  1. I am a highish handicapper, and recently checked the lofts and lengths of
    my 1 year old rbz irons against my 13 year old mizuno mp 33s. The rbz 5
    iron is between the 4 and 3 mp 33 iron. However, I hit the mp 33 4 iron a
    bit further than the rbz 5 iron. So the conclusion is, the mps hit the ball
    further all things being equal. As i hit the mps I had to improve my strike
    quite a bit, but after a while I got the hang of it again. So my conclusion
    is, blades improve your swing, and so called “helpful” clubs actually
    degrade your swing. If you go back to mizuno blades, it might actually
    tighten up your swing, Mark.

  2. I’m looking to get fitted for MP 54s as a Christmas present to myself,but I
    am not sure if they are a comedown from my current set.Should I go for the
    MP-4s instead?Just to brag.I play Mizuno MP-29s I got off ebay for
    $250.People gush about them,saying they are the greatest irons Mizuno has
    made.I recently picked up golf after a brief foray 20 years ago.I am a high
    handicapper,(I assume as I have no official handicap).After 3 months of
    practice I can hit the Mp 29s fine.Don’t assume that blades are only for
    experts,if I can hit them so can you.The sound is awesome when you middle
    the ball.Nothing swells one’s head more than people saying “Wow,blades.How
    do hit that 3 iron?”.Up to say a 5 iron,after some tips from my local
    driving range pro,I am within 3 metres of the target pins.Apparently my
    grip was too strong.

  3. TaylorMade makes you feel there is a little bit more “tech” in there. It
    makes you feel “big” contributions thorough out the whole assortment.

  4. I game MP54’s and I’m a 27 handicapper. #itsallaboutthestrike

    I wanted a club I could “grow in to” and there is not a club, in my opinion
    better than the MP54 ;-)

  5. Hi Mark
    I did this comparison yesterday on a 6 iron, and Liked both clubs felt
    the Mizuno is less forgiving but felt I could shape shots with it and looks
    good for a forged club. TM CB was keeping me more on line, and seem to
    give me something back if i hit it low on the face, of late I am Pulling a
    few shots and find myself coming inside a bit but when struck sweetly they
    both performed the same.

  6. By and large, most of the OED irons will perform similarly in their
    respective categories (blade vs blade, cavity vs cavity etc). Full kudos
    to Mark for saying (once again for those people who can’t get it thru their
    heads) that he likes the feel and looks of the Mizuno and that this comment
    is purely subjective. Any performance differences between the two clubs he
    leaves mainly up to the GC2 stats. 

  7. To me, Mizuno should have stopped with the MP-52. Subsequent models have
    been poor by comaparison. I currently game AP2. But I still have my 52’s as
    a backup set. I also think TM is heading in the right direction with the MC.

    Regarding lofts, I did have my AP2 4 and 5 iron lofts adjusted +2 and +1
    degree respectively to give me a perfect 4 degree gap throughout the set
    which equates to 9-11 yards. This was not so much to hit a certain
    distance, but to improve the gap between 4,5, and 6. Three degrees was
    simply not enough for me.

  8. Hi Mark,

    Great videos, although i want more cours vlogs but i guess it just can´t be
    all fun and games 😉

    To the point, what happens if you compare these two clubs but with same
    shafts? I just did a custom fitting on a set of MP-54´s and i tried
    different shafts. The DG S300 gave me a launch angle of 14.8 and 5200 RPM
    spinrate, then i tried them with KBS Tour S and got to launch angle 16 and
    6000 RPM spinrate. And since the Dynamic gold is standard for MP-54 and KBS
    Tour is standard for TM CB Irons, would this not affect the test when you
    are comparing two heads with such different shafts? For instance that the
    MP-54´s would ballon for you with KBS or that the CB irons would fly alot
    lower with DG shafts?

    Thanks for all the great videos!

  9. Mark, could you please stop repeating the “buy in” stuff, when talking
    about the Speed pocket on the Taylor Made. You are a reviewer, whether
    we(the consumer) buys in to it or not is irrelevant. If YOU feel like it
    makes no difference, then tell us… That’s why we watch your videos.
    Thanks for the videos, keep getting stuck in :)

  10. Mark, I almost bought JPX-825 because of your reviews. I ended up with
    Adams MB2 5-GW and MP Fli Hi 3 and 4 irons. I hit out the center more with
    the smaller muscle backs but need extra help in the low clubs. Try MP-54
    vs. EZ with scoring irons on the course. Thanks for the channel!

  11. Was looking at changing from my aging MP57’s and possibly going down the
    54’s route, however after testing them like for like I felt and found no
    difference at all. Justify the expense…….. Sorry Mizuno,for me they
    don’t look nice enough and I am an avid mizuno iron fan. Good review though
    Mark.

  12. Probably worth pointing out the loft on the 54 6 iron is 30 whereas that 5
    iron is 24.5 degrees. Shame it was a comparison to the TP MC irons as those
    lofts are almost identical.

  13. Haha, I was just deciding between he the 54 and the TP CB. I also chose the
    54 based on the looks and how much softer it felt than the Taylormades.
    Awesome set of clubs.
    

  14. Mark, Great videos keep them coming. Being that you are such a huge muzzy
    fan, can you pit the new AP2s vs the MP54s. The perfect players irons with
    help. Mizzy grain flow forged vs the #1 trusted brand in golf. I would
    love to hear your thoughts thanks.

  15. Great stuff, for me, totally unbiased. Yes, you like Mizuno, but that
    doesn’t make it a bad review. You can like strawberry ice cream and still
    give a review on vanilla even if strawberry is your favourite!! 

  16. As someone who plays MP54s I so want you to put them back in the bag – go
    on, you know you want to! I’m off 11, you will murder them…

  17. I’ve been golfing NOT even a year i wanna send you a video so you can help
    me and give me tips but where do i send the video to? 

  18. totally agree about looks and having a favourite or preferred brand. I play
    Wilson staff FG V2 based on how they perform but also I love how they look
    and I have always used Wilson from my very first set as a junior
