Using Mizuno's new fitting software my 6i swing speed average was 86mph and a 5 on the tempo scale. It recommended (1) DG S300 or (2) Project X 5.5. I know the S300 are the heavier of the 2, but using the iron face tape I was much more consistent hitting the ball in the center. I also had the iron lie adjusted to 2* upright. I played the MP 32's for years before letting my son use them. Big mistake because I never got them back:-D. So I decided to try the Ping i5's with Project X 5.5 shafts. So, after 3 years I am back in the Mizuno family. When I saw the 69's I knew I had to try them. I can only compare them to the 32's. They seem to be a little larger, but still maintain that great Mizuno blade look and early on seem to be a little more forgiving. Beautiful looking irons. I am by no means a scratch golfer ( probably closer to an 8 used to be 5) and am 58 years old. So don't let the term blades scare you off from playing one of the best irons made IMHO.

Those MP 69's are awesome.  Hit them today along with the MP 63 and MP 52.  Also tried out the Cleveland CG 16 Tour.  The MP 69 was by far the best of that bunch.  Still have some to test out but it will be very hard to beat out the feel and consistancy of the 69's.

I clicked on your hyperlink, but could not figure out how to add the MP 69s to review. I might be missing something.

I tried them with the Project X 5.5's but didn't like them as well as the S300's. Mizuno adds +0.5" with the PX5.5's. Hard to go wrong with any of your choices. Good luck making your final decision.

I am glad I found your post because you have played both. I still play the mp32s that I got the first year they came out. I still love the clubs but they are getting worn. I like them so much that I am a little nervous about trying a new set. Will the mp69s be better in any way or should I just get a less played used set of the 32s. Thanks

Having played 6 rounds with the 69's I would not want to make that call yet one way or the other as the 32's are great clubs. However, I like the design of the 69's better. Both stll deliver that buttery feel on solid contact, but if you made me choose 1 I would pick the 69's. If it were me I would get your 32's refurbished at The Golf Works, get a set of 69's and keep your 32's as a back up set. My son plays with my 32's ( though he now thinks they belong to him). You would make the transition without any trouble.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
