Mizuno has a bunch of new stuff coming out this fall and among our most favorite clubs are the new MP-58 irons.

How sweet are those? Grain-Flow Forged (a fancy term for a very concise and pure forging), and with a unique titanium-filled muscle section, the MP-58s are built for players who want the best blend of forgiveness and shotmaking capabilities.

Why titanium? It's lighter, meaning the club can get away with more mass behind the ball for a soft, buttery feel. Also, the lightweight nature of the titanium means the perimeter weighting gets magnified (as well as the MOI), making each iron much more forgiving than they would be with no insert.

Other features include a rolled leading edge/flat sole/rolled trailing edge design (for better versatility on tough lies) and modified U-grooves that conform to 2010 USGA rules.

Look for these irons to hit golf shops this fall, and look for the complete Mizuno round-up in the next issue of Golf Tips.

Is it getting hot in here?

Aldila's En Fuego™ Series features three innovative shaft designs each with a higher center of gravity geared toward today's modern club head designs. Each shaft in the series promotes a different ball flight, Serrano™ - a low to mid launch shaft, Wasabi™ - a mid launch shaft and Habanero™ - a mid to high launch shaft. Each model will be available in Regular, Stiff and X-stiff flexes.

"The three unique new shaft designs feature balance, weight, torque and flex properties which are all designed to maximize the energy of your swing," said Mike Rossi, Aldila's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The innovative high center of gravity of each shaft increases the performance of today's modern clubs."

Each En Fuego™ shaft will feature Aldila's revolutionary Micro Laminate Technology®, first offered in the Aldila NV™, which provides players enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel. The dampening advantages of the Micro Laminate Technology have eliminated distracting and destructive "shock" for superior feel and playability.

"Aldila's En Fuego™ Series is currently being launched through leading club manufacturers in new product launches worldwide," said Rossi.
Each model in the En Fuego™ Series has a suggested retail price of $99 and will be available for purchase through leading distributors and through the Aldila store at www.aldilastore.com.

Penta, as in pentagon, as in five, get it?

We get it, but don't ask us how they did it. The folks at TaylorMade, under the watchful eye of Dean Snell and his beautiful mind, conjured up the first 5-piece golf ball.

Yeah, not one, two or even four layers. We're talkin' 5!

On the surface, its a urethane-covered ball with multiple layers that depending on how hard you swing, performs differently with the different clubs in the bag. TaylorMade claims that even the best players in the world playing the so-called best balls available have still had to make compromises, either for more distance and less spin, or more spin and less distance, more feel vs. less feel and so on. The Penta is said to be the most complete ball ever and with it's five layers, means no more having to choose one performance benefit over another.

It also means no more having to choose one premium performance ball over another from TaylorMade. Unlike past tour-inspired models lie the TP Red and TP Black, there is only one ball to choose from. Ahhh...thank you, TaylorMade.

Look for it this fall at a retailer near you.
