The First Full Cavity MP Iron Will Provide The Perfect Combination Of Precision and Forgiveness
Norcross, GA (September 17, 2007) – Mizuno, maker of the world’s finest irons, has introduced the new MP-57â?¢ Grain Flow Forged iron featuring award-winning Cut Muscleâ?¢ Technology in a full cavity design. The MP-57 is the first iron in Mizuno’s legendary MP line that utilizes a full cavity, resulting in a larger sweet area and making the MP-57 the most playable MP iron in the storied history of the company.
Along with increased forgiveness, the MP-57s with Cut Muscle Technology will deliver the unsurpassed feel and precision that MP players crave. The result is an iron that delivers an extremely consistent and predictable ball flight and unmatched workability while also providing extra forgiveness that any player can benefit from.
"The unrivaled feel, precision, and performance of Mizuno’s MP line of irons can now be experienced by a much larger range of golfers with the addition of the MP-57 irons," said Dick Lyons, Vice President and General Manager, Mizuno USA Golf Division. "Nothing was sacrificed when designing this iron. The MP-57 has all the qualities golfers have come to expect from a Mizuno MP iron, unbelievable feel, maximum workability, and precise distance control, all with the added forgiveness of a full cavity."
Other features of the new MP-57 include a rolled leading edge, cambered mid-sole, and rolled trailing edge to deliver consistent striking ability from all types of lies, modified U-grooves produce the ideal spin rate for maximum playability in all conditions, and a durable double nickel chrome plated finish for a player preferred look.
The MP-57â?¢ will be offered in right and left handed models with True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 and R300 steel shafts for a suggested retail price of $1,000 and also available with Project X 5.5 shafts for $1,100. The exclusive MIZUNO/Golf Pride® M-21 58 Round grips will come standard. (Other shafts and grips as well as flat or upright lies are available through Mizuno’s Custom Club department.) Mizuno will begin shipping the MP-57â?¢ irons to accounts in September.
