I bought these set of Mizuno MP-14 from someone on Craigslist about two months ago. The previous owner took good care of the clubs because the clubheads were all really clean and barely had any dents and chips. Now I've recently noticed that on the 3-iron, there is a small gap forming between the iron and the black plastic thing that I think helps hold the head to the shaft.

Anyways, its probably easier to understand what I'm talking about by just looking at the picture. All my other irons do not have this little gap between the little black thing and the clubhead. BTW I am able to move the black thing slightly so that I could lessen the gap, but the gap will still come back.

Should I be concerned?

That's the ferrule, a cosmetic plastic sleeve. Put in a drop of superglue and push it back into place.

Yea those are real. My friend also uses a set of MP-14, in a little worse shape. They look and feel exactly the same. I was also surprised by the good condition that they are in. The previous owner did not use it too often and if he did he would clean it after every round (which is what I have been doing as well) Which brings me to question should I resell these for a large profit? How much do you think they would be worth?

Resell? Profit? Just sell them already. There's a Mizzy fanboy out there somewhere who'd actually use them.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
