More info on Mizuno MP-58 Irons

Introducing the new MP-58 irons with revolutionary DUAL MUSCLE TITANIUM™ Technology! During the complex Grain Flow Forging process, a high-tech Titanium metal is forged into the outer muscle of the iron, which not only delivers the feel, workability and shape every MP player desires, but also takes playability in an MP iron to a whole new technological level. The light weight characteristics of the pure Titanium utilized in the MP-58s allow for an ideal amount of thickness behind the impact area to ensure the legendary soft, solid and consistent feel one expects from a Mizuno iron, while simultaneously providing a dramatic increase in perimeter weighting for enhanced playability. The MP-58 irons achieve the rare combination of a penetrating ball flight, increased MOI, and superior feel, all in the ultimate player’s head shape.

Company line: "During our patented Grain Flow Forging process we forge titanium into the outer muscle of the iron. This unique design enhances perimeter weighting while maintaining the feel normally associated with our forged blades. (Mizuno MP-68 Irons)The outcome is an iron with the playability of a blade and enhanced forgiveness."



Golf Magazine TESTERS SAY:

PROS: Tops for feel and look; one of the most workable cavity backs; more forgiving than past Mizuno muscleback blades with comparable performance; boring trajectory cuts through wind and provides outstanding accuracy; fantastic touch around the greens;(Mizuno MP-57 Irons) technology is evident but not in your face; several panelists said they’d buy it.



CONS: Not quite as soft and smooth at impact as pure Mizuno musclebacks; long irons can be a bit challenging to hit, even for more accomplished players; you must be precise with these thin-soled clubs from rough.



From Sports Illustrated Golf+ Equipment Issue (February 8, 2010)

"This is the first multimaterial forged iron that Mizuno has created in the U.S. With the breakthrough Dual Muscle Titanium technology, we were able to forge a high-tech titanium into the outer muscle without using any adhesives or welding. We’ve maintained the soft, solid, consistent feel that MP iron players have come to expect, while also taking playability in an MP iron to a new technological level." — David Llewellyn, golf club R-and-D manager
