Mizuno MP Irons Are In The Hot List For Many Golf Players


Over the past few years we’ve seen anything from gel-like inserts to flashy badges when it comes to irons. All of Mizuno's new designs conform to the new rule, basically ending the square groove run started years ago.

When Mizuno was designing the Mizuno MP-58 Irons, they keep the thoery of making the most playable and workable golf gear for various golf players. The MP-58s were actually a good fit since my last set of Mizunos (yes, I also have had them in my bag) were the T-Zoid Pro IIs - a pseudo-cavity backed club. While the MP-58s may not look as simple or pure as a traditional blade, there might not be a better looking dual muscle club out there. The feel impresses even more and is exactly what you'd expect out of a Mizuno club. Mizuno came to play with this set when it pertains to the aesthetics of these irons. The MP-58s have a build you would expect from Mizuno. Very solid and classic - while infusing some new technology. There is a smooth transition to the thin top that has only a couple of ridges that are visually appealing. Due to the high-tech design, confidence inspiring looking, the mizuno mp58 irons are in the hot list for many golf players. One other big design feature in the MP-58 set is that they have modified U-grooves that conform to the new condition of competition rules for 2010 while still providing spin and maximum playability. But up to this point the MP-58′s are the best I have seen and that is the reason they have found spot in my bag.

After warming up and using the shorter irons first to get a feel for the mizuno mp57 irons, my fears quickly went away as I worked through all the clubs and found out what that buttery "Mizuno feel" is all about. The front of the clubs look great with the "U-grooves" sitting nicely in the nickel plated face. The Product Development team undertook the task of making the MP-57′s the first MP iron with a Full Cavity, resulting in a significantly larger. Along with increased forgiveness, the MP-57's produce a slightly higher ball flight in the long irons, and a mid trajectory, in the scoring irons. When looking down at the topline in both the Mp60 and the MP 57 there was a hint of a larger topline in the mp57 The toe of the 57 appears to be a bit higher so it gives you a little bit more confidence at address. I felt the MP-57s have helped me in that a fair amount thus far. I didn't find a bias either way nor did I find it overly difficult to hit draws or fades. There is also considerably more weight on the perimeter and down low to help get the ball up. A little later in the review you’ll see a shot of the sole of the MX-23 vs the MP-57 as well, which shows another area of difference.

The company continues to take classic designs and make them more versatile without compromising the feel it's known for. The MP-53 is the more forgiving of Mizuno's two players irons, and there are plenty of custom options available to help you find what you're looking for. Tight lies or thick wet rough were no match for the MP-53′s. The 360° grind made every type of lie effortless and the Pocket Cavity in the long irons made me forget I was playing a ‘Game Enhancement’ set. The MP-53′s deliver exactly what they where designed for – ‘Optimized Feel, Playability and Performance’. The back of the club approaches genius. These clubs are very slender yet an awful lot of engineering has been packed into such a small area. The club face is none too shabby either. Tour-compliant modified U-grooves have been milled into the face, giving spin that is in keeping with the overall workability of these irons. The diamond also helps the mizuno mp53 irons make a fantastic sound on impact - as if the sight of the ball flying where and how you want it was not good enough.

If you like these clubs, just go ahead and get one. Before that, you can get some preparation from the golfrumors.
