Mizuno USA Boosts Golfers Shotmaking Capabilities With The New “Pure Muscle” MP-4 Iron
The “pure muscle” design of the MP-4 iron is a perfectly balanced geometric design that keeps the thickness behind impact to deliver a crisp, solid feel. The high-quality 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel and Mizuno’s patented Grain Flow Forging process combined further enhance the iconic Mizuno feel that is a shotmaker’s dream.
“The MP-4 is a pure ‘players iron’ that is expected from Mizuno with a few surprises,” said Chuck Couch, VP of Product Management, Golf Division. “Simple, smart shifts in design and the muscle bulge provides golfers ultimate control of their ball flight while offering an extremely ‘pure’ feel at impact as any iron we’ve developed. If you’re in the game of shotmaking, the MP-4 irons are the right irons for you.”
Incorporated in the new “pure” design are proven Mizuno technologies:
– H.I.T. (Harmonic Impact Technology) for precise control of vibration frequencies at the point of impact
– VMT (Variable Muscle Thickness) measured to create a consistent height in the sweetspot for easier workability in the short irons and optimal launch trajectory in the long irons.
– Tour-proven sole design, also featured in past models, offers subtle relief areas with a rounded leading edge and cambered trailing edge to ensure perfect turf interaction.
A double-nickel chrome plating underscored by an assertive Mizuno “Run Bird” in the center of the muscle pad, provides an elegant and durable finish
“We dissected the MP-4 iron like the MP-4 player dissects the game,” said Couch. “The insights we uncovered delivered an unmatched better player’s tool and ultimately resulted in an iron that will knock down flags.”

Matrix Shafts Introduces The New OZIK Altus MFS Series
|
Anaheim,CA-In January, Matrix Shafts brought to the market the Matrix Flight System, a fitting solution for wood shafts created to simplify the fitting process for tour players, club builders and tour reps alike. Representing the three different launch profiles-low, mid and high- the Matrix Flight System consists of the OZIK M3 Black Tie, the OZIK Q3 Red Tie, and the OZIK X3 White Tie.
This concept was so widely accepted from dealers and players all over the world, that Matrix didn’t want to stop with just the woods. Expanding from the multiple major winning OZIK Altus series, the Matrix R&D team, led by Chief Designer Daniel You, created the OZIK Altus MFS Series.
The OZIK Altus MFS Series mirrors the same launch profiles of the MFS wood line, and consists of the low-launching, low-spinning OZIK HM3 Altus, the mid-launching, mid-spinning OZIK HQ3 Altus, and the high-launching, low-spinning OZIK HX3 Altus. The line also cosmetically mirrors the Matrix Flight System woods, represented with the same black, red and white base coats.
“The OZIK Altus is a shaft that players are turning to in their hybrids week after week,” said Director of Tour Operations, Joe Miera. “On the PGA Tour it was the most used hybrid model in 2011, 2012 and up to this date in the current 2013 season, which says a lot about its quality and reputation. The new Altus MFS Series now provides us with an Altus series shaft that can fit every player in the bell curve.”
The X3 Altus made its PGA Tour debut last week at The Barclays, with the Q3 Altus set to make its PGA Tour debut in the 2014 season. The Altus MFS Series shafts are currently stocked in a number of hybrid clubs, including Adams IDEA Super DHY. For purchasing info, contact an Authorized Matrix Dealer or a Certified OZIK Fitting Specialist near you.

Fister Golf Announces “Try It Before You Buy It” Consumer Demo Program
According to Sean Fister, President/CEO of Fister Golf, “The biggest challenge for emerging golf companies is getting their product in the hands of golfers. We feel that this new demo program should help Fister Golf alleviate that issue, as we’re willing to ship a driver to consumers just so they can experience the unparalleled performance of the Model I. It has been our experience that when golfers hit the Model I, they buy it. So we’re willing to go the extra mile to get the club in golfers’ hands.”
In addition to the “Try It Before You Buy It Demo Program,” Fister Golf also has introduced a 30-day money-back guarantee for any consumer who wishes to purchase a brand new Model I driver outright, rather than signing up for the demo program. Program details can be found at http://www.fistergolf.com/#!30-day-guarantee/c2wz.
