I was playing R7 tp's which I thought were great but when I used a friends mp 57s at the range I was shocked at how easy these are to hit. Bought my own set used and It has been a perfect marriage. More people should have the courage to hit the MP line. They are very easy to play, dig through the ground with ease and feel very soft. These provide enough feedback on offcenter hits and oh yes I now enjoy hitting a 4 iron! Mcsox08 said on September 15, 2009:

I was looking at the new MX200's and AP1's until i saw this post. I love Mizuno's, my first set were MX-17's and loved them. Currently have TM R7 Draw and like the clubs but i just feel i need something else to challenge me. Do you guys think I should maybe stretch for the 57's or stick with what i have until i get a bit more consistent.I can strike the ball nicely a lot of the time but my main problem has been distance, but that has been improving of late.

First two rounds have been a modified best ball and a scramble. Cannot wait to get out this week end with the old ball and chain and play 36 on Saturday.

I saw a loss in distance so can't be afraid to club up. But the consistancy and feel of these irons are awsome. I own these clubs and love them!

But did you notice a loss in distance? I moved over from GI irons and lost about 5 to 10 yards in distance Great review. But did you notice a loss in distance?

I have been looking for this kind of opinion since purchasing the 57's in June. Just coming back to the game after a four year medical hiatus and it's been interesting to say the least. Ya know, older, heavier etc. etc.. I had played with a a set of M/T's (forged cavity backs) with some degree of success for six or seven years but must admit to always being cruious about the Mizuno product at large. I bit the bullet but like "hdog" found the stock S-300's too stiff for my "use ta could" abilities. I ripped 'em out and put in a set of Dynamic Golds (5.5) and while they are ok still not quite what I'm looking for. Collective comments here on the overall appearance group and "buttery" feedback for center face contact appear to be dead on, but off-center results in my case at least are somewhat nasty. Will do a little more shaft research and might even try a 6-iron makeup w/the Dynamic Black Golf to see what that yeilds for me. Thanks again to one and all. BTW, nice community here.

I don't want to tell you what I thought about the Ping 57s I hit 300 balls with but I am sure Mizuno will be my iron brand for a long time to come. Also, I like the MP57s over the MP52s.

Honestly not impressed with the factory grips they will chew up your hands.. The club, chrome finish very relaxing on the eyes will not blind you with glare from the sun on those *perfect* days. When the club is hit solid you cannot fell the contact only the swing. The offset is nice for fixing slight swing problems. The head on the end of the 3i looks VERY small compared to the length of the shaft. You really have to rotate the shoulder through impact in order to NOT hit it off center. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.. Lefty Joe All,
