July 20, 200420 yr How do you get a custom set? I am sure you have connections, but I am asking more for the regular consumer. Can we order through someone, or...? Thanks, D
July 20, 200420 yr Absolutely SPECTACULAR set of Mizunos! I love the grind on BOTH sides of the soles on those irons. Was that a special request on your part? And what shafts are you currently using in those irons? Thanks Chris!
July 20, 200420 yr Author Absolutely SPECTACULAR set of Mizunos! I love the grind on BOTH sides of the soles on those irons. Was that a special request on your part? And what shafts are you currently using in those irons? Thanks Chris! The grind is the standard grind for the MP-27s, Its kinda killed on the leading and trailing edge sides. The shafts I have installed and am loving are the NS Pro 1050 X-Flexs which I think play very much like PX 6.0s.
July 20, 200420 yr So what was that you mentioned about a set of satin, M-stamped MP32s with matching wedges?? :whistle:
July 20, 200420 yr I posted at thread here yesterday but it seems to be gone/deleted? I was wondering if you got any special grind on the wedges?
July 20, 200420 yr those look too clean, you have to go hit some balls and get them dirty!! nice clubs!
July 20, 200420 yr Author So far 2 rounds in with these sweeties and I am very happy. Id like to start off with what custom features it has, the grind shape everything is stock MP-27 except with a Satin finish, Mizuno text removed and the M stamp inserted. I selected NS pro 1050 X flex and they flex out by feel almost the same as my PX 6.0's. The lengths are half an inch longer and the lie is .5 flat over normal Japanese specs. The lofts also match the Gauge Design Irons lofts at 1-2 degrees stronger. Yup they are on steroids :laugh: My wedges 52 & 58 both have NS pro 850 G.H shafts to create a head heavy feel. This means they had to make the heads special heavy to spec out at D4 with that shaft. Forgiveness ( 4.0 ) Its very forgiving considering the way it sets up. I am comparing them to the XCB and Gauge Irons and would say the Gd's are more forgiving but the MP-27s are more so than the X-Cb. Distance ( 4.5 ) These irons are just as long as my Gd's because the lofts are jacked the same. I lost very little distance with mis hits. Feel ( 4.5 ) They shine in this department, I would have to give some of the credit to the way the shaft absorbs vibrations. The pure perfect shots come off very soft but not mushy. Trajectory ( 4.0 ) High with the long Irons and mid with everything else, again its gotta be a loft and shaft combination producing it for me. I am very satisfied with the results. My optimum trajectory for almost any club is what the S300/TM Driving Iron gives me. Overall I give these irons a rating of 4.25 / 5pts total. My first round was amazing two hole outs from 100- 110 yds out. I am having problems with the 58* having such a large bounce from hard pan lie. I did nail Every bunker shot within 5 ft from the pin for both rounds. My bunker game is not so hot and these have helped me so much I'm going to stick with the LW and try to learn to hit it better from the grass. I'm not 100% sure if these will knock the Gd's out the bag. Only time can tell.
July 21, 200420 yr What's the bounce on the 58* ? I'm accustomed to playing 60* low bounce wedges and my new Gold's Factory is 58*, 12* bounce - hope I can still hit it nice and high when needed.
July 21, 200420 yr Author What's the bounce on the 58* ? Â I'm accustomed to playing 60* low bounce wedges and my new Gold's Factory is 58*, 12* bounce - hope I can still hit it nice and high when needed. The bounce on the 58 is 12 also.
July 21, 200420 yr Author How is MP27 compare to MP30? Easier? Jack your spoiled with the forgiveness of the GD's I think you should go MP-27 MP-30 Combo or just MP27's. The 30's are not forgiving in my book, more along the lines of the TM Rac Cbs. I also ordered me the MP-33 PW because i thought maybe the 27 PW would be a tad bulky but was surprised that it was perfect. BTW check these out: Nikel Finish
July 22, 200420 yr Fantastic pics Chris! Thanks! Now to figure out how to pay for a set of those. :money:
July 28, 200420 yr Oh my...look at the finish on those mp-33's.... :love: Â :love: Â :cool: Â :cool: Have to agree with you on that Shoe . They look stunning :cool: But I will bet that they are mega :money:
July 28, 200420 yr What does it take to get ahold of the black 33's?? PLEASE tell, don't keep it a secret!
July 28, 200420 yr Author I just ordered a set of MP-23's in flat black and also a set in Satin M stamps as well as some 37 custom satin M stamps for customers, in about a month and a half you guys should see a lot more pics of these coming around. I can get them finished in factory black if you wish just drop me a PM.

July 28, 200420 yr Black finish: Is it an additional finish-meaning is it on top of chrome? What about bending will it crack the finish like Cleveland TA5s gunmetal?
