So, those that know me on here (not many these days, old faces are gone) know I am a mizuno iron fan, and honeslty, I dont think there is a nicer looking iron on the market right now. But boy are they amazing to hit.
So, the back storey. Fit for my 52's at clays in Wrexham about 8 years ago when they had the full fitting centre there. Eyes haven't wandered since. But, since the mp5's came out, I cant help myself. I was tempted to just buy a 6 iron to hang on my wall in the man cave! Seriously. And I still might.
So, I pop into hot golf today, with my own 6 iron which has a regular nippon shaft in it. I My bad shots lately are a hook. A strong draw is my usual shot and since I've steepined my swing I'm hitting it higher. Ive made some nice changes since I was fit 8 years ago but ive suspected for some months that the clubs just dont 'fit' me any more. Curiosity got the better of me and so there I was stood in the back room warming up with my own club whilst the chap was asking the usual questions.
Hit a few poor shots with my 52's to start but as I was stiff it was to be expected. Straight away the chap pointed me at the more forgiving mp25's as he clearly thought I couldnt hit what I already had let alone the blade like MP5's.
Having hit a few more of my own a bit better, I started to see some usual numbers. Average carry with 6 iron was 152, total about 163 I think. About what I would expect.
Tried the MP25s first and they were around 158 carry with a total of about 168 total. Felt lovely, was quite impressed.
Then I moved onto the MP5 with an S300 shaft and WOW. Middled them all, couldnt even feel the ball leave the face. Couldnt stop hitting them. Average carry 165 total distance was almost 180. Nice high flight and lovely dispersion. I was smitten. Absolutely in love. My only issue, EVERY single ball was right of target by some way. Even with my club. Ive convinced myself it was either how the mat was setup to the radar. And it was enough for me to walk out without stumping up any cash, but I absolutely can not get them off my mind.
So, having read the reviews and listenend to all the youtube testers I knew they were going to be good but didnt beleive how good they would be, looking at how small and blade like they are they completely surpassed all of my expectations. Mizuno have pulled off a corker with these, and I'm already contemplating how I'm goingbto get these in the bag.
Oh, and I was offered 4-pw for £550. Nightmare!
