Jhonny Vegas brings Mizuno MP-18 irons to the Masters
It was only last weekend that photos of Mizuno’s MP-18 irons surfaced on the Internet, but Jhonny Vegas already has them in his bag at the 2017 Masters.
As we projected in our “spotted” story, the MP-18 irons are likely replacements for the company’s MP-4 and MP-5 muscleback irons, each of which are held in high regard among blade-iron enthusiasts.
Now, we can add Vegas to the list of PGA Tour players who aren’t under contract with Mizuno but are using Mizuno irons.
See what GolfWRX members are saying about Vegas’ clubs in our forums.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.
From the listing: “Some great items here today, time to thin out and make room for next set of gear. All prices include shipping.
LAB DF3 Purple 33.5” 68° lie with TPT – $725. LAB Masters release DF3 cover – $150.”

I’m liking the straight muscleback, will result in much greater consistency.

Why does the main iron in the pic appear to be blurred? Is it lead tape, reflection, or just blurred?

That running bird logo should be moved just slightly lower to make the look more balanced in my opinion. Too much empty space below it.

In the longer irons its more balanced as the head thin out..
