I purchased a set of MP57 irons at the turn of the year ,after custom fit in Glasgow and I have struggled to play well with them.
Basically , unlike my old MP30 irons ,they feel uncomfortable, as the handle end feels too thick. My old Irons had Dynamic Gold shafts with tour velvet grips , the new MP57's have Nippon 950 nspro shafts with m21 grips. Both sets were fitted as standard size. On telephoning Mizuno , I was informed that there was no difference in size,in either grip or shaft. With this information I approached my local Pro on the subject and he confirmed the new grips were most certainly thicker in feel. We decided to replace the grip on the 4 iron with a standard Tour velvet grip and there was simply no perceptable change in feel - still too thick.
On telephoning Appllied Golf Technology in St Andrews , I was informed immediately that the Nippon shaft is slightly thicker and they suggested a thinner grip. Has anyone else come across this problem. I am now playing my old irons again ,until thinner grips are fitted at my expense.
