Beautiful MP-58 Irons

Mizuno came to play with this set when it pertains to the aesthetics of these irons. Simple, Classic, Elegant, and Striking are all the terms that our testers used when they first put their eyes on the new set. Smaller head design and quiet graphics talk to you rather than scream at you and the subtle, but classy look instills confidence like few irons on the marketplace can right now. In the bag they show a sophistication that few have and at setup they are begging to be worked all over the course. When it comes to describing them for me, only one word comes to mind and that is CLASSY!

The Mizuno MP-58 Irons have a build you would expect from Mizuno. Very solid and classic - while infusing some new technology. To develop the Mizuno MP-58 Irons, Mizuno uses a high-tech titanium metal during the forging of the outer muscle of the iron. This enhances the feel, workability and shape of the Mizuno MP-58 Irons. The lightweight titanium also allows for an ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area to promote the soft, solid, consistent feel while increasing the perimeter weighting for playability.

When we got the Mizuno MP-68 irons on the range, we immediately noticed that the Mizuno MP-58 Irons have a much thinner sole and top line than the old MP-57 model and Mizuno say this modification has enhanced forgiveness by keeping the centre of gravity close to the clubface. The new design of the MP-58 Ti Muscle performed very well, although if we had to be picky, the feel was not quite as good with the multi-material head as with a 100% forged steel head. The mid to short Mizuno MP-58 Irons were lovely to hit, especially the wedge, but the long irons were not quite as forgiving as the shorter irons in the set. Visually the head of the longer seemed a little shorter relative to the mid irons and if this is a concern for you then you can easily replace the long irons with the MP Fli-Hi or the MX300 long irons instead. Overall though this is a great iron for those who want good players irons with a bit more forgiveness than a blade.

I shoot low 80's. These combined with the KBS stiff shafts are the nicest clubs I've ever used. I've tried them all and nothing feels like a Mizuno and finally a great stock shaft to match. Buy them if you’re a decent ball striker only. Good luck.
