3 and 4 irons are very long, but unless you're a 5 handicap or under these are probably not for you. Distance throughout the set is well above average. These certainly have a right to left bias for right handed players.

I love my Mizuno mp 30 irons. I bought them with the rifle 5.5 shafts. They feel and look so good. Amazing enough, my miss hits still feel solid and are on the green. I recommend these clubs to the mid and lower handicapper and they are easier to hit then they appear.

Just getting back into golf wasn't sure what I wanted. Spent many days hitting every iron I could get my hands on. I quit playing 8 years ago with a 9 handicap. I was hitting DCI Black Diamonds. Old school Black Diamonds yee haw. I used to hit these irons really well but I wanted something that had a better feel this time around. I tried the Cleveland’s and all I can say is YUK they where terrible and even though they are supposed to have anti vibration technology it didn’t work. Next I tried Mac Gregors, these where not that bad at all especially for the price. Can’t beat 299.99, they where on sale. Decided I might need to try Titleist again. Just didn't like the feel to them at all at address. I needed something that would help improve my game have great feedback and let me work the ball, something the DCI's never did, it was a straight shot that’s about it. They where to forgiving for any kind of real workability. I started hitting the Mizuno MP-30 and I was instantly in love. These irons had the nicest touch, feel to them over any other iron I had gone through about 6 to 7 different irons from different manufacturers. Then I saw the price tag OUCH. I didn’t think I wanted to spend that much money just yet. So I tried some other clubs again but kept going back to the MP-30's. I found them for 606.00 and bought them and don’t regret it one bit. My distance is same if not little longer I can work the ball some now and I can almost draw it on will. I think the DCI's where keeping me out of the 70's when I was playing full time and with these clubs I might even work my way back to my same handicap of 9 I had and then progress to getting it lower. Goal is scratch golfer. I feel I have the talent for it but didn’t have the clubs before to get me there, the MP-30's are making a world of difference already even after a HUGE break. I probably wouldn't recommend these if you dont have a decent handicap 16 or lower. Go with something more forgiving. But if you have a lower handicap and are looking to upgrade and don't feel you are quite ready for pure blades this might just be he best club on the market. Do not get me wrong these where plenty forgiving but are nothing compared to what other Mizuno clubs are out there. These are more or less advanced golfer clubs. Not for the twice a year golfer. Mizuno quality so far has been outstanding. If your looking for a more forgiving club I would still recommend Mizuno they seem to be on top of there game. So far they have been worth every penny.

Wow. These irons have the most unbelievable feel to them. When you hit it in the center, it has the best buttery feeling. Even when it is not hit perfectly, the shot still isnt bad. The irons have a great look to them, hit nicely, allow easy ball shaping and are fairly light. Hit a couple shots with a four iron, and youll be convinced these are the best out there.

Just to clarify my earlier review. I played a few rounds since my last review and shot in the 80's, I am getting quite a bit more distance, (the driving range balls are very miss leading). On a couple 215-220 yard par 3's I overhit the cup by about 15 yards with my 3 iron. The trajectory and accuracy is amazing with these clubs. I'm finally getting used to my 5 iron clearing 200yards.

These clubs are fantastic! Nothing feels like these clubs when you hit them right. I feel so confident over the clubs, I love the way the clubs look at address, and I feel like the semi-muscle back design is heavy enough that I can feel the head of the club all the way through the swing. These blow away my old TaylorMade 320's. I didn't know where I hit the ball on those irons, but with the Mizunos you know exactly where you've hit the ball - close to the hosel, out toward the toe or right in the buttery, soft center. I tried the new Ping S59s (hated them - easy to hit, but they looked terrible at address), the Titleist 704 CBs (great clubs, but I liked the Mizunos better), and the Ben Hogan FTXs (liked these, too, very similar to the Mizunos). in the end, i chose the Mizunos because of the feel, (soft, buttery) the classic look at address (which gave me tons of confidence), and the feeling that i always knew where the clubhead was when i swung and at impact. they are AWESOME clubs. my GIR went up by at least 40%.

I took my new set of MP-30's to the range, I was used to my old solid feeling Daiwa Trypower cavity backs. With my natural swing, my first few hits with my 3 iron had a left to right fade of about 15 yards. The feel was absolutely AMAZING, it felt like hitting a solf ball of butter with an intense crack. After a few minor stance adjustments, I was hitting the ball straight down the middle landing at the 200 yard marker. I then focussed on playing the ball right to left aiming 10 yards right of the 200 yard marker and I actually did it on the first try and then fairly consistantly after. After all these years I was missing out on this playability that my old clubs lacked. I lost some yardage with the MP-30's close to 10 yards distance with my 3 Iron but with this new found control I'm sure I'll lower my handicap. At first I was testing out game improvement clubs, such as Steelheads, Ping G2, MX-23, and other recommended irons and I was not impressed one bit. I was hitting the ball further but other than that I was getting the feeling that my game would not improve. Thanks Mizuno, this adds a whole new level of confidence and gameplay.

Great irons, can be worked either way, and are darts from 150 yards in. Are quite forgiving for a forged iron. Have DG S300 shafts, these complement the club well. Great fell and that classic "Mizuno Click" when struck well. Most likely best forged iron on the market. Tried the Cleveland and thought they were terrible... limited feel and too much offset... Recommend them highly!!!!!!!

I "upgraded" to the MP30 earlier this season from the Comp-EZ's which I loved. The transition was seamless, with pretty much the same playability (these are not hard clubs to swing), and even better feel. I recommend these to anyone serious about improving their game.

I have trying to decide what to get this year, not so much because my Mizuno comp-EZ were bad, but because I wanted to try to get a more difficult club to play. Yes, I was was thinking (perhaps erroneously) that if I got blades, it would "force" me to become a better ball striker. I was looking at them all when someone recommended the MP-30's because they were a bit more forgiving but had all the same elements that I was looking for. Others told me that I was nuts and would not be able to hit them. Well I can hit them pretty darn well. If you mis-hit these, they stay on line but you lose a bit of distance. With the Stiff stell S-300 they feel heavy and you need pretty good clubhead speed to take advantage of thewm but boy they are sweet when you hit them and even I can "move" the ball with these. I highly recommend for those that are serious about their game, have high swing speeds. Do not fear being able to hit them. They are easier than you think.
