I have played several types of irons and have been a "die hard" Titleist fan. The first time I went through the ball and felt the difference between a cavity backed forged (DCI tour) to a true muscle back forged blade, I was hooked. The first round I played with these irons, I shot 69 and haven't looked back since. I don't know that I could actually ever play a different iron.

I got these irons when i decided i wanted to use blades. I use to play mp-30's which i loved, but these are probably the best irons i have used. Easy to work the ball with these and they look so nice. Customer Service golf galaxy Similar Products Used: mp-30, titleist 690mb, titleist 704cb |

I have played the mp33 irons for about a 1 1/2 years and they have improved my golf game so much that I have shot 3 under and 1 under twice this year! The irons are the perfect weight and feel balance in my hands. They feel so soft that you can not play any other clubs.

I have been a Mizuno guy for the last 5 years, prior to that a Ping Eye 2 player for 20 years. I learned on Wilson Staff blades and always liked the feel of forged so I played MX23's then the MP30's. I decided that in order to really improve I needed to improve my swing and so I rebuilt my swing. I bought a used set of MP33's for practicing my swing changes. I use MP 57's for my gamers. The MP33 does amplify the "what's wrong" with your swing and does so with immediate feedback and results. Likewise, it also amplify's the "what's right" with your swing in the same manner. More "what's right"s and you get a pretty picture of where you are as a golfer. In comparison to the MP 57's, the 57's are much more forgiving on bad shots, while the 33's are much more rewarding on good shots. Ball flights a little higher on the 33's (due to weaker lofts 1 degree I guess.) but penetrating ball flight seems better when they are hit flush. I love Mizuno irons, so this is really not a fair comparison, but to be fair I did own MP32's and the they were not as sweet as the 33's even though they were the Marquee clubs of the manufacturer. The 33's are wonderful looking irons. A small head (than the 32) and thin topline. I love the MP57's because the 33's have made them so easy to hit. As a practice club without a coach you can invest in a set for a couple of hundred dollars and know exactly where your swing is at. I guess I'm a devotee of the swing (the archer) as opposed to the club (the arrow) being the cause, in the "cause and effect" scenario. You could spend hundreds more on game improvement clubs but not be nearly as satisfied with a club as you would be with the MP33's. Customer Service Huh? Similar Products Used: Tried most blades at one time or another including Wilson, Titleist, Ping, Cobra. If you just went for looks alone, the 33's win. |

All I can do is continue to sing the praises of each previous reviewer. These are, by far, the nicest looking and performing irons EVER! If you like a thin topline, nice weighting, clean lines and smooth, buttery feel than brother, say hello to your new best friends, the MP 33's. I also have a set of MP 32's but prefer the 33's simply for the slightly better weighting, 33's weigh a tad more and if you've swung them long enough you will notice. Agree that swing speed is key, slow it down but like any other Mizuno blade if you've played them before this is no different. |

Well, what can I say. All people who I know knows about golf warned me, but I couldn't resist. I bought a used set of MP-33's with SG300 mounted. I must have a fair swing, since I haven't been let down by these clubs. Yes, I've lost some distance, but with the feeling you get instead, both with control and just the feeling. Wow, it's getting more difficult to get home to the wife. After the switch, yes I had to adapt. In fact, most important was to set down my swing speed. I'm surely on my way to the low 80's in this year. Damn ... why did I wait :-) Customer Service Bought used from a private individual. Similar Products Used: Top Flite Tour, my last set. |

These are great irons. I used to play a muscle cavity back iron and i liked the look of them. So when I went to get new irons I wanted that same look of a very thin face and very little going on in the back. These irons were perfect because they had the same look but it was easier to work the ball. They have a much sharper look than cavity backs and that is why i like them. my father has big bertha irons and I find them distracting to have all of the "stuff" going on with them. That is why i like blades or muscle back irons. That being said these were the perfect irons and would be for you too! |

I determined that I need to replace my MP 33 irons, they're worn out from use. I called Mizuno, spoke to Joe and asked what club Mizuno now offers that is a true blade, he said Mizuno doesn't have a true blade unless I get the custom fitted MP 37 Irons. He mentioned that there are MP 100's out there that are the MP 33's with a different number. I shopped around on the web and just bought a pair of NEW MP 100's on Amazon for $750 with free shipping, guess I got a good deal from what I am reading here. I will play with nothing else than the MP 33's until Mizuno comes up with a new model that improves on the MP 33... I will play with my MP 100's, then send my MP 33's off to be rechromed. My previous set of irons were the MP 9's, they are as good as the MP 33's in my opinion but they are from 1991... |

I've been told the MP100 aniversary edition irons are basically MP33's, so here's yet another review for these fantastic irons. While I think the MP32's are grossly overated(basically a low center of gravity cavity back with a mushy feel), and the MP67's are vastly better than the MP32's(more solid, workable, better trajectory). Neither of those two come close to the performance and feel of the MP33(MP100). The MP33 is much heavier overall than both the MP32 and MP67--which I like. The heavy weight might be the reason some complain of lack of distance, however I find the club to be pretty darn long when hit on the sweetspot. Yes, the sweetspot is small, but the club is exceptionally well balanced so if your swing is sound you can hit on the sweetspot with a fair amount of consistancy. The MP33 is a true blade with a LOT of metal behind the sweetspot, and thus feels infinitely more solid than the MP32. You can play this club if you practice and have decent swing fundamentals. You can get the MP100 for around $850 dollars, so why bother with Mizuno's vastly inferior irons--a no brainer IMO. Customer Service Not used Similar Products Used: Titleist 695MB/CB
