About the Mizuno TP-9
The TP-9 - TP for Tour Proven - was Mizuno's left-hand-exclusive forged blade, introduced in 1986 through the Mizuno Tech van programme and kept in the US custom catalogue into 2000, giving left-handers access to a Grain Flow Forged blade while the MP line remained right-hand only. Lofts are classic and weak by modern standards, with a 37-degree 7-iron and 50-degree pitching wedge, and the set ran from a 2-iron to a 56-degree sand wedge, sold through custom order only. Mizuno's US irons timeline windows the model at 1990-1997, which reflects its main catalogue years rather than the 1986 introduction Mizuno's own product page states.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Mizuno TP-9 7-iron?
The Mizuno TP-9 7-iron has a loft of 37 degrees, with a 61-degree lie and a 36.75-inch steel-shaft length.
Was the Mizuno TP-9 really left-handed only?
Yes. Mizuno's own product page describes it as available exclusively for left-handed players through custom order, making it the left-hander's counterpart to the right-hand-only MP blades of the era.
What does TP stand for on the Mizuno TP-9?
Tour Proven. The TP series covered Mizuno's tour-derived irons and woods from 1986 into the late 1990s, and the TP-9 was its long-running left-handed blade.
Finding a used set
The Mizuno TP-9 ran from 1986 to 2001 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.
