A friend of mine who is a real Mizuno ho had a set for about 3 weeks. He hated them and sold them at a huge loss. They look and feel horrible.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I've been wondering this for awhile ... is there any rhyme or reason to Mizuno's club names?  (i.e., MP-58, MP-64, Mp-69, etc)

For the last few years the number in the 50s has been the more game-improvement of the set.

Not surprising considering his iron play stats are down this year.  The feel of the 59s is certainly different because of that titanium insert.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

The "multi material" experiment failed. I don't know why Mizuno jumped on that bandwagon. The MP64s look magnificent.

The MP-64's look really nice, I'm guessing they won't have a lefty version

Those look great, except for the shiny chrome.

No wonder Luke put them in his bag right away - his season needs a change.

Yeah I'm surprised they haven't come out with one satin chrome MP iron in the last few years, that would be awesome.

Im OK with them trying and failing.  IMO, if youre someone who likes the looks of blades but needs something that is a little more forgiving, the 59s are great irons.  I do believe though that it compromises the feel to a certain extent and if you need very precise distances from your irons, they may not be the best thing in the world.

I thought Luke played the 63s. And the place I work at has the 64s and H4 club heads for hitting. We also got some project X graphite shafts and 2 C-Taper shafts. The 64 head with the C-Taper shaft was awesome!

 913 D2 8.5* with V2 66g stiff shaft

 910F 14.25 with Diamana stiff shaft

 i20 17, 20, and 23 hybrid 

 AP2 712 5-PW with Dynamic Gold S300 shaft

 54 and 60

 D66

 Tournament Edition 1600

He has recently been playing the MP-59's.  He did use the 63's for a while.  MP-64's probably feel a lot similar to his 63's.

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      By DaveP043 ·

      Yes, thats still your NPCR.  Your stance might be OB, which is legal, it might be down the cliff, or in water in a Penalty Area, those factors don't disqualify that from being the NPCR. However, once you make that drop, you have a new situation, one for which a left-hand stroke might be reasonable.  As you describe it, if you went further left of the path the ball might be OB if you got your feet off the path in taking a left-handed swing.  If all that is true, your NPCR for a left-hand swing could be on the right side of the path.  Its important to consider a probable sequence of relief situations before you decide to lift the ball to take relief the first time.

      This is one of the handiest rules of thumb to remember. If relief is free, it's one club length. If it's with penalty, it's two club lengths (or on the line away from the flag when that's allowed). On the OB question, suppose your ball is on the cart path and your reasonable swing setup is right handed and you "have" to take relief (says it's a mini cobblestone path and the ball is sitting down and you're guaranteed to blade it and not really know where it's going, and probably damage your club). Your NPR is left of the path, as it almost always is for a righty. But while the ball can be in bounds, your feet will be across the OB line between the hole and the houses lining the fairway. Is that still an NPR? Are you allowed to take a right handed swing with your feet OB? What if the OB is a cliff or other landscape feature that means you can't stand there? Does a point on the left hand side of the path still count as NPR?

      The OP says "under a prickly ugly bush" Not being there and in the absence of a clear photo of the situation, I am not entirely convinced about the reasonableness of the claim. However, DavePo43 is of course correct in all other aspects.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 27: 1/6/2025 Lots of mirror work again today. Went over photos and videos from my last lesson. Trying to get the movements in my priority piece just right.  I'm likely going to be doing more mirror work tomorrow too. Which is fine considering the weather.
