Mizuno MP 58 Irons Review

Are you still plagued by finding new clubs to adorn your bags? The shining Mizuno MP line will give you a big surprise. Mizuno MP58 Irons, its revolutionary new product, are many golfers’ favorite! Today golf clubs for salewill take you to review the hot club in 2011.

Build and TechnologyThe Mizuno MP58 Irons have a build you would expect from Mizuno. Very solid and classic – while infusing some new technology. To develop the MP-58 iron, Mizuno uses a high-tech titanium metal during the forging of the outer muscle of the iron. This enhances the feel, workability and shape of the club. The lightweight titanium also allows for an ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area to promote the soft, solid, consistent feel while increasing the perimeter weighting for playability.

The other parts of the build include the optimization of impact, sound, and feel by utilizing Modal Analysis, which means measuring and analyzing the vibration of the head when struck by another object. Take a look at this video to see an example of what I’m talking about.

One other big design feature in the MP-58 set is that they have modified U-grooves that conform to the new condition of competition rules for 2010 while still providing spin and maximum playability. All of Mizuno’s new designs conform to the new rule, basically ending the square groove run started years ago.

Look and FeelOne of the most underrated parts of a club is its look and feel. The look can inspire good mental thoughts and the feel and feedback will reinforce them. While the Mizuno MP58 Irons may not look as simple or pure as a traditional blade, there might not be a better looking dual muscle club out there. The feel impresses even more and is exactly what you’d expect out of a Mizuno club.

From the top and the face of the club, it is very hard to distinguish the MP-58 from nearly any other blade out there. It has a thin top line at address similar to my current blades. Also the size is very similar. If anything, the MP-58s are slightly larger. The good thing is that it is barely noticeable and has no effect on the feel of the club.

The bottom of the Mizuno MP58 Irons are just as similar to a blade as the top. In fact it is hard to distinguish between any of the 50- or 60-series clubs when they are in a bag looking up at you. Only the Mizuno logo near the heel and the number of the club towards the toe stamp the bottom of Mizuno’s game-enhancement irons.

At the back is where the club differs most from other irons. From the top and front, the look is forged but the back is where the dual-muscle backing stands out. The bottom of the back is thicker than the top and features a small cutout that is embossed with the Mizuno name. There is a smooth transition to the thin top that has only a couple of ridges that are visually appealing. The top of the toe is adorned with the MP-58 name.

The feel of the MP-58 is quite nice too. There wasn’t a noticeable difference in weight, which is good if you are transitioning clubs. Not only does the MP-58 look like my forged blades, they felt like them at setup and through the swing.

PerformanceWith the Mizuno MP58 Irons looking and feeling as good as they did, I was hoping they would perform at a high level too. It took a few swings on the range but once I got in a groove there was no doubt.

On the longer irons it was more of the same. There was a higher launch angle and very similar distances. If anything, the Mizuno MP58 Irons could have been a bit longer. What I started to notice a lot more on the longer irons was the forgiveness of these irons. I hit a few shots fat or on the toe and did not lose nearly the distance I would have with the 695s. One memorable one I could have sworn I hit so fat that the ball would have gone maybe only three quarters of the way to the target but the ball nearly carried where some of my normal shots went. I was extremely pleased in this respect. I may carry a low handicap but all of us can benefit from this type of feature in our irons.
