So, I haven't really mentioned it, so none of you are probably aware (:D), but I got a set of Mizzy MP-57's off eBay that arrived yesterday.

Firstly, as I mentioned in the "haven't got them yet" thread, they are in unbelievable condition. I literally hit the jackpot, which almost never happens and probably means that I now won't win the Lottery! The grips on a handful of the clubs are slightly worn and will need changing, probably by Christmas depending on how much I play between now and then (mostly the lower irons, as per usual), but other than that, there's hardly any use in them at all.

Took them down to the range last night for a test drive and got a bucket of 90 balls to see what they could do. I wasn't disappointed. I have a natural fade on my ball flight anyway, but my shots were so much more controlled and the feeling of hitting one sweet as a nut, well I've never experienced anything like it. Pure magic. The 3 and 4 iron still need a little work to get consistent but I think it's more a mental thing as when you look down at them from address, they look like butter knives, unlike my old Lynx's which had a bit of meat behind them!

As Homer mentioned, I'm sure I'll get the inevitable buyers regret (tomorrow, probably :D), but *know* I can hit them and that they're perfectly weighted so just need to work through it when the time comes.

Also, to top things off, I was even hitting my big dog well which hasn't happened consistently since I bought it and I think I've worked out what I was doing wrong the past few months. Always nice to work out the problems in your swing!

Needless to say, I can't wait to get out tomorrow and test them in proper conditions.....where I'll no doubt top and thin them all day long!

(This thread the last time I'll mention them, I promise! :o)
 
I found the MP 57 very forgiving and the heads are quite big compared to the MP32 I’m using at the moment. Found I was generating too much spin (side spin that is) with my draw. Used the 32’s in the winter to improve my ball striking and now play with these in stead of the 57’s

Might use the 57 again over the winter, role reversal
:( :p
 
I love the look of the MP-32s but I'm not brave enough (or good enough) to go to full blades and if the heads are even smaller, well, that would just completely mess with my head! :D
I love the way MP-57's feel. Needless to say, I'm very happy right now. Really cannot wait until tomorrow's round. Weather is looking good too (sunny intervals 13 degrees). SWEEEEET!

What about the new MP63's ? can't wait to give them a try.
 
You know I don’t really like the look of the 53 and 63. Not sure about that diamond pattern at the back.

If I were to need I new set tomorrow it would have to be the MP68, now that’s I nice looking club.
:cool:
 
I have the MP52's, which are not the prettiest at the back, but when behind the ball look superb. I assume 53's and 63's would be the same.
 
How come you don't have a handicap?

Me? Because I only started re-playing again this year after a 6 year break away from the game. Haven't joined a club yet, but should be a member of my new local within the next few months so should have a handicap by the time Christmas rolls round.

I'm currently playing to around 16-18, but since starting up again in April, I've probably only played 10 times as most of my summer was taken up by American Football training.
I've now sacked that and will be concentrating on golf. Hoping to be down to around 12 h'cap by this time next year.
