The discount Mizuno MP-59 irons are rated for the low to mid handicap golfer, but in my experience, you don't have to be an expert to hit them. I am on the high side of the rating (at 12.8) and I didn't have any trouble striking the ball.
First and foremost, they feel good and even though they are rated for the better player, you don't have to be a PGA Tour player to hit them. Also, I like the way they look. I will say, though, if you're accustomed to a wide sole and a large offset with your current set of clubs, you'll have trouble out of the gate with the MP-59s.
According to Chuck Close, the director of product development for Mizuno U.S. golf division, the MP-59 is most definitely a player’s club, used on the PGA Tour not only by Donald but also by Charles Howell III and Jonathan Byrd. But Close insists that the company has developed a way to make it “play bigger” – in other words, be more forgiving – broadening its appeal to golfers as a result even as it retains the compact head size and shape that tour pros prefer.
Mizuno removes weight from the cavity of the carbon steel, MP-59 heads and moves it to the toe and heel, upping perimeter weighting in the process and enhancing playability. Then, it forges 12 grams of pure titanium into the center of the MP-59 muscle. That is dubbed Ti Muscle technology, and it is designed to create a larger sweet spot while ensuring that there is just the right amount of thickness behind the impact area for what Close describes as “optimal feel.”
The Mizuno MP-58 irons for sale were Mizuno's first MP iron with a titanium insert. Mizuno struggled to get it out on tour. According to feedback from tour players the MP-58 felt like a multi-material club, which means it felt harder than they might like. So for the MP-59, Mizuno lets a ti oxide layer form on the titanium before they forged it into the head. Mizuno says it helps the titanium flow better and blends the titanium and carbon steel into one solid piece.
Part of the visual appeal of the MP-59s is the fact they look like a muscle back iron. You can tell Mizuno spent adequate time designing the MP-59s because they seamlessly blended the forgiveness of a cavity back with the look of a blade. The compact, traditional head shape allows you to feel confident standing over your golf ball knowing you look like a golfer who has game. And in golf, looking good and feeling good is half the battle!
To me a thin top line would look like an MP-33, which these don't. The top lines for the MP-59's aren't thick either, a nice blend between the MP-33 and discount Mizuno MP-53 irons. From the beautiful tear drop shaped pitching wedge to the classic looking 8 iron and on to the solid 4 iron. The transition is what you would normally expect, shorter from toe to heel in the short irons to longer and more shallow in the longer irons.
Even though I'm not normally a fan of a shiny chrome finish, the MP-59's don't create much glare in the sun and the finish gives it a very clean and classic look. A satin finish would outstanding on these irons. Source from: http://www.australiagolfsale.com/article-679.html
