I recently had my clubs stolen so I had to grab new gear. After careful consideration I decided on a set of Mizuno MP 52 irons (I can't buy brand new due to financial restrictions at the moment). The combination of forgiveness, feel and workability sold me on them. I found them on-line in great condition for only $100!!! They arrived via fed-ex today and I'm itching to get to the range. I know I didn't get to test drive them but I owned Mizuno MP 68's before this happened and they were amazing.

Does anyone have any feedback on the MP 52's? If so, I'd like to hear it. Cheers.

Please explain. :-)

Yes Shorty, I wanted something a little more forgiving on mis-hits. I loved my MP 68's but mis-hits were punished fairly harsh. I am a solid ball striker but I came to the conclusion that blades do make a difficult game just that much more difficult. So you were correct in that department even though I could hit them decent; it's the harshness of the mis-hits that I wanted to eliminate. So, cheers and I apologize for any malicious comments that I made in the past.

I just got back from testing out my 8 iron in a hydro field by my house and man what a sweet club. If the whole set is anything like the 8 iron then I'm going to be in Mizzy heaven. I'm looking forward to the pocket cavity/dual muscle in the mid/long irons as well. They came with Dynamic Gold SL S300 shafts as well. I'm going to the range tomorrow so I'll let you guys know how my day goes.

Certainly an easier club to hit than the 68s!

It seems that way with just the 8 iron alone. My first shot was slightly heeled and it was still a good shot with a beautiful trajectory and distance. Obviously I'll know more tomorrow but they're are designed with more forgiveness in mind.

Well, I have to say that the MP 52's are incredible. Very forgiving, beautiful trajectory and no loss in distance compared to my previous game improvement irons. The sweet spot is that perfect "Mizuno Feel" that all Mizuno players talk about and pured shots put a huge smile on your face.

Much more forgiving than MP 68's so I think I'll stick with these babies. The mi to long irons have the dual muscle, pocket groove technology which helps with launch, making them easy to hit and get in the air for a player's iron. The short irons are incredibly solid and the dispersion is very tight. I couldn't be more happy; I was knocking down targets like crazy today.

There's something about a Mizuno MP iron or even a player's iron that makes you WANT to put a good swing on the ba

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I am fascinated by this article. Given so many are upset, I would love to see how the calculations changed for them. In the USA, it likely reduced handicaps, at least for me. In the UK it appears to inflate handicaps but not uniformly?

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
