My new holy grail??? Mizuno MP 59’s
Written by GolfWRX member: golfware
Whoa. I’m just speechless with these irons. Just speechless. Seriously….
So I see them in the the Golfmart today while my tires are getting changed. Saw them last night in Golf Digest and just had to try them. I’ve been lusting after the PING Anser irons for quite some time, but wanted to try them on a whim.
Looks: THESE are what an iron looks like. Whoa. While I love my Diablo Forged immensely, these irons are just so simple and pure at setup. The transition from hosel to face is so so smooth, and seamless. Just the right amount of offset, even in the PW! And I’ve never been a fan of the Mizzy PW, but these are slick. I just can’t believe how pleasing these are to my eye. Wow!
Feel: okay, so I’ve been a convert to forged for quite sometime. My Diablo Forged have converted me. Really. And while the Anser’s and AP2’s are kinda a soft thud, I’m finding a hard time finding the correct words to describethe feel of these. The word “pure” can be so overused these days, but it’s accurate assertion for these. Dang. Even with my least favorite shaft, the DGS 300’s, the feel is amazing. Mizzy is on to SOMETHING with these.
Dispersion: well. These won hands down. On the LM, I could put a blanket over my shots. 4 iron, 6-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron. Didnt matter. Just such a tight dispersion. Wow.
Distance: since I hit them on a LM, won’t go into details, but let ms say I was impressed. Very impressed.
All in all, I’m thoroughly impressed. I want to use the Mizzy iron fitter to get the correct shaft, although heck, I may just go with the DGS300’s.
I’ll take pics soon as a comparion with others.
WOW!!!

These Mizzy’s are so clean. I’m still fighting the demon in me that decided to go with the 53’s rather than the 59’s. I’m an intermediate player that shoots anywhere from 84-92. I did hit the 53’s better consistantly but like look/workability better of the 59’s. Any suggestions if you think the 59’s would be a good fit for me to switch to? Or are they really a “players” club?

I have tried these in the store as well and was very impressed. I have played Mizunos for a number of years and can’t seem to get away from them. I need new irons like the proverbial hole in the head, but these have created a serious itch.
