About the Mizuno Pro TN-87

The Mizuno Pro TN-87 is the most storied blade in Mizuno's catalogue: a Japan-only Grain Flow Forged muscleback named for Tsuneyuki "Tommy" Nakajima and prized for the soft feel of its copper-underlay plating. Nick Faldo won both of his 1990 majors with it, and the head was later remade for other markets as the European TP-2000 and the North American MP-29, which omits the copper layer. Lofts run from an 18-degree 2-iron to a 48-degree pitching wedge with a 35-degree 7-iron; Mizuno reissued the design in limited runs in 2000 and 2014. Lengths below are the Japanese-market steel spec, which runs half an inch shorter than the equivalent US MP-29 build; 2-iron and sand wedge lengths were not published and are omitted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the loft of a Mizuno Pro TN-87 7-iron?

The Mizuno Pro TN-87 7-iron has a loft of 35 degrees, with a 60.5-degree lie and a 36.5-inch Japanese-spec steel length.

Was the Mizuno TN-87 sold outside Japan?

Not under that name. The head was sold in Europe as the limited-edition TP-2000 and in North America as the MP-29, which uses the same profile without the copper underlay beneath the chrome.

Why is the TN-87 so sought after?

Its combination of Grain Flow Forging and a copper underlay under the plating gives it a famously soft feel, and its association with Tommy Nakajima and Nick Faldo's 1990 major wins made it a cult classic. Mizuno reissued it in limited numbers in 2000 and 2014.

Finding a used set

The Mizuno Pro TN-87 ran from 1988 to 1994 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search the used listings on eBay, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
