Simply put, you get out of these irons what you put into them. If you work, truly work, to hone your swing into a repeatable motion, then these irons will respond with accurate shots and lower scores. An added bonus gained during these hours of practice is the ability to work the ball left or right, high or low, as needed. If, on the other hand, your inclination is to hit a bucket of balls once in awhile, do not buy these irons (or any other blade). Get cavity backs, preferably forged for the feel and feedback only forged irons gives. Lastly, if you do consider these irons, in my view it is a mistake to use a shaft other than Dynamic Gold. The trajectory off these irons is high and the DG shafts, with their high kick point, help manage the shot's trajectory better than other shafts I have tried. In addiiton, other shafts (particulalry Rifle and even DG with Sensicore) mute feedback and feel which, im my opinion, defeats the whole point of playing forged.

Attention 10-15 handicappers everywhere: you CAN hit these beautiful clubs purely, serenely, and accurately. And you can look like a cool dude who has "got game" at the same time. Fear not. I have owned every single iron on the market (which makes me sort of a geek, I know), and I tell you this only to underscore the following statement: I believe the MP 33's are as forgiving as virtually any cavity back out there. Now I say this with one important proviso which is that you have to be reasonably adept as a ball striker, and if you're in the 80's consistently, then you probably are. To me, a horrendous mis-hit with a Hawkeye (the most forgiving club in the history of irons) feels just as raunchy as a bad hit with the Mizunos. Bad is bad, no matter what you're swinging. But hit the 33's anywhere between so-so and great, and you're in for that wonderfully silky feel that the best forged blade maker on the planet can give you. Though they look like the MP 29's and MP 14's, (I've owned two sets of each) the 33's are much more forgiving. The feel is heavy, solid and soft. And accurate. Lofts are a bit high, compared to other brands, and I strenghtened them 1-2 degrees, which gave me a penetrating flight that is as long as anything I've played. Take care of the heads, as they nick up easily. Then go out and enjoy the game the way it was really meant to be experienced. And fear not: the clubs are in such demand, you can always trade them for top dollar if you disagree with my review.

beautiful clubs, very playable. nice and heavy with a great feel. these were my first muscle back irons, and i can safely say that they are not made exclusively for the scratch golfer. would recommend for anyone shooting in the 70s or even low 80s. great feel, especially with the 6 iron and up.

Back into the game, I have had the golfing bug for about 2 years. Had been playing callway x14 for that time but decided I was ready for something a little more serious. I was very nervous about picking up these clubs because of their reputation as being hard to hit (blades). Have since been on the course about 20 times this year with them and I sure these will be my clubs for the next five years. Honestly, they aren''t the hardest clubs to hit in the world. Blades from the 70''s and 80''s are harder to hit. Mizuno has incorporated modern day technology which I believe make these a little more forgiving than traditional blades. However, these are not cavity backs. A little consistency is definitly a requirement to consider purchasing these irons. If you can hit your short and mid irons with any consistency, these clubs will only help you to improve. If you think about it, blades are like a training aid because they force you to concentrate and think about ball striking. When you make a bad swing at the ball you will definitly feel it and it will discourage you from making that swing again. Bottom line. I have never honestly shot lower than a 83, but I consistenly shoot in the 80''s. I am not the best golfer by no means. Do not be afraid by the mp33, if you are serious about improving your golf game and willing to work at getting better, these irons will be rewarding. At 700 dollars a set, these clubs are an investment. If you are tired of tinkering around with the latest cavity back technology( you won''t ever keep up) and are ready to buy your self a set of irons I know you will keep in your bag for several years. Check these out. I won''t waste time saying "they feel like butta" like all the other comments, because you have probably heard that. Truth is any decent club that is struck in the middle of the club face will feel like "butta", whether it be callaway or mizuno.

Simply the best. These clubs are utterly amazing. The feel just goes up your hands to your spine and into your soul. It''s amazing but I''m scoring just as well if not better than the Callaways that I''ve been playing. In fact, the Mizunos are 1/2 to a full club longer. If you compare the head size of the Mp33 vs the Callaway or other game improvement club, the size of the hitting zone is not that much different. Do yourself a favor and go try these.

I decided to try a forged blade and wanted to try the best, despite all of the reviews that these were a players club and you had to be close to scratch to play these. My first two weeks with these I was consitently in the mid 80''s. About the same scoring as with my X-14 PS. The one difference to me was the amount of feedback you get from these. The bad days and swings finally caught up to me. My wrists would hurt for days. (Bad wrists from riding cafe style motorcyles) I decided to check my ego at the door and sell them. My solid shots were great, nice penetrating ball flight. I had the best sucess on par threes while using these irons. I still give them the highest marks for value and overall rating

if the mp-33''s were priced at $300 a club it would still be worth the money to own a set of them. i think that a first time golfer would have a hard time hitting with these clubs, but then again they would have a hard time hitting with any club. the bottom line is, if you have the ability to swing a club, you should be swinging a set of these. go have a pro fit you, make sure they suggest a shaft type for you, and order a customized set. i''ve been playing with the wrong shaft flex (too weak) for some time and it has restricted my game, but after hitting one time with my customized set of 33''s I won''t ever have to look back. I hit a bucket yesterday and not every shot was a perfect shot, but every shot was a good shot, the few mis-hits I hit only lost distance not accuracy. do yourself a favor and find out for yourself why the pro''s choose to play mizuno, it isn''t just because they look great, but they do that too.

Customer Service

great customer service is hard to find. there are just a few companies of any idustry which excel far above the pack. mizuno''s cs is among the best you''ll ever find.

Superior Irons. I believe even though they cost around 800~900dollars, their definitely worth it. Although, if you are on the course, and you are playing terribly, or having a problem with your swing with these clubs, you would wish you never had these clubs. Otherwise, their definitely worth getting them.
