Mizuno Pro MP4 Irons 1-9, PW, SW set information needed

sbboudreau · April 27, 2017

Mizuno Pro MP4 Irons 1-9, PW, SW set information needed. Information I have is they were previously owned by an Asian Tour player and Payne Stewart owned a set during one of his US Open wins. From what I can see in the pictures provided they are in pretty good condition with some bag clatter damage/wear. Seller is looking for $400.00. Worth it? Not? I don't know much about Mizuno but read much about Mizuno here.

Payne Stewart, I believe but don't hold me accountable.

1991 Open: Under contract, a mostly Wilson Staff bag.

1999 Open: Not under contract, a mix bag, that included mizuno pro ms-4 (2-9) and mp-14 (pw)

The mp-4 came out 1990-1992, this was a couple of years after the ms-4. They are, I think essentially the same, with minor variations.

So while they are close. It's for you to decide if they're the clubs PS used.

I'm not allowed to give a value on here, but not worth the dough in my opinion, unless MAYBE you know the Asian Tour Pro, it's authenticated and he's well known.

Spend a few more dollars and get some TN87's, or wait for something better to come along.

Way too high I think but JMO.

I have some sets of Mizzies of that rough vintage, and they're great clubs. 1 - SW is nice, but $400 is collectibles money, whereas I put together my 3 sets for less than £100 all in and the heads are in better condition than those.

I have a lefty set of these,they are essentially the same as the Pro Original blades but in a satin rather than bright chrome finish,very good quality and not as 'mushy' as more recent Mizuno offerings.

These look to have done some service judging by the browning of the faces and are not $400 worth unless provenance of previous ownership by a worthy can be provided.

Shoukd have added that the Pro Original is the same as the TP Original,I think the variation in finishes might be for sales in different countries.

Some years ago I bought a set of MP ?? (can't remember!) irons blind from another golf shop over the phone,on arrival they were TP-9's but in the same satin finish which I had never seen on UK Mizuno irons.
