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)

Ryan Barath is a club-fitter & master club builder with more than 17 years of experience working with golfers of all skill levels, including PGA Tour players. He is the former Build Shop Manager & Social Media Coordinator for Modern Golf. He now works independently from his home shop and is a member of advisory panels to a select number of golf equipment manufacturers. You can find Ryan on Twitter and Instagram where he's always willing to chat golf, and share his passion for club building, course architecture and wedge grinding.

    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.

Titleist GTS driver fitting: 10 handicap vs. +4 handicap

Published

on

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.

Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.

You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.
