I purchased a mixed set of MX-23 (4-7 irons) and MP-32 (8-PW). What a way to get the best of both worlds! MX-23's are more forgiving than any of the irons I've ever hit. (list below) My 4 iron is better than any utility club I've tried. The MP-32's are like having the feel of your favorite sand wedge with 8, 9 and PW distance! I'm thinking of trying to get another MP-32 PW bent open into a 52 Gap if possible because I like my PW better than my Cleveland CG10 SW!. I really recomment these irons. As a higher handicapper I was a little timid about buying the cut-muscle long irons and have loved the MX-23's but if I see a single MP-32 long iron on ebay I'm definitely going to give it a try.

These irons felt amazing off an artificial mat and off that Ping plate thingy (that helps measure appropriate lie angle). On course they were a different club. Granted, one should never judge a club by two rounds of play. However, I had such pain and swelling in my hands from -- I believe -- digging the clubhead into the ground that I couldn't hit play another round for over a week. My best hypothesis is that my normal angle of attack is too steep for these irons and as a result, the lower bounce of the clubs makes the club head dig. When I demoed the clubs at the store, I had the chance to compare them to many other iron sets such as the Callaway X-Tour, a Cleveland cavity design, the Titleist 735, among others. The MP-32s felt the best by far. I couldn't believe that their play on the course could have been so different. To further compound the confusion/disppointment, I checked my launch, swing speed, smash factor, etc. on a launch monitor and everything seemed perfect. According to the monitor at the store, I rarely missed a 6 iron, hitting 7 shots 195 yards, witha smash factor of 1.4 and above, and with minimal dispersion. So the moral of the story is -- I'm not sure. When I caught a clean hit, they were so accurate that I almost didn't care that my previous several had almost cracked my wrist bones. There was nothing in the store fitting/demo that would have led me to believe that they would hit so differently on real turf. So, it's back to the Nicklaus JNS irons for now, a club with which I've had zero issues. My recommendation is that this iron should be demoed on grass turf lest ye be disappointed by a completed different iron personality, or worse, by a stick-related injury.

These are very nice clubs. I came back to Mizuno after playing Hogan Apex blades for a few years. My son and I went to the US Open this year and looking into the bags of the pros the two things we noticed the most were most of them are playing something with a bit of "game improvement" and many were useing hybrids. I have been wanting to make some changes and so went to a demo day. We narrowed it down to MP 32s and Ping S59s. He picked the S59s (they have stronger lofts so they go farther) I chose M 32s. Mizunos feel better. I think this is one of the reasons most players play Mizunos. They just feel good. They also look good at address. Mizuno makes great products. The other thing I did was took my ego out of the bag (most of it at least) and replaced my 3 & 4 iron with a 4 hybrid and replaced my 5 wood with a 2 hybrid and added another wedge. I would like to hit the new MP 60s because I love new equipment but these clubs are great. If you are fundementaly sound you could do no better than these clubs.

I recently purchased these clubs again with the R300 True Temper shafts and all I can say is "oh my god"!! these things totally rock. GIR is not a problem, sometimes me miss-gaugeing my distance and hitting over the green is. even if you cast swing these baby's you still get a satisfying distance. Most amatures who play golf (like myself) tend to cast swing leaving the ball short in distance and high at impact. almost every professional will tell you to work on that and purchase some off-set Irons. Well these Irons are not off-set at all and I tend to pull or draw the shot, hitting square on the face. I absolutely love these clubs. Best game improvement iron of it's class (and probobly the very first blade game improvement iron ever!). I am not a Mizuno spokesman or a salesman. I'm a scratch golfer like yourself. If your eyeing down a set of these, I strongly suggest you try them out first at a driving range or take a 7 and a 4 iron with you for your next round. If your a cavity back player, I think your gonna be amazed at the results. If your a blade player, you not only will not loose anything by these, but you'll gain a real surprising forgiveness with no shock to the hands on miss-hits. I've seen the negitive reviews that were written by some and I think it's the shafts, or length and lie that these people were fighting, not the clubs. get your swing looked at, and remember, all pro's will tell you to get an off-set Iron. Off-set Irons just make me crazy now. Nothing beats a good, old style iron when your looking down at the shot.

These clubs are sublime when in the proper hands. A significant improvement over the MP 30s I used a few years back. I'm probably getting 5 more yards then my last set.

I live in florida play golf 12 months of the year. Work hard at the game and have played nothing but blades for 5 years. Maruman the last set I played before I bought the MP-32 set. I also had a long run with two diffrent sets of MP-14's wore each set out. Along with wearing out two sets to T Zoid pros. I have a good swing with solid fundamentals. I have reservations with the MP-32's its seems as though they can't decide what kind of club they are. Have good performance in the short Irons. 8 Iron is especially long. The ball flight is high. The seven Iron up they start to get quirky. You have to spend time to work with them. They have their own characteristic. I find the diffrence between drawing the ball and fading it is too unstable. I do not like the set too much from the 6 Iron down. Even though I hit some shots very long and pure, the feeback just is not there like a true forged blade. The 3 and 4 Iron have a nice ball flight for long Irons and distance is good. However they call for as much perfection you have to give a complete muscle back Blade without the satisfaction of fell you would get from other muscle back Forged blades. The problem with the Maruman's I had is they were old technology and did not have the distance. I wanted to find a solid forged blade with good distance and feel with more of this great forgiveness they advertise without giving up the feel of a blade. Forget it does not exsist in this set. I will play with these a bit. But I am going to try the MP-37 blades and a few other sets. These are good clubs and there is quality but no where near the hype Ive read. Golf Digest rated them #1 for the year, but Golf Digest's Yearly golf club review sounds like a group of hill billies that go whacking clubs in the field and they decide which ones they like and were "real purdee". Again I can play these clubs and hit them well. The distance is good but they do not have the feel of forged blade. The response is slow getting to you. But yet require just as much hard work as a blade and their own quirks to learn the club. Better off in my opinion of going one way or the other. Get some nice cavity forged or Get flat out forged muscle backs.

I've gone through many years and hundreds of rounds with my trusted MP14's and I decided it was time to move on. The chrome was all gone, the grooves were pounded down and they were quite rusted. After reading the reviews on this site, I went out and got custom fitted for a set of MP32's. +1/2", 2* Flat, 1* strong, rifle flighted 6.0's, backwards velvet lites, etc. My first mistake was taking these out of the box and directly to my local club. I shot a paltry +10 where I've been able to break par on numerous occasions. If it werent for my existing clubs (driver, wedges, putter) in my bag, I wouldve been destroyed. Every shot I took with my new 32's was an exercise in fustration and humility. Where I had grown accustomed to my 14's and hadnt thought of my swing in decades, I was now concentrating on my alignment, tempo and swing in general. What happened?? In hindsight, I really shouldve gone to the range to work these puppies in. In the 14's I had the stock S300's with velvet lites w/o tape. They were also stock length and stock lie. Fast forward to a few weeks and about a thousand range balls later, I'm beginning to gain some of my lost confidence back again. While every shot with the 14's were buttery soft, I'll get 3 out of 5 which are so, and the other 2 would leave me shaking my hands out from the sting. I'm seriously considering replacing the 3-5 with the MP60's which I was able to demo last week, but not sure if I really need to. All in all, these are quite nice. Mizuno has once again made a terrific club! The ball flight pattern is a bit higher than what I've been used to, but the workability and feel is definitely there.. I just need to find it!

I picked up a set of these Saturday morning for an awesome price figuring I could sell them if I didn't like them. The clubs are beautiful but good looks don't mean much if they don't play well. In two days I've played 45 holes and I have mixed feelings. These irons have more loft through the set than my old irons so unlike a lot of people, these are shorter than my old clubs (and what lofts do the people play that are hitting these two clubs longer?). They are also 3/4 of an inch shorter so that's taking a little adjustment as well. Spin and feel are excellent and I know where the ball is going the second it comes off the face. The swing weight feels lighter than anything I've ever hit and the feedback seems consistent with the quality of the swing. The clubs have a tendency to draw the ball and I find it disconcerting. I like to play a high cut with my long irons and I couldn't easily produce that shot with these clubs. The short irons are a little higher than I'd like but that might be due to the shaft length difference; for some reason I feel like I'm "looping" the ball up in the air. A ball hit from a tight lie will stop immediately, even with the long irons. They also seem to cut through the rough easier than other clubs I've tried but that might be more of a perception than a reality. My initial grade is a B- but I should know more after hitting more balls.

My follow up review after 3 months of use. Absolutely great, I have a developed a pretty good swing in 3 months compared to 1 year of hitting game improvements which hides your flaws. I hit the sweetspot all the time and can work the ball right to left with confident. Left to right I still have no confidence as to where I would like to land. The feel is just amazing compared to my other set Tourstage z101 a cavity back muscle. Which is softer than Mp32 and it easily get dinged by rocks each other while in the bag.

Tried all kinds of irons after playing the Mizuno Sures for the past 5 years. I thought it was time to take my game up a notch after hovering around the mid 90's for some time. My iron play is pretty consistent with the cavity backs so I thought I'd give the muscle backs a shot to see if I could hit them. Was I in for a surprise. Not only could I hit them, I was able to start putting a slight draw on the ball, hit it straight when I wanted to, or put a fade on it. Outstanding clubs, very accurate and feel is great, I can even hit the 3-iron with some confidence now. Played 5 rounds with them sofar and shot 87,89,89,90,90. Hope to be taking it even lower after a few more rounds. Mizuno makes an outstanding quality product. Highly recommended clubs. Oh yea, they look real good too.
