Summary: I was never a golf junkie. I always shot in the 90-100. After I got a job working in the Golf simulators. I started working on my swing. I used to play with Square twos and Nike CCi's. After finding out I'm a lefty, used to play righty. I dropped 10 strokes in 4 months. My pro told me I was good ball striker and should try for some players clubs. The Nike VR split cavity was my first option. A client let me hit his Mizuno MP 57 and after hitting 10 shots with 3 different clubs. I was like this set is for me. Luckily I didn't need to tweak anything. I'm standard length, and lie. I have played with Mizuno irons for about 6 months and I love them. I have the MP 57 4-7 iron and MP 68 8-PW. I would have gotten the MP 58, but they don't make them left handed. FYI you lefty golfers. The 57's are great clubs that have the softest feel. Like everyone else is saying these are forged so if you don't strike the ball correctly you will lose about 10-12 yards and stings your hand. I say this club can be used for a scratch to a 10-12 handicap if your a consistant ball striker. Choose with what you like and feel. Don't pick the clubs that look the coolest. KJ Choi plays with G15 cavity irons. I hope this review is helpful and good luck everybody with your golf season.

Summary: all revies were good, but I need some help advice from someone out there.I have used Mizuno Pro T-Zoids irons for 10 year. Once I hit a forged club the first time there was no going back. I'm about a 12 handicap by they way. I bought these irons used, and played pretty well with them for years. I recently discovered that the S400 shafts in them were very heavy and extra stiff. Instead of reshafting them, I went trying new clubs. New Mizunos were a little out of my price range, so I bought the Adams A4's. they are a beautiful club, forgiving and forged. I have them taped up because I'm not sure I'm keeping them and haven't gotten burned on many sets before.
I love the 7-w. They have a similar feel to the Mizuno's and I hit it them 20 yds. farther!..but for some reason I don't get near the feel or performance from the 5-3 hybrid, and have a mental block with even hitting the grandpa hybrids even though most pros are hitting them now.
Traded the Adams for Taylor Made Burner 09's. they get rave reviews, but after playing with them twice, hated them. They are huge heads and don't help me in any way, and are more of a super game improvement club. If I have to hit some club that makes you naucious looking down at it and looks like a childs club...to play decent, I might take up gardening.
and to boot, I sold my babies to my best friend who is killing the ball with them and starting to kick my A$$!
dilemma.....get the A4's back and learn how to hit the hybrids, or get some used MP 52's or 57's. wonder if any of you tried all three of these clubs? What are the differences between 52's and 57's. I'd love the new 58's, but don't have an extra $900 bucks laying around.
Help!!! I need to just make a decision and go with it before I have to sign divorce papers.

Summary: I'm an equipment junkie and I've tried lots of stuff. I picked up a used set of these a couple of months ago. My game is just outside the "player's" category of irons, but I wanted to hit these every now and then and see how my game progresses. I am extremely happy with my purchase. I don't find these clubs to be hard to hit at all. Granted, I hit hybrids for everything above a 6, but I find these irons to be surprisingly forgiving for a club in this category. Distance control is where I see a big difference. Feel is superb, and I have no trouble working the ball in either direction (compared to my Ping G15s which I have to coax a draw out of). Also, Very easy to control trajectory. I shoot in the mid-low 80's generally, so my consistency is not the greatest, but on my good days, these clubs make it a great day.

Summary: just got a set of mp-57 by far the best irons i have ever hit. if you are in the market for some irons and you hit the ball pretty well you need to try the mp-57 .
