I went to a fitting/demo of Mizuno clubs and my opinion is the MP 57 is a much better/feel club than the MP 52. Maybe as a 10 index player I like the 57 better but I really didn't like the MP 52. I hit the 52 fine but it was 'kind' of dead feeling compared to the 57. Both are good clubs but the 57 is top cabin. I'm sorry there dropping the 57 it's better and doesn't have the hollow cavity

I agree. Maybe a little bias, but I've NEVER liked the appearence of the MP-52's...and apparence is huge for when I look into clubs, specifically irons.

No big knock on the MP 52 but the MP 57 just felt better. The MP 52 hit straight and strong but less feel, less of a forge feeling. Still a good iron.

Yeah I was really torn when I bought mine, 52's I think are much more forgiving. But I dislike the notched backs, and they lacked feel. But they were strait as an arrow.

57's feel much more pure when struck well, plus they still have the ability to shape shots better than the 52 (imo) Plus they are much more pleasing to my eye.

I bought my MP-60's last winter and was in the middle of deciding between the 57's and the 52's. I really preferred the 57's as far as feel was concerned, but at least on simulator I consistently had a better ball flight with the 52's - slightly longer and a little lower trajectory. I didn't buy immediately because I couldn't make up my mind, but then these MP-60's became available and I preferred them to both of the others in every respect. I think I would have been happy with any of the 3 models, but I definitely liked the MP-60's better.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
