Mizuno MP 57's...my next set of clubs

[RichF]

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?
