I’m always amazed that there are golfers who want to argue that only blades produce the best feel/shot shape/etc. If that’s true, then why do more than 70% of PGA tour players play cavity back clubs? That is the logic for me. Mizuno makes fine golf clubs, but no one can argue that a pure blade is easier to hit consistently that a cavity. No one has commented that Mizuno also offers the chance to mix blades with cavities, or cavity with other models of cavity backs.

Absolute rubbish MJ – a soft girly fade and a nice lazy draw are produced from different swing paths, NOT different clubs. Remember, there is a difference between ball flight and ball height. If you can nail an MP-67 you should crush an MP-62. If you owned MP-32’s and MP-67’s you wouldn’t heed the advice of a shop guy and yield to hitting an MP-57 – a real cavity

After playing my first 4 rounds with these clubs I felt compelled to post a review. I previously played the Mizuno MP 67 (S300 shaft) and loved the classic look, feel, and performance of a true player’s muscle back blade. However, after a year with them i was still unable to consistently hit them where i wanted. They seemed like just too much club for someone who plays only 1-2x’s/week. When i hit them pure, it was amazing, unfortunately it just wasn’t on every shot.

In comes the MP 52s. These clubs are just truly amazing it’s not fair to my friends i play with. They are straight as an arrow, have great trajectory, amazing Mizuno Buttery feel, and yet are still workable left and right. With all the forgiveness that the 67’s just did not deliver. I’m usually a high 80s low 90s player, but i just shot a 79 for the first time with a pair of 82s and an 84 the first four times i used them!! I can’t believe it. The confidence these clubs inspires are great. I suggest the Project X shafts for players who think the S300s just don’t feel right. I got them in 5.5 flex. Overall, I highly recommend these clubs. Mizuno sacrificed nothing in accomplishing a truly forgiving, player’s style club. Feel is great, trajectory is fantastic and the performance is unattested by any other club.

MacGregor MT muscle backs from the late 70s. Remember those? I got out of those clubs finally in 1991 and lived life in the perimeter weighted world of Titleist DTR (’91 – 2003) and then PING IST (2003 – ‘09). Finally, I managed to find my soulmates again in the product known as the MIZUNO MP62. One-half inch longer S300 Gold TT shafts and a 1-degree upright build is all it has taken to fall completely in love with the game again. I carry a 7 handicap and in my second round with the MP62 I forged an Even Par round of 35 on the back nine from 3,300 yards. Dollar bill divots. A ball flight that can be easily controlled for penetration (wind) or butterfly landings with a controlled high fade, the new set of MP62 have me reliving the glory days of “blades” but with a nominal dose of forgiveness. Sure, there’s been a little sting here in there but I haven’t begun my work on the practice range to build a solid relationship with the MP62 yet, from 3 iron down to PW. I have ZERO worry that my move into the MIZNO MP62 was the right move for me this Summer.

The MP 62s are a players iron. I played the 67s and noticed that the 62s feel just as good, and hit the ball just as good flush. If you ever mis-hit the ball which all of us do, unless you are Tom Watson or Fred Couples, the ball won’t go offline as bad as the 67s. Overall they are a 67 but more forgiving, and they are extremely workable.

Having owned MP 32’s ans 67’s (Both were MINT) I hit the 62’s.
They were crap. Hit a soft girly fade with them. The guy said maybe I would be more suited to a 57. Hit that worse. I said give me a 67. I flushed it so pure and sweet, he made me hit another.
The purest sweetest shot with a nice lazy draw. Time after time.
I said don’t give me CAVITY CRAP. I want a real blade. Mizuno release a TRUE Players club a REAL replacement for the MP67 and I will buy it. I will not listen to your HYPE. Stop releasing Cavities.
Go back and make a Real blade to replace the 67. I have since gone to Callaway Prototype with TTTC X-1 shafts and they are mint.
I would love to try a New Mizuno blade with the TTTC X-1s in it. If Mizuno don’t bring back a Pure blade, then I may get another set of MP67’s. If you like cavities, go the 62. If you are a Blade man, stay away. The 62 is not a blade, and it does NOT behave like a Blade. The Mp 32’s were great, but I liked the 67’s even better. The 62’s are not in their league. Not even close. They should be compared to the MP60 not the MP67. Articles LIE, Ball Flight does not lie. I love Mizuno. I believe they make the Greatest irons on the planet. But they would be 33’s and 32’s and 67’s Please continue something on this path. Regards MJ

I have a set of MP-32’s and absolutely love them. I haven’t been able to hit these yet but would love too. Ive had my 32’s for 5 years now so it might be time for some new irons. I dont even know if I need to hit them before I buy them. mizuno makes the best irons of any club company out there for lower handicaps and im glad to see that they are still producing something for low handicaps as it seems everyone else is trying to get you to buy something very forgiving with huge offset and thick top line.

I got these new MP-62 custom fit with the dynamic gold S-300. Ah yeah! These are wicked sweet. The best forged iron out. Mizuno just keeps on making their irons better and better. These play unbelievable. Great distance, trajectory, accuracy, and pretty much anything you can think of. Less offset, thin sole and topline. A true player’s iron. Mizuno’s reputation precedes itself, the best forged iron in the game hands down.

I have just bought a set of MP 62. Took a few practice rounds/driving range to get use to,but think I have finally got it to work for me. Played a couple rounds in really harsh winds in Cape Town South Africa and believe me the wind did not stand a chance.

It should take a mid to low handicap a month or two to get the clubs to work for them. Great clubs
