Just a note:
When considering titleist vs. Mizuno, try to focus on the Mizuno Mp Line as opposed to the MX line, as the Mx are just simply not as good as the MP irons. On that note, I gotta go with Mizuno. The ability to make shots with those clubs is absolutely second to none. The set of Mizunos that I am playing now was my first set of mens irons. After this year, I intend to get a set of 32's, unless another club can better it.

I was addicted to titleist irons for awhile. The 695 cb's just felt crazy good when struck well. But I do love Mizuno and I got a frickin deal on the price for my MP-30's. It was pretty much a new set 3-PW for $320. My driver was more expensive than that.

I'm undecided. Ive hit my own 990b's and some 735cm's...are Mizunos that much better feeling on a well struck ball?

Mizuno, even the MX series forged irons have the butter feel, but the MP line is much better.

Mizuno looks have always been just impressive, much better than Titleist’s. Both are very very good irons, but the aesthetics of the Mizuno’s really make the decision easy.

I just bought the MP-57's yesterday. Couldn't be happier so far with them.

I purchased the MP-57's this winter. They are a great feeling set of irons. I find them shorter hitting then last seasons R7's, but are way better feeling.

Yeah, they are higher lofts on each club I believe.

I've tried both the Mizuno's as well as the Titleists. They really felt very, very similar. Titleist had a better fitting program than Mizuno. I couldn't be fit for the mizuno's as for the titleist . That's why I went for the Titleist.
Both are really great and I don't regret buying it.

kiwigold, Better is subjective. The MX line tends to be more in the game improvement vein, whereas the MP line is more of a players club. So a tour pro might think that the MP is better, but an 18 handicap might think the MX is better.

I'm glad I found this thread!! So I am wondering now, if Mizuno's are so good, why don't more pro's use them? Is it a matter of sponsorship and/or just a preference thing? For all the people in this thread who have Titleist irons and loves them, but think the feel of the Mizuno's are better, why did you choose Titleist instead?

What is the difference between the MP-57 and MP-60 irons?

I am so tempted by the MP-32 just from their looks. They are absolutely beautiful. I may just go and try them out on the weekend...

you need to the 32's are the best iron i have ever hit and trust me i have hit a lot of different irons. 57 i think has a little more muscle back than the 60's but essentially they are the same.

    • "Positional" shots? How do we do that? I am using the V3 and edit on my laptop.
    • No, I'm not talking about "six footers uphill, slightly right to left." I'm going to indulge myself and talk about my favorite putts that I've ever hit. In no particular order… #9 at Whispering Woods The hole was cut middle left, and I was back right with about 40 feet to the hole, and six to eight feet of break. @DrizZzY (he'll be a semi-common theme here) was about 25' from the hole and he said "Do you need me to mark that" as his ball was really close to my line. I saw the line really, really clearly and, like the cocky jerk I am, said something like "no, leave it. I think I have to just miss your ball to make this." I saw my ball as having to pass within a few millimeters of his ball… and going in the middle. Well, I hit the putt, and as it passed his ball missing it by maybe 1.5cm… I said "ahhhhh, pulled it a little…" and… the ball fell in the left-center of the hole. I smirked at Sculley and he just said "you're such an ass." 🤣 I know I said in no particular order, and that might be true for the rest… but this one is clearly tops on my list. I saw the line so clearly, it was a touchy, delicate putt… and I knew I'd pulled it just that little bit, and my speed was perfect. His ball was fifteen feet from mine, and the putt broke 8'! Might be the greatest putt, given the call I made, I'll ever hit. #13 at Lawsonia Links I cared about a few rounds in Wisconsin on our 2021 trip (thanks again @cipher), and the 13th had gotten me a bit. I was in a bunker, and someone not NOT named @DeadMan had told me I could just chip a 7I out and still be fine… well, the 7I left me 250 in, so my 3W finished just left of the green… and about 10' below the green. I hit a decent pitch to 25' or so… this putt broke only about 2-3', but burying that one was satisfying as it kept my "no sixes in Wisconsin" streak alive. It was after this putt that someone said something like "You remember how you said you felt about Tiger at the 1997 Masters? That's how we feel right about now." It was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. 😄 #14 at Whispering Woods Two putts are tied here. On one, Sculley and I hit tee shots to a back hole near the front of the green. I was a foot off the front, he was a few feet on. As we were getting back into the cart, I said "putting contest from here." He replied "Well, I lost." I made the 75-footer. The other time, the pin was front-left. I was mostly middle right, barely on the green, putting across it from about 65 feet. The putt broke a good ten feet. Sculley was short left of the hole, and for the last 20 feet of the putt, I looked at @DrizZzY and the face he made — disgust, annoyance, resignation — as the putt tracked directly toward and eventually into the hole was one of the funniest and most satisfying expressions I've ever seen on the golf course. I watched him, not my ball, for the last 15-20 feet of its roll. Sorry Sculley! #9 at Tan Tara Golf Course It was my 77th stroke in my second round of the PAT. It was a ten-footer, broke a few inches, and was destined for the bottom of the cup the instant I hit it, all to pass the PAT on the number in my first attempt. (Tan Tara is now Pendleton Creek.) #17 and 18 at The Old Course, St. Andrews On the 18th, I hit it to about four feet from about 40 yards out, up and over the Valley of Sin, from the fairway. I didn't even really consider chipping or pitching it, because who does that? Not there, not me. On #17, I had about a 15 or 18 footer, after playing a 6I from 180 that flew (on purpose) only about 90 yards, and took about 15 steps to run over humps and hollows before coming to a stop on the right portion of the hole. My caddie said "I see only one or two birdies a year on the Road Hole, so, well done." Lifetime scoring average on 17 at the Old: 3. I'll take that. Far Hole (#?), Putting Course at Streamsong Black @kpaulhus and I were screwing around. Calling out holes, and tee locations. I walked over to the fringe of the nearby green on the Black course… We putted from the fringe in case we scuffed the ground a bit. Well, I chose a putt from the fringe to the far side of the 18-hole putting course. In Google Earth, I measured the putt just now at nearly 400 feet. As in… 130 yards. I hit the stick. My ball stopped less than two feet from the hole. The other diners let out a loud shout when I smacked it, and looked way over at me and yelled out "it hit the stick!" Kyle lost that hole. And most of the other ones. 😉  Some stats: Count: 8 Shortest: 10 feet. Longest: 130 yards. Average length: ~93 feet. But, y'know… Those are my favorite putts. What are yours?
    • I have one still sitting in a box my son gave me for Christmas.  For a while, I used an app on my watch, but it drained the phone battery . We have Markers at 180 ,135 and 90M , and generally I am close enough to one of them to get a fairly rough indication of how far.  Also, for a while now ,I walk into town and back at weekends, approximately 5 mile round-trip . I’ll start a walk on my watch, and on the way home when the watch ticks over to .10/.90 etc I’ll pick a street light ,lamp post , sign , and guess how far, normally anything up to about 100 m, I have now got very good at estimating distances, especially up to 50 or 60M.
