Mizuno MP-57 Irons

Mizuno MP-57 Irons 

DESCRIPTION

The New MP-57TM irons are a crowning achievement in the evolution of MIZUNO's award-winning Grain Flow Forging® and Cut MuscleTM technologies. The Product Development team undertook the task of making the MP-57's the first MP iron with a Full Cavity, resulting in a significantly larger sweet area than any other iron in the history of the MP line. Along with increased forgiveness, the MP-57's produce a slightly higher ball flight in the long irons, and a mid trajectory in the scoring irons. They also deliver the solid feel and shot making ability that the MP iron player craves. Most importantly, the MP-57's achieve all these playing aspects, yet in a classic head profile that appeals to better players.

The ideal combination of solid feel and workability, with unbelievable forgiveness, make the MP-57s the most playable MP irons ever.

Features

* First ever Full Cavity MP iron for increased forgiveness with a reinforcing muscle pad for enhanced feel.
* Innovative Cut MuscleTM design provides ideal COG location, perfect trajectory, enhanced solid feel, and complete ball control.
* Exclusive Grain Flow Forged®, 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel provides the ultimate soft, solid, consistent feel.
* Durable Double nickel chrome plated finish.
* Modified U-grooves produce the ideal spin rate, for maximum playability in all conditions.
* Rolled leading edge, cambered mid-sole, and rolled trailing edge deliver consistent striking ability from all types of lies.

I purchased these clubs this year from my local pro at my home course. I previously had the mx-23's. I found that it was time to make the move because I was able to shape shots finally. All I can say is "WOW" these irons are buttery soft, extremely forgiving and accurate as a laser! I have noticed at times I have to drop a club (old 9 iron is now an 8) but this might be because I am hitting the ball much cleaner (alot less skulling). If you are looking to take your game to the next level look no further!!!!!!!!

dumped my Callaway x20 tours for these and what a great move it was. Feel is great and accuracy is much improved. No loss of distance and if anything gained 5 yards per club. went with s300 shaft - no need for project x unless you are on tour - ball flight plenty high with s300. icing on cake - beautiful irons to stand over and carry in your bag.

Great sticks. I recently switched from being a Titleist guy (735's) and couldn't be happier with the move. I have the DG S300 shafts and the ball flight is perfect for me. I've also noticed that these tend to be more durable when it comes to nicks and dings from "bag chatter." I can't say that about other forged irons. In my book the forgiveness to feedback ratio is excellent.

I spent a great deal of time researching what irons I wanted to try and possibly buy. Being left handed it was challenging to say the least. I settled on one of the three Mizuno irons the MP-32,57,or 60. I was in Arizona in March and was able to hit the 57's and the 32's in a simulator at the PGA Super Store. I liked them both but you can't really tell unless you hit them out side. Back in Minnesota I went to the big golf show and talked to the Mizuno rep and arranged to have him ship to my club a 9 iron and a 6 iron from all three sets to try. To my horror he only sent a MP-57 6 iron. I was told more to follow. They never showed up. So I put the 6 iron in my bag and used it for a month. Plus I hit a ton of balls with it. I got tired of waiting and decided to buy the MP-57's. I got fit which was no easy matter with just one standard 6 iron. It all worked out I got the irons with Project X 5.5 shafts. I absolutely love them. Great feel, accuracy,and enough distance. I still wish I could have tried the other irons but when you're left handed you are screwed. There wasn't one set of new MP-32's or 60's to be found in the Twin Cities. I figured I couldn't go wrong with the 57's most of the guys working in the golf stores had purchased this iron and had nothing but good things to say. Good feel and just enough forgiveness. They sure beat my I-3's

I haven't had to deal with customer service but the Minnesota Rep didn't follow through.

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: MP-57

I received my MP-57's two weeks ago and I have put them through about 400 swings on the range.

I must say that these clubs are sweet. I normally shoot mid 80's and I was wondering if this might be to much club for me. Those doubts were put to rest as the clubs were forgiving, long, and had a nice soft feel. I was able to work the ball pretty easily with slight draws and fades. I would recommend these clubs for the mid handicapper looking to improve there game but also have a club that thye can grow into for a long time to come.

Customer Service

Excellent. I got fitted and the cubs were delivered to my door with no issues.

Great feel. I nice "click" on solid hits. Ball flight a little high on the 5.5's but managable. Toe hits loss considerable distance, however, a little off center does not punish. Great club.

Model Reviewed: Mizuno MP-57

I had been playing with TaylorMade's burner irons for the last ten years. Three weeks ago, I switched to Mizuno's MP-57. Based on the two rounds and some practice sessions at the range, I am safely conclude that these are best irons I have ever hit. If you have a consistent swing, there is nothing like hitting with these irons. As the ball sails into the air, you barely feel the iron connecting with the ball.

Well done, Mizuno!!!

I bought these for the preferred player look at set-up (a real confidence builder) and the feel of forged. It really seems to motivate better ball striking. The clubs have just the right amount of forgiveness. Get fitted and pay special attention to the shaft.
I don't have an especially fast swing speed, 95 on driver, but I load the shaft more than average because I swing hard. I bought these with the Project X 5.0 and find it a great fit. My trajectory and distance is about the same as others but there seems to be a marked improvement in shot dispersion and that is a real edge.

I purchased the MP-57's with the Project X shafts at a local Golf Show in February. I paid $630 before tax. I have taken the clubs out to the range a couple of times, but have not yet had them on the course as the weather has not been cooperative.
My initial reaction is that the ball flight is quite high, much higher even than my super game improvement Cleveland Launchers that they replace. They are at least 20 yards longer also. I am taking them to the indoor simulator this weekend to try to get a feel for exactly how much longer they are. When hit in the sweet spot, I can't imagine there is any better feel. Very buttery and sweet.
I shoot in the 90's and bought these clubs in hopes of being able to work the ball more than the launchers. Miss hits do tend to go off center more than the launchers, but I believe the ball would still be playable on most courses. Overall, I am very pleased with these clubs and would highly recommend them. I'm looking forward to getting on the course with them.

My swing speed is borderline S so I got these clubs with Dynalite gold SL (parallels) S300. These are fantastic and work very well with the weight of the heads. If you're moving from graphites to steel I stongly recommend trying these shafts.

Anyway, the clubs are very playable whilst providing honest feedback. I cannot recommend these highly enough for a (good) mid to low handicaper... If you have a stable swing you can use these clubs to great effect.

Note: the tour grind sole can be a little challenging at first if you're not use to them but give it a little time and they are fine. =)
