Mizuno MP63 and MP53

[Clambake]

A couple new Mizuno irons on the way - an MP63 and MP53 to replace the 62 and 52 respectively. Images are from a European retailer.

Those two look very similar. Nice looking irons.

Last few in the MP series went:
MP-57/67, MP-52/62, MP-58/68
Thought the 53/63's would replace the 58/68.

Any pictures of the MP-63? Always loved the look of their blades.

[Shindig]

Mmmm, pretty. I'm going to a demo day on the 11th, and I believe Mizuno will have their new ones there then. I'll try to get pictures if I can. Step 1, find my camera.

The 53 and 63's replace the 52 and 62's.

Seems Mizuno has abandoned the MX entire or at least some it also and replaced it with the JPX 800 pro and JPX 800, the latter being cast and the former forged.

going by pictures only, I think the 53's and 63's look hideous compared to the 62's and 52's, but maybe i'm biased.

[upah]

I agree. I think they look cheap.

[Gerald]

That's exactly what I thought, but it also looks as a way to minimize the difference between their game inprovement vs. game enhancement.

I do not like them at all. They do appear to blur the line between the MP and MX line though, which may be a good thing.

I just held them at the golf store. Those pics dont do justice at all, they are alot better in person. I agree I dont like the triangle shapes on the mp ones but they were pretty darn nice in person. As far as the JPX 800 pro, those are much better than the mx series in my opinion. They are forged and they arent as bulky as the mx line, I think they will be the best game improvement iron on the market. I want to see the new blade line though. Guys this is mizuno, dont make your judgements until you hold them, they back up the name.

While I understand withholding judgment until you hold the clubs in the store, based solely on the photos here, I think the clubs look terrible. One of, if not the, best part about Mizuno clubs, IMHO, is their simplicity of design. Mizzys aren't busy and don't seem tricked out; they are just good, classic-looking golf clubs that are beautiful to play and look at. Personally, I think the ideal look for irons are the blade look, but obviously I (along with a lot of other people) can't/don't play blades. I like to think that Mizzy blends the blade look with technological function (i.e. bigger sweet spot, perimeter weighting, etc), but it appears that the 53/63s are getting away from that.

Again, this is just an opinion, and I look forward to checking them out in person. But based on the photos, I'm disappointed in you, Mizuno.

i think they look nice actually... its not like they have random plastic parts plastered in the cavity... its just a unique way in which they created the cavity. I personally like it.

[te3point5]

I guess they are somewhat reminiscent of the old King Cobras I used to have:


The triangle just looks so huge and pronounced on the MP's

Those are bad pics.There are better ones out there,just search google. The MP 63's are a blade actually even though some pics look identical to the 53's. Also the diamond pattern has a purpose. The cutouts in the sole remove weight from the center and extends it to the edges for more frgiveness and the other half actually raises the cg for a more penetrating ball flight.

[Gerald]

Looking at both ..... it is like Mizuno kind of focusing on mixed sets of short irons in the MP63 and mid/long in the MP53 having matching looks ..... I wonder what the design of the "new" MP 59/69 will be like ....

[Stretch]

I like the 63s, but don't think I'd trade my 57s for them from a looks point of view.

[bcgolf]

I like the diamond stuff ! Looks nice !
