 Right, good morning and welcome back to Diablo TV. Thank you for joining the average golfer. I'm down here at Four Golf Chester. The sign behind me says Mizzuno. So there's the clue. It's the 9-1-9 morning. I'm about a week behind. I was away last week when these samples came into Four Golf but we're about to get stuck into. I'm gonna start with the hot metal. Now the hot metal is the game improver set. I suppose you would call it in amongst this 9-1-9 range from Mizzuno. So as we would expect, maybe a little bit chunkier, maybe a bit stronger lofted, all those things that we come to associate with game improvement irons. But the first thing I've got to say about the Mizzuno hot metal is that it is probably the best looking game improvement iron out there on the market right now. It is absolutely stunning to look at as you can see from the images in front of you now. Yes, it has got that thick top line. It's not huge in terms of appearance from above. It's got a dress behind the golf ball and again on the sole of the club what they've done is done this sort of two-tone pattern where visually when you first look at it from underneath there's a matte satin finish and then a high chrome finish as it leads off and again gives you that visual perception at least of it being a little bit smaller but it's high chrome with a sort of matte satin finish and I think you've got to agree it looks absolutely stunning on the eye. But the key thing is how does it perform? With all these game improvement irons generally the thing that we're looking at is powerful performance which is often related to the 30 degrees with a lost and the stronger lost it. This is a seven iron we're testing this morning but there's often a drop off and a compromise in the spin number. Not something that I've always believed in and seen when I've got there out on the course but for this morning it's dry ball data and we're going to see how this thing performs in particularly in those two things because what Masuno are claiming is that they've got nice and powerful ball flight without it being bullet like nice descent angle which is going to that coupled with the spin that you're going to achieve is going to do more than enough to get these balls stopping on greens but for now it's dry ball data switch camera, get in some golf balls and I'll give you my feedback. Right so as I will start off with how this thing looks at a dress and as I've just mentioned I love that thick top line is visible. Ball or club behind ball, it's doable. It's acceptable on my eye to someone who prefers that sort of smaller profile but I can still get away with this let's say. Very minimal offset, 30 degrees worth of loft. There's not a great deal more to say. I'm going to be using my Dynamic Gold S300 shaft in this same as using all my irons. So as I say, no more to be said let's just hit some golf balls I think and have a look at this data let's see if we can get that ball up and out there and with a spin number on it and as you know I've done what they claim. So as ever Taylor made TP5 balls for everything that we test here so we've got some consistency with the numbers. I mean the big thing that you're looking at at the first thing that throws into mind is how does these kind of clubs feel? What is the difference between this and when we get to the Forge Club later on? When we look at these, the Forge and the Tour and straight away, I mean I tested the original hot metal which was what a couple of years ago was it? And to me, I mean without literally putting the club back in their hands again, it's got similar feel. It's very, very good for this type of club but it's a long way from being a Forge Club. Obviously I suppose. First three balls kind of hit, nice ball flight. You can tell this is 30 degrees worth a loft in terms of a seven. I envision where this ball is sort of ending up and going to but I think the best thing for me to do is hit some more golf balls and then we'll look at some data for my analysis on this one. So a few more shots, then time for a sit down and we'll discuss those numbers. Okay, so back in the office, moved away from four golf, little time to digest the numbers and just have a little think about how that club performed. And for me, hot metal pretty much, let's strip this down to an assessment in terms of what this club does and delivers. It looks very, very good indeed as I've already said for a game improvement club. Its sound feel is what I would consider as to be good without being my choice in terms of sound and feel for a golf club, for a set of irons. And it delivers in terms of numbers. And let's have a look at the numbers that I achieved over 10 shots here. So here's the data up on screen now. We'll have a little chat through this. First of all, because I'm going to continue to do, I reviewed three clubs this morning all from the 9-1-9 range and it's pretty much straightforward in terms of the differences between the three clubs. So low on channel 18.6, spin at 5,000 just over and we'll come back to that shortly, carry distance of 163 and peeking out at around 30 yards that is in terms of height, achieving ball speeds of on average 114. The number that I said we come back to is the spin number. It's basically a powerful 7-9 at 160 carry without being a mega powerful 7-9. And again, we go back to this 30 degrees worth of loft. The spin they've achieved, however, is very, very good. And again, you have to put into perspective whose dance this is in. And I talk about this quite a lot is my spin number low has gotten a little bit higher with slight changes I've made in my own personal swing. 5,000 spin with a 30 degree 7-9 is a very, very good number. And that coupled with a steep descent angle, 5,000 spin. There's no issues for me with average golfers using this club and expecting it to stay and stick and hold onto greens, but I'm not gonna go into that one right now. So the thing is for me, and it does exactly what I expected it to do and it doesn't do anything different than that, I'm afraid. The only thing that may be slightly different for me from the first test that I did on these clubs two years ago in the hot metal in particular, is the improvement in the spin number. And I think that's something obviously they've set out to do at the outset. And that's it. I mean, I can go on and waffle on about these clubs all day long, but this is a very quick first look. I will get these out on the course and we'll also do some head-to-head in the game improvement things, but as a first look, I think I've already evaluated what I think in terms of the looks, in terms of the feel, and now you've seen performance. It sort of, it ticks a lot of boxes it's a very, very good game improvement iron that also delivers on performance and that's my overall finishing statements.
