I decided to go with the 54*/9* MP model. Since coming off of the older 588s & 485s Clevs, there is a noteable difference in "feel" that I couldn't imagine before. Sure, the material makes a difference, however, by making this move, I have realized that having gained the "touch of feel" I found to have it's most impact around the greens. This wedge by Mizuno has added a positive in my short game in regards to the confidence and the ability to place the ball closer to my landing target on the greens in the chipping arena. Bear with me while I'm on my shallow soapbox. You just had a "warm fuzzy", that overwelming satisfaction, to have your 43-foot putt end up 8" from the hole, it's the same "Warm Fuzzy" that I get when I have this wedge in hand. Depending on the cover of the ball your using, your ball will check with a noticable reaction. I did have to invest time around the practice greens in order to adjust to the characteristics of this wedge. The learning curve was a whole lot shorter than I expected, and even with my poor techinque, this wedge just made me look good. Acceptable tight groupings, consistant distance and no unexpected hot shots off the face that ran away. If you try to get too cutesy in your technique, your going to know it...not even this wedge will reward me in a crappy attempt to B.S. the ball. I have found that the weight of the Mizuno wedges are fairly light (anything compared to my old 60* Clev tank is light) and so, the adjustment in the physical memory had to be adjusted and that was a learning curve that I had to deal with. The face is soft, it is made from 1025 carbon steel, and you will need to love your equipment esp. these wedges if you want them to last. If you are the type "A" golfer, who doesn't care to clean the face off each shot, your going to short live the life of this instrument in a heart attack hurry. If your the type "B" golfer, and expect your stuff to stay new as the first day you got them, and scratches are reacted as if it was your car, your not going to enjoy these at all. The type "C" knows that these are ment to wear out, but we do not hurry the process. In the hands of the right operator, these are a deadly weapon. Thanks for hanging out, JHSchwarzkopfRead full review
I am 65 years old and have currently an 8.9 handicap index. I have tried many wedges over the past 50 years. However, the Mizuno MP Series wedges were the first wedges with the new square grooves I had tried. They are simply the best wedges I have played for shots under 80 yards (my clubhead speed has dropped). I currently have a 60 degree and a 56 degree in my bag. They both allow me to aggressively hit down on running pitch and chip shots more than ever before because I know the ball is going to come up with some spin on it and that will let me hit the ball to the putting surface and have a little check-up action before it releases and runs out. This is a great help on fast greens and when pitching to elevated greens. They both are also the best wedges I have ever played from the sand. Once again they cut through the sand well and provide a very helpful level of spin on most shots. Their clubface seems to wear rather quickly. I have used a groove tool to keep the grooves sharp. I bought the 56 degree model used and I am now considering investing in a new 56 degree club because of the significant wear accumulating on the face. I liked them so much that I bought a 51 degree model. This one did not work out so well for me. It was the same length as the 56 degree club and I did not get the distance I wanted from the 51 degree set up. The feel and spin were both great on the 51 degree club but I wanted to hit it further. So I had it bent to a little over 50 degrees, added an inch to the shaft, and put a Golf Pride grip on it. This made the club a little too heavy for me and I didn't gain enough yardage from the changes. I think the club will be fine for a younger, stronger person but I'm just not that strong. The feel was altered too. I liked the original feel better. The club was put back up for sale on E-Bay with all the changes described so I hope a younger, stronger person bought it and will get a lot out of it. These are great wedges and I highly recommend them. Good luck, Scott.Read full review
Mizuno makes a great wedge. While I may be partial to Cleveland wedges myself (particularly the CG10 series), this club was almost enough to have me cross lines... ALMOST. The wedge does hit great and has that "buttery" feeling you hear everyone use to describe a Mizuno. However I felt the sweet spot was a bit too small, especially if you try to use this club from anywhere but the fairway. Perhaps a bit sophisticated for my skill level as a bogey golfer.
The weight while initially feeling a little light is perfect for finesse shots as well as from the fairway. From what I've read from other reviews you DO have to take care of them. Considering how they're made wedges such don't have a long shelf life compared to less expensive manufacturers. But as long as there are grooves they wil perform. These, like Vokey's are a perfect example that 'you get what you pay for'. Mizunos in good-to-very good condition are truly a bargain at the right price. Remember, its the operator who has to put a value on cutting strokes. These wedges will help do that.
The club is easy to use and is accurate, I love it.
