Mizuno MP-58 Irons Are Easy To See Why Made Such Gains On The Big Tours

Frankly, nobody need any encouragement to buy Mizuno blades, especially when they are available in finishes like the current black nickel.

The trouble is that once you’ve pured one out of a blade’s sweetspot you’d sell your granny to feel that sensation again. So is it possible to match the feel of a blade with the forgiveness of a cavity back? Mizuno have tried to show that it is with the MP-58. I first have to say that I really did try and try again to find a better set of irons to beat out the new mizuno mp58 irons in head-to-head competition. Featuring the same dual muscle technology as the 68’s the MP-58’s have seen Mizuno bringing multi-material technology into the MP range. For many years I have felt that Mizuno has made one of the best irons in golf. Every previous iron in the MP range has been made from a single billet of steel but the MP-58 combines the soft 1025E carbon steel with a titanium insert. And I feel if there were no equipment sponsors on tour and everyone just played what they felt were the best iron for their game that a large % of guys would be playing a set of Mizuno’s.

For a company known for their forging, Mizuno might be seen to be taking a healthy risk by doing this but have offset this by the way that they forged the two together. You might remember us showing you the YouTube video where Mizuno shows you what they call “The Sound of Feel”. The result is that the titanium is bonded to the head far more strongly than it otherwise could be. And that is because these guys have specialized on improving their forgings for longer then any other company I know of. Because of this the mizuno mp 58 irons is designed to offer shot-makers a club that is more forgiving that the 62. 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. While they don’t have the meaty feel of the MP-62 or the buttery soft contact of the MP-68, the 58’s are so close it’s not funny. They hit the ball slightly higher than their stablemates the 68’s and 62’s and are noticeably more forgiving without having much more offset or a thicker sole.

Making stunning looking blades seems to be child’s play for them but how were they going to create what is effectively a cavity back without just recreating the previous generations like the MP-60 and mizuno mp57. You don’t have anything to worry about because the MP-58’s have modified U-grooves that conform to the Condition of Competition for 2010.
This iron actually performed better then many game-improvement irons when it came to both off-center hits off the toe and the heel. Pretty amazing when you look at some of the other perimeter weighted irons out there that cannot achieve this. There multi-material forged design scheme we assume is the reason. There is no way you can remember from one day to the next if you test them one at a time. You can go to shops that allow you to take sets to try or try and find a demo day coming near your hometown. So make sure you take every chance you get to test equipment out there. Some information come from the golfweek.com.

Hard not to give this one an A+ when it beats out all the other competition we put it up against and all the testers give it an A+ as well. They definitely get my approval and if you are in the market for some new irons I would highly recommend giving them a try.
