every mizuno i ever hit including mx-19 and mx-25 felt like if you missed the center by a dimple you were hitting a rock. my brother in law(14hc) has the mp-60's which is gorgeous along with the new mp-57 but i dont get why you guys want to buy an iron that is so hard to hit? i mean i would love to say i use players irons but i dont see any real advantage. what are your guys thoughts on this?

Agreed.

I have the Mizuno MX-19 s, and when I go for a session on the range, I usually take a sheet of 2" x 1" white adhesive labels and stick them on each clubface to see where the dimple-marks show after I've hit 3 or 4 balls per iron. Even with the MX-19s, you really have to nail the ball either centre or slightly above/below. Anything left or right does tend to feel a tad nasty. I've also tested this method with my Dad's Mizuno MX-900s - as far as cavity-backs go, they are great clubs...and the feel off a flush hit isn't too dissimilar to that of a forged blade.

How about curvature? Do you need to hook, slice, draw or fade your irons on demand? Piece of cake with this type of club. Try this- take your Slingshot 5 or 6 iron - drop a ball 160 yards from the green, then try to hit a ball that goes no higher than 10-15 feet in the air and slices and gets to the green 160 yards away. Can't do it.

A slicing ball 10-15' in the air for 160 yards on to the green?

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
