I bought these clubs about a year ago and had them in my bag for about 4 months and love them. Definately a typical blade in the scense that if you hit an off-center shot, you know it. I started taking lessons to "Jump to the next level" and shortly into my first four months of having the clubs I quickly realized that I didn't hit the ball consistantly enough and switched over to my ping ISI. Why??? I was playing tournaments during this process and I found that while working on my swing, I needed to cut myself some slack and forgivness. Anyway, I finally jumped to the next level and my handicap went from a 3.5 to 0.0 this month. I finally feel like I can put these club back into the bag and hit them well on a consistant basis. Make no mistake, if you hit the ball less than well on a consistant basis, you might want to think of something else. Don't kid yourself into thinking you are good enough to hit blades, it will be frustrating as hell, I've gone through it. I am not even saying I am good enough for these, however if your a purest, like myself, at any level good or bad, these are the sticks to have. Even if you hit one sweet shot a round, that shot feels like no other. BTW, I live and swear by Rifle Project X shafts, spend the extra coin and get these, they are worth it...

I've been playing golf for 45 years but still hit 300+ yard drives and 150 yard 9 irons. Like lots of 80's hitters, inconsistancy and a weaker than should be short game stand in my way from hitting in the 70's as often as I'd like.

I played 1971 Wilson Staff blades until 2000 when I finally joined the present age and switched to Cleveland Quadpros after a three-month process of elimination. I love those clubs but the technical advances made in the last 5 years have been unreal.

I had the oppportunity to try various Mizuno irons: 32's, 60's and most recently 67's. Initially I thought the 32's were perfect for me - until I swung the 67's - wow!

In the super subjective and psychologically-tainted world of club preference/selection - there can only be personal opinions, stories about ME. There are however, several truths that I've read other reviewers confirm, however. First - these are categorized as "Players' Clubs" - but in fact, these are the true game improvmeent clubs. With little margin for error, the clubs let you know everytime you miss-hit. A big old cavity back "game improvement" club just keeps forgiving you - so where's the real game improvement there?

Secondly, the combination of forging, head design (beauty and an invitation to let it rip, at address) of a blade, incomparable craftsmanship and workability provides even a B golfer like myself, the confidence and joie de jeu (joy of the game) that only a high-end players' club like the 67's can give.

I was extremely fortunate to have had my set configured by the local Mizuno rep. Working together with the guys at a local golf shop, everyone agreed, I should get them bent 1 degree strong and 0.25" longer than standard length. Adding the Project X rifle shafts made a world of difference. The only other quirk, was the substitution of the 3-iron for Mizuno's excellent 3 hybrid - which gives me a lot more utility at my home courses.

My Mizunos are pampered and I'll even take a extra stroke by using my Cleveland Trusty Rusty wedges rather than hit the 67's out of our waste bunkers.

I cannot recommend them highly enough for ANY golfer with solid fundamentals, who wants to get better and is ready to start working the ball.

After you've played these clubs, even for a short time, you'll quickly see what a difference these sticks make. A whole new level of fun will enter your golfing life. The ball flight (largely determined by the ungraded shafts) is a quick climb to a mid-level height and then a boring flat penetration, followed by a soft landing.

Miss-hit these sticks and you'll immediately feel it (missing softness to a slight buzz in the hands), see it (vastly different ball flight) and your next shot will happen sooner (loss of distance).

Anything less than "fantastic" would be doing these beautiful, high quality and performance clubs an undeserved injustice.

Working with the local mizuno rep gave me insight in to what a truly professional yet low-key operation Mizuno is. Long known for producing arguably the best forgings in golf, my interaction with the company can only be described as a sincere pleasure.

I kind of figured there would be more reviews for this club by now--because it's a SUPERB iron! I own several sets of top notch irons(Mizuno MP32, MP67 and Titleist 695MB and 695CB)--kind of a mid-life crisis thing, and these(MP67's) and the Titleist 695MB's are clearly the best of the four mentioned. The MP32's and the 695cb's both seem to be designed to be more specialized in terms of filling a specific niche. The 695cb's are the absolute perfect set of irons for someone that plays in windy conditions or has a tough time keeping thier shots from ballooning, as the trajectory with these is penetrating and very long. The MP32's have a more sole weighted head than most blades, and are great for the golfer who wants an accurate, long, high trajectory, easy to hit, forgiving, and precise set of irons that does'nt require as much practice time as irons with a higher center of gravity. The MP32's will make you feel like a star with minimal effort. However, if you are a bogey player or better, you're going to go ga ga over the MP67--a bit less head heavy feel than the MP32's, but the balance in the backswing is utter sweet neutral perfection! The feel off the clubface is also far superior than the MP32's--soft yet much more solid. The higher center of gravity makes the club vastly more workable, and really it is only marginally less forgiving than the MP32. The MP67 feels so well balanced during the swing and that really allows mid handicappers to be able to play this club. Bottom line: The MP67 is vastly more capable than the MP32 while being only marginally harder to hit--a no brainer choice IMO. The Titleist 695MB's are also superb(a bit more firm/crisp feel) and more toe weighting makes the clubface have a sweet spot that extends farther out towards the toe compared to the MP67 and also seems to make the club a bit more "touchy" to slight hand movements--VERY workable(you better be conscious of the shot you are trying to make because the 695MB's are a blank canvas in terms of the types of shots that can be had). Anyhow, comparing the MP67 to the 695MB is like comparing a Porsche Turbo with a Ferrari--different but both absolutely superb!

These irons are awesome. Period. First, I'll tell you a bit about myself: I play for a high school golf team, have a private golf coach, I love golf, and I'm becoming very serious about it. That should be all I need to say about why I wanted to get an upgrade from the Callaway X-16s. I felt like I'd be able to hit these very well, irons are the strongest part of my game, and my putting is severely lacking which is the cause for my higher-than-I-would-like scores. These clubs are extremely workable, check the Mizuno website to see their capabilities.

These clubs hit like a dream and they look and feel like you'd expect clubs of this caliber to.

About the MP-32s and MP-60s that I tried out; to be honest, I didn't hit them as well and they didn't feel as pure when I did hit them well. Granted, the 60s are supposedly easier to hit, but I highly doubt that slim cavity Mizuno added to the back of those makes much of a difference anyway, it's still a blade and blades are a lot tougher to hit than full cavity-backs.
Here's some advice for when you're at the golf store: don't let the person that helps you with these clubs tell you that you can't hit them until they ask you what the weakest part of your game is, or until they see you swing. That "Oh, you have to hit a 5 handicap or below or you can't use these at all, not even a chance," like the guy that "helped" me out did. If you feel like you're a solid ball-striker, and you're being completely honest with yourself, then it would be advantageous to take a look at these. But, test these to death if you are seriously considering them, have the pro at the golf store take a look at your swing and get all the help you can get when you make your decision.
Simply put, these are the best irons out there; I've heard it from my coach, my other coach, number 1, 2, and 3 varsity players from my school, and the pro at the golf shop I went to. Mizuno blades are the best on the market.

The best part about them, besides their workability, looks, and buttery feel on a pure shot is that they can "teach" you what faults you have in your swing. If you hit off-center with these, you know it. You'll lose a sizable distance and it will feel similar, but not as bad, as when you hit off-center hit with a baseball bat only not nearly as bad, just a little buzz in the hands. The first round I played with these clubs I only hit two bad shots and they weren't even that bad, they still went straight but lost about a fourth of their distance. In fact, I hit these clubs longer than my Callaways, 3 iron is about 210 with these, 8 iron is about 155.

If you are serious about golf and you want to get better then you shouldn't mind their price tag, you will not regret it.

Mizuno MP-32s and MP-60s tested along with the 67s when I bought them, played Callaway X-16s before these.

Mizuno MP 67 (3-PW) w/ TT Black Gold (stiff) shafts. Recently changed from long-time favorite (Dynamic Gold S-300) to the Black Gold. Absolute best feeling iron/shaft combo w/ perfect penetrating ball flight. Easy to work (L/R, Hi/Lo) and fairly forgiving for a muscle back. Definitely the nicest set of irons I've ever played, and switch to Black Gold has made them even better. Ball has nice high trajectory (without ballooning) then flattens out. Distance control is also outstanding.

Prior set was Mizuno MP-30s, also outstanding feel and control w/ superb forgiveness.

I have a set of MP 14s which served me very well for a few years. Last year I went looking for a new set and decided on the MP 60s which were fine but lacked the same feel at address for me from which I was used to with the MP14s. Well, I found a used set of the new MP67s at the local shop so I made the switch.
I have played two rounds since making the switch, and I am very satisfied. My ball striking felt so much better, and that confidence gave me the greenlight to let some balls rip, which in turn made me 1 club longer than normal. I'm not saying these are longer than the 60s or anything like that, it's just I felt so much more confident swinging the 67s.

Mis-hits are mis-hits, as with any players club, these let you know without a doubt when you do. I am not a low handicapper, but I am a good ball striker. That is why I don't suscribe to the notion that blades are only for the scratch golfers. My problems on the course stem from a lack of short game skills.
I reccomend the 67s for anyone like me or for those who want to learn a good swing.

Bottom line is these blades play just like any other blades, the only difference being what each individual feels comfortable with. I happen to prefer the look of the mizuno line, and compared to other forged irons I've hit, they seem to have the softest feeling metal
