The shaft is Rifle 6.0. I tend to agree with the belief that Rifle shafts make shot dispersion tighter. I also have a set of Cleveland TA-3 irons. MP-33 is about half club shorter than TA-3 for me. and MP-33 is more consistant, I don't quite understand why. I think that with a decent club release coming down toward impact, any player can benefit from mp-33 iron. Blade irons' reputed unforgiveness is very much over exaggerated.

Cleveland TA-3

Simply put, the best looking iron on the market. Little offset, awesome finish. Got them fited 3/4 of an inch long, 2 degrees up. Played cavity backs my entire golf career, and now realize that cavities have no feel in them at all. Can turn the ball over either way with minimal effort, can play high or punches, and the distances are exact as long as you have a repetitive swing. I thought my swing was a little loose for blades, but not so. As long as you can strike the ball crisply, there's no problem even hitting the 2 iron. Just bought them and have only hit 3 buckets, but can already tell these will improve the consistancy of my game. Put a good swing on, and these clubs reward. Handi is at a 8.5 swinging the shovels, so I expect it to drop with these. I encourage anyone with a descent swing to pick up a set. Don't be discouraged by the small size of the club face, or the nagging rumors that only real players can swing these clubs. I find them easier to hit than the cavities, and a good swing with these clubs is much more rewarding.

Who can refute the fact that these must be the best looking set of irons on the market? (besides all the imitators like titliest and nike who have blades with almost identical shapes and finish) I've been playing cavity backs all my golf life...ping eye 2's. these have a smaller head than other cavity-backs. the thought of hitting blades have always remained as a dream directly related to my self-accessment of my ability. but the truth is that these blades are not difficult to hit. if you can get solid strikes with cavity-backs, you can too with these mp-33s. it's all about ball-striking. as for the small head...i believe that since its that small, all you got to do is hit the ball and you can't be much far off from the sweet spot. the spin is always welcome, being able to spin the ball back off the green in front of your buddies is just as good as landing it an inch from the cup. off the fairway, most irons can perform. but its when you're in trouble that these mizunos really shine. punch it, slice it around the tree, cut it high over obstructions. you name it, these irons can handle it. the sharp leading edge means that extricating a ball from the rough is that much easier. feel from these forged clubs is superb! especially so when chipping around the green with 8,7,6 irons. you can always trust the speed from these irons. as good as putting it. while i'm not saying that everyone can use these forgings, i am recommending anyone who has a certain degree of consistency and solid ball-striking to really consider. cavities give sense of security, but the mp-33s give you the confidence that whatever shot you want to pull off, it will never be the club holding you back. your arsenal of shots and shot-making ability is thrown open to the horizon. must trys!

I picked these up after reading the reviews, and I am having mixed feelings. I hit the wedges better than anything I have hit before, and I can knock down the pin from about 120 in. However, they are not really that forgiving. If you are slightly off the toe or heel, the trajectory is much lower, and you lose about 15% distance. When you hit a sweet shot, the ballooning trajectory and distance are awesome, but you need to be a consistent ball striker to use these. Strangely, I found the 3 and 4 iron pretty easy to hit. I just wish I could hit the 7 like I hit my wedge.

These irons are the best looking golfclubs around. Also, the feedback you get from a shot is superb. Equipped with self-analyzing capability you'll be able to correct those sneaky little errrors in your swing. Too bad the irons are so soft, you need head covers to prevent serious scratches, dents etc. Don't forget to clean them after every shot, especially moisture, I had tiny little signs of rust after just the first day! The loss of distance was about half a clublenght (especially when the wind is against), caused by the higher loft (higher shots) and NO roll; where the ball lands it will stay, which is great for positional play. Concluding: super responsive irons with great high trajectory and lots of (back)pin.

I hit the low 80's regularly, I'd gone from Cobra's to Calloways, my handicap was rising steadily. I read the rviews here, bought these clubs, my handicap is heading downwards again. Nuff Said

The best club I've ever played. And for a blade, they're very forgiving. The feel and feedback on purely struck shots is awesome. You don't need to be a single digit handicap to get good results.

Quick info- I started golfing 4 years ago and play regularly. I consistently shoot in the low 80’s. When I started I bought a set of TaylorMade LCG irons (S-90 graphite) so this is the extent of my club experience. For starters these clubs are not any easier or more difficult to hit than the LCG irons. When hit in the sweet spot they both feel nice… actually very, very nice with the Mizunos. Both feel bad when hit thin or off the toe. When I mis-hit the ball with the LCG’s it simply feels bad but it’s not always clear what I did wrong. With the Mizunos mis-hits are obvious and it is clear what I did wrong. But when I strike the ball well the reward is sensational with incredible feel and trajectory. The MP-33 lofts are weaker (more angle) than the LCG’s by almost a full club. Oddly enough my distances have not decreased by a full club length as I expected and remained relatively the same. I seem to be hitting fewer shots “fat” then before. Perhaps my swing is better suited to a club with less offset in it. My mental approach towards the game has also improved with my MP-33’s. I used to play golf with a “shotgun” mentality. I would try to hit the ball harder than I needed to and my irons would spray all over the course. Now I approach the game with a “sniper” mentality. Now I know the penalty for mis-hits and I know (and are addicted to) the rewards for getting a clean hit on the ball. I’ve found it easier to swing a little smoother and I’m better off hitting the ball cleanly with 85% power than I am mis-hitting at full power. The thin clubface of the MP-33’s looks and feels like a precision instrument and I find it easier to focus on making precise contact with the ball. Ultimately your selection of clubs is a personal decision. Nobody can tell you what will feel the best to you. Don’t rule these clubs out because of false myths about the experience level you need to hit these clubs. I’m not a great golfer but enjoy playing the game. I plan on playing for many years and these are clubs that will help me improve and clubs that I won’t outgrow. There are no shortcuts or panacea to becoming a better player. If you want to lose 3-4 strokes today buy clubs with a giant oversized clubhead, you can’t miss the ball. But if you are serious about truly improving your game for the long haul, get a set of these and practice.
