Very impressed. Slightly thicker than the MP-69 blades, and provide the look and feel that will attract almost all golfers. Very solid-looking club at address, and the flight was high but controllable. Feel and sound of the club was better than previous Mizuno irons (which I also liked). Definitely a contender if you consistently strike the ball clean and are looking for a new set of irons.

Having made the decision to make the move to a Forged 'better player' iron, the MP-59 was top of my list. In order to maximise performance of these irons, I also underwent the process of finding out my 'Swing DNA' via Mizuno's Swing Analyser system. This led me to get the right shaft to compliment the MP-59's.

Immediately holding the MP-59's and looking down upon them at address gives you the confidence that you are holding a special club. This confidence comes from the club head size and profile, and the topline, which is just right in terms of thickness.

Undoubtedly this club is aimed at the better player, but provided your ball striking is decent, then you can expect to achieve sweetly struck iron shots that fly straight, get up in the air quickly and have that 'Tour' ball flight, that many players seek. Every once in a while you may strike one pure and at that moment you'll experience all of Mizuno's expertise in the art of producing Forged irons, as the shot will feel effortless coming off the club face. This feeling is enhanced by the ' Ti Muscle' insert that can be found at the back of the club, which only adds to the elegant look and feel of the MP-59's. Regarding the sound the irons make upon striking the ball, then this can only be described as, clean and crisp on the ear.

The MP-59's are certainly one of the best Forged better player irons out there in the market.
