Mizuno MP-60 Irons Review
I've just ordered a set of( MP-60 irons )with TTDG SuperLites, R300 – 1 degree up and +1/2″ long. Guess this will be a two part review, a before and after thing.
I've been a Ping Eye2 user for 16 years and since my handicap has dropped since buying them (I'm now a 9) I wanted to try something different – a forged "players" club with more feel and workability, with that soft "butter" feel when hit well. I opted out of blades as I thought that would be too big a jump for an old cavity-back boy. So, I looked at several sudo-cavity models and narrowed it down to Titleist 735's, Callaway X-Tour's, Mizuno MP-32's, or the MP-60's. The 735 were nice, but had a very harsh feel even when hitting the sweet spot – no butter there (but I still love my Vokey's). The X's were also nice to hit, but didn't have the workability I was looking for – and certainly weren't worth the asking price.
That narrowed it to the MP-32's and 60's. Did a lot of reading about these – according to most pro's and iron-junkies (and my bro-in-law who's a PGA teaching pro), these are the holy-grail of forged irons (and also according to legend – Tiger and Ernie used these before being swayed by greed and the darkside of the force).
To be honest, they're both schweet. I hit them several times over several weeks, even did some blind tests (taped ‘m both so you couldn't identify them – tried the 3, 6, 7, and 8 irons). They look the same in set-up, but the 60's have a bit thicker top-line – nothing to get excited over though. Now, I really wanted to buy the 32's because of all the "club of the year" hype, the fact that they almost look like a blade, and because of how nice they look. But the more I compared the two, the more I couldn't justify buying a "good looking" club over one that gave me the same (if not better) feel and workability, but with more forgiveness. Mind you, it's not much of a difference, but you can tell the 32 from the 60 on mis-hits. I even tried to justify in my mind the popular combo set (3-7 in 60's and 8-PW in 32's), but there's even a difference in 8 irons when you don't hit them solid.
So, the (MP-60 irons) are going in the bag. I'll report back on how they actually measure-up after hitting them for a few rounds….
Ok, here's part two of the review after 108 holes of golf at Myrtle Beach.<!-- / message -->
Setting up with these clubs is a breeze. Even the "thin" 3-iron top line wasn't an issue. Actually looked "natural," even after hitting the larger Ping heads for so many years.
It appears that these sticks have about the same distance as my Ping's but with a higher trajectory (was playing in 50 to 55 degree weather, so maybe a bit more distance….we'll see as Spring/Summer roll around) – distance control hitting into the greens was better (not as much roll). I suspect that the carbon steel heads being softer are the reason there was no increase in distance even though these clubs are slightly stronger in lofts than the Pings. I would definitely recommend getting fit before buying these clubs to make sure you get the right shaft to maximize distance (I'm glad I extended the shaft 1/2″ and got the R300's in Super Lite weight – otherwise I think distance loss would have been significant).
The u-groove design seems to help the ball stop a bit quicker. I also found that working the ball was much easier than with the Ping's – a gentler cut or draw. Great control with consistent ball flight. Again, I think getting fit and correcting my lie angle helped here.
You will know when you mis-hit this club – not a "sting" to the hands though. Some loss of distance but the ball still goes straight (Glad I opted for the MP-60's and not the MP-32's). But when you hit it well, it does indeed feel like "butter" and has that nice crisp feel.
So, I'd say to this point I'm satisfied with the selection Will give more feed-back in the months to come….
