I was wondering if anyone out there is actually playing the 100th Anniversery MP-100's?



I am considering buying a set for actual play and some of the few reviews I've found on the internet of those that play them say they are excellent, and are simular to the MP-33's.


I currently play MP-37's which to me are the absolute best irons I have ever hit in my 35 years of playing, but they won't last forever, and I'm looking ahead to what I may go to next. Since I am biased and believe Mizuno makes the best forged blades hands down, my only current option(I'm not liking the "Cut Muscle" thing,,lol) are to move on to the MP-100's.


Has anyone actually hit them?



Thanks,
Parker

No, I haven't hit them. But from what I've heard they're similar to what you have (MP-37) instead of MP-33. Rather than using a collector set such as MP-100 which definitely will devalue them, I would surely get another set of MP-37. Unless if money isn't an issue for you.

As a Mizuno fan (and also biased toward it) I strongly recommend you to try the Cut Muscle on MP-32 or MP-67. They're the same Mizuno quality and feel but only more appealing and defined as I would call it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Fusioncal.

If they are more like the MP-37's like you said, that would be even better. I have considered buying a backup set of MP-37's for the future. I was just looking for feedback if anyone has played the MP-100's.

Well I pulled the trigger and bought a brand new set of MP-100's on ebay for only $490 and they arrived today. Now the question is do I really have the guts to actually hit them,,,lol! I will say yes because I payed so little for such a quality iron, and besides, 15 years from now when my kids are in college it's not like I will be able to sell them to pay for thier education.


Irons of this quality were made to be played.
I'm a "Player" not a "Collector",,lol!!

Brand new MP-100 for $490? You've got yourself a great deal there!

I wouldn't have the guts to hit them either if I were in your shoes. If I wanted great quality irons to play with I would've bought either MP-33, 37, 32 or 67. That Mizuno MP-100 is meant to be placed in trophy room. I desperately urge you to think twice whether or not to hit the MP-100.

This is my take, in the end, looking at them doesnt do anything for me. Really what kind of value can you expect them to be at 20-25 years from now? Of course nobody knows for sure. My new MacGregors are so beautifull I didnt want to hit them, but I mean spending $500 for them to sit there doesnt do anything for me personally. I would though HATE myself for having hit them, but id get over it.

That's pretty much my take on it also. I was looking for a set of "NEW" irons. I know some may feel that I could have went for a set of MP-33's, of which they no longer make so if you are lucky to find a new or immaculate set of MP-33's they want a lot more than $490 for them. Wolverine, I have to say that the new MacGregor Pro-M irons are awfully SWEET Looking!! If I wasn't a diehard Mizuno man I would have definitely bought a set of those. I played a set of MacGregor MT blades back in HighSchool in the early 80's. The new MacGregor's have a classic look to them,,,very nice. I hope they hit as well as they look for you?

I've played MP100's since 2008. Had Mizuno T-Zoid's before these and Hogan Apex before the Zoid's. I love the look and feel of the MP100's. Just when I think I'm too old ( 60 ) or don't have the game anymore to play these, I'll hit a few of those shots you don't even feel and remember why I bought them. Think I'll keep them. Buy them, throw away the display case and go play!

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
