Mizuno to offer custom grips at no additional charge
In 2014, Mizuno began offering steel shaft upgrades for no additional charge as part of its fitting program. On Friday, Mizuno announced that it will now offer custom grips at no up charge, as well.
The company recognizes that the grip is an important part of a properly fit golf club.
[quote_box_center]“There is no substitute for having the correct shafts and grips on a custom-set of irons, so we have empowered the customer to purchase with confidence the irons that are perfect for their individual Swing DNA by eliminating hidden costs on shafts or grips,” said Chuck Couch, Vice President of Product Development at Mizuno, in a press release.[/quote_box_center]

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
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.

Mizuno doesn’t carry CP2 grips, maybe your “excellent customer service of club” neglected to tell you that. Probably why you didn’t get the grips you want. In my experience when my customer orders a grip they don’t carry I default to their stock grip so I can install the ones they want myself.

I noticed the new JPXEZ irons had NDMC grips stock, a nice move I think.

Anyone know if you can order the stock Mizuno grips from Golf Pride? I love the grips my MP15s came with and want to put them on all 13 clubs when I regrip.

john,
do you have any AdBlock or that type of extension type stuff running? Because I can clearly see a whole list of shafts and grips right below the Specs.
