chssmstr58 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMMike Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 So what was that you mentioned about a set of satin, M-stamped MP32s with matching wedges?? :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 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.

jack0428 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 How is MP27 compare to MP30? Easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 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.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxio Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
