Anyone have any info on these? How do they compare to 690 mbs, 695s, 670s, etc? forging process? Age? If i put new grips on these baby's how close will they be to the 710 mbs? How offset? Thanks.

EDIT: Also, what are the comparable mizuno irons and how do they stack up?

i thnk they are a 1/4 inch longer and a degree more upright than the non dot versions,with new grips they will probably be close to the same i mean how much technology can you put in new blades?plus the 690.mb also have v-grooves which i believe are conforming.the 690.mb were made in 05 i believe.i used to own a set thier good clubs

Don't know about the 690s, but I have hit the Nike blades. Not as smooth/soft as my Mizunos. Probably why I bought them.

mp57s are forged. Talked a playing friend into them over a year ago. He still loves them. The 68s are softer, but way less forgiving than the 57s

I had the 690.MB's a few years back. Great clubs, I would think they are very similar to the new 710's, definitely look almost the same.

I sold my 690.MB's and totally regret doing so now looking back on it. Great clubs that I'd love to throw back in the bag when I'm swinging well.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
