Mizuno MP-5 Blades

[Warrick]

Oh boy, those look perfect, great description.

time to start saving for a partial set of the 5's...

[easyyy]

Added a TON of pics just now. Take a look... http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/1210926-mizuno-mp-5-in-hand-pics-comparos-w-mp-4-and-mp-15/

Always look forward to Mizuno's new blade iron and rarely am I disappointed.

[CRutherford]

These look like pure sex in golf club form. I can't help but think back to what a perfect iron the MP-32 was...

Donald was involved in the design of the MP-32's. He played them for a few seasons.

Actually, Luke had more involvement with the MP 62's.

Your exactly right and that's been the best iron I've been hitting ever since

Had the 62s for years. The 64s were the only things that could beat them for me. Isn't it nice that Mizzy makes such good stuff that we have to split hairs to find what's best?

[ZAP]

I didn't want to look in this thread. I knew they would be sexy. Damn.

Curious if the PW will be the same size as the MP-4. If yes, these may be my new irons in a year or two.

I prefer the PW in the MP-4 to the one in my MP-64 set. Otherwise, I'd be content if they just kept making 64s from now until eternity.
[/quote]

Heh. I actually ordered an MP-4 PW specially to match my MP-64s. I liked it so much I ended up switching the entire set. I should have kept hold of the 64 4i, though.

[dlgolfer72]

Does anyone know if the they taper down in size 8-pw like the MP-4?

I don't think/haven't noticed this in the MP4

Looks like this guy is claiming to have them in hand after getting them from the Mizuno British Open tour van:

Does anybody else notice the MP-5's we have seen for sale have black paintfill in the running bird? All the photos Mizuno has released have had no paintfill. Seems interesting.

Yep, As anal as I can be.
My guess is they could have those out w/o paint fill as a "proto" version. Perhaps this way Mizuno can better track the release to public & tour whether authorized or not.

[Tarheeldwg]

This is a picture from Golfweeks website. It looks like a stock photo. It has no paintfill.

Wow. So sexy. Might have to learn to play righty just so I can game these.

They said they cut the 8-pw size down quite a bit in the 4s. That's one of the reasons I got the 8-pw 4. They're gorgeous.

This guy is me. And yes I got them from a tour van guy in the UK. If they don't sell within this week, my son is going to be playing these in his upcoming junior tournaments. So he's keeping his fingers crossed that they don't sell. They have Project X 6.0s in them set to D5 which is where he likes his irons to play at. And yes, they are as good looking in person as they are in pictures. I also have these up on Ebay.

Why do they have paint fill? None of the Mizuno pics have it.

I've seen several pictures with paint and several without. Easyyy, another member on here has them and his have the paint fill. I'd assume the retail versions will have paint fill but I really hope not. I have a set of project X PXI 7.0's with lime green ferrules ready to load in a set. It would look awesome with some lime green paint fill in the runbird to match!

My guy says the paintfill depends on the region it was made for.

I also think it has something to do with Mizuno offering the customization for clubs that allow for different colors of paintfill.

if you look at the above link, it has black paintfill.

Dissappointed that mizuno stopped making blades in LH after the MP 68

[jollysammy]

Well, they didn't sell on ebay. So tomorrow my son gets to finally hit them for practice and is planning on using them next Monday in a 2 day tournament. He will be the only junior playing MP-5s in tournaments at least for awhile.

[jollysammy]

Ok my son has played these irons and here is his opinion. Bear in mind that he has played blades since age 10.

He says they are very easy to hit, almost like a cavity back. Everything just goes straight with a slightly higher trajectory than his MP4s. First time hitting them, no range, 9 hole par 3 course. Only missed green, hole 1 120yds hitting into 30mph wind 10yds short of pin. Slightly duller feel vs Mp4, good backspin most everyything within 1-2 ft of pitchmark.

Usually we bend 2-3 degrees flat but with these standard is fine. Relaxed swings are point and shoot effortless.

You stilll need a good swing, he's a 1hdcp 130mph driver swingspeed. According to him the balance and shape is easy to get use to just feels slightly thicker.

He has 3 tournaments coming up MTW and F still would use the mp4s they are pinkillers.

From his descriptions mp5s are like a performance car with fantastic automatic transmission smooth. Mp4s are like a sports car with an 8 speed manual transmission. If you can handle it, it will be a slightly better performer. But if you never played blades these irons would make an easier transition.

[/quote]Very good analogy! But is 130 mph correct, Bubba and Woodland are at 123-125mph.

[jollysammy]

His last bigdrive was last Tuesday at poppy hills hole 10 junior ncga tournament. 360yds his other 2 longest were 350. Pros can hit farther but that doesn't always help in a tournament depends on the hole.
