Mizuno iron questions

[limpalong]

I had a set of the MP-H5's for two rounds and dumped them. Have played lots of Mizunos over the years.... MP32, MP33, MP29. IIRC, had at least 3 sets of the MP33's. I really did not like the MP-H5's. However, it was probably the shaft more than the club.
Have heard nothing but good about the JPX line. And, the 850 forged is awesome.

There's no better feeling in golf than a ball coming off the face of a Mizuno iron... hit well. The last set I played any length of time were MP32's. Just finally decided I didn't have the game for the MP line. Should never have picked up the MP-H5's, but 'pretty' trumped common sense. I would certainly recommend hitting balls with any Mizuno irons before taking a big leap. From your G5's to the MP series would be a significant change. At our age, we need to enjoy the game... not work at it. I'd really look hard at the JPX or the 850 forged as a "first step".

MX-23's were one of my favorite sets of irons.

From what I saw on their website, I really like the MP-54's.

If I didn't have such a desire to play Wilson Staff everything, I'd go back to the JPX 800 pro irons. Pure butter melting magic sticks those were.
But alas, id recommend you buy the Wilson Staff FG Tour v4 irons.

Am currently "leaning" towards the JPX-850 forged. But those H5's are SO pretty.

I "learned" on these brutal things. Oops. I meant the McGregor "Nicklaus" irons he used.

Anyone know anything about the Srixon Z545 irons? They look nice too.

JPX-850 for the win! My brother has them, they look and play amazing.

Yes. I've posted elsewhere about them. Part of my new bag.

When testing I found them the easiest clubs I've ever hit.

Did you try Mizuno's?

Yes, tried the latest MP something or other. Not the MP-5; the other one.

Those Srixon's only hit hole in ones, you won't like them.

I just picked up a set of MP53 heads for $95 on ebay that I plan on migrating to from the MP57s this winter. It's really crazy how cheap you can get some great irons for as long as you're not obsessed with bag chatter marks.

Spent a fun afternoon at Golf Galaxy trying all kinds of irons. They have a fantastic setup where you can hit just about any head/shaft combination of all the club makers except Srixon. I hit the Mizuno JPX-EZ, JPX-850, JPX-850 forged, Callaway Apex forged, and Ping S55. You'll never guess which was the prettiest and also easiest to hit. Some were easy to hit but I lost 10 yards off my G5 distance. I'll let you guess awhile before I tell you.
