KM-92 irons - a Mizuno story

The soles have a sharper leading edge, minimal camber, more bounce, and more effective bounce due to a slightly wider sole, therefore creating a “fast in, fast out” turf interaction. This goes back to the original clubs I grew up playing with… which may or may not have been inspired by the MP-14’s and MP-29’s 😜

Lucas Glover Lab Putter

Lucas is as pure as anyone tee to green. That's why he's had four top-6 finishes in his last five events since he switched. The rest of his game is elite. ⁣

We've been saying, "You're a better putter than you think." That's true for Lucas and so many others. Just at the #WyndhamChampionship, we had four players using our putter in the top-7. ⁣

To Broom or not to Broom, that is the question!
