Hello all, New to the forum and looking for some opinions.

I'm in the market for a new set of irons and have narrowed it down to a short list.

The MP 15 and MP 54s made the cut, but I'm having trouble finding much difference between the two, besides the looks and design.

I've hit them both, only the 6 iron, and they didn't perform or feel much different. Haven't found a place that has a full set of demos so I could hit the longer irons...which I suspect may make the difference. With the 54s having the 'milled pocket' I would assume that would help with some forgiveness in the longer irons...can anyone out there confirm this? Specifically compared to the 15s?

I've read multiple reviews on both sets and couldn't find much differences in terms of Forgiveness, Workability and Feel in the opinions of users/reviewers...but didn't see any comparisons done between these two.

Anyone care to opine?

Thanks

Haven't played with either but the 15's win in the looks department imho. Can't really go wrong though.

Can't go wrong with Mizuno irons if these will fit your game. The 54 looks better IMO.

I believe the MP 54 has a little more offset, especially in the longer irons. As you stated, the MP 54 would also be a little more forgiving

Going to hit both of them again today, maybe I'll just get both.

4,5,6 in the 54s and 7-P with the 15s.

I think i'm starting to think about it too much. Might have to pull the trigger this weekend.

I wouldn't say you're over thinking it. I was going to go with a mixed set of forgiving long irons and blade-like scoring irons, then I found the MP H4 set which was just what I wanted.

Just ordered some MP 15s, went with the whole set since I was hitting them so good. Ended up fitting for dynamic gold x100, and hopefully they will be what I've needed. Looking forward to hitting them in the next week or so

Update, in case anyone is interested.

have 5 rounds in with my new MP-15s and am loving them. Am scoring good and now trending at a 2.9 going to be my lowest index yet.

Shot my course best 74 last weekend and gearing up for the club championship in a couple weeks. Hope to do well.

Thought the fitting system Mizuno has is great. As well as all the shaft options. If not for that, I'd probably still be playing a lighter, more flexible shaft than I am now. Although I can't be sure the shafts are the reason I'm hitting better or just the confidence I have over the ball now.

Either way, i'm enjoying the new sticks.

Nice.

I'm just jealous of all the right handed players getting a choice of all the Mizuno models. Oh well, the MP-25 and MP-S5 I hear will be available for lefties . Too bad no MP-15, though.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
