I was skeptical as I had NEVER hit a Mizuno iron. I was moving from a set of Adams V3's that I really struggled with the Hybrids in the set. First when I received the Mizuno's I was greatly appreciating the fact that they were in great shape, the grips were good and the sight lines on these irons were fantastic. I did not take them to the range but went straight to a local course. Of course there is some adjusting to them but they performed very well. This is the best set of irons I have ever played. I am 57 and can hit the 3 iron 200 straight or with a little draw. if you are a new golfer and want to make the investment the MP 30's will not disappoint.

I've had many clubs in my golfing life and have been a steady 10-12 handicaper with flashes of greatness for many of those years. I owned these MP30 4 sets ago, getting rid of them only because I worked at a golf shop. Now I am a solid 7-8 handicap and picked these clubs up for a song (plus a few bucks). I see my handicap going down to the kick butt range. Thanks Mizuno. After having them for another short Minnesota season, I wish I were as good as I used to be. My consistent ball striking ability just ain't there for these clubs. I still love them and in my nightly practice sessions in my head, these have a penatrating ball flight, move left or right on command, and can make me a ham sandwich. When I go postal at work and devote my life full time to golf, I will play these and kick butt
I bought the irons primarily due to the fact they had graphite shafts. Over the last few years I have been plagued by a form of "tennis elbow" and an older friend said other golfers at his club, all 55+ years of age, were having the same problems. Everyone one of those golfers got rid of their steel shafted irons and went to graphite shafts and the pain went away. I have only played 4 rounds since I bought the irons and the pain is not completely gone but it is much less than when I played my steel shafted irons. I knew the irons I bought were no longer considered a "current" iron by Mizuno as most manufacturers are introducing 2 - 3 new types/styles of irons each year. However, I have owned other Mizuno irons and liked them a lot. I also did not want to spend $700 plus for the "newest" irons if the graphite shafts did not solve my primary reason for buying them. I was very happy that I was able to purchase the irons at the price I did.Read full review
I made a serious mistake. I bought a new set of irons because I felt I didn't have time to practice the MP-30s. I'm sort of regretting the purchase because the new clubs just don't feel right to me eventhough they are a great set of clubs. I have since taken the new ones out and put the mizunos back in. I couldn't be happier. The ball flight is predictable and the feel is good. The smaller head seems to be more beneficial than harmful as they have forced me to pay more attention to swing details. I tried to hit a new Taylormade Burner XD iron and couldn't get past the supersized head. 'Zuno for life!
I was having a hard time playing with my 20 year old golf irons. My distance was at least 10 yards off what I had hit for the last 20 years. I had hear all the latest discussions of what technology was doing for all golfers not just pro's and I wanted some of that high tech. I went to proshop and tried the demo's that were available and found one set I liked but could not afford. I went to ebay and started to bid on the set I liked they still were more than I was willing to pay. I started to follow and watch multiple sets up for auction and finally won a relatively new set of Mizuno MP-30 with stiff shafts. My son 24 years my junior and a scratch player said they were possibly to much of a blade and maybe too stiff for my 56 year old swing. I had already won the auction and was eagerly awaiting the clubs arrival. Well to my surprise the clubs arrived and were almost brand new better than described in listing reminded me of opening christmas presents in my youth and the excitement I felt. I went to the range as soon as possible and experienced the return of lost distance and some of my lost accuracy. Well it's been two months since I started using my new irons and I wonder why I waited so long.Read full review
