Continuing the award winning success of Cut MuscleTM technology, the Mizuno product development team has developed a new muscle back iron featuring an innovative "Slender" Cut Muscle design. This new Slender Cut MuscleTM allows the player complete ball control by pin-pointing the COG inside the muscle back design. Utilizing our Grain Flow Forging® and Cut MuscleTM technology, the design team was able to provide a neutral COG relative to the shaft axis and a consistent sweet spot location for exact trajectory and distance control. The cambered sole of the MP-67TM allows the player precise shot making capability from all types of lies. The MP-67TM long irons achieve a mid-high trajectory, (Mizuno MP-67 Iron Set) while the scoring irons deliver a mid trajectory.
The MP-67TM offers unmatched ball control by utilizing a new "Slender" Cut MuscleTM Design to precisely position the COG from iron to iron.
Innovative Muscle Back with "Slender" Cut Muscle? design provides ideal COG locations, perfect trajectory, enhanced solid feel, and the ultimage in ball control.
Futures: 1. NEW Grain Flow Forged, 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel provides the ultimate soft, solid, consistent feel; 2. Durable Double nickel chrome plated finish; 3. Modified U-grooves produce the ideal spin rate for maximum playability in all conditions; 4. Rolled leading edge, cambered mid-sole, and rolled trailing edge deliver consistent striking ability from all types of lies.

An iron definitely aimed at the better golfer, the 2007 MP-67 Mizuno Irons are a beautifully designed set of clubs that look great, featuring the characteristics of Mizunos classic blades.
Like with the MP-62 ironns from Mizuno, these clubs definitely require a good and repeatable golf swing in order to be effective in players hands.
As with most blade irons, good strikes feel great, and are rewarded with a good looking shot. The clubs really can feel so effortless at times, and really smooth at impact. (Mizuno MP-68 Irons) You will know when you've hit the ball well and have made a good swing.
However one thing that was very clear was that mis-hits with the MP-67s are relatively short distance wise. The forgiveness accuracy wise isn't too bad for blades, but hit a shot poorly and you likely wont be making the green.
The general results were that a poorly hit shot was about 1 club to 2 clubs short on average through the set. Meaning an MP-67 6 iron poorly hit, goes roughly as far as a 7 or 8 iron would with a good strike.
But the lack of distance on the non-perfect hits with these Mizuno irons, is made up for by the very impressive feel and workability that they give players. A capable low handicapper who practices regularly should have no trouble setting up for a high launch on an approach shot, or drilling the ball in low in higher winds.
The mid and longer MP-67 irons in particular were quite impressive for being versatile with approach shots. With many other iron sets it can be difficult at times to stop the golf ball quickly on the green with the longer irons. But these irons really do get the ball responding and spinning well on landing, again though this was on the good strikes. Mis-hits that did hit the green with the MP-67s, like with most irons, didn't respond quite so well.
Hitting a fade or draw can be easily achieved with these an MP-67 iron. (Mizuno JPX E600 Iron Set) Though when setting up for one of those types of shots, it's important to hit the ball well and put a good swing on the club.
As mis-hits when setting up for a draw or a fade, could dramatically over do the effect you're after, and produce something close to a full on hook or slice.
Despite this though, as mentioned a slight amount of forgiveness is there, but you have to have a consistent swing that repeats. An inconsistent swing will produce very inconsistent results with the Mizuno MP-67s.
If you're about an 8 or a 9 handicap or lower, and do want to improve and be a better player. You should give these Mizuno irons a look. They force you to make the effort to get better and improve your swing. Because you will need to have a good swing and find the sweet.

MP-69 Irons Design
Mizuno, a leader in golf technology and innovation, today I will announce the addition of the mizuno mp-69 irons to their already iconic muscle back line up. Blending the input of Mizuno’s PGA Tour staff members with state of art design and simulation tools, the mp-69 irons are the excellent balance of patented Grain Glow Forged. Feeling and unmatched workability are the features of mizuno mp-69 irons.
With the same playing profile and offset as its predecessor, the golf set takes few risks with its tour following. A slightly more pronounced toe is a feature that is influenced from Mizuno's original Japanese models. Mizuno mp-69 irons have been launched after mp-58 irons and mp-68 irons. Follow the main parts of these irons, the mizuno mp-69 has come out, based on the success of these two irons, the mp-69 irons have own more and more fans.
The mizuno mp-69 irons have some features you must know. The first one is 4D Muscle design delivers unmatched ball and flight control by maintaining the perfect COG design in each head. Secondly, scientifically designed to optimize sound and feel at impact utilizing Modal Analysis and Harmonic Impact Technology. Strategically placed trailing edge bevel delivers tour confirmed performance and increased versatility. Patented Grain Flow Forged 1025E ''Pure Select" mild carbon steel provides the ultimate soft, solid, and consistent feel. At last, with modified U-grooves, which conform to the Condition of Competition, produce the ideal spin rate for maximum playability in all conditions
The mp-69 irons are aimed squarely at the Tour Player and high level amateur - with a really clean look throughout the set. Mizuno has an incredible history in blades with the TN87, MP-14, MP-29, TP-9, TP-19’s and MP-33's and the MP-69 sits comfortably in that elevated company. We did everything possible to keep the MP-69's clean to the eye – nothing protruding or distracting above the ball.

MP-59 Irons Review
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.
Mizuno, a leader in golf technology and innovation, today announced the addition of the mizuno mp-59 irons to their already iconic muscle back lineup. Blending the input of Mizuno’s PGA Tour staff member with state of the art design and simulation tools, the mp-59 irons are the perfect balance of patented Grain Flow Forged, feel, and unmatched workability.
But with the release of the new mizuno mp-59 irons, Mizuno uses titanium for a completely different purpose—forgiveness. While the mp-59 irons are made from steel, 12 grams of titanium are forged into a pocket behind the face of each club. (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 club.
Mizuno mp-59, 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 mizuno mp-59 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.

Add Mizuno MP-59 to Your Bag
When I first started chatting with the Mizuno people about getting some irons to review, I was excited. The new MP line was coming out and their MP-69s looked exactly like the blades I once had owned in my Titleist 690-MBs. It's true, nobody, not even Tiger Woods, needs to hit blades with the technology out there these days, but having those in the bag is just cool. Sadly, the curse of the southpaw got me, as I was informed the 69s wouldn't be molded lefty.
The disappointed lasted until the box of Mizuno MP-59 Irons arrived. A "full cavity forgiveness in a player's half cavity design" as their site informs us, the Mizuno MP-59 Irons are exactly what I was looking for. Playing 18 holes with my uncle, the most popular cart partner in my golfing Rolodex, confirmed it. He admitted that carrying these irons would get more of the "player that thinks he needs blades even though he doesn't" group interested, because they're just so darn good looking without all the additions that can make certain irons look clunky.
The Mizuno MP-59 Irons feature a lightweight Titanium insert forged directly into the back of the club head. The thicker Ti Muscle material behind impact ensures that the centre of gravity is located closer to the clubface, which allows better players the ability to work shots whilst still offering the forgiveness of the cavity-back design.
The Mizuno MP-59 Irons is an evolution of the successful MP-58 model. With the Ti weight added to the Mizuno MP-59 Irons, off-center strikes will benefit from even greater stability. The appearance of the MP-59s is also improved by reducing the offset as a result of this improved stability. Thanks to the help of Mizuno's Tour Staff, the Mizuno MP-59 Irons now features a thinner top-line, a weightier sole and a new sole grind.
Great irons!! I just got them a couple of weeks ago (3-pw) and love them. As a lefty, I was surprised to have them so quickly. I was fitted for them at a demo day with Dynamic Gold XP S-300's and -1 flat. The first hit with the 6 iron is when I knew I had to have them. Previous irons were Callaway X-22 tours with Nippon 990's. Great feel and sound!!

Outstanding MP59 Irons
To put it simply, the Mizuno MP-59 irons look good. Part of the visual appeal of the Mizuno MP-59 irons is the fact they look like a muscle back iron. You can tell Mizuno spent adequate time designing the Mizuno MP-59 irons because they seamlessly blended the forgiveness of a cavity back with the look of a blade. The compact, traditional head shape allows you to feel confident standing over your golf ball knowing you look like a golfer who has game. And in golf, looking good and feeling good is half the battle!
During the elaborate Grain Flow Forging process, 12 grams of pure Titanium material is forged into the muscle of the Mizuno MP-59 irons to deliver a 5% larger Sweet Area compared to the MP-58, the iron which debuted Ti Muscle Technology, while taking home "Editor's Choice" in Golf Digest's 2010 Hot List. This provides the ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area for solid feel, while the higher density steel on the toe, heel, and sole provides a dramatic increase in perimeter weighting for enhanced playability. This Mizuno MP-59 irons design allows for an easier launch and more forgiveness due to both a lower Center of Gravity (COG) and larger sweet spot area. This revolutionary Ti Muscle technology maximizes feel and forgiveness, all in a compact players' head size.
"With Mizuno's Ti Muscle technology, we've preserved the soft feel and compact head size that Mizuno MP players expect, while increasing forgiveness, which is truly the "holy grail" combination of performance characteristics for today's more serious players," said Dick Lyons VP and General Manager, Mizuno USA, Inc. "The Mizuno MP-59 irons are ground breaking in concept and design, with a look, feel, and play unlike any forged iron Mizuno has delivered to date."
The forged Ti Muscle Technology of the Mizuno MP-59 irons is evident from the first swing. The titanium insert forged behind the impact area provides a solid feel and it provides just the right amount of forgiveness. I'm not a scratch golfer so I can't afford to be penalized on the course with an off center shot. But, at the same time, I don't want to play golf with a shovel so I want feedback when I'm not making solid contact. With the Mizuno MP-59 irons , you get the feedback you want and the forgiveness you need.

Can Help You Control MP59 Irons
The titanium muscle that first appeared on the MP-58 remains, but has been redesigned for the Mizuno MP-59 irons. The head looks slightly more compact at address, but there is still noticeably more forgiveness compared to the shallow cavity MP-53 models.
When placed up next to the new MP-69 blade, there is very little difference in top line. This will scare some, but there is more surface area on the Mizuno MP-59, which makes these look a fraction more forgiving.
We have always been big fans of the solid performance of the classic Dynamic Gold shaft by True Temper. They reward good swings with strong flights, which particularly helps distance control.
Mizuno has used the Golf Pride M21 grips for the Mizuno MP-59 irons. As you would expect, these offer a good blend of feel and stability that neatly complements the performance of the head itself.

The Grain Flow Forged material that makes up the MP-59 irons provides a soft and consistent experience at impact, while the titanium forged into the head delivers even more of a solid feel. A double-nickel chrome finish, highlighted with a black chrome stainless steel accent, gives an elegant and durable finish that player's desire.
Utilizing Harmonic Impact Technology (H.I.T.), Mizuno perfectly tuned the sound at impact to deliver the ultimate feel. Modified U-grooves, which conform to the Condition of Competition 2010, produce the ideal spin rate for maximum playability in all conditions.
Right and Left Hand Available
Shaft: Dynamic Gold S300
Grip: Golf Pride M-21
Other Options available through Mizuno's Custom Department
Suggested Retail Price: $999.99
Available: Mid-September 2011
Beautifully finished, the Mizuno MP-59 irons performed extremely well. The flight was consistent and the initial launch was high through the set. Headshape was excellent although this design was slightly ‘toe deep’ giving it a bulkier look. The blade was quite long, but this is ideal for the majority of players looking for a muscle-back with forgiveness. Off-centre strikes still flew well.
