FOUND A UNICORN AFTER 6 YEARS OF LOOKING!

[naj959]

Didn't know 53's were so popular. A local course in my area closed doors and had a new, in plastic set for $450 if I recall. Thought nothing of it at the time.

[elwhippy]

Two words. Feel. Control. A great set of clubs.

where. Impossible. 3-PW S300 all stock?

 

[tigerfan23]

having the best iron striking rounds right now. I LOVE these clubs.

 

[musclefront]

Playing Mizuno cavity backs is like drinking non alcoholic beer WHATS THE POINT....just kidding (kinda ha)

 

That said there’s nothing like finding what you’re looking for and USING them. Congrats and ENJOY!!

I had a basically new set just sold and multiple sets of these over years remembered why I sold them too short.

His are lefty.

[MK7Golf21]

In 2010, at a golf store I found a brand new set of mp32 in plastic. Bought those on the spot.

[Ben Berube]

Awesome and congrats. Maybe it was a timing thing. Maybe wife had you save. Or maybe you just hadn’t gotten around to finding them. Either way its a great forum and love readin about it.

I actually have a set of MP60’s on the way. But still play CG1 Tours which are so hard to get out of my bag. (I know)

Congrats and hope to ready about more on here.

I just took a second look and the OP's irons are righty ??? or is the pic reversed ?

[Kingcat990]

What's sad, is how far off the 54's were from the 53's. Nice find

They look new to me and ad says new, just not in plastic. Who cares about the shaft, can easily get s300 or whatever and reshaft them.

how are those the same? I've been looking for a new set as well with S300. They simply do not exist.

Just telling like it is, the only problem is missing the 3,4 iron. The shaft it has means nothing.

[tigerfan23]

you not even close. It's not the way it is. It took forever to find a New 3-PW S300 set. I can' find 100 'different' sets online.

Besides the point.

[puresurfr]

Ok OP, im seriously confused.....you were searching for a brand new set of MP53 3-PW with s300 ( a unicorn shaft ) ???? and a brand new set 4-PW with Nippons is available and you would pass ??? I can see how it might take 6 years depending on parameters.

 

On a side note, it feels great to find something after a long search. I myself am looking for a factory set of Epon 502s in copper in mint condition but its a elusive club to find.

I guess you don’t get that the shaft it has means nothing. The hard part is probably getting the heads, you can buy some s300 shafts for cheap and throw them in. Although that guy found 5-pw new heads in a 30 second search

Those in the bay are mp-59s. Incorrectly labeled.

[dmeeksDC]

I have a set with the Nippon shaft. The 950GH helps on long irons, of which the 4 iron is my longest. Very playable combo. I do like a slightly heavier shaft in the short irons, 115g to 120g or so. S300 remains an excellent shaft, though I like the DG 120 version the best (118g).

Whatever shaft, the MP53 is one of my all-time fave CB designs. Just seems to fit me.

the unicorn was a "new stock 3-PW S300 Set" in the box set.

I honestly looked for 6 years. There is no confusion here.

 

[eyeeye]

Congrats. I sold mine a long time ago, but somehow still have 3 and P, lol. 3 is basically new tho.

Maybe I'll take it for a spin. A little break from my 59s.

Stay on topic and keep this BS and lies to yourself.

If you dig the 53s, check out this item number on eBay..... 333229500545

They look awesome now, but those are going to look poopy fast.

funny I actually bought a set from that seller a few months ago 3-PW.

They looked awesome but somehow IMO the black finish slightly changed the soft feeling of the 53s.

[Gautama]

I owned a few sets when when I was in my peak club ho-ing days, along with multiple sets of MP-54s, JPX 825s, JPX 850s, even H4s...i couldn't make up my mind and was buying and selling on eBay like it was my job, lol. Somehow landed on the 825s which I still play today (along with MP64s when the mood strikes), but the 53s were the best if the bunch, incredible feel, great turf interaction, just enough meat to feel like you were getting some help when you got into the longer irons...Definitely one of the top Minunos of all time. Kinda want to go buy some now. ?

Wish Mizuno would bring out a 53 equivalent in current production
