Mp-68

[Gerald]

I bought the MP-57 about a month ago and I kind of just had less time to practice as much as I was planning, still I am not striking the ball aswell as I did with my Ping i15 irons, but when hitted well it feels as if they are a bit more on target.

My playing partner must have been quite impressed by the Mizuno's ...... when I met him at the driving range, he was hitting some new irons, MP-68 ....... When I bought the MP-57 I did't even dare to look at these, but today I hit his new irons very well from the practice grounds.

Not as big a difference as I expected !

Hitting a blade isn't nearly as difficult as some, possibly most, might lead you to believe. They're not the scary irons that they've been made out to be.

Not todays blades anyway. The butter knives that players 30 years ago hit are quite different.

Blades were hard to hit until MacGregor's M series from the 1950s. Then all clubmakers made reasonably playable blades. MacGregor's early 70s stuff was not so good (garbage?) and a lot of 80s stuff was almost hard to hit on purpose - weird. The early 90s Mizunos are fantastic (MP-14 and MP-29 especially) and now they're amazing. Still though - harder to hit consistently than the same club with a bit more perimiter weighting.

Blades are easier to hit, but it's really not for everyone.

For me, it's all about ball flight when I hit my irons. My ball flight has a lot more consistent when I hit irons with some forgiveness. I can hit a blade, too, but it requires a bit more effort and my ball flight changes dramatically when I mishit the shot a little bit.

GolfWorks makes a blade iron that fits nicely into the "game improvement" category. I forget which one.

SO you found the Holy Grail of clubs.
