How are those MP 60s doing?

[theothertwo]

For the MP 60 users, how are those clubs performing after the honeymoon period? Are they as good as they look? Are they a lot more forgining than the MP-32s, Bridgetone J33s or say the TM RAC LTs.

 

Thanks. Happy New Year to all.

I have played 12 rounds with my MP-60's. I love them, especially the scoring irons. I am now a Mizuno man for many years to come (previsoulsy Taylor Made).

I'm the happy owner of both the Mp-60, the TM LT2 and the J33 combo's.

 

Havent hit the J33 combos yet, as I bought them in december and haven't had a chance to play with them becaue of the cold weather right now i Denmark.

 

Have hit the Lt2 and Mp-60 a lot, and the LT2 are clearly more forgiving on mishits, but they lack the forged soft feel of the Mp-60's. I have to say the LT2 irons are very very good irons for a cast type of iron, but they definitely don't have the same soft feel on well struck shots as the Mp-60's do.´

 

Am going to sell my LT2's, because I wanted to try the Ping I5's instead of the LT2. I figure I need a set of cast irons for my winter bag that will last me a life time - and supposedly Ping irons are very solid and almost impossible to wear and tear apart.

 

But both the LT2, the J33 combos and the Mp-60 are awesome great irons. If you want blade like irons in your short irons, the J33 combos are the way to go, if you want a solid cavity back players forged irons with minimal offset, blade like appearance, small head, thin topline, thin sole, but still an amount of forgiveness, the Mp-60 are the way to go. If you want an excellent looking forgiving cast players cavity back iron with a bit more offset, a thicker topline, a thicker sole, but still enables you to work the ball, the LT2 irons are the way to go.

 

You need the right shaft in your irons to obtain your desired trajectory.

The iron heads don't cause all of the problem regarding the desired ball trajectory for your swing.

The shaft is at least as important as the head itself.

Thanks Claus, that was very helpful.
