I have been playing the Titleist dci 962b irons for the past year. I had gotten my handicap down to around 7. They are good irons, but lack the feel of a forged club. I decided to get some forged blades. I demo'd several brands at the local range including Titleist 695mb, Nike forged blades, and Cleveland CG1 black pearls. Of all of those, the CG1s were the best feeling. Very soft. But, they just didn't seem worth the price. So, I decided to spend some time searching on the net for "the best forged blade" on the market. I read tons of reviews and opinions. By far, the most mentioned blade was the Mizuno MP-33. Even those this model has been out for 7 years, people still say it's the best. So, without hitting one, I gambled and bought a used set in good condition on ebay. The sweet spots are pretty worn on the short irons so I could tell they were used by a good player. I went to the course after I got them without even hitting them on the range. My first shot with them was my send shot on a 475 yd par 5. I bombed my drive (Callaway x460 Tour driver) it's awesome! I hit a 6 iron from about 170. It was simply the best feeling shot I've ever hit. The ball I was using was a Callaway Big Bertha red ball, which is a pretty hard ball. I hit a towering perfectly straight shot right to the center of the green. The ball hit and only released about a foot from the ball mark. The whole round I hit some really good shots and I have to say these irons are nothing short of an orgasm when hit correctly. Mis hits are quite punishing and they should be. Feedback is unmatched with these irons. After hitting these the CG1's feel like crap! There is no comparison. If you have never hit a forged Mizuno iron with Grain-Flow Forging, you dont' know what golf feels like! I would have to say, this iron would be every bit worth the $500 new on ebay. Once I wear these out completely I will get a new set.

I have played the 33's for five years. They are the best clubs i have ever hit. They are like a good parent, they let you know when you do something wrong, and they reward you when you do it right. When the time came to replace them mizuno had just released the 67's. After reading the spec on paper they seemed like the greatest clubs ever. I ordered them without thinking twice. Having played with them for a couple of weeks I can report that they are not as good as the 33's and anyone replacing their 33's will be sorely dissapointed. What they have created in the 67's is a club with the forgiveness of a blade (zero) and the feel of a cavity back (clicky). Not a good combo. The 33's are actually easier to hit yet feel a lot better. So I suggest you try picking up a set of 33's quickly.

these are the best irons i ever felt i used to only play cavity back until i got my hanicap below 10 so when i did i decided to hit the practice range and fire away at some blades. What i looked for the most was feel off the club face. I tryed titleist 690 mb and they were too hard, and the cleveland black pearls were too soft so i decided to try these from a buddy of mine and they were sweet. I bought them last week and today i hit 16 GIR i think im going to get them re shafted to a stiff the x stiff is a little to much for me.

Bought these clubs off a pro i know and have been used to cavity backs for a good few years now. What a difference they made! after veryu little practice i felt like i could put the ball exactly where i wanted and the feed back is tremendous! the best clubs i have ever used and although they are 3 years old i don't want to change them!

If you are not playing with these irons, you are simply not playing. My clubs were custom fit with Rifle shafts. After playing golf for about 15 years with Ping, TaylorMade and other brands borrowed from friends, there are no clubs better than these. All you have to do is think about the shot and these clubs will do it for you. They look great, feel even better and (best of all) they produce results.

* 43 years old, 5 8’, 155 Lbs, HC4.7 (in 2005). My driver swing speed is around 113 mp. I have been using mp-33 for 3 years. I just changed the set to a newer but same set of mp-33. This club is a MUST TRY club if you have not hit with it. One of the easiest, well balanced club I have ever hit. Super soft hitting feeling and the feedback is amazing. I will gurantee that if you practice with this club you will start to notice what you have been doing (right and wrong). >>>> It is not the hard irons to use. mp-37 is! :-( A whole better price (used ones for sure) than other brand brade clubs. mp-32 is easier but I feel losing a tons of feedback from it.

im not the best golfer yet, but i enjoy playing, i started about 2 years ago, and started off with my friend's mp-33, my friend is a scratch player trying to turn pro, i guess since i always used the blades, i was more comfortable with them more than cavity backs, had a set of mp-30z (also a very nice set of irons) but always wanted myself a blade, so after trying all these other irons, nothing topped mp-33z, so i got my set last week, went to the range once, and hit the field this morning, and i went under 95 for the first time, most of the people would think blades are too hard for somone who shoots in mid 90z but i say everybodys different, if your more comfortable hitting blades go for it, you dont have to get those oversized forgiving irons, whatever your comfortable with, thats what your club should be

I had read such high praise for these irons that I wanted to try them. At a 11 index I just wasn't sure I was good enough. I loved them at first sight. I love the way they set up. I especially like the thin top, these clubs just look good. I took them out to the range and found I just couldn't hit them as well as my cavity backs. Can't understand how someone who shoots in the 90's can hit these. Well I persevered. Slowly over the weeks I began hitting them better and better. It has been about three months and I would say I hit these as well or better than my cavity backs(cleveland TA 7's). At this point I don't find them any more difficult to hit than most cavity backs. I seem to hit these a little further. I read one review that said you need to have a reason to purchase these since they are not more forgiving, I agree. I bought them because I like the way they look and setup. I also bought them since I wanted to feel a off center shot which I definitely do. With my clevelands you often didn't know where on the club you hit the ball other than it didn't go as far. I also feel I can work the ball better. So I think if your looking for your fist blade this is as easy as they get not easier but still pretty forgiving.

Definitely the benchmark blade in my book. There's really no better feeling in golf than a well hit Mizuno blade. Despite conventional wisdom (everyone should be playing cavity backs), I'd recommend that if you are a mid-handicap player with decently consistant ball striking looking to get better, that you seriously consider this club... your scores may go up a bit before they go down (no matter what anyone tells you, blades just aren't forgiving) but you just can't beat the instant feedback that a great blade provides... probably not the club for you if you are content to play a decent round and don't play enough to improve. Since buying these a few years ago, I've had the opportunity to play the Titleist 690s, Hogan 50s and Cleveland CG-1s and for me the Mizunos just feel a lot better. I think that it's foolish to buy any of these clubs without hitting all of them on a range / course where you can see ball flight. I'd also recommend spending enough time to hit not just the 6 or 7 iron but get a feel for the longer and shorter irons too. The differences between all of the blades currently available are pretty subtle all things tolled but if you hit a fair amount of balls, you'll definitely have a favorite. While your local retailer may tell you the 33s have been discontinued, Mizuno is still offering them on a custom basis (same price). Any Mizuno retailer can order them for you.
