Mizuno is continuing its forged iron heritage and legacy with the introduction of the MP-60 forged iron featuring the company's Cut Muscle Cavity design technology. The MP-60 iron, according to Mizuno, builds on the Cut Muscle design of its popular MP-32 irons. The Grain Flow Forged MP-60 is four percent larger and has a 10 percent larger sweet area when compared to the MP-32. Utilizing patented Grain Flow Forging technology and the Cut Muscle Cavity design, Mizuno said its engineers were able to strategically position weight in specific areas of each club to create a flighted sweet spot location, and a precisely placed center of gravity, while maintaining the maximum amount of solid feel with added forgiveness throughout the set. The result, Mizuno said, is an iron that delivers a consistent and predictable ball flight, with a slightly higher trajectory in the long irons than the MP-32, and a mid trajectory, similar to that of the MP-32s, in the scoring irons. Other features of the new MP-60 include a rolled leading edge, cambered mid-sole, and rolled trailing edge that Mizuno said deliver consistent striking ability from all types of lies. The MP-60 is available in right and left handed models (S300 only) with True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 and R300 steel shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet 58 Round Grips standard. The suggested retail price for a set of MP-60 irons is $1,200.00 (3-PW). Other shafts and grips as well as flat or upright lies are available through Mizuno's Custom Club department. The MP-60 is also available with a 2-iron in right hand only. Copyright 2005 PGA.com. All rights reserved.
