mizuno mp 52's perfect or pointless???
i have a bit of a dilema going on in my head as to wether im good enough to play these irons?? i currently play off 26 but used to play off 12 20 years ago and im getting back into the swing of things and its only my short game thats letting me down and stopping me from getting back into the high teens again! i currently play mx 200's which are a pleasure to play with but im unfortunatley a tackle tart and for some reason believe that the better the product the better ill play. i purchased an mp60 6 iron off ebay just for playing around with but have no problem at the range with this iron and find the feedback and feel is superb! i do have the odd shudder rom the club every 10 hits or so but really fancy an mp iron for pure looks and playabillity. Anyone feedback from anyone playing these irons or similar would be very welcome. many thanks shane

Of course you are good enough to play these clubs, why shouldn't you be. A club is a club is a club.

I think you have answered your own question Shane, to me feedback is everything you hit them well there's nothing like it and when you don't they let you know. It is far more rewarding than hitting mundane shots that you can't shape with these oversize perimeter weighted gimicky clubs,they just don't tell you if you stricking well or more importantly badly.IMO.
I say fill your boots, but make sure you get fitted correctly.
Good Luck.

Shane, I bought an MP52 6 iron, I think they are one of the best looking clubs made. The first shot I hit felt like i had been smashed over the knuckles, the second shot felt like a knife through butter, lovely.
At the moment i'm sticking to hitting mundane shots that I can't shape with my oversized gimicky R7 XD's! (Thanks Dave)
If I improve as well as I hope in the next 12 months may be santo santa will bring me a set.

Dave,
When you can hit the ball as far as you do you don't need to worry about shaping shots you just need to get that 'Not Lucky Putter' working!

Shane, your accuracy did not improve overnight just becaue of these clubs, the stiff shaft is what has produced the accuracy yet I doubt you needed the change.
Too many players are playing with stiff shafts just because of the accuracy, when in actual fact they would be better off using regular shafts and learning to swing properly.

I think you should delete the last two posts, Shane, as they are identical to your post at 0910 hrs.
