Technology
About the Mizuno MP-20 HMB
The Mizuno MP-20 HMB features a hollow or semi-hollow construction that allows for a thinner, faster face and lower CG while preserving a players' address profile. Technology from the game-improvement category meets the aesthetic of players' irons. At impact it delivers energetic and direct, with a firmer feel typical of hollow-body constructions, often dampened with internal foam or polymer.
Loft Analysis
The Mizuno MP-20 HMB's 7-iron is lofted at 32.5° - traditional - aligned with classic iron loft standards. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 141-151 yards. The 5-iron (25°) to 7-iron gap of 7.5° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 45° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
