THE WINNER
All four models scored well in our test. But the Mizuno MP-67 separated itself just enough to be crowned the winner. MP-67 was tops from the fairway and the rough, and for chips to the green.

Testers' Comments:
PROS "Feel is soft as a baby's behind. And who needs hybrids when it's so easy to control shots from rough?" — Mike Cochrane (handicap 1)

"As good as short-game clubs get. If you can think, these will execute." — Zach Fasman (10)

"Doctor Spin is in the house. These are juiced on chips." — David Doctora (4)

"The most accurate and precise short and mid-irons in the test." — Anthony Spikes (1)

"Superb feel. I know where and how I hit every shot." — Larry Coben (6)

CONS
"At least a half-club shorter on good hits. Not much help on off-center hits." — Mike Nastasi (7)
