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.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
