We love the Open Championship because it’s THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP, but also because it means we get our first look at the latest from Mizuno. This year is no exception as the company has started trickling out pics from inside the tour van, including the first public shots of the MP-5 blade.

As you can see from the photos, the latest MP blade is basically everything we’d expect from Mizuno. No frills, clean lines, and absolutely beautiful.

How does the MP-5 stack up to other timeless Mizuno designs?

Use the comments section to tell us which Mizuno blade is your all-time favorite?

Loved me some TP-9 irons back in the day. Pure musclebacks they are. Changed to MP-32 about five years ago. Shame MP-5 doesn’t come in lefty.

Currently play the MP-32. Love them. Have been hard pressed to replace those babies. Wilson FG62 is next on the list but these new mizuno’s could do it.

I play “MX-17’s” Mizuno irons and, love them. I only wish I could afford a newer set of Mizuno
irons like the “MK-850”
For my golf game, dreams don’t seem to come true.

Great…another $1500 set of beautiful irons most golfers will never be able to afford. However, with middle America disappearing and gofers leaving the game by the thousands each year, maybe Mizuno is going after the only gof market that can afford new irons!

Is the MP5 the love child of MP32 and MP4?

those are musclebacks, no? mp33 was a blade, right?

Just bring us a re-worked 29. Why the need to go all wavy and flow-y? Just make it sharp edged, sharp toed, thin top, solid muscle. Please.

I’m going in the opposite direction. Played the MP32’s the last couple of years. Picked up a set of TZoid Pro II’s the other day. Regripping tomorrow and playing 36 this weekend. Freaking pumped!

I love my old Mizuno iron. Need to update to these babies. Love the fact that they are forged. Can’t beat that feedback and feel. Best irins I’ve ever had.

Nice. I live my MP32s I’ve played the last 6 years. I like the new Boron irons, they are 15-20 yards longer off the rack.

Tom Duckworth

I think they look great in chrome beautiful flowing lines. Weight looks very low for a blade. I’ll bet they are easy to hit.

Jericho Das

I wish Mizuno would come out with a straight back muscle pad like the new 714 and the Miura baby blade… I would drop cash on the spot

George Palombi

They did The MS9 / MP9. 30 years ago.

To me it seems that they have adopted the Ben Hogan kind of design with two steps in the muscle. Or is it just my eyes and that shiny chrome finish? If this is the case I would prefer some older design. To me it is the minimalistic form of MB club like recent MP-68/69/4, that gives the club its timeless elegance. Start adding stuff like corners and other features to it; sure it may help hitting the ball but as surely you loose that elegance that came with the well known price.

Are Mizuno reinventing their blade design and if so, why? That is the question to be asked IMO.

Can “raw” be an option…that’s my only thought

Giancarlo Puccini

I love Mizuno but they look exactly like the MP 4.

Zoran

I play the mp4s and they are absolutely fantastic.. Went from HCP 10 to 5 with those blades. Lot of feel in them

Jason Geraci

I am on staff with them, I play MP-15s. Mizuno is the most consistent OEM

Joshua Voigt

Not what they once were!

Jason Geraci

Jim Lee

Leader in blades.

Steve Zastrow

Looks nice..I am sure of one thing..They aren’t for the average player

Greg Smith

That is a mighty perty looking iron!

David Hopf

9 years ago

Very nice!!!

Paul Mullin

They look just as good as my MP-69’s.. Although less beat up.

I’m sure they’re not any easier to hit, and just as rewarding when a great shot does happen. Some say only low single digit caps need apply… I beg to differ. If you play for money they might be a bad choice, but if you play for the joy of it, very hard to beat any Mizuno blade.

Tuscal00sa

Play for money is a common occurrence with my MP 69 setup. It is the “intimidator” and rewarding when the ball releases from the club face with a solitary click; well flighted and on target.
These MP 5s are a interestingly beautiful and full – on Mizzu (a muscle-bound Blade).

Chris Bourquin

Look sharp.

Chris Guise

9 years ago

always a great looking club

Senninha

pretty but hope there’s another finish…
