Dear MP59 Players

I used to play CompEZ for almost 8 years (a great gift from Mizuno in Switzerland) and i loved them.

I wanted to buy my first set of clubs and went for a fitting in a Mizuno center to keep with the same brand i was satisfied with... (in Paris - France) It was very interesting and impressive how fitting does matter...and  i finally choose MP59 Irons

I feel comfy and trust them, and they look fine to me even if at the beginning they looked "tiny & small"(they are to my point of view less forgiving but better rewarding and feeling softly than my old clubs...)

The point is that within 4 or 5 months they started to show some rust on the back... (i took good care of the CompEZ and kept then clean and dry for long time without any sign of rust on them)

It started with a 4 iron, then 9 to 5, finally only the 3 and W are "clean" at this time.

I tried to use some soft material to remove the rust, no results, i tried with the "metallic" brush made for cleaning irons, the rust came back...

Not to mention than the MP59 are stored in dry conditions and i did not change the way i look after them...

I advise Mizuno France of my problem, and the answer was "special", as they answer that the irons are not made on the same line, so it was "impossible".... i took some pictures and email them...

So as we talk i sent them back to France (I am living in North Africa).

Did this occur to anybody here ? What would you recommend fort treatment ?

Regards

Alexandre

Sorry to hear that happened to your irons! I've had my MP-59s for about 1.5 years now and I haven't had any issues with rust so far. I keep them pretty clean and always make sure they are dry.

I'm not sure what to use to clean up already formed rust. I'm sure others will have some ideas.

They shouldn't rust they have a chrome finish on them. I think the face might be the actual steel, but I never had a club rust unless it was meant to (some cleveland wedges), but the rest of the body is a chrome finish. I think that is a titanium insert in the back, so that shouldn't rust. Not a clue, did you get MP-59 knock offs? If not then call the parent company and have them refinished. Mizuno should do this at no charge.

Dear Matt

Thanks for your reply, 2 weeks from now on, and still no news, but i shall have some by the end of the week.

On my point of view, i think Mizuno is a serious company with a good sense of customer care and after sell service, this case will be interesting to measure how much i am correct :o)

Either they rebuilt new irons, or they will refinished the original ones, i wish the will provide a correct and true answer on what was going on...

As my English is not my first language, if you mean by "did you get MP-59 knock offs?" that i bought "fake" MP59", it is simply impossible, as i went to the National Mizuno Fitting Center in The Golf National (where the Ryder Cup is going to be .... hourra :o) and then they directly sent the "Fitting info" to one of their registered Dealer in Paris... it is simply impossible... unless Mizuno workers in Japan are doing moonlight work in the factory with crap materials :o)

To be continued...

Just wondering because I find it strange that they would rust. I have never had a club rust on me. I live in Ohio which is gets every conceivable weather possible, including crazy humidity. Like I said the only clubs that ever rusted are those designed to, like some Cleveland wedges. This is shocking that Mizuno would not respond quickly to you in this fashion. I had the wrong golf shaft put in my golf clubs, and the place I bought them from sent them back to Mizuno and I had my clubs back to me in about a week with the correct shafts. No hassle.

Got News from Mizuno

Believe it or not the answer from Mizuno France is :

We will not take your clubs into consideration for any guaranty because "You live and play on a course next to the sea !!!"

Yes unbelievable from a so called Serious Company such as Mizuno with one of the best forged irons on the market. The strange thing is that before returning the clubs to the store i told them i was living in Tunis -Tunisia.

As far as i know maybe more than 50% of the golf courses around the world are next to the sea or the ocean...so if you play in the desert, only miles away from any shore, then you can play Mizuno :o)

I wrote a letter to the shop and Mizuno in order to "complain" with that kind of answer which, to my personal point of view, is really freaking.

Could be just be Mizuon France. Not sure about the structure of the company like Mizuno, but you might want to try to contact the parent company.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.
