“Hot Metal has become a monster,” says Mizuno’s Chris Voshall, Mizuno USA Golf Product and Marketing Manager.
It’s hard to overstate what the introduction of the Hot Metal franchise has meant to Mizuno but to put things in perspective, it’s worth stepping back in time.
For all its prowess in the player’s iron category, there was a good run where Mizuno wasn’t considered a serious player in game-improvement space.
Exhibit A
That might be my earliest digression ever.
Range balls for a bucket are $15, if not more expensive.
You want to be able to judge your distances and trust the distances you’re going to take from the range to the course. If you have a bald golf ball, you’re going to see up to 20, maybe even more yards difference. Not only distance wise, but left to right wise, right? You just got a new set of irons, you take them in the range, you hit a 155, you go take it out to the course, you have 155 to the pin, there’s water over the pin.
You hit it the same way, and you hit it 175, and you’re in the drink. If I pay $30 for a bucket, I expect something better than, bald golf balls.
It’s not even an equivalent to what a real golf ball is and how it performs.
We tested brand new range balls in our Ball Lab, and the results are compelling.
The new Nippon N.S. Pro 750GH neo steel shaft is like Goldilocks’ porridge. If you find the Nippon 750GH shaft too firm and the Nippon Zelos 7 shaft too soft, you’ll find the 750GH neo juuuust right.
Let’s be clear. We’re talking about really light steel shafts here, and light is right in the Nippon Shaft wheelhouse. The N.S. Pro 750GH neo is the newest and lightest addition to the neo family of Nippon shafts. According to Nippon, it’s a dual-purpose shaft.
First, it’s designed specifically for slow swingers who crave the lightness of graphite but prefer the feel of steel. Second, and most importantly, it’s designed specifically to optimize performance for slow swingers who game strong-lofted game-improvement or player’s distance irons.
Yeah, it’s a niche offering. However, given the growing number of women golfers and the aging golfing population overall, it’s a sizable niche.
Let’s dig in.
