A few months back I purchased a a set of Mizuno MP5 5-PW with stock DG shafts. This set were my first Mizuno clubs and I bought them to replace the Ping S56 I had played for nearly 5 years.
Within a few rounds I knew I liked the impact sound of the MP5 more so than the Ping's. Also, my shot trajectory was a bit higher with the MP5 compared to Ping S56. And the divots I produced with the MP were more to my liking; specifically, a bit wider and deeper.
My original purchase was for MP5 5-PW, and the MPH5 in the 4 and 3 iron lofts. However, after approximately 20 rounds, as well as some hours of range time, I was not getting the shot consistency I wanted from the MPH5's. Specifically, accuracy was a challenge. Also, quality contact was not consistently happening. I liked the appearance of the MPH5 at address, however I think its relatively wide sole was causing the clubs to bounce a bit off the turf, causing shot accuracy to suffer. Or, it could have been that the MPH5 C-Taper Lite shaft, which is lighter than the DG's in my P5's, was hurting my swing tempo a bit. So, I replaced the MPH5 with the MP5 4 and 3 iron, and am now enjoying improved accuracy from longer iron shots.
Compared to my previous S56 long irons, the MP5 has a bit larger head, a more pleasing impact sound, and approximately 10% higher trajectory.
In summary , after 30 or so rounds of golf, as well as some hours of range time, I am very pleased with my first ever Mizuno irons purchase.
