This video series brings to light why certain clubs maintain such a cult following and what made them so popular to begin with.
This is about the Mizuno MP-32, an iron set that is as beautiful as it is functional. From the cut muscle to the sole design, equipment expert Ryan Barath breaks down some of the many design attributes that still make this a great club today (and a great value for those looking for a Japanese forged iron)

Earlier this week, Mitsubishi announced the return of its iconic Whiteboard profile with the new Diamana WB shaft.
In our launch story, we offered a rundown of the key technology in the new WB — 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber, Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber, Consistent Feel Design, and the Xlink Tech Resin System. To go deeper, however, we enlisted our Resident Club Junkie and bona fide shaft nut, Brian Knudson, to track down someone from Mitsubishi at the PGA Show. Fortunately, Mitsubishi’s Director of Global Aftermarket Sales, Jonathan Alongi, was on hand to answer all of BK’s questions.
Check out their discussion about the new WB, as well as the 20th anniversary of the original design, in the video above — time stamps of key points below, including a definitive answer as to how the surfboard graphic ended up on the original Whiteboard in 2004!
- :40 – Mitsubishi Japan expands to the U.S. in 2004
- :50 – “The shaft that set the standard”
- 1:12 – “The ‘board is back”
- 1:45 – WB or Whiteboard? Or both?
- 1:55 – The first iteration of the sixth generation of Diamana
- 2:10 – Incorporating key technology from a 20-year journey
- 3:10 – Modifying the tip section for more ball speed
- 3:50 – Delivering ball speed in a low-launch, low-spin shaft
- 4:20 – Drilling down on the shaft profile compared to the original Whiteboard
- 5:00 – The most impressive element of the new WB
- 5:30 – Butt, mid, tip specifications
- 6:00 – WB’s iconic graphics and the Diamana legacy — flowers, surfboard, numbering system
- 8:15 – An abundance of available weights and flexes
- 8:55 – More players going lightweight

Had a set of MP32 3-pw. Loved them. Played them in my 50’s. Felt I needed a more forgiving iron in my 60’s. Bought MPX825 Mizuno. What a mistake. Miss my MP32. Am now 70. Only play 1 or 2 times a week. Wish I did not trade in the MP32

Had the 3-6 in MP-32s and the MP-37s in full set usually using the 7-PW. Honestly liked the MP-37s more, but both great clubs. I think people oversell how unforgiving these clubs are. Unless you really miss badly, you can easily play these today.

The purpose of the cut muscle was to move the CG such that the sweet spot went from slightly toward the heel to the middle of the face. Some people percieve that to be more forgiving when really it just fully rewards you for hitting the center.

Hi there – love this iron! Please can you do a review on why the Callaway X Prototype irons / Razr MB are still relevant…. Thanks

Great video and enjoyed it. Gonna try and find a set or maybe 33’s or 60’s, 69’s. Cannot beat Mizzy and these great finds at a low cost. Thanks GolfWrx for great content.

Because it was a cavity back and not a muscle back, and a decent amount of offset, that’s why

Disagree on the cavity back assessment. All muscle. Like butter when pureed.

A decent amount of off set? I never noticed. These are my favorite golf clubs of all time.

First off that head of hair!! Lucky F-er haha. Anyways got a set of the “sister” clubs to those the MP-60 and even though they are a back up set ill never get rid of them. Awesome clubs and yea the PW is a tad round but it blends well with other wedges
