MP 60 vs MP 67

[DJYoshi]

I'm in love and playing MP 60's. I want to get to the point where the ball striking is always on point and money so that I won't really suffer on a missed shot with a blade. My father borrowed my clubs last week b/c his friend who's a college golf instructor and has been helping my dad become this amazing golfer at his age (69 and only playing 10 years..shooting in the low 80's consistently) told my dad that he thought it was time he moved from a CB to a forged mid cb or even more of a blade. my dad took the mp 60's and fell in love with them. he's about 5 yards shorter with the club, but felt they were better, setup nicer and were controllable (he's all about the smooth swing)

Me being the golfer with the problem of always wanting the awesome gear thought, well what if I gave my dad my set and got a set of MP 67's.
I've hit the 67's 7 - pw. those felt BETTER than the 60's, but i lost like 2 - 5 yards per club...10 yards short on mishits. how hard are the 3 - 6 to hit in the 67's? and at $450 are the 67's too good to pass up?

Me being the golfer with the problem of always wanting the awesome gear thought, well what if I gave my dad my set and got a set of MP 67's.

I recently bought new clubs (last week actually) and the decision came down to the ZB forged and MP-67. I ended up with the ZB mainly because the local club pro has Titleist and gave me a great deal on them. I could have got the Mizuno for about the same price, but he really helped me with several weeks of testing and fitting so I thought that should be rewarded. Plus I felt very little difference between the two.

Anyway...the reason the 67 are shorter is that the standard lofts are one degree weaker than the 60. If that bothers you, they could be easily adjusted to the loft of your old 60's. The bounce is also one degree strong so a decrease in loft will give you the same bounce that you are used to. I did hit a demo 6-iron in the 67 and it wasn't awful to hit. The 3-5 may be a little harder but I never hit those. I guess it comes down to how well you strike the ball. The $450 is a great price for those however. If you are really concerned you could get a combo set of 67 (6-W and have them bent one degree stronger) and either 57 or 60 for the longer irons. That is the route I was going to take. 6-W in 67 and the 4 and 5 would be 57's. Mizuno is very good about letting you combine different products to make your complete set. However you would probably have to give up the great deal for a full set of 67s to go this route. I have a chart made with all different 'players' clubs and how they compare on loft/lie/length if you need it.

that chart would be AWESOME

I'd love to see that chart as well.

It is in Excel format. Not sure if it will go through the pm service here. You can pm you e-mail and I can send it that way.

I just saw yours DJ.

The MP-57/52 (3-6) and the MP-67/62 (7-PW) - I think is an excellent combination..
