Introducing Sumo irons

Nike Sumo iron

Using the technology behind the Sasquatch Sumo2 square driver and Sumo traditionally-styled clubhead , Nike Golf is set to introduce Sumo irons.

Power Bow weighting and a higher MOI (Moment of Inertia) to keep the clubhead square at impact will combine to hit the ball straight and long, says Nike.

An improved launch and more stability, combined with a longer blade length and wider sole, will add softer landing and more forgiveness, says Nike.

Early reports of the new clubs reveal that an ultra thin face plate (in the 4- to 7-irons) add distance to easier hitting, while a polymer insert reduces vibration to improve feel.

November 1, has been set for their introduction to the US, with a $799 and $999 price tag for steel and graphite shafts respectively. Expect them in Europe soon afterwards, though price conversion has yet to be released.

Mizuno MP-57 iron

The MP-57s are the latest in the Mizuno evolution of combining grain flow forging with cut muscle to deliver Mizuno's largest sweet area among its MP family of irons, together with a higher ball flight in the long irons and a mid-trajectory in the scoring irons.

Sets are understood to offer 3- to 9-iron plus a 47-degree pitching wedge and four steel shaft options.

Mizuno MX950 irons/hybrids

Early reports say the irons with a steel or graphite shaft option in right hand only, are 'ideal for the mid to high handicap player looking for ease of launch, forgiveness and maximum game improvement.'

Maintaining the iron/hybrid theme, look out for Adams Golf, introducing its IDEA a3OS clubs into Europe - this time with six hybrids and two cavity-back short irons.
