MP-18
The long-awaited Mizuno MP-18 line-up has been revealed, blending craftsmanship and art with technology for the better player. Mizuno have strived to make the MP-18 more playable and more forgiving, not by making it bigger but instead by making it smaller. The shorter blade length and low heel profile carry over from previous iron models, while the ultra thin topline has been further refined with an additional camber.
The scoring clubs from the 7-PW boast a progressively smaller and more sharply refined head. While all this talk of shrinking MP-18's footprint might suggest a drop-off in forgiveness, that's not the case. Mizuno says the new design has a sweet area that, despite its significantly shorter blade, is slightly larger that than of the Callaway Apex Pro and the Titleist 716 CB. Every element of the MP-18 design speaks to Mizuno's commitment to returning to the traditions of the MP-line. The only downside to these clubs is that they are not available to left handed golfers.
MP-18 SC
The MP-18 SC (Split Cavity) model is a compact cavity back, sensitively reworked by the same master craftsmen who created multiple major winning iron sets.
The slightly wider, cambered sole brings a greater degree of playability than the muscle-back iron. Compared to the MP-18 muscle-back, the heads are fractionally taller and the top lines thicker, again with a refined camber. The pitching wedge is also smaller than the other irons in the set. The MP-18 SC offers a larger sweet area in a notably more compact package. These irons are a great addition to the MP range and will no doubt continue to have the same sort of success many of Mizuno's previous irons have had.
Both sets of irons have an RRP of £899.99.
