When You Hit A Good Shot You Don't Even Feel The Ball Strike The Mizuno MP Irons

Mizuno has long been considered to be the foremost company when it comes to forged club making.

In the past, Mizuno has used different names in the West and Far East for its game-improvement products. In Japan, the name was JPX, while it was MP in the United States. Mizuno did a good job making the mizuno mp57 irons full cavity back, without that feature dominating the look of the irons. The MP-57's are no frills and clean cut. You won't find any crazy inserts or colors. I was able to move the ball both right and left and found the distance of good shots to be very consistent. The "U-grooves" do what they promise, giving me good spin control with shots that landed soft on the green with good trajectory.

Like all MP irons the stock shafts are steel, and many steel and graphite shaft options are available. The MP line of clubs are "player's clubs" which means they are not made for the high handicapper looking for forgiveness but rather the golfer who is looking for the ability to work the ball and looking for consistent distances every time. The mizuno mp53 irons offer more forgiveness from a compact head and we would have to agree. There is a great balance to this set – for anyone from Tour level to a serious mid-handicap amateur. The new tuned heads didn't feel a great deal different, providing the same fantastic feedback. The MP 53 irons are not intended for the blade set, they are intended to attract those mid handicappers who have always felt that previous MP models were not forgiving enough for them. But if you miss hit them expect to come up about 15-20 yards short. When you hit a good shot you do not even feel the ball strike the club.

Mizuno needed to keep the traditional look of the MP-32 but understood that more forgiveness was needed and the MP-60 was born. The mizuno mp60 irons has a very traditional “blade-like” look and features the Mizuno Grain Flow Forged construction. This iron feels great, looks great and does everything a blade can do. The sole and top line are thin and the club looks very nice from above. Also, the MP 60s hit the ball somewhat higher in the long irons, and then produce a mid-trajectory in the scoring irons. The True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shaft is a perfect fit in this iron and most players will find no need to upgrade here. The MP 60 has the slight cavity of the MP 30 with the Cut Muscle technology introduced in the MP 32. The unique combination of Cut Muscle with cavity back helps enlarge sweet area.
