My beloved MP33s oh how do I hate them… That’s the thing with these clubs you love to hate them. Let me elaborate… when I first purchased these clubs I was shooting a consistent 86ish with my old Titleist 981 (great clubs I might add) but wanting to improve my game I thought that I would go with a blade type iron. WOW, was that ever a turning point in my golf journey. My shots with MP33 were like night and day (kind of like an all or nothing.) Some going left, right, low, and everything you can imagine. For a couple of months I felt like a bear playing out of the trees or like someone from baywatch playing from the sand. I felt like an idiot switching from titleist to mizuno, But then AFTER A LOT OF HARD WORK it all came together. I guarantee you that you will become a better golfer because of these clubs (that or you’ll quit the game). You will be able to get out of trouble like no other, because these clubs will put you into all sorts of lies, places of the golf course that you never ever knew existed. The sweet just isn’t as sweet without the bitter… Now my shots are a lot more consistent, and if I hit a bad shot I know it instantly and why it happened. And no one can argue that these clubs aren’t so DAMN beautiful =) Oh yeah back to my review… ask anyone and they’ll say that their golf clubs are the best, but they will always say that MP33s are at least second best. You’ll also see people say that they are afraid of them “to hard to hit,” but after they hit one buttery shot look at the smile on their face (that says it all =).

Buttery feel is oh-so-true. But distance...read on. I wanted to take my game up a notch - I played 845s for 8 years and had a previous bad experience with a set of Crenshaw-Hagen blades before that-but I was reluctant. However, the switch to the MP-33 has been awesome. It has definitely forced me to improve my fundamentals but blades make it easier because you can see the angles in your swing better. I shot my first 69 with these sticks in 6 months. Yeah, the putter was hot but so? Feedback is instantaneous and unmistakeable but absolutely the most surprising thing to me has been the INCREASE in distance in the long irons. I am sure this is largely caused by the fact that I hit the sweet spot more often with these clubs. Face it, with a clubhead this small, if you hit the ball anywhere near the center, you've hit the sweet spot. Trouble shots - low,high,left,right - are much easier and consistent now, too, versus cavity back. There's no reason to play a 'helper' club. You want to get better, right? Then buy the best club. Simple.

i traded my old ttlst 990dci with these sticks from a semi pro. i paid extra 150. i played game once with these clubs so dunno exactly what to say yet. maybe a bit less distance and slightly higer ball flight than 990dci. my swing makes unintentional slight fade as well which never happened with 990dci. but what can i say. these sticks feel much softer than 990dci when hit the sweetspot. and most of all, these sticks look just great in my bag. ONE TIP from A LESSON PRO: when hit mp33 (or any other muscle-backs) try to keep yer right hip(pelvic region) lower and hold it tight! man.. believe me. it works.

I bought these clubs a year and a half ago. In my initial review I praised these clubs while stressing that they weren't for the low handicapper only. A year and a half and 3000 swing changes later I can tell you I still love these irons even though they look like they've been through several battles. I wish I could say that the orignal reason for getting these clubs was to work the ball better. The truth is I don't have a clue as to how to work a ball. My only reason for the purchase was that I wanted to learn to strike the ball properly and I didn't want a club that would mask a bad strike. Well, I got what I wished for. There is no mis-interpretation when the ball is struck improperly. You can tell either by the vibration up your arm and into your soul or simply by the fact that the ball is 20-30 yards short of its destination. I've got to admit that when I tried the new Cleveland TA2's the other day I definitely felt some lust in my heart. Everything was sweet and long regardlesss of where I hit the face. The truth is, if I was a pro or playing for money all the time I would play the most forgiving club out there. Since I'm a hacker who just wants to get better the mp 33's have accomplished what I had hoped for, a better more consistant swing and a much more pure ball striking ability..........By the way, I'm no purist, my driver is the most forgiving monster you can buy! A guy's got to have a little ego left after a round!

I had a set of Pro II's for the last 2 years and have loved them. I decided over the winter that I wanted to get more of a blade style club. I tried them all over the winter (indoors, off mats due to being in the N.E.)and the MP 33's were the best looking and best feeling blade I tried. The feel was very soft. I am 6'2" and am a scratch golfer that hits it pretty high. Since I was inside, I couldn't really tell the trajectory and mats are very generous on less than perfect swings. Anyhow, I loved the look and the feel so I bought a new set on eBay. When spring finally arrived here, I spent about a month trying to adapt to these clubs. It just never happened. First of all, I hit them very high (higher than the Pro II's) and consequently lost a bunch of distance. I hit my Pro II 7 iron about 160'ish and I was having problems getting the MP 33's to travel 150 yards. They still felt great when I hit them good and the look is awesome...I just could not get these clubs to fit my game. I went back to the Pro II's and started hitting it much better. I then tried the Ping I3's and have since bought a set. I know they are diabolically different clubs but I think these I3's are about the best clubs I have ever hit. My trajectory is much lower and obviously the clubs are much more forgiving. You lose a bit of the buttery soft feel with a pure strike but that is more than made up for when you hit the 3 iron a bit off the toe and it still goes good. I think the MP 33's are a nice club for a low ball hitter who can pure it regularly.

I just ordered a set of 33s and can't wait to get them. These are beautiful clubs and the price was right. I'm a pretty decent iron player that typically shoots in the upper 70s, low 80s. For the last 20 yrs. I've played '74 Wilson Staff so I'm comfortable with irons that have little to no forgiveness. Initially I thought that I wanted clubs with a bit of forgiveness. However after reading some of the reviews here I agree that these are truly game improvement clubs in that you need to develop a consistent swing and really need to focus when playing them. Most golf shops were pushing the MP-30s or TM RAC LTs, but neither felt as good as the 33s - though the 30s were a very close 2nd. Admittedly, with the long irons (3 & 4) I'm not as consistent with the 33s as I am with the 30s or RACs, but with the mid & short irons I could hit the 33s just as consistently and a bit farther than the 30s or RACs. Let's face it, a mis-hit is a mis-hit no matter which set of irons you use. When I hit a 4 iron a bit thin or a bit off the toe I saw practically the same results with both the 30s and 33s. I hit over 250 balls with each the 30s & 33s (4, 6 & 8 irons). Both sets seem to have the perfect balance and weight for my swing. The deciding factor for me was if my swing is consistent enough (or can be) for these clubs. Since I'm a fair weather golfer that usually only has time to play 9 holes I not worried about my swing getting tired. Also, most of the courses I play don't require too many iron (3 & 4) shorts and I can get to the range once in awhile. Given these parameters, I feel that the 33s are a better choice for me. If I played in all types of weather, or in pressure situations (tournaments) or was faced with more long iron shots, I would have gone with the 30s. If you are in a similar situation as I am, I would definitely recommend giving the 33s a try. I've played golf since I was 8 and going from '74 Staff to these clubs won't be a difficult transition for me. If you've been playing an oversized or cavity-back club for some time, it may be a different story. One last thing, I'd recommend hitting any club off of real turf before buying, especially with these clubs. Those practice mats seem have a bit of forgiveness that real turf doesn't have.

Let me set this straight for all you Titleist 690MB blade players, Mizuno forged blades are the best sticks ever made. Last nite I tried my buddy's MP-33s. These I have to say are spectacular sticks once again. You don't have to be singles but you should definitely shoot in the 80s to play these sticks. Made for the good ball striker as mis-hits don't go far (not forgiving). It gives you instanteous feedback and makes you focus on the swing rather than hitting the ball. (A good swing = good strike) And talk about buttery soft, all Mizuno forged irons have this distinct feel that only Mizuno has. I mean I love Titleist (vokeys, 975JVS, 983e) but Miuzno makes the most kick-a$$ irons ever. Distance and trajectory is awesome as well. For you that don't know, the MP-33 is the hybrid of the MP-14/MP-29. The only problem I have is that Mizuno discontinued the MP-14, the greatest club ever made. MP-33 place 2nd to the MP-14.

The 33's are the best irons on the market they feel great,look great, and they make you want to play better. I'm a pro in PA and I have had the chance to be on the Titleist staff and Callaway staff but I would not have played my best with their clubs. My opinion....at least give these puppies a try.

Nice,Quick,and reliable what else could you want.

I used to be skeptical about people saying how "sweet" or "buttery" mp-33's feel. Now I'm a true believer after playing with them for more than a year. You just can't beat the feel of these sticks. Also, they are as accurate as any club can be. No need to mention the look.
