Golf club makers fell in love with titanium because it's stronger and lighter than steel. That means designers can make thinner driver faces, which creates discretionary weight that can be repositioned in other areas to improve performance.
But with the release of the new MizunoMP-59 Irons, Mizuno uses titanium for a completely different purpose—forgiveness.
While the Mizuno MP-59 Irons is made from steel, 12 grams of titanium are forged into a pocket behind the face of each Mizuno MP-59 Irons. (It's the slightly darker material in the photo above.) Mizuno says the titanium allows the clubs to maintain the ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area for solid feel while automatically redistributing the weight to the heel, toe and sole of the Mizuno MP-59 Irons.
The Mizuno MP-59 Irons, the next generation of our award winning Ti Muscle™ Technology, delivers full cavity forgiveness in a player's half cavity design. During the elaborate Grain Flow Forging process, the pure Titanium material is forged into the muscle of the MizunoMP-59 Irons to deliver a 5% larger Sweet Area compared to the MP-58, the iron that debuted Ti Muscle Technology while taking home "Editor's Choice" in Golf Digest's 2010 Hot List.
The lightweight characteristics of the pure titanium allows for the ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area to deliver consistent solid feel while simultaneously providing a dramatic increase in perimeter weighting for enhanced playability.
To date, only Mizuno's patented Grain Flow Forging process can deliver this technological advancement that produces these amazing gains in forgiveness, all within a compact, traditional head shape.

The Mizuno MP-59 Irons are amazing. They made the 59′s harmonics better than then the 58′s, or the 62′s. The 59′s top line and sole are almost identical to the 68. The Mizuno MP-59 Irons
Mizuno MP-59 Irons is a lot easier to hit. They feel so much better than the 58. I think your expectations suck then, because you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. There is a lot of weight on the bottom and out on the perimeter. That is what makes the iron so great. If you want a hard club to hit then get, then get the 69.
