PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The tour profiled MP-52 integrates a discreet pocket cavity for an uncompromising balance of shot-making and forgiveness. There are two differences that you would notice about this iron: First, the company’s “Cut Muscle” design of the last several years is missing, replaced with a very different “Dual Muscle” technology. Second, with the MP-52, Mizuno set out to make a more forgiving MP iron. The MP line has always been the domain of low and lower-mid handicappers. They have a reputation as being workable while providing a lot of feedback. Keeping up to those standards with a forgiving club is a bit of a tall order.
Twin crescents milled into the MP-52 deepen its Centre of Gravity – increasing stability from off centre hits, while remaining hidden at address. Forgiveness and workability are to a large extent at opposite ends of the same spectrum. Creating playable irons that meet the needs and preferences of better golfers is a gutsy undertaking for a company with a solid reputation among lower handicappers.
Mizuno bills its new MP-52 irons as the most playable MP irons ever, and that seems to be an accurate assessment. The MP-52s bridge the gap between the MX and MP lines. There’s an awful lot to like in these irons. The irons should be forgiving enough to be played successfully by 20-handicappers, yet workable enough to be played by a 5-10 handicapper as well.
PROS:
MP-52 offers good compromise of workability, feel, and forgiveness. Consistency and ability to work the ball is far better. Nothing feels forced when trying to draw or fade it.
CONS:
We could not find any prevelant cons with these irons.
Recommended for:
They are aimed to attract those mid handicappers who have always felt that previous MP models were not forgiving enough for them.
