Those golfers who have criticised Nick Faldo over the years should get down on their hands and knees and prey they have half of his dedication and ability. He was my childhood hero and still watchable and fantastically interesting to listen to. Thank you for this short film.I currently play Taylormade r11's but will look at Mizuno next time.
Same here - I bought myself a set of Mizunos 25 years or so ago thanks to him. Sadly couldn't hit them half (10%?) as well as he could...in my head I had Faldo's swing. Loved watching him play
Always been a Nicky fan. Even though he wasn't a power hitter, and kind of "collected" the ball smoothly, he put up the numbers and was always in the hunt at the Masters in the late 80s - 90s. He got everything he could out of his game.
Agree, players like Westwood, Garcia and Poulter couldn’t hold a candle to him. Unfairly criticized for the Ryder Cup loss, but its the players that play. Both he and Tom Watson didn’t deserve that treatment.
Been a mizuno player for 12 years best irons ever, U.S. Open champ mizuno player, most Nike guys with no contracts play mizuno ( Casey, Vegaa, Koepka etc)
Wonderful interview, you can see the joy in his face and how can you not be after his career with Mizuno. 7 years ago I was custom fit for MP-58's with the shaft optimizer (DNA system) and can't wait to get custom fit for my MP-25's. Absolutely love Mizuno irons and also looking forward to getting fit for the JPX 900 hybrids, fairway metals and driver
Stephen DiBari hey Stephen, what clubs are you currently gaming now? I been doing my Mizuno research and noticed you in a lot of the comment sections, I just got fitted for the MP18 SC still waiting for them to arrive can’t wait!
Still have my TP-11's. I had to have them in 1996. Love them and still use them. I'm currently looking foe some mp-32 irons. But I'll never get rid of my 11's, my 2 iron original, my TP 3 one iron. Thanks mizuno and Nick for all your had work. Mizuno only for me everytim.
I first played the 7's. 11's and 29's because of Faldo. In the last 25 years I've had nothing but Mizuno's in my bag except for maybe a week and a half of trying something else for a few days before panicking until I got my blades back. Thanks Nick and welcome back!
Mizuno are still head and shoulders above the rest. I have tried many of different irons but always come back to Mizuno and I know l will but I am always willing to give other company's a chance.
They are the best irons period - IF they sponsored tour pros they'd be dominant on tour, but much like Wilson they make their money in other sports. I'll paraphrase the CEO of Mizuno "We do not sponsor players, to us the ultimate mark of quality is when players themselves choose our clubs". There is a huge reason why Mizuno has been the #1 club for unsponsored professionals for the past 30 years - no other manufacturer provides the same level of response or consistency, although I believe Titleist comes close..
Boy I used tp9s for years, fantastic irons. I could listen the faldo all day, he's just been on the radio on lockdown and his first thought was all the nhs and front line staff in this mess. I top bloke, great champion and very humble
Man, Nick Faldo is such a gentleman. I play Mizuno MP33s and they are exceptional irons. I switched from Titleist MBs and the Mizunos have a better feel off the clubhead face.
Still have my sets of MP-57s from 2008 and MP-4s from 2014. I will never sell my Mizunos. They've been written in my will to go to my niece and regular golfing partner of years.
He was the Bryson of his day, very technical. I think players have it so much easier today, because of computers being able to provide instant feedback. Back then it was more feel.
Used to play with the MP29s... couldn't hit them consistently good enough (my problem), and I practiced with them at the range till my left palm bled right through the glove. Ever since then, I played at single h/cap. They're the best irons: would give you that instant feedback if something was off in your swing, and give you that buttery feel when you pured it. I believe Faldo used the MP29s and Tiger started with MP14s before the big endorsements came rolling in.
Play the mp-15s, simply the best clubs on the planet-look amazing, forgiving for the odd off centre hit and the feel is the best out there. Plus if you record yourself hitting them the sound is so similar to the pros on the tv.
Going to be pedantic, sorry! the irons he alluded to with no markings, were not actually TP-9's. Admittedly the back of the clubhead did have the Gull-back just like the TP-9. But that is where the similarity ended, he let me look at them at Troon in '89. In fact that model was actually named the TP-P (Personal) and was exclusive to the Tour guys who had contracts with other marques, because of them just having the numbers on the heads and no other markings. Mizuno did this quite regularly for lots of players around this time.
So where is Turbo today? I hope Nick took good care of Turbo for all the work he did for him. He certainly contributed quite a bit to Sir Nick's stellar career.
Tp9's have to be one of the best looking and nicest feeling irons of all time.A mis hit on a winters morning however,was a different ball game.....shudder.
I wonder why he didn't like his Wilson clubs, because that was at the time the FG17's were out and everyone says how good they are. But even being sponsored by Wilson he still shunned the FG17's and snuck mizuno's in his bag. I would like to know what he didn't like about Wilson clubs?
@@mizunogolf1906 Domino, Faldo ID forged, TZoid T3, Pro II, MX200, MP59 MP18MMC. Woods Mizuno Monster, TZoid T3, MX560, MX700, JPX800, EZ2016, ST190. Putter Domino 8811 just replaced with vintage TP-P9002 and I just bought a Domino 1 iron for fun with. I think the T3 irons went the furthest and easiest to hit. T3 woods I could hit a little fade all day long. ST190 straightest driver I have ever hit. ST190 fairways the equal of the T Zoid fairways but not as high flight. EZ2016 biggest carry but span up. Favourite club Faldo ID forged 2 iron. Domino putter great on fast greens but not on slow or seeding greens. Best feeling in the world MP59. If I could pick anything to fill my bag with right now I would pick a modern full sized 450cc T Zoid T3 and the old deep faced fairways and a set of T3 irons and give up the feel of forged clubs. And I love forged clubs so much.
Great video Nick, I used Mizuno TP9s back in the 90s, great irons. Do you know what irons Seve had in his bag, I know you two were friends, I heard they were Mizuno TP Originals, he seemed to have so many different club sponsors depending on where he was playing in the world.
Used TP9 irons back in the day…was off 4 then…great clubs but had to be hit pure like most blades or they didn’t go anywhere….now off 10 in my 60s using Callaway clubs.
Hi Mizuno, what was the reason behind Sir Nick moving from the TN-87's from the '90/'91 season to the Tp-19's in 1992? Was Sir Nick behind their development? The Tn-87's are considered by some to be the greatest blades Mizuno have ever produced. I'd love to hear the story.
How come Nobody mentions the facts that Tiger Woods Played Mizunos all that time , and when he turned Pro he had Nike Delete the Mizuno logo from his clubs and stamp the Nike logos on them . . . Probably still the same today , because Nike don't make golf clubs ;-)
Wow ! fantastic swing!! Great golf player and coach for me. Greatest clubs "Mizuno forged irons" Used Nakajima 、faldo、tiger、 luke and me www. This is Legend This is The legacy I'll play golf someday?? Will Faldoさん play in Japan senior tour Someday??? I'll go there
Lets face it, the Japanese have centuries of forging experience. They treated these clubs as the modern day samurai sword. They believed that these swords had a soul. That is why I play Mizunos.

Faldo is the man. Pre set drill is awesome. His book A Swing For Life is a must have.

Sir Nick is still the most interesting personality in golf......period!
Lovely story Nick, I really enjoyed watching it
Fully agree with Sir Nick. Best irons I have ever played.

Wow !!! I've always wanted to hear this story. This is Gold !!! I'm all over the Miz MP5's gonna get a set.

This is clever, coz people didnt know when Sir Nick joined Mizuno, wayyyyy back
Still have my sets of MP-57s from 2008 and MP-4s from 2014. I will never sell my Mizunos. They've been written in my will to go to my niece and regular golfing partner of years.
I've played Mizuno MP29s, MP-14s, Mp-33s ... until I tried the TN-87s.
The TN-87s are beyond compare, it's like hitting marsh mellows!
He was the Bryson of his day, very technical. I think players have it so much easier today, because of computers being able to provide instant feedback. Back then it was more feel.

best British golfer of all time ....
Sold a many club Sir. Fantastic weapon Thank you.
Ordered my jpx919 forged today....just watching all the mizuno vlogs as I can't wait to open that box!!!
Run out of videos yet? Hope the wait isn't too painful.
Man I miss Faldo and Nance on Sunday's.
Play the mp-15s, simply the best clubs on the planet-look amazing, forgiving for the odd off centre hit and the feel is the best out there. Plus if you record yourself hitting them the sound is so similar to the pros on the tv.
Mizuno-Best irons on earth.
If you watch old videos you can see his TP9 irons in his Wilson golf bag lol
...told my mates that for years, they just said “nah, they’re Wilson FG 49s”.
Going to be pedantic, sorry! the irons he alluded to with no markings, were not actually TP-9's. Admittedly the back of the clubhead did have the Gull-back just like the TP-9.

Tommy H Turbo is still with mizuno

spocktra50
Used to have a TP9 2-iron.
Erm, Titleist 910 hybrid now.
I had the 11's still have my Tp-11 1 iron. I currently have the Mp-33's, they are a nice shape IMO.
You're not kidding there ha had tp9s from 93 to recently.... Still got them but the groves have gone.... Best ever irons I ever used
Playing MS Pro1 2-sw and loving them. Great fun.

Have played Mizuno from putter to Driver for 29 years. Would never look at anything else.
Thanks Simon.

We'll have you back. Try the 923 Forged or Mizuno Pro 225 and have the best of both worlds. Still Forged in the same factory that made your TP-9s.

great story. they don't make em like that anymore! (applies to the whole industry)
Good dedication nick😃😃😎

My first half set of clubs were Mizuno Impacts... Then I went to the TPZ ☺️..... 'To me, nothing feels like Miz-No' 😜
Japanese made the samurai sword, have always made the best blades.
Wow ! fantastic swing!!
Great golf player and coach for me.
Greatest clubs "Mizuno forged irons"
Used Nakajima 、faldo、tiger、 luke and me www.
This is Legend
This is The legacy
I'll play golf someday??
Will Faldoさん play in Japan senior tour Someday???
I'll go there
Sounds like Faldo really believes that he had a technological leg up with Mizuno and the they went a long way towards his success as a player
Lets face it, the Japanese have centuries of forging experience. They treated these clubs as the modern day samurai sword. They believed that these swords had a soul.
That is why I play Mizunos.
Nick seems like a really strange individual. Love Mizuno irons though. Best forgings in the game.
Standard people don't tend to win 6 majors. Takes a unique mindset.
Strange comment??
Like Sir Nick, sorry a bit of a boring story Sir Nick.
