Mizuno has long been considered to be the foremost company when it comes to forged club making.
Their latest offering is the MP 60 iron which combines their previous two irons, the MP 32 and MP 30 irons. I’ve had these for about a year now, so the honeymoon time with the new club is over. The mizuno mp60 has the slight cavity of the MP 30 with the Cut Muscle technology introduced in the MP 32. Before these I had the old Mizuno T-Zoid Irons which are very similar, yet somehow Mizuno managed to put more feel and more forgiveness into the Mp-60’s. The unique combination of Cut Muscle with cavity back helps enlarge sweet area. The Mp-60’s are a forged small cavity back irons, but look like blades at address. Forged from mild 1025 carbon steel, the MP 60 has the soft, solid, and consistent feel that Mizuno users know and love. When I decided to go with these, I hit both the Mp-32’s and the Mp-60’s along with various other forged irons. They’re also 4% larger than the MP 32 which works to create a 10% larger sweet spot and make the MP 60 all the more forgiving.
Aesthetically these are very nice looking irons, but the only problem is the inside of the cavity and the cut-muscle have a different finish which can wear off rather quickly. Also, the mizuno mp 60 irons hit the ball somewhat higher in the long irons, and then produce a mid-trajectory in the scoring irons. These irons are forgiving compared to blades, but not so much compared to some of the “game-improvement” irons on the market right now. But take good care of them and they should last for a long time. And as always, the Cut Muscle design puts the center of gravity in the ideal location for a consistent ball flight. They hit the ball very high, and are workable, but not as much as say blades or the Mp-32’s. They know what golfers want and they deliver time and time again. The New MP-60 Irons is the newest iron in this category. The MP-32 Irons took the market by storm and won some awards doing it. Some information come from the golfchannel.com.
Dramatically Enhanced Playability! Introducing the new MP-58 irons with revolutionary Dual Muscle Titanium Technology. The second of the Reading-based company’s new irons in the consistently excellent MP range, the mizuno mp58 perfectly complements the Mizuno MP-68. During the complex grain flow forging process, a high-tech titanium metal is forged into the outer muscle of the iron, which not only delivers the feel, workability and shape every MP player desires. Where the MP-68 is tougher, meaner and leaner, a club that demands absolute respect, the MP-58 is a little more easy going, a little easier to deal with, yet no less compromising. That’s not to say that the MP-58s are a doddle to hit – after all, they’re very much an MP club. It’s a half-cavity, in the vein of predecessors like the MP-30 or MP-60, but instead of steel, the cavity on the MP-58 is filled with a block of titanium.
Overall these irons have been very good to me. I can’t honestly say that I want any other club on the market.
