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.

      Rory McIlroy Will Never Win the Masters

      By saevel25 ·

      I was just thinking about this. 60 majors played in since 2010. 42% of them top 10 finishes. 22% top 5 finishes. My goodness, 9 straight top 10 finishes at the US Open, regarded as the toughest course set up for the Majors. WTH!  That is different than jacked, so no.  No, it doesn't. It is tough to win majors. He is in rare company by winning the career grand slam.  It is much tougher to win majors in the 2010+ years than it was prior.  Look at the most majors list. If you cut it off at 5+ majors. There are 21 golfers ever to have 5+ majors. 17 of them won their first major prior to 1987.  Maybe you could say he should have two more if things go his way. I don't think he should be near 10 or anything like that. 5 is reasonable at this point. He is tied for 15th ever. He probably has like 20 to 28 more competitive major rounds in him.  Maybe in like the short term yes, but he would have gotten used to it in short order. He is a world class athlete in the golfing world. His ability to feel his golf swing is nearly unmatched. To say that him getting a bit bigger in 2014 has impacted him over the next 11 years, without him just figuring it out is really an absurd statement.  Tiger Woods changed his swing like 3x and was elite. He got bigger, not jacked, and was elite.  We are not talking about Olympic weightlifters here, or jacked body-builders. FYI, doing weightlifting through a full range of motion gives you more flexibility. Do you want to know who can get into the deepest squats in the world, people with gigantic legs, the Olympic weightlifters. Want to know who can't get down into a deep squat, lazy people who don't work out.  Could muscle mass as the "extreme" side of things cause some interference in a particular golf motion, sure. Rory isn't even close to being that size.  Yea, it could be mental. Sometimes you just need to get over the hump again even though you have 4 majors in your pocket. You only get 4 chances a year at this. You have to be on your game to have a chance on Sunday. So, for the stars to align for him to have the chances to even learn from his mistakes is not that much. Being T-5, 6 strokes back and not having that pressure on the Sunday is not a learning experience on how to close out a tournament. It makes sense why it could take this long. Also, he is playing against other good golfers. Sometimes, the best golfers in the world get beat. Nope, it isn't. I would agree it was loss of confidence or nerves, plus other golfers just taking it from him than it being related to him working out. I am actually willing to say, it is 0.0000000000000000000000001% related to him working out. So, round that off to ZERO!  Let's not play the victim card here.  He wasn't able to bomb it 330 yards prior to 2014 because he was a kid who still had baby fat on him.  Look at the rolling 10 round average since he started. It looks pretty typical. Lots of ups and downs because you can't be on all the time. Even back in 2014, he never really had a 10 round average were his stroke's gained approach was negative. If you say his size causes him issues, then there should be something crazy here. The dips in 2014 on look the same. Did he have some early year crazy spikes, sure. Sometimes a golfer catches fire for a year. There are things call outliers for a reason.  So, this is probably why you started this. You dislike Rory and want to wish it into existence that he would never win another Master.  Again, you are not the victim here, so stop these self-deprecating comments to try to buy some sympathy.
