mp 52 vs mp 62

  When the MP-52 debuted this fall with its sibling the MP-62, there were two surprises. First, the company's "Cut Muscle" design of the last several years is missing, replaced with a very different "Dual Muscle" technology. Second, with the MP-52, Mizuno set out to make a more forgiving MP iron. The MP line has always been the domain of low and lower-mid handicappers. They have a reputation as being workable while providing a lot of feedback. Keeping up to those standards with a forgiving club is a bit of a tall order.

What are the major differences on mp 52 vs mp 62?

  The MP-52, like its big brother MP-62, is a sharp departure from the "Cut Muscle" MPs (32, 57, 60, and 67). Though it sports a similar name in "Dual Muscle," it's really a different animal. The Dual Muscle technology gets its name from (appropriately enough) two new design features: an outer "muscle pad" that, according to Mizuno, moves the center of gravity lower and deeper to enhance playability and launch angle; and an inner "muscle pad" that is intended to provide the feel and the feedback that better players tend to seek.

  Consider that mid- and low-handicappers can be pretty finicky about their clubs. Many won't play muscle backs because they think (probably accurately) that they need more forgiveness. Others won't consider anything that isn't basically blade-like, because they refuse to sacrifice feel and workability (nothing wrong with that stance either). Forgiveness and workability are to a large extent at opposite ends of the same spectrum. Creating playable irons that meet the needs and preferences of better golfers is a gutsy undertaking for a company with a solid reputation among lower handicappers.

  I have used both and i can say that the 52;s are more forgiving on off centre hits, found that the 62;s feel softer and the ball can be worked a little easier but there isn't much in it. i found the 62's look alot more like a classic blade at address due to the thin top line. both are awesome clubs for single figure players that can develop your gave further than you thought possible. bear in mind that the lofts are fairly weak for today's clubs, i lost about 1 club in distance throughout both sets coming from using callaway bobby jones blades. have used mizuno irons for 5 years now and don't think i'll change to anything else.
