I purchased these irons and put in the True Temper Gold SL shafts. They are a pleasure to play. Prior to them, I was playing two different models of the Titleist DCIs and was fairly pleased with them. The big advantage to these irons is that they are a softer alloy and they can be bent more readily to your specific lie angle than a standard stainless steel iron. I needed to bend them 3* upright and it was not a problem. They are an attractive iron and they are easy to line up to the target. I prefer a neutral biased club, and that is what they are. They reward good swings. I am pleased that Mizuno has provided an excellent "players" club for left-handed golfers. The market is quite limited. I have never hit a better iron.

I've been playing for 30 years and my search for irons is finally over. The Mizuno MP-30 irons are the best I've ever played. In short, great looking, great feeling and great performing irons.

I'm not a long knocker -- never have been -- but these inspire confidence and allow me to maximize my ability. I'm an inconsistent ball striker and have always had trouble hitting irons. Yes, I s---k a few every once in awhile, that's a given, but the Mizunos force you to correct your mistakes because of the feedback. Unlike cast clubs, forgings tell you where you hit the ball and you can correct accordingly.

These are other fine forgings out there, including the Hogan Apex blades and some of the Titleist, but none compare favorably to Mizuno forgings and especially the MP-30's which provide the best of both worlds -- blades and cavity back. The design is beautiful and simple and the quality outstanding. Forgings tend to wear quicker than cast clubs and get nicked up but, taken care of, they will last a long time and give you many years of good golf.

I can't say enough about the MP-30's. They're in a class by themselves. I have a Tour Van set with Flighted Rifle 6.0 shafts and find they perform better than the stock S-300 Dynamic Golds. But either is an excellent choice, just depends on your preference for feel and workability.

I heartily recommend these irons to golfers of all skill levels, not just low handicappers.

Excellent. Replaced a head cover free for my MP-001 460 driver. Mizuno woods are first-rate and highly underrated. Try them!

I have played my Mp-30's off and on for the past three years and always end up coming back to them. In a word they are "pure".....

I had a pro last year tell me that I should look at game improvement irons. I play to a 6 index and since I was trying to move it to a 2 or 3 I listened to him....big mistake...as long as you can put the club on the ball nicely 70% of the time try these clubs you won't regret it...I have heard great things about the new and improved MP-60's and am chomping at the bit to buy them and see if they actually can be any better than the 30's.....

Sorry for the length but I love these clubs. I have tried close to a dozen different sets of irons over the last few years and found a winner in the MP 30. Although some would say I am not good enough to play these clubs (16 handicap - mostly because of putting and the occasional brain cramp off the tee that turns into big numbers). I have found them to have the best feel of anything I have tried and arguably the cleanest look at address. Shots can easily be manipulated high or low by adjusting ball position and I have even found I can move the ball left to right on occasion (still working on right to left). When struck well, the spin is amazing. I can not only stop the ball on the green I have even had 6 and 7 iron shots on Par 3s that backed up a little (something I had only ever done before with a wedge). During my last round from 155 yards out in the fairway I stuck a 7-iron to 4 feet for a birdie and the ball mark was even close to the hole. Even the long irons work for me if I pay attention, I can hit a consistent fade. I previously played Nike PRO Combos and loved the short irons but still couldn't hit the long irons with any consistancy, so I tried a set of TM RAC HTs, which I could hit well but just couldn't get used to the look at address. The latest technology is great and I know plenty of golfers who play well with game improvement irons, but to me some of them look more like a garden tool than a golf club. I found a cheap set of well used MP30's with r300 shafts on ebay that still had a little life left and used them as a test drive. I then saw a brand new set at a local shop on sale for $499 (most are discounting to make room for the new MP60s)and quickly traded in the old set. I have seen this same price at some of the big name chains as well. I now believe I have bought my last set of irons. If you have been waiting to get a top-of-the-line set of players clubs now is your chance before the pro shops sell off their old stock. After that the MP30 is a custom order only as part of Mizuno's Signature line - or you could just pay $1000 for the MP60s which I am sure are a wonderful club.

If you are on the verge of breaking 80 then these clubs are the best out there for you. They are VERY close to a forged blade in playability but offer a bit more forgiveness. They are ideal for the scratch player as well. There isn't a shot trajectory that these cannot meet and off-center hits are still satisfactory distance-wise while letting you know where on the face you made contact.
A slightly heavier clubhead makes you feel the swing and that's a valuable tool to have on the course. For someone who is on the verge or already there, this is the ultimate club. I have or have owned them all and I cannot see ever using another club again. The best I've ever used.

Every iron made, and that's no joke.

I wrote a review of these when I first got them. I've now played them for a couple of seasons and thought I'd update. My handicap is down from approximately 17 to a 10.7 (local league course 9.1) I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Too bad with all the marketing by other companies many people won't try these. They make you better. They are not hard to hit and are plenty forgiving. They are just plain better than most of what is out there. You do not need to be a low handicap to play these. Very easy to work the ball, consistent ball flight and distance, and very accurate. Excellent feedback and mis hits don't penalize you any more than a cavity back does. And they feel soooo goooood. In my opinion it's meaningless to talk distance when speaking of modern irons. Drivers, fairway woods/rescue clubs sure, but not irons. Irons are about accuracy, consistent distance, workability, and feedback. In my experience Mizuno has no peers.

Cleveland TA5, Taylor Made RAC, Nike, Titleist CB and MB, Cobra, and others during the shopping comparison. My swing was not great the day I tried all the irons, but even then the Mizuno MP 30 were simply in a league of their own. The MP 37 were great too, but less forgiving than the MP 30. I've heard good things about the Ping G2 but did not try them. As they are cavity back and cast I know they will not feel as good, work the ball as easily, and will not have the same level of feedback...by design.

Top Quality Irons. They are relatively forgiving as forgings go, but do not expect to nail it consistently with these irons without putting in the hours..... Personally, I have found the short irons a little inconsistent on distance and clean striking. But that is just me. I can only get out 2/3 times a month now. If you think your game has exceeded the "game improvement club stage" and you are prepared to practice (and be patient) these clubs will reward your efforts

I think I posted a quick review on these clubs about a month after I bought them. Well I have had them for over a year now and can confidently say that they are excellent irons and have really improved my iron play. The only thing I have to do is swing easy and let the club do the work. They do not like it when you force a shot and you lose distance and accuracy. My handicap has dropped three shots to 9 since getting these clubs and the most important thing for me was the increase reliability and consistency. If you are thinking of getting these clubs to help your game, I would recommend them. Not sure if distance is any better as I was using blades before hand and I felt that my distance got a little less but more accurate.

Was in speculative mood in my local golf shop and had a swing with the MP30s. Found them very responsive and easy to hit and was also very impressed by their looks. I intially thought they were out of my price range but I got a cracking deal-3 to PW for £199-bargain. Have been on the range and have found these irons very easy to hit. They don't feel as unweildy as many other 'game imoprovement' irons and are easy to shape and control. I've found the 'game improvers' far too clumsy and they mask too many swing faults. You know you must be swinging weel with these as when you really nail one of these irons they have a penetrating flight and get plenty of air despite bearly being offset. In all the research I did before buying these irons the consensus was you had to be a single handicapper to use these. I am a mid handicapper (with aspirations of a lower handicap) and have found these easy than Callaway Big Berthas, Taylormade RAC, Macgregor V-foil, new Cobras and Wilsons and a host of others. These are a classy set and I'd recommend them to all but the complete biginner.

Bought a used, but good condition set of Ebay for $400. Solid set of clubs. Forgiving , yet will give you enough feedback on off center hits. Still adjusting to them, and probably will have to upgrade to a stiffer shaft, but very pleased with the quality.
