YOUR GEAR | MIZUNO
These are not just another Mizuno blade iron that you don’t think you can hit. These are
a well-designed, moderately forgiving channel back iron you really might want to consider
putting your in bag or at least demoing them to see if they will fit your game. They offer the
purest ball striking of any iron you can buy. Don’t be afraid of the Mizuno MP-5 irons, but
embrace the joy of hitting one of the best shots in golf, a flushed iron.

The Mizuno MP-5 irons off the rack are pretty much ready to go.
They come stock with DG S300 shafts and Golf Pride Dual Compound
Blue/black grips. You can have them custom ordered with other shafts or
grips, but in all honestly they performed very well right out of the box. I found
their distance to be true and right at the distance range I wanted, an 8-iron
right around 150 yards and clubs moving in both directions at the appropriate
gapping. I even put the 3-iron in play, with good results to considering it has
always been a club I didn’t have any success with, but recently some great shots
have been hit from the tee and off the turf, the muscle is low enough that you
can get sufficient lift even with a 3-iron’s loft. From a FlightScope perspective,
these would be a very playable option for my
game. Good flight and dispersion were
had at the range as well as the course.
