I've been a blade man since I was a kid, most recently MP-29's. Except for a four-year stint with some MP-32's, the 29's have been in the bag for around 12 years. Well, I got the let's-buy-a-set-of-irons bug and started looking. I've got a very bad habit of just heading to ebay without trying anything out first. Tempted to buy some 53's or 63's in the hope of gaining a bit more forgiveness (I'm 62 and don't always hit the sweet spot anymore), I began my search. After missing out on two or three auctions I managed to win a set of 68's at a very good price. Thank heavens the weather has been good and our course opened two weeks early. I've now played three rounds with these irons and can state they are the finest blades I have ever struck. Talk about sweet...these are like butter! I even picked up a little bit of distance. I highly recommend the 68's to anyone who either know how, or wants to know how, a golf ball is supposed to feel as it leaves the club face. Customer Service I have only communicated with them but they have always been responsive. Similar Products Used: 1968 Wilson Staff DynaPower (I still take them out for a couple of rounds each year), Mizuno True, MP29, MP32. |

Read alot of reviews on here, but have never posted until now. After going through several set of irons (GI, player's, etc), I demoed a MP68 outside at demo day and was blown away! I purchased a set with KBS reg flex shafts. I am around a 12 handicap and my miss is thin. I can actually get under the ball with these and hit them better and make more solid contact vs GI clubs. I'm sure if I stick with them, I will only improve. The harder you go after these, the better the results in my experience. Don't be scared away from these "blades" if you are a mid handicap. They are very forgiving for what they are and will teach you how to hit a ball correctly. |

My uncle plays these irons and recommended that I try them. I previously had played over sized Taylor Made RACs, but as I started shooting in the 70s, I wanted a more compact club. I hit the Titleist MB blades and the Taylor Made CBs, but the MP-68s were smoother and more forgiving than those blades. If you are going to purchase blades, I definitely recommend these. I found myself hitting too much draw with other blades, but with the Mizunos, that is not an issue. |

Just switched from Hogan Apex Plus irons w stiff shaft (4). Went to MP68 with KBS Tour stiff shaft. More consistent than Apex Plus - fewer pulls for me. Just as easy to hit and very easy to work. Was fearful that a true blade would be very unforgiving, but it's not the case. My index is 5-6 and I'm a better wood player than an iron player. Customer Service Excellent - got them custom built in just 3 days. Similar Products Used: Hogan Apex Plus |

I'm a 15 handicapper and tried these haven't never hit blades. Blades are easier to hit than everyone says! Yes, you must have a decent swing. However, when you miss hit, you lose some distance bought they don't slice or better yet duck hook like cavity backs do on a bad swing. They teach you to swing correctly, making the small intuitive adjustments. I have realized that all the marketing out there has led midhandicappers to beliueve that blades are for scratch "highly skilled" players. This is nonsense. Anyone shooting in the 80s can handle blades. Now, as to Mizuno MP68s...beautiful awesome, soft, responsive, everything good. I lost 10 yards distance compared to cavities, but the distances are much more consistent, almost uncanny consistency. These blades are not as punishing as you'd think. Maybe its just the 68s. I'm not sure. But these clubs are worth every penny. And they look really beautiful in my bag too. Similar Products Used: Ping G15, Mizuno MP200 |

Excellent!! After hitting 5 balls at Van's I had to have these. Traded in the MP32 and some other clubs but kept the MP7. Being left handed I was happy to see Mizuno provided a blade for us less fortunate. Similar Products Used: Just about every forged LH irons! |

I just received my mizuno mp 68s. I ordered them with KBS tour shafts and all i can say is OMG call the vet because these puppies are sick!. I'm a single digit handicaper and HIGHLY recommend these sticks for the seriuos player looking for incredible feel and workability. I've owned the callaways and the taylor mades but nothing comes close to these forged blades. Customer Service Ordered my set from Roger Dunns in Santa Ana Ca. received my order within a week. great service and salesman Eric was nothing but professional. |
