Mizuno make the finest irons in the world, just take a look at their site to see the passion for manufacture. I have had my MP57’s for 4 months and can honestly say I will keep them until they drop apart they are that good.
Last year, I was lucky enough to be able to review both the Mizuno MP-64 and MP-H4 irons. At the time, they were Mizuno’s two newest offerings in the MP line and each brought something different to the party. The 64s were all business and were a true players irons. They had a thin top line, compact head, and little in the way of forgiveness.
Mizuno bills its new MP-52 irons as the most playable MP irons ever, and that seems to be an accurate assessment. One would have to look to the MX line to find more forgiveness, but would sacrifice workability in the process. The MP-52s bridge the gap between the MX and MP lines. There’s an awful lot to like in these irons.
Mizuno MP irons normally come along with two different feels. Many golfers, and better ones especially, love to talk about the soft, buttery, solid feeling that Mizuno irons achieve at impact. On the flip side of that however, is the stinging, painful sensation that normally accompanies poor strikes.
I’m an admitted fan of Mizuno irons. Years back I reviewed the MP-58s and enjoyed them immensely. Before that I’ve gone through other irons from Mizuno such as the T-Zoids. I only strayed from Mizuno once during that time but quickly came back with a lot of success and great iron shots. The pure muscle-back MP-4 from Mizuno keeps the train ...
Mizuno says it helps the titanium flow better and blends the titanium and carbon steel into one solid piece. This was an important feature for getting Luke Donald and Jonathan Byrd to put these irons in play. Early in their careers they both used the irons that are the holy grail of musclebacks, the Mizuno MP-33 irons.
Mizuno irons have long adorned the bags of many good players around the world. A large percentage of the near-scratch guys at my club are playing them and have consistently raved about them. In fact one of them just replaced an old set of MP-32s with a new set of MP-67s, never considering another brand.
Mizuno set out to create a club that fits somewhere between a players iron and a game improvement iron, and from that idea came the MX-300 line of irons. To give you a better idea of the concept behind the MX-300, think “a more forgiving MP iron.”
Mizuno MP irons are typically among the prettiest golf clubs you can play, at least from a major manufacturer. The MP-63s fit into that tradition nicely. From the thin topline to the clean soles sporting only the iron number, the MP-63s look all business, in the same way that a well-crafted bamboo fly rod does.
These irons give the forgiveness of game improvement irons but the feel and playability that the lower handicap golfers prefer. In addition to these irons Mizuno now offers the JPX-825 irons targeted for golfers with a handicap from ten to twenty eight. For this review I was given a set (4-PW) of JPX-825 irons with True Temper Dynalite Gold XP ...
