What is the best Mizuno MP all the time?

Recommended Posts

I've owned 10 sets over the years. 33's are my favorites but the new 4's might change that

I think I've owned 15 of the sets on the list. I'm nostalgic for MP-9's and MP-11's because those were the irons I played during my lowest handicap years. That being said, I think Mizuno's have improved through the years. IMO, the 69's and the 64's are the best looking and playing sets they have made to date. I have all of these good memories of older Mizuno irons but when I see an older set, they're never as good looking as I remember. Many of the older sets had big, round short irons and/or drastic head size and shape changes from long to short irons Some sets had reverse progressive off set, i.e. MP-29's. Lot's of memorable irons in the MP line over the years.

The first time I struck a MP14 I knew they were something special. Set a ring way up the ladder for me

Years later I had a set of MP68. Played my best golf with them.

Now I have a set of MP5 in the bag and my game is on again.

But the best is yet to come I think. I can see a set of MP20 in my future.

I'm not sure what a thread bump is .

Last set of clubs I played were Lynx Predators. Low profile as well as offset .

Loved the two iron.

Did not play for almost 20 years . Friend borrowed my Lynx and he lost them.

When I turned 43 , I had a choice , go to rehab or golf.

I walked 456 rounds in 5 month in Southern Ontario. Only broke 70 once.

5 in the morning until 8 at night. Everyday . Best summer ever. I am a horseshit putter, but managed to get down to a three handicap.

Still would like to no what thread bumping is.

 

And the lie and loft on my 1 iron .

Thread bumping is when you post in a thread to cause it to be brought to the top of the page. Usually used in sales to keep an ad at the top.

32 was a classic. But if I had to go back and play one again probably 57. Not as nice looking but put a real whallop on the ball.

Was nice to go back and thin about all the different sets I've had over the years, currently only have a set of 33's, which I've shot my best 2 scores with. I think my vote would be for the 54's tho, was a really solid iron that I could easily build up a set and game.

At the time the 33s came out, the top of the heap for Mizunos was considered to be the MS-11, which were also released as the MP-11. Having a set, I'd have to agree. Straight muscle, more bounce than any blade at the time (and even more than most that followed), and like anything Mizuno in those days, soft.

 

A possible exception would be the MS-4 from the 80s, if an MS can count in this six year old topic. Unfortunately no personal experience; I've never hit or played them. They were the set that Payne Stewart was said to have used for the 99 US Open.

I have owned MANY MP irons. For me, it's an easy choice- 33's! Close behind would be 32's and 69's. I am probably in rare company when I put the 30's in my top five....

Probably the MP14, 33, 32, 68, 4, 18, and 64 in that order. But I also really liked the 60 and the 5. Tough call.
