[QUOTE name="Valleygolfer" url="/t/65832/why-are-the-mizuno-mp-33s-so-good#post_964749"]   [QUOTE name="Lihu" url="/t/65832/why-are-the-mizuno-mp-33s-so-good#post_964626"] I guess I should also add that I saw someone hitting MP33, and he insisted on making himself miserable hitting a 2 iron. He hit the face pretty cleanly, but was lucky to get 120 yards with it. I don't think he hit down on it enough to compress the ball. Honestly, there is no way I could hit these clubs even left handed. I am concluding that you need to be a pro or +2 handicap to really hit this club, and enjoy it.[/QUOTE] You can't try to hit the 2, it has to be a smooth swing. I am probably 80/20 on it. 80 percent of the time it is solid. 20 percent of the time it rattles you with a 120 yarder. Toe hits are usually the painful ones. [/QUOTE] Yeah, MP33 is really hard to hit well. They might be only good as a collectors item for me. I'll probably stick with my MP-32, until I get something like the i25, S55 or MP-54? The only thing I don't like about Mizuno is their minimal offering to lefties, which is why I like Ping.

I was shopping the MP54s, but like the AP2s a little more. I like ping but not sure if I want to buy another set again.

AP2 seem really good, too. I tested a 6i, and liked it.

I've been playing the mp33's for 13 yrs now. The feel of the clubs when you hit it in the middle is the same as any other blade, like a fluffy cloud giving you a nice handshake if a cloud had a hand. I actually was not impressed with the 32's, found they were a clunky feel but that could have just been myself hitting a club that weighed and felt different in my hands. Technology for blades won't progress enough to know the difference.

The MP-33's were the best irons I've ever owned. I wore out 2 sets and was on my 3rd by the time life caught up with me and I decided to get something less demanding. They're deserving of every Mizuno cliche. 

If I ever come across a new or like new set, I will probably buy them just for nostalgia sake.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
