Mizuno MP-R Series

Reviewed by: bigpun1974 ,  Shoots in the 80s

Summary:
I have a 52 and 56 degree in black and my 60 degree is in chrome. There is a bit of a yardage gap in between my MP-32 PW and my 52 but it is not unmanageable. My yardages in between the wedges are consistant. These wedges have a lower ball flight and generate the appropriate amount of spin as opposed to too much spin that other wedges I have used can produce(Vokey SM, CG 12) I would recommend the Black finish as the chrome can be blinding in the right sunlight. A raw finish would be better but I do not think that Mizuno offers it.

Customer Service:

Summary:
I've been playing these for about 8 months, and love them, with qualifications. For finessing shots, half shots (incl. punches), and blasting out of "impossible" lies with the 56, I love them. But for full shots, they are quite lightweight. I have to apply a lot of power to get them to travel. I think the fault is mine, but the contrast between the 52 degree and my Mizuno MP30 PW is great. I'm not a long hitter with the short clubs, but when I can get 100 yards + with my PW, and maybe 70 yards max with my 52, I wonder if they're really the right wedges for me.

Customer Service:
None needed.

Callaway X-14 pro 56 (very nice, with rifle shaft), but wanted a 52/56 combi, and couldn't find a 52.
