Introducing the first images of the Mizuno MP-68 Iron, there has been talk on the web about Mizuno's next muscle back iron in its MP lineup. Pictures of prototypes have surfaced on numerous sites but the reality is that the all newMizuno MP-68 Iron will indeed be released in Japan. The new MP-68 Blademoves away from the cut muscle design that the MP-67 had and resembles the MP-37 with the muscle back developing from the toe area. The muscle back lines and edges however are smoother on the MP-68 than the MP-37 and some in Japan have said it reminds them of the classic MP-14 with its curved muscle back and sharp toe. Mizuno has also followed suit with its 2009 design guidelines by placing the running bird logo on the sole and the model MP-68with new MP logo in the toe corner. The 0verall head and face is very compact and coupled with the thick muscle provide the purest feel of any Mizuno grain flow forged blade.
Of course once the MP-68 is released from Mizuno Japan all this can be customized through TSG's Mizuno Japan customization program which includes finish and logo placement as well as some sole and top grind options. Yes it is an up-charge but imagine these combined together with MP-62's and the popular custom grind request of matching topline and sole grind to have the perfect even flow in your irons.
For the last several years pre release Mizuno head only sets have popped up far before the official release date. They look perfect to the untrained eye but when put on the scale the head weights are off and the hosel size often appears to be over or undersized. This has been the unfortunate case for many of Mizuno's MP models in recent years but it's a consistent pattern. Right now there are sets on Ebay and in certain forums of possible fakes. I'm sure if you contact Mizuno they will say these are not Mizuno authorized products. This confuses us because we have been under the impression for many years that Mizuno Irons were made in the Chuo factory in Japan yet the origin of these imposters are Taiwan & Hong Kong. It is my opinion that these are early production samples or defects that are discarded due to error. I have a feeling that these verypictures of the Mizuno MP-68 shown are an accurate depiction of what the iron will look like in its retail release but that they are an unauthorized set that are not weighted as accurately or up to the quality assurance of the retail version coming soon.
