Mizuno MP 60 Irons

I use to play the Callaway X-12's & felt that my game was ready for the next level. I got pretty consistent striking the ball & my handicap was down to a 12. I noticed that my ball flight was a bit too high and felt that the offset on the X-12's was the reason for it and I needed to change to a new set that would allow me to work the ball a bit easier/better and would give me a more penetrating ball flight. The X-12's are great and I recommend them for any senior or new golfer which may be having trouble getting the ball in the air.

So far I've had my MP60's only one month. Man they are sweet! I've played 5 rounds with them and practiced maybe twice. I've noticed that I've lost some distance (.5-1 club) but accuracy is better. Shots on the sweet spot are silky and thank goodness they are forgiving enough for those that aren't. I like the way they look when I'm over a shot. Their blade look makes you focus more on the shot. I gave them a good rating because I've only had them for a short time, but I feel confident that once I get more use to playing them that they will diliver everything that I expected by upgrading from a game improvement club to a higher performance club.Read full review...

Great hitting clubs, only chrome does not last

I purchased a set used on Ebay, very nice looking club, hits well, and you can work the ball great. I had a 35 Yr old set of Wilson irons which I still have, and the chrome on the Wilson's lasted much longer. I don't hit balls daily maybe 100 rounds per year. The Mizuno's have quite a bit of brush burn and browning for clubs made in the past 10 years or less. I only switched because I wanted a softer shaft and I had read all the rave's about Mizuno. I don't think there quality matches that of the great old forged club makers of the 60's and 70's. era. As far as hitting, really it's the artist, not the paint brush in most cases !! The Wilson Staffs of 76 thru early 80's are hard to top.Read full review...

Mizuno MP 60 Irons - the ultimate player's club

I bought the MP 60 irons based on having hit them at the driving range during a Mizuno "Demo Days". I was a previous Mizuno iron user (T-Zoid) and knew of their reputation as being the premier producer of forged irons. I had compared the Mizuno MP 60's to another model in the Mizuno family as well as to two other forged irons (Taylor Made and Titleist). I also compared the golf shafts, and what sold me on this set was the fact they came with the shaft (Dynamic Gold SL) I wanted. The set was not to my specifications (loft, lie angle and length) but this required minor adjustments at a local golf repair shop. One nice advantage of having a "true" forging is the ability to move the loft and lie angles several degrees without compromising the playability of the club.

The Mizuno MP 60's are not all that forgiving despite the cavity back design. Hit them well and the club feels as smooth as a hot knife through butter. Mishit them and you'll get what you deserve. The Dynamic Gold SL shafts are taking some getting used to. I know in the long run these clubs will be a perfect set for maintaining and hopefully improving my game. The look of these clubs at address is fantastic. No ugly offset; just a clean look from top to bottom. For me they instill confidence that I will hit a good shot. I am one of those golfers who has to visually enjoy the club I am hitting.

For now the only negative thing I can say about these irons is getting used to the feel of the lighter shaft. This will be overcome as I make the necessary adjustments to the weight and not over-swinging the club. I highly recommend those golfers who enjoy a clean looking, no-nonsense iron to consider the Mizuno MP 60.Read full review...

Mizuno MP-32 Irons with Dynamic Gold 200 Stiff Shafts are in league with the best clubs ever made.

Mizuno MP-32 Irons are some of the best forged irons made. From design to manufacturing these have been extremely well thought out. When I bought my first set of these about two years ago I was initially attracted to them by all the previous reviews. The common theme to most of the reviews was, "I wish I still had these irons in my bag". One golfer said, " If you find a set, buy it". So I did. Now I'm the golfer recommending these
great irons. They give you good feedback on contact. They are somewhat forgiving, you need to take a good full swing with them. They do not let you off the hook with a bad swing. One thing I can say is that I have had the ball draw on some of my pushes and I have had the ball fade on some of my pulls. The club's I can personally rate the MP-32s to are: Titleist AP712 and Titleist 755. Also Swilken MK1 & 2. I hope this review and all the other players reviews help you try these irons.Read full review...

Mizuno MP 60

I am a seven handicap and working at getting it lower like everyone else out there. I decided to purchase my new set of irons by custom fitting rather than just off the rack. After a shaftlab analysis as well as a fitting session with a PGA professional, I decided to purchase the Mizuno MP 60 forged irons based entirely on recommendation. My iron specs are 2 degrees flat and 1/2 inch short, so I really didn't think hitting a standard lie demo iron would give me any indication of its performance. I have to say that I am thorougly satisfied with the results. The MP 60 is considered a "player's club" because it allows you to work the ball much like forged blades. But at the same time, offers some degree of forgiveness on toe or heel shots. I have noticed about a 10% to 15% loss of distance on off center shots which still leaves you in good shape to recover. Solid shots provide very consistent distances for me. THAT is, in my opinion, the greatest asset of these clubs. I have found in the past that my "game improvement irons" would surprise me with some added distance I wasn't expecting and put me over the green with what I thought was a great shot. I would recommend these irons to any player with above average skills. If you're playing bogie golf or worse, don't kid yourself that these clubs will improve your game. You are probably better off with true game improvement irons that have a deeper cavity back. Come back to these when your skill level improves. For those players with skillz, leave your ego on the range and skip the true-blades and give these a try. Here's an interesting stat for you, only 20% of the best players in the world use true blades. If a majority of the best players in the world choose to use non-blade irons, why would you think that blades could possibly be an asset for your game? You aren't going to regret buying these clubs, you're going to get the feel and feedback of blades but with moderate forgiveness like cavity backs.Read full review...

Mizuno MP-60 w/Rifle (Flighted) Shafts

They "feel" like I'm swinging irons with a graphite shaft, BUT, the steel, rifle shaft keeps the heads of the irons from any radial rotation that occurs with graphite - especially if you "catch" the ball slightly off-center, or near the toe.
These irons are VERY forgiving, although not quite as long as my previous irons, they have a good mid-to-high flight pattern, and are "sweet" to hit.
I had brand-new grips put on them as soon as I received them, although the grips that came, "with" the clubs were ok - I prefer an oversized grip.
Now I feel confident about "going for the green" from any yardage out to slightly over 205 yards, without using a hybrid. Better control, (over direction and flight-distance) and just a pleasure to use.
The "muscle-back" style of the irons with perimeter weighting, and slightly softer steel gives good "feel" and very good forgiveness. In addition, should I wish to have the lofts' of the irons adjusted slightly, these irons are less difficult to have "bent" to the loft I desire. (As would be the same case if a person wished to adjust the "lie" to compensate for being taller, or shorter.)
I highly recommend them, and all of Mizuno's equipment.Read full review...

Mizuno MP 60 Iron set Golf Club

What a great feeling! These irons are a joy to hit. The feedback, through the head, into the the shaft, then to your hands is wonderful. Large sweet spot, very forgiving. miss hits are still very playable, often only player knows how poorly the ball was actually struck. Setup is automatic, they just fall into place. Very appealing to the eye, even for someone who is use to the "blade" look. Working ball either way is easy, and very controllable. Best deal I found was low $800.00, but found a great set of used on E-bay for half that. Life is good. Had them for less than 3 months, Feb.- April, not the best golf months, and have hit some of the best pure iron shots of my golfing career, almost 40 years. I love these clubs.Read full review...

Leader of the pack

Possibly the best iron on the market currently. Mizunos are known for their great feel and feedback, used by good players to identify and correct mistakes, and for the workability of the club, the abilty to shape the shot. In the past, the blades were perhaps a little unforgiving for the average player, but the MP60 is a great combination of forgiveness with the traditional Mizuno attributes. I would recommend professional fitting for any player, and it should also be noted the standard Mizuno lie is a little flatter than some other premium makes, so do not be surprised if the fitted specs look different from other sets.Read full review...

Put that balloon on a stick down and get yourself a real iron

These are my first "players" clubs that I picked up to replace my hand-me-down Turbo XP-6s. I started playing golf about a year ago.

As such, I can't lift these up against other comparable irons. But if you're trying to decide if it's a good idea to get clubs like this while being a high-handicapper, here's my experience.

I lost quite a bit of yardage at first. Yep, it's true. And it had me concerned. Plus, I was shanking it pretty bad, too. But I stuck with it and soon discovered that I was breaking my left wrist during the backswing and casting, among other things. It took a month or so to work these major problems out (playing about 2-3 times a week).

Now, I'm truly hitting it cleaner and crisper than ever. My yardage is back along with a little gain, but the real rewards by far have been in the areas of consistency and control. I've also started learning how to work the ball both ways, and feel like I'm actually playing the game for the first time.

I thought for sure I'd have to get the Fli Hi to replace the 3, but this hasn't been the case. I have no problem hitting the 3-iron 200 yards clean at least 3 out of 5 times.

The MP-60s in particular are immaculate. My other clubs feel ridiculously swollen, now, and it's hard to believe I used those things.Read full review...

Mizuno MP 60 irons

I used to be a good player. These clubs allow you to work ball with fade or draw and play it high or low. On my first day using them I shot 74, my best score in 5 years and I only play about 4 times a year. They are a little forgiving but definitely have a sweet spot. A missed shot results in negative feedback but not a lot of distance loss. The long irons, although teeny like normal blades, allow off center hits. They were a good deal on ebay. I formerly played Taylormade 320's but my now adult son "borrowed" them, so I bought the Mizunos. Good looking clubs, with a small face, and clean lines. Nippon shafts are lightweight but still stiffRead full review...
