Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: Mizuno MP-32

I switched from Pro X-18s to these last year and have no regrets. While the 18s hit the ball farther, the MP-32s are soft on pure shots, place the ball nicely on the green with scoring irons, and are extremely easy to line up when you want to direct the ball. These are great out of the thick stuff too if you position the ball properly in your stance and hit the ball first. The ball will spin onto the green nicely.

The only reason why I'm still shooting in the 80s is because I haven't found a 460cc driver to hit as well as I hit these irons.

I just want to give a friendly warning for any golfer with a handicap over about 12. This club is VERY hard to hit.

These clubs are extremely hard to hit unless you have a mirror image swing every time and unfortunately most of us dont.

Granted, when you do hit the sweet spot it is the smoothest club i have ever hit and if i could do that every time (if i were a scratch golfer) then i would have kept these clubs for years.

But the problem is that these clubs ARE NOT forgiving in the least. If you are even a portion of an inch off the sweet spot you will lose 10 + yards on your long irons and 5 or so on your short ones. As a low 80's golfer i feel i have a good swing. Its no where near perfect though and these clubs made me very aware of that fact. That is not saying i am not a decent golfer. It is saying that i am just not good enough to hit these clubs.

That all being said i cant give these clubs a terrible review even though i didnt like them because it would be like me buying a guitar and saying it was no good because i didnt know how to play it.

Again, i just wanted to give a heads up to players in the 80's to avoid these clubs and you will avoid much frustration

Model Reviewed: Mizuno MP-32 (Left Handed)

I have now had this set for about 6 weeks; played 10+ rounds with them. I am left-handed, and the amount of "player's" clubs out there in LH are very, very limited. As a business person, I understand why; as an avid golfer, it makes no sense to me....but I digress.
I am a very high ball hitter and purchased these with the hopes of keeping a lower trajectory for more control. I play in Texas where the wind blows. I have had to "tinker" with this set, but have achieved my desires.
This set is +1/2 inch and 1 degree up-right. They have Rifle Project X (6.0), and I have de-lofted the irons 2 degrees from standard.
I am a big believer in Mizuno's technology. You can really tell the difference quality wise in these irons. "Grain-Flow" is very interesting to read about, but even better to personally experience. I used to have the old Hogan Apex Edge irons, and then went to Callaway Fusion because I was told it would improve my game. I was never happy with the Fusion, mainly because of lack of feel. I am a feel player and enjoy getting on the range with these MP-32's to truly hone my ball-striking.
I would highly recommend this set and not just for the "good" players. While they are a player's club (according to the experts), I would not dissuade anyone from purchasing them.
Plus, I dare anyone out there to pick up an MP-32 at a golf store and not look down at address without being amazed at how beautiful they look. I am a big believer in the shape & look of a club at address. The more confident the look of the club gives you, the more confident that player will swing that club.

I have had these clubs for a week now and have spent most of my free time on the range. I have found these irons to feel very soft and really easy to hit. The ball flight is high but can be kept low if need be. I purhcased them off Ebay new for $600.00 and had them bent 2* up. The Dynamic Gold S300 shaft does not feel as stiff in these irons as it did in other irons that I have played. The standard spec on all of the clubs were rith on except for the 9 iron and it set at 45.5 degrees of loft instead of 47. I had this adjusted at the time I had the lie angle bent. At address you get a nice thin top line and a blade look but the channel in the back gives some forgiveness on mis-hits. It is the best of both technologies.

Hi, the last few reviews on this club have compelled me to write. I have always played with blades and currently play off 4, but once upon a time held a +handicap and played at a fairly serious level. My main strength has always been quality of strike and ironplay, because of this i feel that i can comment upon the 32s and what has been said in the previous few posts.
Firstly, the 32 is not a blade, it is not a muscle back, it is a very nice, very cleverly promoted, good looking smooth shallow cavity back and it feels like and plays like one too. The feel is a touch mushy off the face compared to a pure blade, but it is a solid feel compared to your usual cavity back, (also it will feel solid to those who have played blades but haven't quite got the quality of strike to get the most from them). It does not have perfect balance or center of gravity, for this to be perfect the meat of the club must be behind the sweetspot, not possible with a chunk carved from behind it. Shafts do seem to play about a subflex softer with this head, especially so in the long irons, probably due to the lower weighting in them.
The technology is nothing new, just take a look at what Wilson were forging 40 years ago.
What these clubs do so well is bridge the gap between cavity and blade, they offer a touch of both without committing to either. They offer 5% forgiveness over a modern blade, that isnt much (remember thats 5% of distance lost on a miss-hit)but for many aspiring to or fractionally failing with blades, it is enough.
Personally i dont like them, they fly a touch higher than i like and although they are responsive i cannot abide, what to me is an unresponsive feel, but that doesnt mean they aren't a very very good club.
On a side note, i thought the review from Mullputtmatt (forgive me if name is wrong) was very intelligent and observant, and those insulting him for his views are just a shameful disgrace to the game of golf.

Wow, did not realize some people would take my review so personally that they would start to make up stuff about my swing--which they never have seen. Please almighty 70's shooters tell me all about myself stranger--arrogant jerk. I feel sorry for you. Anyhow, I never said the MP-32 was a bad club--I would'nt have bought my brother a set for his birthday if I did. I just gave my opinion of how I felt it performs, and people can agree or disagree, and based on the ratings of my review it looks like people are pretty evenly split in so far as that is concerned. I like the MP-32, but I just don't put it up on a pedestal as being a faultless, perfect club as some appear to view it.

In regard to Mulliparmatt's review...you gotta be kidding me!!! I have used about every bladed iron there is (MP-33, Titleist 680, 695, etc.) and the MP-32's in my opinion are some of the best blades on the market.

As regards MulliparMatt's review of the 32's, you must absolutely be kidding. The precepts probably have a more solid feel to you because they're CB's - I'm sure your shanks and toe balls feel just the same as a solidly hit shot.

"...the trajectory can also be a bit on the high side--which is great for distance and stopping long irons shots on the green, but not so great if you play in windy conditions. A slightly stiffer shaft would help keep the trajectory down somewhat."

So would learning how to control your trajectory. It might be a bit high if you're flipping your hands through impact or scooping the ball. These irons were DESIGNED for trajectory control - for those capable of doing it.

"...but the large cut out design of the mp32 takes out that solid feel."

Absolute nonsense. You probably just aren't used to the shiver in your hands because you can't feel your mis-hits with your CB shovels. If you can manage to hit the ball in the sweet spot, the feel on these irons is as solid as any iron ever made.

"If you are a solid ball striker, I would pass on the mp32 and go with the mp67."

Thanks, Mr. Mid-handicapper. I'll take your advice to heart.

"The main selling point of the mp32 is how forgiving and easily playable it is for a blade design"

Actually, the main selling point of these irons for people with a clue about such things is the precisely located center of gravity, set to a specific location for your short, middle and long irons, which allows for precise trajectory and distance control.

"Still, if you can shoot in the mid eighties and lower, or if you are or strive to be a great ball striker then you'll probably be wanting more from a club than these can provide."

If you can shoot in the mid-80's and below, you can play this club. But unlike the above statement, the genius in these clubs is that they are forgiving, while still maintaining the classic blade feel and playability. If you're a good ballstriker and want to improve, you can grow with these irons. And what you will come to find out is, they will actually teach you what good ballstriking is all about.

When you read a review of Mizuno blades from an 80's shooter, take it with a grain of salt. I'm sorry, but it's just the way it is. To hear a mid-handicapper knock these clubs as not being solid and with too high a trajectory is an absolute laugh.

Model Reviewed: mizuno MP 32 with DG S300

I have previously been playing with a set of Precept Tour Premium irons in S400(almost identical to the current Bridgestone J33CB's), and while the Mizuno MP32 is a great club, the Precepts have a more solid feel, are just as forgiving, and have a better, more piercing trajectory. The MP32's do have what I would call a more ideal smaller clubhead size which makes them feel more precise, and the distance is excellent for a forged club, and can be had with a nice effortless smooth swing. In fact, for some reason the S300 shafts don't really play that stiff in this club, so if you really like to go at it hard(but not X100 hard), you might want to consider a S400 or Royal Precision 6.0 shaft in this club. The trajectory can also be a bit on the high side--which is great for distance and stopping long irons shots on the green, but not so great if you play in windy conditions. A slightly stiffer shaft would help keep the trajectory down somewhat. I can understand some reviewers ambivalence towards this club, because the feel is too soft in my opinion. Mizuno's soft forging is great in the MP33 where there is lots of metal behind the sweetspot to create a solid feel, but the large cut out design of the MP32 takes out that solid feel. If you are a solid ball striker, I would pass on the MP32 and go with the MP67. The main selling point of the MP32 is how forgiving and easily playable it is for a blade design--even a bogey player can hit these well, while still feeling very precise. Still, if you can shoot in the mid eighties and lower, or if you are or strive to be a great ball striker then you'll probably be wanting more from a club than these can provide.
