New Mizuno blades, Scotty Cameron putters, TaylorMade driving irons and more
If you're a gearhead, it's Christmas in July. In just the last week, we've seen a cascade of new iron releases from some of the biggest names in golf.
On Monday, Mizuno unveiled the Mizuno Pro S-1, a beautifully clean muscleback blade designed for elite ball strikers. It joins a crowded party: Ping's new i240 irons, Titleist's latest T-Series lineup (T100, T150, T250, T350), and the newest Callaway X Forged irons and Apex Ai 150. And that's not even counting Callaway's eye-catching Ti Fusion and the high-MOI Ti Fusion 250, which is designed to boost distance and forgiveness.
If that feels like a lot, it is. But there's a good reason manufacturers are flooding the zone right now: This is the heart of fitting season for serious golfers. If you want new irons in your bag this summer, now's the time to get fit, test options, and dial in your specs.
We've got the full breakdowns, tech details, and insights to help you make sense of it all. Whether you're looking for blades, cavity-backs, better-player distance irons or game-improvement designs, there's something new arriving in stores for just about every type of player.

Brunno Ferreira hopes he proved he's 'not just some knockout artist' at UFC 318
Brunno Ferreira wanted to show he's dangerous in all areas. NEW ORLEANS – Some might say a win is a win, but that's not how Brunno Ferreira operates. The Brazilian middleweight wanted more than getting his hand raised Saturday at UFC 318. Ferreira (14-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was determined to show he's dangerous beyond his striking and did so when he spoiled the debut of Jackson McVey. Ferreira submitted McVey (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with an armbar in the first round of their contest. "I think people saw today that I'm not just some knockout artist," Ferreira told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. "I'm a finisher, as well. There are two very interesting fights in the division. I think it's just fair and valid for me to pay attention to these fights and perhaps wait for one of those winners (at UFC 318)." The other middleweight winners on the card were Ateba Gautier and Brendan Allen. Ferreira didn't specify which name interested him the most, given those matchups came after his post-fight presser with the media. Either way, Ferreira hopes to get booked fairly quickly. He feels healthy and plans to begin training this very same week. "As many times as the boss wants," Ferreira said when asked how much he'd like to fight in 2025. "I just came out unscathed. Just give me like four days to rest, and I'm just going to go back into training and just be ready to fight soon."
