About the Mizuno TP-11
The TP-11 was the long-running easier-to-hit model in Mizuno's European TP range, a forged shallow cavity sold from 1988 to 1994 alongside the more demanding TP-9 blade. Its reputation was made in April 1988 when Sandy Lyle won the Masters playing Mizuno's TP irons, famously escaping the 18th-hole fairway bunker with a 7-iron to set up his winning birdie. Mizuno's own retrospective timeline records a mildly irregular loft ladder — a 37-degree 7-iron and 49-degree pitching wedge — with lies flat by modern standards. Vintage-Mizuno historians link it to Mizuno's US MS-9/MP-9 generation, though period owners also equate it with the Japanese Mizuno Pro MS-11 stamping; the equivalence is disputed, so it is recorded here simply as the European model. Mizuno published no length table, so lengths are omitted.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Mizuno TP-11 7-iron?
The Mizuno TP-11 7-iron has a loft of 37 degrees and a lie of 60.5 degrees per Mizuno's own irons timeline.
Did Sandy Lyle win the Masters with Mizuno TP irons?
Yes — Lyle won the 1988 Masters playing Mizuno's TP irons, sealing it with his famous 7-iron from the 18th fairway bunker, and the TP-11 traded on that association throughout its 1988-1994 run.
Is the Mizuno TP-11 a blade?
No — it is a forged shallow cavity back, the easier-to-hit companion to the TP-9 blade, though by modern standards its compact head and flat lies still suit better players.
Finding a used set
The Mizuno TP-11 ran from 1988 to 1994 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.

- qsponge.com 'What is loft angle of Mizuno TP-11 Irons?' — an independently scraped copy of the same table, matching cell-for-cell apart from rounding the 5-iron to 29 degrees
- MizunoDBG vintage-Mizuno blog (mizunotp.tech.blog, 'History of Mizuno TP') — 1988-1994 production window, the Sandy Lyle 1988 Masters association, and the US MS-9/MP-9 and Japan Pro MS-11 equivalence claims noted (and flagged as disputed) in the description
- Mizuno never published club lengths for the TP-11 in the surviving timeline, so lengths are omitted rather than inferred; offset and bounce likewise. Confidence is medium: the loft/lie data is manufacturer-published but reached us through an archived retrospective
