Does anybody use these? or has tried them?

Anyone have opinions as to their level of difficulty?

I dont have a handicap at the moment. I had a lesson about a month ago and my coach said that with my swing as it stands, i should be playing to about a 10-12 handicap (assuming my putting doesnt fall to pieces which it does at the moment)


 

If there is such a thing as a "players cavity" these are close. Not much offset, thin topline, nice club.

Depends on what takes your fancy, maybe you might be better served asking your coach this question ?

good point

though it doesnt hurt to hear what others experiences have been like with these..


 

I play off 11 and recently had a few hits with a visitor to my clubs MP 60's and to put it mildly I WANT A SET!!!!!!

They look lovely at address and even off centre hits went good distance. They seemed much more forgiving than my irons and felt superb. I know Mizunos have a reputation as "players" clubs but I think even a decent ball-striker could use these - MP 32s,33s,67s etc maybe a different story though.

 

I've had the MP60's for a good while and think they are suitable for anyone near enough to single figures. Way more forgiving then the MP32's and they feel almost as solid when hit well.

I found they weren't as expensive as expected either, and they look great too wink.gif

Check their Oz website for a demo night and go try some.

 

Awesome ... just buy em !!!

 

yes very good clubs you wouldn't expect any thing less from Mizuno if i ever upgrade i'll be going for a combo set of MP60 & MP67

 

I have a set of 60s and I had my irons custom fitted from 3 iron all the way through to my lob wedge. It is the best thing i have ever done to have consistency throughout my entire set of irons.

I am Mizuno fan and I like the forgiveness of the 60s over the 32s.

The 60s are targetted at a 10ish handicapper, I play off an inconsist 11 and they suit my game.

 

I got a set too and i have found they need more maintenance than the TM LT2's i previously had. If you insist on using iron covers with them to reduce chatter marks, they need to be protected with WD-40 or something to prevent them from rusting in the scratches on the face.

 

Do you find them hard to hit playing off 18? I thought they were more aimed at low/mid handicaps, but I guess handicap isn't always a direct indication of ball striking ability.

 

Hi,

You can call me a Mizuno evangelist!!

I've been using MP60s for about a year now. I love them. They just look so good at address and it gives you good feedback. However, like all forged irons, they are prone to little dings.

I play off 18, so you don't have to be a low handicapper to use these babies.

Peter, I'm a chopper - a reasonably strong one, but a chopper nonetheless - I find that I get better results with the 60s than I did with the x16s ... the shaft probably suits me better too ...

 

keep the posts coming I'm looking to get a set at the moment ...

 

Had them - played with them - matched them up ...

Went back to my Hogans... nothing wrong with them... just prefer the Hogan's... little nicer to hit badly.

Yeah, i keep my handicap at Riverside Oaks and only really get to play the minimum amount of comp rounds at Riverside. Mates make me play off 14 around Gordon in our Social comp.

 

Got em...LOVE EM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$%#@ Gordon!

I learnt to play my golf there almost 25 Years Ago.

Those houses down the first really got a beating!!

Hit the club house roof a few times coming home on the 18th.

 

I have MP-30's, which are fairly similar...tried the 60's at a demo night and not a lot between the 2.

I love my 30's, only issue I have at all with then is wear rate...on my short irons which I use a lot the face is starting to show a noticable wear mark after about 18months of use...that said I practise a fair bit.

They aren't that hard to hit, mid teens or better can definately look at em. A guy of 16 got a set of 60's at my club and loves em, he is down to 12 now though.

Make sure you demo first though...your opinion is really all that counts for your clubs.

down and out…did ya get that?

 

Someone mentioned a bit earlier the thin top line on the MP60. I've looked at the MP30 at address and actually thought it looked quite chunky, a similar thickness to Hogan irons.

Does the MP60 have a thinner top line than the MP30?

Or do my irons have a REALLY thin top line to consider the MP30 and Hogan irons top line to be thick?

not sure which hogan irons youre referring to, but if theyre the apex edge pros, the mp-60's are thinner

i dont think the mp-60's are chunky at all

 

MP 60's are definitely not chunky dude.

Very sexy looking set of irons man yum.

 

I have had my mp 60 ’s since Dec 05 when they first came out. I had a set of T Zoids pro 2’s before, which were fine until i tried the 60’s! All i will say once you had experienced the grain flow forged irons nothing will be the same! They are pure as and very forgiving and if you mis hit they still go on target. I have 2 other mates that now play with them too. I’m the lowest marker off 5 but one of the guys off 13 absolutely snots them! I also had a hit last week with the 67’s and wish i hadn’t…..

 

The best irons on the market in my opinion….I bought a set 3 weeks ago….......just changed from titleist 695cbs…......they are pure irons, nothing better that a quaility forged iron!

cheers

How do you feel when you get one pure and you don’t even feel it?

Without sounding weird for a newbee to this forum, its a sexual moment…...

 

bingo! the thread I was looking for. these are a set that I am considering at the moment.

Good to hear the reviews of folk who own them and have hit them… all good food for thought!

What are the stocck shafts like? Currently playing a True Temper Dynamic Gold R300… what are the reg and stiff shafts like?
