Just picked up a set of MP57's with Dynamic Gold R300 shafts for a mere $ 649.00. 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'm looking to buy the 57's. I have a 8 hc and I'm now wondering if these would be the right irons for me and what is the difference between them all.

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

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

Thanks for the review and ensuing comments. 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 replaced my Ping 59s with a full set of MP57s and I could not be much happier. 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.

All,

I bought my 57's just today i got them back from the adjustment (1 deg flat) new grips (winn #6).. 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..

would mp-52 be better with projectx 5.5 or projectx the high launch version.. I am a medium hc. I want to switch to these badly but increase their forgiveness as much as I can..

Purchased my MP57's last week after a local pro shop had an expo weekend. Play off 10 and hit the entire Muzuno range plus alot of other brands. I have always wanted a set of Muzuno's so that had a bit to do with my purchase but hey half the game is played in the top two inches!
Surprisingly I hit the long irons pretty well straight away. Have a bit off work to do with the timing with the short irons but thats to be expected going from an average set of irons previously. Still the accuracy of the clubs is very impressive. On reflection of my first round I was putting for birdies form inside 12 feet alot more than I normally would. Also very nearly holed out with my 6 iron on a 145 metre par 3, ended up 6 inches away for a gimme 2 so there and then I gave them a pass mark!

I will go hit it...as I am a Titleist guy...but for now? I am a Mizuno guy
