Anyone have any experience with these? I've tried the 52s and 62s. Fair to say the 58s fall somewhere between the two in the forgiveness/workability continuum?

Thanks for the feedback. Any reason you went with the 58/68 combo as opposed to 58/62? In other words, is there some kind of commonality between them that you wouldn't get with the 58/62s? I'm thinking of similarly splitting a set, but think the 68s might be a little too much club for me.

I have the 67s and hit the short irons VERY well. I just lacked the ability to bit the long and mid irons very well consistently. I have worn out the short irons in the 67s so using them and the 58s is not really an option. As to why I'm getting a blended set of blades and cavity backs: I find the blades more workable and as a general rule the shorter the iron the more you have to move the ball to get to the pin. This combined with the fact that they have the best feel ever and I'm set on blades in the short irons. I liked the 58s over the 62s because I couldn't find a difference in workability or feel and in that case I'll take the extra forgiveness. Also I didn't get fitted(so I sent get the clubs yet) I was supposed to get fitted on Friday for them but my aunt had to go to the hospital and is now on her deathbed I believe. To everyone please keep her in your prayers. Sorry if I hijacked the thread. If you have Any more questions on mizuno mp series clubs let me know and I'll answer them to the best of my abilities. I have the 67s and I hit the

I haven't hit the 67s/68s yet. Big difference between those and the 58s/62s?

Also, I've read that the 58s (because the titanium insert) don't offer the same mizuno "feel" on shots struck "pure" as the 62s/67s/68s. Do you agree?

I dont think so. They felt the mayb a bit different but a very solid feel and sound. Moreso than my TMs...........

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
