In these days, the Mizuno MP-69 irons have stepped into our world. I can not control myself to have a test with them. To be honest, I think they are a little expensive; as a result, I just have a try. I will add them into my bag until they cost less. However, they are really excellent Cheap Golf Clubs Sale.
The new 4D muscle pad on the back of the MP-69′s clubhead, strategically places the weight progressively through the set to produce easier-to-hit long irons with a slightly higher ball flight than before, whilst the shorter irons remain cleaner and more compact with a high center of gravity for improved trajectory control. The MP-69s offer great levels of feedback thanks to Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forged clubheads, which produce an improved impact sound and feel. Lastly, the Mizuno MP-69s feature an evolved sole design with a more beveled trailing edge for cleaner turf interaction.
The sole shape of the MP-69 irons was slightly redesigned to maintain effective bounce while increasing overall workability through trailing edge relief. An ideally placed beveled trailing edge delivers more consistent ball striking with a Tour proven sole size and shape. Complete with the appropriate amount of relief for a deeper Center of Gravity (COG), Mizuno’s new sole design increases the versatility of the MP-69 irons. Modified U-grooves, which conform to the Condition of Competition 2010, produce the ideal spin rate for maximum playability in all conditions.
Generally speaking, Grain Flow Forged from 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel, the Mizuno MP-69 irons provide the feel and consistency that Mizuno players demand. They feature a 4-D muscle design that ensures ideal Center of Gravity placement in each iron, creating a more penetrating and workable trajectory for improved flight control. Improved face-to-ball interaction is achieved through a strategically paled trailing edge bevel.
The MP-69 is a pure Mizuno muscle back. Evolved from the highly acclaimed MP-68, the newer model leans to the clean look of Mizuno’s legendary blades. With the same playing profile and offset as its predecessor, the MP-69 takes few risks with its Tour following. A slightly more pronounced toe is a feature influenced from Mizuno’s original Japanese models. By the way,Mizuno MP-59 Irons 3-9 P is another new golf clubs.
About Me
- Mizuno MP-59
- The MP-59, the next evolution of our award winning Ti Muscle Technology, delivers full cavity forgiveness in a player’s half cavity design. During the elaborate Grain Flow Forging process, the pure Titanium material is forged into the muscle of the ゴルフクラブ 5% larger Sweet Area compared to the MP-58, the iron that debuted Ti Muscle Technology while taking home "Editor’s Choice" in Golf Digest’s 2010 Hot List. The lightweight characteristics of the pure Titanium allow for the ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area to deliver consistent solid feel while simultaneously providing a dramatic increase in perimeter weighting for enhanced playability. To date, only Mizuno’s patented Grain Flow Forging process can deliver this technological advancement that produces these amazing gains in forgiveness, all within a compact, traditional head shape.

Devil Ball Proving Ground: Mizuno’s MP-59 irons
Welcome to Devil Ball’s Proving Ground, where we put the latest golf equipment through its paces. Today we get a chance to look at some of the best new irons out there in the Mizuno MP-59s.
Tester — Shane Bacon — Handicap: 1.9
Target golfing audience — +2 – 13 handicaps
When I first started chatting with the Mizuno people about getting some irons to review, I was excited. The new MP line was coming out and their MP-69s looked exactly like the blades I once had owned in my Titleist 690-MBs. It’s true, nobody, not even Tiger Woods, needs to hit blades with the technology out there these days, but having those in the bag is just cool. Sadly, the curse of the southpaw got me, as I was informed the 69s wouldn’t be molded lefty.
The disappointed lasted until the box of 59s arrived. A “full cavity forgiveness in a player’s half cavity design” as their site informs us, the 59s are exactly what I was looking for. Playing 18 holes with my uncle, the most popular cart partner in my golfing Rolodex, confirmed it. He admitted that carrying these irons would get more of the “player that thinks he needs blades even though he doesn’t” group interested, because they’re just so darn good looking without all the additions that can make certain irons look clunky.
Initial Thought
No golfer will ever say that pulling new clubs out of the box is a bad experience. Getting a new golf club is the spa treatment of the golfing world, and the first impression is always an important thing.
My first thought? Beautiful. They’re astonishingly well made, as I’ve always heard Mizuno irons were, and I was so impressed with the simple look and feel right out of the box that I was disappointed I don’t have a local night range in the area.
Transitioning
My old irons were the first generation Titleist AP-2s, a bit larger than the 59s I got in the mail. It might seem like going to a smaller iron would be a tough transition, but I actually started hitting these great right off the bat. The main reason? How easy I felt they setup over the ball.
The other crazy thing? I actually am hitting them about a half-club farther. With my old irons, I would hit a 7-iron about 180, but this one is flying anywhere between 185 and 190. It has taken some getting used to, (mostly mentally convincing myself that “yes, a 7-iron from this distance is the right club”) but I was surprised at how long they are.
Playability
The thing you need with a good set of irons is something you can mis-hit. A very good playing friend of mine once told me that you hit about three or four GOOD shots a round, so it’s really just playing those foul balls all day. That’s what makes a decent player good, and a good player great. You have to be able to play your bad shots.
I loved that about these 59s. The mis-hits are workable. Unlike blades, that force you to lotion up your hands after a bad shot, the ball goes just as true when you don’t catch it as solid.
As my game continues to deteriorate, that’s something I really need, and I’m glad these provide that.
Final Verdict
I love them. I love them so much. I’ve played about five rounds with them and get more comfortable each time. On Monday, out on the golf course, I had a moment where I wanted to “chip” a 9-iron to a distance I could easily hit a pitching wedge. Normally these are the shots I pull, because the swing shortens, you get your weight to the other side quickly, and things break down. With the way these irons lay down, I just put my weight forward, made a soft swing, and BAM, hit the ball to eight-feet.

Mizuno releases the MP-59 irons
Golf club makers fell in love with titanium because it's stronger and lighter than steel. That means designers can make thinner driver faces, which creates discretionary weight that can be repositioned in other areas to improve performance.
But with the release of the new MP-59 irons, Mizuno uses titanium for a completely different purpose—forgiveness.
While the MP-59 is made from steel, 12 grams of titanium are forged into a pocket behind the face of each club. (It's the slightly darker material in the photo above.) Mizuno says the titanium allows the clubs to maintain the ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area for solid feel while automatically redistributing the weight to the heel, toe and sole of the club.
"The more you push the weight out to the perimeter and the thinner you make it in the middle, there's a trade-off with feel," says David Llewellyn, research and development manager for Mizuno USA. "But by using a lower density material we can maintain thickness here and build in a little bit of forgiveness."
Llewellyn says that like all the other MP irons, the MP-59 has very little offset and a thin topline because that's what better players demand.
In fact, the heads of the MP-59 irons are slightly smaller than last season's MP-58, the first irons released with this feature that Mizuno calls Ti Muscle. Yet Mizuno claims the clubs have a sweet spot that is 5 percent larger.
"The MP-58 has a titanium piece that is fairly uniform along the back," says Llewellyn. "On the MP-59 we focused the titanium right in the middle." That should make them perform better on mis-hits than their predecessors, he said.
The MP-59 irons will come standard with True Temper Dynamic Gold steel shafts for 9 and start arriving in pro shops Sept. 6.

Mizuno MP-59 Irons and MP 53 Irons
Today, I will tell you two discount golf clubs. They are very great!
Mizuno MP-59 Irons
The Mizuno MP-59 is an evolution of the succesful MP-58 model. With the Ti weight added to the MP-59, off-center strikes will benefit from even greater stability. The appearance of the MP-59s is also improved by reducing the offset as a result of this improved stability.
The heads of the MP-59 irons are slightly smaller than last season’s MP-58, the first irons released with this feature that Mizuno calls Ti Muscle.The MP-59′s center of gravity also remains close to the clubface – allowing ball strikers to produce controlled draws and fades. Yet Mizuno claims the clubs have a sweet spot that is 5 percent larger.
The MP-59 features a lightweight Titanium insert forged directly into the back of the clubhead. The thicker Ti Muscle material behind impact ensures that the centre of gravity is located closer to the clubface, which allows better players the ability to work shots whilst still offering the forgiveness of the cavity-back design.
Mizuno MP 53 Irons
This unique grind provides a thinner top line for an eye pleasing look at address. Mizuno’s patented Grain Flow Forging process and these advanced design technologies combine in the MP-53 to optimize feel, playability, and performance.
Introducing the new MP-53 irons featuring a Diamond Muscle design and “V” slot Milled Pocket Cavity™. Checking all the boxes required to be an MP model, the MP-53 has the head size, playing profile, and top line to please even the most demanding shotmakers. But what sets this MP iron apart is an innovative CNC milled Pocket Cavity which removes 14 grams of weight. This weight is strategically redistributed around the cavity to achieve the largest sweet area ever in an MP iron, delivering maximum playability while remaining extremely versatile.
In addition, the MP-53 irons were scientifically designed through Mizuno’s use of Modal Analysis and Harmonic Impact Technology, which perfectly tunes the sound of impact to deliver the ultimate in feel. Paying close attention to how the sole interacts with the turf, Mizuno applied a 360° grind on the back cavity for increased shot making ability.

Mizuno MP-59 Irons 3-9 P--- This is your best choice
The Texas A&M men’s golf team continues its whirlwind fall schedule this week when the Aggies participate in the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate at Royal Oaks Country Club.
A&M will face off against a strong 14-team field that includes two-time defending national champion Augusta State, Army, Duke, Houston, Iowa, Lamar, Missouri, New Mexico, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Tulsa, and co-hosts SMU and Baylor. The first two rounds will take place on Monday with the third and final round set for Tuesday at the par-71, 7,068-yard course.
“We love Royal Oaks,” head coach J.T. Higgins said. “We think it’s a great golf course, it’s good for us and we have a pretty good game plan for it and how to attack it. The tournament features a pretty good field, there are a lot of teams here that have had success. Arkansas is here, they’ve already won two or three tournaments and are a really good top-10 team. Iowa is back, they won it last year and beat us by a few strokes last week in Atlanta. UNLV has already won a tournament this year, and they’re in it.”
The tournament will be the third in as many weeks for the Aggies, who most recently posted a ninth-place finish at the U.S. Collegiate Championship last week outside Atlanta. A&M won the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate in both 2008 and 2009, golf clubs for sale and posted a runner-up finish at a rain-shortened event last fall.
Sophomore Johannes Veerman will lead the team into play this week fresh off his first career victory, earning co-medalist honors at the USCC with a 6-under 210. The Sugar Land native has a team-best 71.00 stroke average and has gone par or better in five of six rounds this season. The rest of the Aggie contingent will feature All-Americans Jordan Russell (73.67) and Cameron Peck (74.00), redshirt freshman Greg Yates and senior Geoff Shaw. Yates and Shaw will be seeing their first action of the season. In addition, sophomore Jade Scott (73.67) will compete as an individual.
“I know the guys are excited and want to get back out there,” Higgins said. “They feel like they’ve got something to prove and that we’re a lot better than we’ve shown so far. They want to get back out and compete and we’ll have a good week.”
A&M will be paired with Baylor and Augusta State in the first two rounds and will tee off in a shotgun start beginning at 8:30 a.m.
For Aggie fans interested in attending, Royal Oaks is located just east of Central Expressway (US 75) on Greenville Avenue. The course sits south of LBJ Freeway (I-635) between Royal Lane and Meadow Road.

Mizuno MP-59 Irons Review
Mizuno's MP-59 Irons out did themselves
Mizuno has done it yet again, astounding me with their newest MP iron series. The Mizuno MP-59's are by far one of the best clubs I have held in my hand. One of the things that impressed me most about this club was it's ability to forgive a little a bit more than most other clubs. I believe the key factor in this is that it has a little bit bigger sweet spot on it, and it has about 12 grams of titanium added into the head.
With this new design it gives the more experienced players more control over the maneuverability of their shot. When I had hit the 5 iron for my first time, I could definitely notice the stability I had when my shots were a little off, thus improving my game. In my opinion what they did with the Grain flow forging was absolutely brilliant. The smoothness when striking the ball with that technology in mind was incredible and very noticeable. Now the Gold steel shaft they used for the club was an absolutely great idea as well, considering it is by far one of the best shafts in the industry.
Now if your a little less experienced golf player it might take you a little bit to adjust to them but eventually you will grow to love them and not want to trade them in until the next model in the MP iron set. Now if your just starting out then I would suggest working your way up to these clubs. Mizuno definitely went all out for this club and I am entirely happy with the way it performed and handled in the field. So if I were you I would at least go to your local pro shop and give them a swing around, and see what you think.
