Description The MP-68 irons with 3D muscle technology are the next generation of muscleback irons. The innovative 3D muscle is the result of extensive computer optimization to deliver the ideal COG location that is lower and more face centered providing a penetrating and workable ball flight for complete shot control. The MP-68 irons also have a Tour Confirmed sole shape that ensures the appropriate amount of turf interaction for pure ball striking. Mizuno’s Grain Flow Forging process ensures that the MP-68s provide the best feel and ball control in the game of golf.

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: Mizuno MP 68's
Summary: Before purchasing these irons, I was playing Nike Ignite with huge cavities and shooting upper 70's low 80's very consistently. I was hitting them super clean, barely ever taking a divot (because too much earth would stop the Ignites dead) with a surprisingly high launch angle but never gained any distance or workability, even when changing my swing styles.
I came across the MP 68's last November and the guy gave me an offer I simply couldn't refuse: 20% off the $899 retail if I also purchased a Wedge (also 20% off). The deal was perfect because I wanted to purchase a 52 degree Cleveland to accompany the 56 I had. I ended up paying under $800 total.
I knew it wasn't going to be an easy transition to blades, especially blades of this caliber. It actually was quite hilarious how badly I muffed some of these shots.
I went to the range a couple times and started hitting down on the ball to the point that it felt exaggerated but it started working. I began to take nicer divots, which I was not used to at all with the Nike Ignites. I finally started getting the ball back off the ground with a minimal loss of distance at first.
After 3 months of playing with them, I can't believe some of these shots I'm hitting. I tend to be a little inconsistent still but mostly because I underestimate my distance! I never expected to be hitting 170yd 7 irons that cut through the wind like a laser (I play Appalachian golf so the wind is brutal at times). Once you start hitting these clubs the way they should be hit, you can feel and hear it...and it's beautiful.
If you're at the point that you may be moving to Blades, take your time and try out all of them before making a huge investment. Like I said, I got lucky with the pricing and even luckier that I picked the right clubs for me. Overall, the Mizuno MP68's are wonderful clubs. Simple yet sleek looking (if you really care about that) and so well balanced. You'll need to swing them a lot though because the heads are a little heavier than expected.
Either way, consider the Mizuno's and have some fun again... It's like I was brought back to my early days of Golf and had to figure it all out again! It was awesome, if you're into that kind of thing.

Summary: I think I might have bought my last set at least till these wear out. Great look at address. love thin topline and clean looks and the feel as you would expect from almost any Mizuno forging is awesome. Soft yet solid. I have true temper with sensicore to take some of the harshness out of mis hits but still enough to know where I hit it. The ball flight is alittle high which I like. Head shape is perfect IMO. Compared to previous mizuno blade it is slightly longer and higher toe. Ive carried mp 29,32,33,37 and 52 which are all great sets but this set trumps them all. You dont have to be a stratch golfer but I do believe you have to have some level of consistency to play these to there full potential. I would say 15 or less handicap wise. Obviously you are not buying these for forgiveness or distance but more for control feel and consistency. If you put a good swing on it they will deliver
Customer Service: Never used. The website is very imformative

Summary: As a young boy learning to play I only ever had access to blades, but as I got older, the people in the know all told me blades were "dead" not for mortals..so I moved on to Pings, Callaways, you name it, I tried it...Recently I bought some Callaways X forged 09s...great club..even managed to win a club "major" with them, but I still yearned for the blades of old..they just look awesome....hence when a swap deal was offered for my X forged for a set of Cally prototype X's I took the deal...and WOW....the feel was incredible...and only this week I managed to find the trade of the century...basically a well used set of X protos for a brand new set of Mizuno MP68s..as they are bringing out MP69s....played 2 1/2 rds with them...shot lowest scores ever!! off 11 and played to 8 both times...they are in one word..AWESOME.....

Summary: MP68 irons are very impressive. I just completed a demo of several Mizuno irons. All of them were 6 irons and brought along my DCI 6 iron as well. I almost passed on bringing the blade because I thought I would not be able to hit it. At the last minute I grabbed the MP68 blade and brought it along. To my surprise I hit the MP68 the best out of the bunch including my own iron. The feel is awesome. Smooth as butter. I love the ease to shape shots... draw, straight, fade. I like the feedback from off center hits. Very nice irons. I bought a set this afternoon and am anxious to take them to the coarse. Try these irons if you are considering a set of new irons. Do not let the blade design intimindate you... try it.
