I went tonight and get a demo MP 57, and all i can say is wow. That 6 iron feels absolutely amazing, and I can do whatever i want with the ball for the most part, if i keep my head down, lol.

But can someone riddle me this. What is the differnece in between all the other MP series.

http://mizunousa.com/equipment.nsf/c...golf&cat;=irons Check out the different features each iron set contains. Some offer more workability, others offer more forgiveness. Check the site to see which is fore you. MP-57's have a great blend, which is why I love them.

i read all that, but i would really like someones first hand experience. I want to know what make the 32 different than the 57. I dont care about the 60 series, becauae they aren't available left handed.

I'm going to demo the MP57s on saturday. How good is your iron striking? I'm using Ping G2s and don't know if the transition would be too difficult or not.

my iron striking was okay, but not consistent. I have a really cheap set of clubs right now. I go to the 57's, and to me, it was a cake walk when i could remember to keep my head down, lol. They were easy to hit, and felt totally awesome.

The 57's have a little bit bigger sweet spot compared to the others in the mp line. they also have more offset. And they are pretty close to being a player cavity back design, or at least a cross between a players cavity and a blade. They really aren't a true blade like the 67 is.....
Basically they are the most forgiving iron in the MP line, less forgiving then the MX irons.

MP-52s are essentially the new version of the MP-57s. They're a little more forgiving. MP-32s are essentially blades - and are less forgiving than the MP-57s.

I was about 10 shots worse than you are now when I switched to the MP-57s. Your best shots will be better, but your average shots will be about the same for a little while. The benefit is that your worst shots are a bit worse than with your G2s. But as you get this feedback, your swing will improve, your iron striking will improve, and you'll hit the ball much better.

Too difficult? Not unless you got your handicap where it is by duffing the ball to the green and always chipping in once there.

Of the newest models you can look at it like this - this list is from max 'workability' to max 'forgivness':

-workability-
MP-67
MP-62
MP-57
MP-52
-forgivness-

I currently play the MP-60's (in short irons), which would be between the MP57 and MP-62 (but closer to the 57). I have hit just about every model of Mizuno MP that has been on the market for the last 5-7 years or so. Personally, my favorites were the MP-60's and 57's. I also really liked the MX-52's, but just didn't feel like they were as 'workable' as the others. The 62's were also good, but have a smaller sweetspot so you definitely have to be a consistent ballstriker for those. The MP-67 is the most difficult to hit as they have a small sweetspot and very little forgivness (at least the 62's have some forgivness in the long irons). Those are the closest to the old traditional blade in the current line and the MP-52's are the closest to be 'game improvement' irons in the MP line. I couldn't tell a huge difference between most in the short irons, but once you get to a 6 iron and shorter you can tell a significant difference between the models

Are the 32's considered a full blade? Can someone tell me about them, and thanks.

I can not answer the above question. I will give you my option of the MP 60s. I am pretty satisified with the irons. I've had them for about 9 months and bought them new at a very discounted price. My likes are the feel and looks. They are not forgiving. I am a pretty poor iron player at times and when I am off, I am really off. There is no hiding that fact with these.

I am not sure if I will keep them past this year. It depends on if I improve and if I can make time to iron out whatever is causing me to have such bad results. If I can, then the irons are great. But if I decide I just don't have the time to work at it and really improve, I am going to get something that is more forgiving.

If you are a good player, I don't think there are better irons than the MP series. But I am not sure what golfer I am going to be so that is why I don't rave about the irons. My ability to strike it consistantly isn't there right now.

I thought so, but Mizuno's website lists them as cut muscle. They look like blades to me, but my MP-57s are also listed as cut muscle, and they have a cavity. So, I have no idea, but I'm also interested in the answer.

[clubchamp]

My take on the 57s is kind of different than everyone elses. A lot of people say they are easy to hit but I disagree because it totally depends on what irons you had before. If you had forgiving irons than you will have some trouble with them because all of your off center shots will show a lot more with them. I actually played the mx-23s until I got to 5 handicap. I guess if you are prepared for the learning curve they are great irons and you will like them once you get the hang of them.

[sp33d]

I would consider the 32's blades, the 67's are considered muscle backs by mizuno. but they are blades.

The 52's are awesome, but I had less control with them. I almost bought the 62's but I got a killer deal on 57's and could not be happier.

They are for me a perfect combination of workability/forgiveness, I did not want a club that was to forgiving. They let you know when you miss hit, and when you hit them pure its like no other club I've hit.

My irons are a Acumark USA 1. Cant even find them on the internet is how generic they are. The day before I demoed the 57, I was hitting my 6 iron, and hit like 2/10 good shots. Went to the 57, and i hit 9/10. To me they were super easy to hit, and yes, if i tried to get really fancy, I had a mishit.

Witht that being said, what is the difference in between the 32's and 57 hitting wise. I want someones first hand experience.

anyone???

[MSchumacher]

I went to a demo day and tried out the MP57s. They were really easy to hit and forgiving. Feeling was better compared to the Pings mainly because I could tell if I mishit or not.

Got fitted and will probably order these things within a month or two

I was going to start a new thread, but searched first and figured I'd post here...


... I am a 100% Mizuno believer after today. I went had a chance to demo the MP-57's finally. Hit about 3 buckets switching back and forth from teh MP-57's and my clubs. I can't believe the feeling that the MP-57's offered. Not to mention how stunning they are to look at.

I am placing my order tonight!

The 57's are going to be more forgiving and have a little large blade which also contributes to them being a little more forgiving. The 32's are more bladelike than the 57's and are going to be more 'workable', although for most high handicap golfers that's not a good thing because 'workability' can easily be translated to 'sliceability' or 'hookability' unless you have a good, consistent swing that almost always strikes the ball on the sweet spot.

It might be worth checking some of the MX lines that are borderline 'players' clubs (that's what the MP line is). The new MX-200 is quite a bit more forgiving than the MP line, but still are somewhat workable and still feel like Mizuno's. Older models MX-25 and MX-23 fall into this same category.
