[...] I found out about Mizuno releasing a full cavity-back iron for their MP line, I must admit, I was pretty [...]

Just ordered the MP-57's. I've been a huge fan of Mizuno for years and have played them all. Most recently, I have the mp-32 amd mp-60. Last year I veered away and played the r7 TP and Adams Pro. I saw the MP-57s and had to hit them. Well, let me tell you they are simply the best. I'm a 6 and I like the extra forgiveness provided by these bad boys. Mizuno has done it again!

Up-front disclaimer: I am a 2 handicap and love my Mizuno MP-67's (x100 shafts).

I have been involved in several discussions with other Mizuno iron players who wonder why Mizuno irons are not more prevelant on the tours. It's especially interesting, given that I've heard from many people (not linked to Mizuno) who say that Mizuno makes the best irons, and have for a while. I've heard that Mizuno doesn't pay their tour players as much, which is the main reason for their lack of penetration on the tour (apparently, players are opting for the larger contracts as opposed to a "slightly" better iron).

At this point, I think I've heard all of the opinions and I know how they play versus other irons that I've tried (my opinion, of course). So does anyone know of any websites that give insight into what players are paid to play certain irons? I'm interested to know if the difference is really that considerable, or do tour players just not think Mizuno is all that?

If Mizuno would pay me $15,000/year to play the MP-67's and Titleist would pay me $35,000/year to play their MB's (whatever # it is now).... I'd probably take the higher contract too, as they're not THAT different.

General Thoughts?

I've had the MP-67 irons for over a year now and are the best irons I've had. I switched from Cleveland wedges to the MP-R wedges in black nickel. Great feeling wedges. I haven't tried their fairway woods yet but maybe that will be my next purchase. Go Mizuno.

Mizuno makes a wonderful product! I have been playing with the mp-32's for the past 3 years. I have recently been looking for a little more forgivness so have considered the mp-60 or the mp-57. What is the difference between them?

Does anyone know if Mizuno MP-32s are still in production, or were they discontinued after last season??

I'm ready to get the 67's now but want to know if anyone has tried them in a project x shaft? Any comments?

I looked at the MP-57's but will stay with the 67's. I love the thinner top line.

Jeff Rairan said on October 29, 2007:

The difference between the R and the T is that the R has a more tour grind on the sole of the wedges.

I believe that's incorrect. The C-Grind is now offered on the MP-T wedges as well.

they do make a rifle spinner shaft that is made for wedges but mizuno does not offer it.

The Spinner can be custom ordered via Mizuno.

I thought the MP R wedges were the newest wedges out from Mizuno not the MP T wedges. Does anyone know the difference between these two besides the tear drop and round head shape? Is one supposed to be better then the other?
I'm getting MP 57 irons in project x 5.5 and also wondered if anyone knows if its worth putting the wedges into the project x shaft as well?

The difference between the R and the T is that the R has a more tour grind on the sole of the wedges. i just bought the R's and the mp57 with rifle 6.0 in the whole set. i did it that way for the consistency of using one shaft. they do make a rifle spinner shaft that is made for wedges but mizuno does not offer it.

cant wait to play with my new clubs!!!!
