I am looking for a Mizuno MP-57 2 iron ...... don't think it was made ?!?!????

Can allways deloft a 3i to 18* and add 0.5" to the shaft or deloft both the 3i and 4i maybe 1.5*, but I might be good to find a 2 iron (original).

I am currently using a Callaway Big Bertha Titanium/Tungsten .... it does what it has to do, but it really is a big shovel.

Have rarely heard of it (a 2-iron in MP57). I'm shanking the shot just thinking about it.

I'm 99.9% sure they don't/didn't make a 2 iron for the MP 57. The last 2 iron they made was for the MP67 and the MP60. They don't even make a 2 iron for the MP68.

What's your secret in hitting your long irons? I only carry up to a 5 iron, myself.

I am often told that I hit irons so well, that I feel they might be right...... it is a confidence thing, I tried Fairway Woods and Hybrids ..... not my cup of tea !!!

Besides that MP-33 is harder to hit in the long irons than a MP-57 ...... I tried the MP-67 2 iron, geeee very hard to hit.

But I got a hybrid with a DG S300 to try from a local clubfitter, as I am looking for a club to get some serious control and distance from the rough.

I always carried a 2 iron. They were useful off the tee on tight par fours and for me not any harder to hit than a 3 iron from the fairway. Nobody makes them anymore...i guess hybrids killed them off.

Being a MP-57 guy myself, I am pretty sure that a MP57 2iron was never made.

Well I really like the 3 iron, maybe I am going to buy an extra 3 iron and have it bend 1* to 2* stronger + 0.5" shaft to get the extra 12 yds.

There is no 2-iron made by MP-57s. But there are options:

Get an MP-57 3-iron, get the shaft longer (whatever the 2-iron shaft should be), and get the loft bent strong.

MP FLI-HI are basically a hybrid of an iron and a utility metal. They make a 2-iron in this.

I tried the MP Fli Hi 2 (20*) and it is not the same as an iron, not by feel and certaintly not by sound. I considered buying one of the older models in a 2 iron, like the MP-67 .... but most of what I could get my hands at, were not as "easy" to hit as the MP-57 ..... one of the guys offered a MP-32, but shipping costs might kill me from the USA.

That is a good suggestion.

Really eh? That's good to know about the MP Fli-Hi...I think bending the 3i and putting a 2i equivalent shaft into a MP57 is the best option

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.
