The MP-58 is the beginning multi-material forged iron Mizuno has ever produced in the U.S. But dissimilar a bunch of high-tech, perimeter-weighted clubs, the MP-58's ball flight is drastically penetrating-just what the better player demands. The thin top-line and sole will additionally appeal to the low handicapper, as will the rolled advance edge and elegant aesthetics.
Like we said there are a lot of great feeling irons out there.but here is the variation with the Mizuno MP-58 irons compared to others that just feel good..the Mizuno MP-58's are INCREDIBLY forgiving! uniquely for a mid-low handicap iron design. And that is because these guys have specialized on improving their forgings for longer then any other company I conceive of. various of the other companies that used to have great forgings have had issues.whether it be their forging house going out of business or having to move to a different foundry all together or different ownership with different ideas on where the company should be going in regards to its designs.
The MP-58s have a build you would expect from Mizuno. Very solid and customary - while infusing some new technology. To develop the MP-58 iron, 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 club. The lightweight titanium also allows for an ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area to bolster the soft, solid, consistent feel while increasing the perimeter weighting for playability.
However.Mizuno has constantly focused on this sector of the golf market. You may tell by the way their designs change from year to year. You might not see a whole lot of change in shape.but they are consistently improving when technology becomes available which will allow them to refine on past designs. I was skeptical when I got these to whether they could be that much better then the last smattering years releases of irons from Mizuno.although I was amazed at how much better and more forgiving they really were. I even tested some Mizuno models from the previous years side-by-side with the MP-58's and they beat them all as well.
The MP-58 also feels more powerful, like there is more spring off the face. You may nearly feel the acceleration off the clubface, where with the MP-68 the feeling is one of being cushioned.Like the MP-68s, the MP-58s were tuned for the optimum vibration frequency, which translates into feel. Indeed, so much work has gone into the feel of this club that Mizuno says that playing-wise, it could have been released a year ago. But they wanted to get the feel element actually perfect and carried on working at it. Now that's attention to detail!
On the longer irons it was more of the same. There was a higher launch angle and very kindred distances. If anything, the MP-58s could have been a bit longer. What I started to recognize a lot more on the longer irons was the forgiveness of these irons. I hit a few shots fat or on the toe and did not lose essentially the distance I would have with the 695s. One famous one I could have sworn I hit so fat that the ball would have gone possibly only three quarters of the way to the target but the ball almost carried where some of my normal shots went.
Without a doubt, the MP-58 gets many people approval. I've always been a big fan of Mizuno irons and had high hopes for the MP-58s. They performed essentially exactly as I had expected. The one area that I was caught a little off-guard was the forgiveness. Of course, it was very forgiving so that not a bad thing.
