Picked up a set on the bay, mint for 225. Love them!

In the land of the Mizuno models with the Ti insert...

 

In my honest opinion:

MP-58 = Good

MP-59 = Better

MP-15 = Best

Snagged a set for cheap late this summer, been gaming them for a few weeks now.

 

After gaming MP15s for a few seasons, these feel pretty similar, but are definitely more "bladelike" (thinner soles than the MP15s). Relatively forgiving, I do believe the insert helps with forgiveness, but they are closer to a blade than the MP15s were.

 

I bought these to compare to my set of MP33s. As much as I love the MP33, they just hit the ball too high for me. The MP58s have a lower ballflight, and are a bit easier to control, ballflight wise..

It is unusual that a player would strike higher trajectory shots with a true muscle back blade (MP33) than with a larger head cavity back design MP58). But shots tell the truth so if that's what you're seeing then have fun playing the MP 58's.

I played about a dozen rounds with a set of MP15's. They were fine but I did not like them as much as my set of MP63's. Mostly I preferred the impact sound of the 63's to the more muted impact sound of the 15's.

I agree (the MP-63 is practically a blade), but the question was about the Ti insert models from Mizuno.  We now also have the MP-18 MMC and the MP-20 MMC.

I hear you. Personally, I am not a fan of the ti-insert Mizuno irons, at least not the MP 15 I owned and played. They were o.k. but the muted impact sound and a little bit of shot distance carry distance inconsistency prompted me to sell my set. 

That said, I can definitely see how a player who likes a muted impact sound and, or, "meaty impact sound-feel "would like the titanium insert irons.

Love the feel of them, but will agree with someone above that the 15's just feel so great to me.

Great feeling irons, will never get rid of my set I bought 10 years ago. Just switched back to them
