The Mizuno MP-63 golf iron is the latest evolution of Mizuno's hugely popular MP range and builds on the success of the MP-62, Mizuno's most popular tour iron. By building on the profile and design legacy of the MP-62 Mizuno have sought to create an iron that offers even more in both feel and versatility.
Naturally, Mizuno is targeting lower handicaps with the MP-63. In the crowded MP line, the 63s occupy the slot between last year's MP-68 (Mizuno's current "tour blade") and the MP-58 (which promises a little higher launch and slightly more forgiving option). The other new MP iron, the 53 provides the most help in the MP line, with even higher launch and more forgiveness. With four current MP models, Mizuno offers more options for better players than most other manufacturers. Like the MP-53 irons, the MP-63 irons feature 360 degree grind to make the top line and sole appear smaller than they actually are and this works well.
The Mizuno MP-63 irons are big improvement on the rather bland MP-62 irons they replace. This time there is a real technological improvement with the Diamond Muscle design which increases the size of the sweet area about 1cm in each direction in a head that is the same size as its predecessor.
Design
I don't know exactly what Harmonic Impact Technology (HIT) is exactly, but it sure sounds cool.
While developing the MP-63s, Mizuno tapped their tour team to blindly try out various new concepts. The winner, reportedly unanimously, was the "Diamond Muscle" design, the latest in the line of "muscle" themes Mizuno has used in recent years, beginning with the Cut Muscle clubs, continued with the Dual Muscle MP-52 and 62, and last year's Dual Muscle Titanium MP-58 and 68.
One of the primary design goals of the MP-63 was to improve on the feel and playability of the MP-62. So they copied the head size, top line, offset, and sole width, and then set to tuning the sound and feel and enhancing the grind to improve the irons' versatility in shot making. The former involves the aforementioned Harmonic Impact Technology, while the latter primarily has to do with the visible 360 grind on the trailing edge to improve turf interaction.
In reality, Harmonic Impact Technology is a cool way of saying that Mizuno studied the sound the clubs make when they strike the golf ball and tuned the clubs' design to optimize the experience for players. Much of what is experienced as "feel" is actually sound, though a well struck shot with a quality forged iron produces a sensation of solid, almost soft impact. The result of the tuning was the "Diamond Muscle" design.
