I never saw these before. A friend of mine just got these. They have to be some of the best looking irons I've ever seen. Anybody have them. I didn't ask to hit them, cause they were a week old. Opinions?

they are nice, some of the best blades out there currently IMO. Im pretty convinced my next set of irons in a few years or so are going to be mizuno but the new line of Nike 2011 irons are looking pretty nice. I dont think I would take the plunge on them but I would really love to have a set of the new 2011 nikes on the side. They look good!

They are awesome! My wife bought me a set for christmas last year and I still love them. They are much mor forgiving than you would think and the feel off these clubs is incredible. This was my first set of blades and there has yet to be a round where I wish I was hitting any other irons. For better or worse, you know exactly what the ball is doing as soon as it leaves your clubface. They are definitely worth trying and if you don't like them, you will have no problem selling them!

They are indeed beautiful irons. I wish that Mizuno will come out with a combo set that incorporated blades and cavitiy's like Nike just recently did.

yea i guess it would be nice for alot of people just not sure what it would replace. They would have to introduce a whole new line i think. I prefer all blades anyway as I seem to hit them just as well as cavity back, actually i think I hit my 3 iron mp-32 better than any cavity back 3 Ive hit before.

Oh god, I just saw they come in black nickel! This is getting bad!

Where did you see this? Mizuno's websites say "Durable double nickel chrome plated finish". Black nickel would be nice....

I take back my own question...on further digging I found they do offer the choice on Mizuno's Europe website, but not in the US. Hmmm, I've got some more international business travel coming up - I may have to go club shopping in the UK.

As a owner of the MP 68's this couldn't be said any better.

My friend who shoots in the 100's has them in the bag and I am quietly waiting til he realizes he needs more forgiving irons. They look so pretty in his bag and the short/mid irons really aren't much harder to hit than mine.

There are a number of UK online golf stores that will sell and ship to US customers. Although the current exchange rate probably isn't in your favor.

I think that mp 52/53 does this.

What do you mean? By progressive, I mean like this -->

http://golf.about.com/od/equipmentre...uip100710a.htm The MP 52 and 53 are two different designs.

The MP-53s have pocket cavities in the longer irons and progress to a muscle cavity in the shorter irons. You can also order a mixed set of 53s and 63s if you like.





The MP-52's also went from a slot to a muscle pad from the 8 iron on up. We now return you to your regular MP-68 programming.

To the OP, don't be fooled no blade can be that good....

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
