Mizuno's MP-69 Irons & MP-59 Irons Review

When it comes to classically good looking irons that have a throwback feel to them, few companies put out more than Mizuno. The iconic MP line of discount golf clubs that Mizuno puts out each year fall into this category and the MP-59 and MP-69 are no exception.

The new 4D muscle pad on the back of the Mizuno MP-69 irons' clubhead, strategically places the weight progressively throught the set to produce easier-to-hit long irons with a slightly higher ball flight than before, whilst the shorter irons remain cleaner and more compact with a high center of gravity for improved trajectory control. The MP-69s offer great levels of feedback thanks to Mizuno's Grain Flow Forged clubheads, that produce an improved impact sound and feel.

The Mizuno MP-69 irons are targeted at Tour Players and low handicap amateurs. The MP-69 is a muscleback set, evolved from the discount MP-68 irons. The centre of gravity changes through the set to give a higher flight on the longer irons and this does make them a little more playable. As you go down to the short irons the feel and flight are excellent, although the progressively shorter heads start to get a little on the compact side by the time you get to the wedge.

The new MP-69, the next iconic Mizuno Muscle Back iron, was created by blending our PGA Tour Staff input with the latest state of the art design and simulation tools. This iron is the perfect balance of Grain Flow Forged feel and unmatched workability. The MP-69 irons feature our newly developed 4D Muscle design. A strategic weighting strategy from 3 iron through PW ensures ideal COG placement in every iron throughout the set to deliver total ball control and a predictable trajectory.

During the elaborate Grain Flow Forging process, the pure Titanium material is forged into the muscle of the Mizuno MP-59 irons to deliver a 5% larger Sweet Area compared to the cheap MP-58 irons, the iron that debuted Ti Muscle Technology. The lightweight characteristics of the pure titanium allows for the ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area to deliver consistent solid feel while simultaneously providing a dramatic increase in perimeter weighting for enhanced playability.

On the course, the Mizuno irons performed beautifully. Both sets offer a penetrating mid ball flight that works extremely well in almost all conditions with the MP-69s flying just a bit lower than that of their slightly more forgiving counterparts. The leading edge of both sets offer just enough roundness as to not come in too sharp and be prone for digging and combine that with the versatility it offers to hit large varieties of shots in any condition.
