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!

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
