Mizuno MP H5 2 iron

[seochris]

As Mizuno don't do a 3 iron in the JPX 850 forged range i was thinking of one of these. An MP H5 2 iron.

Anybody got one and whats it like?

I do have a 3 iron Ping Hybrid and while i love their woods just cant seem to get on with the hybrid, so was thinking of a different strategy for 190-200 yds....

I've just sold my 2i, a great club but i preferred my Adams 17*hybrid.

I'm in the Same predicament as you with 850 forged clubs. Been thinking of h4/5 you seen any decent prices for them?

Just bought one on ebay...figured for 45 notes I cant lose! New I think they are around the 100 mark....

I do know of a 2h and 3h mp h5 looking for a home, both played around 5 rounds, the owner paid £110 each just over a month ago

What shafts are they?

 

[Oddsocks]

C taper 110 lite stiff

 

[seochris]

OK Cheers mate...will pass on them as I am a regular sort of gut!

No worries. I tried his which is why I brought mine. But back to back testing and I felt It just didn't sit in my bag right.

My current set up is 3w 16*h 20*h 4i-PW

There was a space but it would have sat between both hybrids and I didn't think it was needed. I can hit high and low shots with the 16* hybrid

Dropped my vapor hybrid for a mp#2 18 deg, awesome iron, highly recommended .

Got to be an old model at that money, fli hi's were making 45-60 when I was looking a few weeks back

Mp H5? It is secondhand.

 

[Oddsocks]

Well sir you got a bargain of a lifetime. A lot of shops still selling at £110-120 and used still making over £80

Been thinking about similar for myself.

Have a tendency to really hook hybrids when not going to well. Don't get me wrong I can hit a high hook with an iron but that is becoming a rare occurance these days.

Looking at the prices for these driving / utility irons. Some are the price of a decent 2nd hand driver.

I was contemplating just buying a SGI 4 or 3 iron instead.

Will I see a marked difference in performance between say a Callaway legacy driving iron and a new great big Bertha long iron?

The look the same sort of size and shape.
