None Tried the 5 iron at a golf shop and like the feel. However, most of the reviews has the shaft TT DGS300 and the one that i tried is DGS200. Can anybody tell me the difference. How does it compare with the rifle shafts. I''m playing with DCI981 rifle 5.5 and i though that i need a stiffer shafts. Similar Products Used: None |

None I have just recently upgraded my old set of mp-14 to the mp-33. While both sets are similar in appearance, the mp33 is easier to hit due to the fact that the mp33''s are more toe weighted than the older mp14s. Don''t get me wrong, you need to have a pretty consistent swing in order to produce good results. In fact these irons provide instant feedback and tells the golfer where the clubhead hit the ball on mis-hits. Once you hit a perfectly executed shot, it feels like hot knife through butter. with these forged blades, you can actually work your shots depending on the situation you are in. I have to disagree with the previous review that these blades are only for looks. There is a reason why these blades are used the most in the PGA, and i assure you that they are not for looks alone. They make a living out of playing golf and they better make sure that their equipment would deliver. After all is said and done, looks are a subjective matter. For a "scratch golfer" (referring to the previous review), he seems to be shanking the ball too much, a trait not usually found in "scratch golfers". i suggest taking some lessons to develop consistency, and maybe these clubs will show its true potential. Customer Service went to the mizuno demo days to try out the mp33''s. staff was helpful, efficient and knew how to address my needs. Similar Products Used: hogan apex plus |

None not a good club for beginner. not forgiving at all. you have to put much speed and strentgh to make the ball fly. i don''t regret it to buy this clubs, because it looks good on my bag. and i intend to practice hard to be able to play it. so...don''t buy if you don''t intend to practice hard. Customer Service none Similar Products Used: taylor made steelburner, wilson prostaff, honma, and some very old clubs from the 80''s |

None Now finding the best iron is as easy as ABC thanks to this informative site. Just sort it by the number of reviewers, and you will find the top 5 are all Mizuno''s. All you have to do is to pick one that fits your purpose (but not necessarily your current level). If you want to improve your skill, even if you are hitting over 100, MP-33 will be the best choice. It will tell you how to swing and hit ball just like your private teacher. True, it does not compensate a bad swing, but tells you it was bad and how and why. In the long run, you will be hitting iron much better and consistently and as a result, getting better score. Guaranteed! Customer Service You can adjust loft and lie angle any time even after you bought it since it is true forged. Similar Products Used: Ping i3 blade --- I have almost bought i3 blade before I found MP-33 by chanse. It is a good iron but does not match MP-33 in terms of feeling. |

None great set of clubs. topline looks good as does the "muscle back" of the club. they seem less forgiving then the 14''s. playability is very good. not as heavy as it could be, but still feels solid. Customer Service not great. norcross service is o.k., but the field sales guys don''t care. i guess thats what happens when you sell all the clubs the company makes. Similar Products Used: 681''s |

None This hear iron isn''t that good. If you miss it at all it don''t go nowhere but sideways and nowhere. Also, I felt like they should have made it more easy to hit so that your scores wouldn''t be so bad just because you happen that day to be hittin it bad. The Callaway VFT irons are probably better but I''m gonna half to steel them from a store nearby to be able to play them. Blades are only to make you look good and a real man knows his limitations. Customer Service Probably not so good but I don''t know because their in Japan. Similar Products Used: Ping Eye 2 and those old Hogan blades that Hogan named after his son called "The Edge". |

None First, these are great golf clubs. I traded CompEZs for the MP-33s and don''t think I will regret it. I have learned most golf cavity back clubs to not have a "sweet spot" so the MP-33s are a new experience for me and the feeling of a great shot is addictive. As forgiving as the Comp EZs in direction but nowhere near as forgiving in distance. I think anyone who makes solid contact can play these clubs even if they have a high handicap. Most of all, these clubs make you a better golfer. You are forced to focus on every shot and the feedback immediately lets you know what went wrong. The PW alone will help your short game day one. As far as distance, be careful when people claim a club is shorter or longer than another. The number on the iron means nothing as different vendors use different lofts. For example, the CompEZ 3-iron has a loft of 20 degrees which is only 1/2 of a degree more than a Titlest 990 2-iron. The MP-33 has a 22 degree 3-iron so of course it will play shorter than the CompEZs. The MP-33s go high and land soft. You have to hit the ball hard but must keep control of the club. As far as working the ball, a fade is easier to produce than a draw but my skills in this area are not strong. Using the MP-33s have made be a better driver of the ball as the swing I have had to groove to nail the 3-iron works great with a Titleist 975J driver too!! For reference, my USGA handicap index has ranged from 5.9 to 8.1 in 2001. You can buy these on the web brand new for $579. Customer Service Have not needed and hope not to.

None this is incredible, who''d thought mizuno''s will beat any other clubmaker ever tried, also blades which as easy to play as cavity backs, superb feel and superb distance. Who says that you need to be scratch to play, I played an iron only game, no woods and managed a score of 89, and that''s with 41 putts. haha. expensive but I got a +1 inch(i''m over 6 ft) and it feels like magic...who''d thought that clubs could improve one''s swing so drastically.....buy it, whatever the cost, if you wanna improve.....definitely my fav iron set.
