The Mizuno MP-58 irons were actually a good fit since my last set of Mizuno. With the advancement in technology, this set was bound to be slightly more forgiving and consistent.
From the top and the face of the club, it is very hard to distinguish the MP-58 from nearly any other blade out there. It has a thin top line at address similar to my current blades. Also the size is very similar. If anything, the MP-58s are slightly larger. The look can inspire good mental thoughts and the feel and feedback will reinforce them. While the MP-58s may not look as simple or pure as a traditional blade, there might not be a better looking dual muscle club out there.
As a mid-capper such as myself, that can be a double-edged sword. I've always got just enough rope to hang myself with when it comes to working laser like weapons such as Mizuno MP-68 Irons. Still, more easily worked shots such as funky lies around waste bunkers and uneven lies around fairway mounds were virtually child's play. Give me something around a tree or other more intricate lie, however, and suddenly I am playing with a bit more club than I am able to take advantage of.
Again, there was no transition period whatsoever. I just hit the MP-58s the same way I would my current clubs. Distances were very similar. If there was one thing I couldn't do as well with the MP-58s on the course it was working the ball. I did not, and had a hard time, trying to hit a hard draw or cut. My normal draw was there, but not nearly as much as I am use to.
During contact there was a solid feel. I could tell where I hit the ball in the face of the club, but it wasn't nearly as precise as my current blades were. If I base the feeling of the 695s at 100%, I would say the MP-58s were around 75%. Definitely softer than the cast clubs out there, but solid enough for a person to get the feedback they need.
I hit a handful of what I would consider very good iron shots. I had at least four birdie putts inside 20 feet that were the result of well-struck irons. I only hit Discount Mizuno MP-69 Irons I wanted to have back but even those were not that bad. In the end, I hit 12 greens on a day where it was under 50 degrees, cloudy, and with winds blowing around 20 miles per hour. The conditions were not that good to say the least but I still hit some quality shots and the Mizunos helped me to a 74 on a good course without having played for a month.
Overall, MP-58 irons are the best feeling irons in the business. They performed nearly exactly as I had expected. The one area that I was caught slightly off-guard was the forgiveness. Source from: http://www.bikersingle.co.uk/article-694.html
