35 pm
i think the soles look wide because those all appear to be 2 irons or something close to it.

Jul 16, 2014 at 4:55 pm
Hmmmmmmmmm. Dunno about the 15. Why do they keep going down this road?

Jul 16, 2014 at 3:54 pm
what the heck is “Hitogami”? I’m sure it is really special whatever it is, but I could’ve done without the word plastered on the back of the iron. I’ve got too many things in my game already that are difficult to explain. Maybe it is Japanese for “go far long time”.
Rob
Jul 16, 2014 at 8:57 pm
I actually laughed out loud at “go far long time.” Well played.
OMG
Jul 16, 2014 at 9:41 pm
HITOGAMI means a human being who became a God. Like a Saint.
