Summary: Been playing these irons since I was a junior in high school. For the last 9 years I have had the MP 14. Only change I made was the shafts (Rifles). Great irons and still to this day are performing excellent.

Summary: Up until recently, I've been hitting the Cobra CXIs- a pretty typical iron by today's standards. I can usually drive the ball about 280 yards, but I did not get the same type of distance with my irons. For instance, I would only hit my 7 iron about 147 on average. I looked up online what some of the best irons of all time were- that is where I first came across these. I realized that I had a Mizuno in my trunk that a family friend had given a few years back. Sure enough it was an MP-14. When I was at the golf course today and about 157 yards out from the pin, I hit my CXI 6 iron about 5 yards short and to the right of the green (I would always fade with the CXIs). I figured- what the heck, why not see how well I could hit the same with the Mizuno 7 iron. I hit the ball about a yard away from the pin (which was back btw)!! Not only that, but it was the smoothest contact I've ever felt in an iron before. Forget the myth that these are only for low handicappers (although I shoot in the 90s, I make good contact with the ball usually, but I just need work on my short game), I'm a 24 and I love em! The funny thing is that these even have a higher loft than other irons. Sure enough, I just ordered a set for 100 bucks tonight and am selling my CXIs.

Summary: Bought these used after reading lots of reviews. I'm a new golfer, three years in, but after two seasons with a set of game improvement irons, I decided it was time to find out if I coud play forged blades. Got a set online used for a bargain price, put new tour velvet grips on and went out and played. Love the look of these clubs, they tell you right away that you need to hit the sweet spot, and by the way there is not a large one to work with. Myself, I am not a range player, it drives me crazy to hit balls without a target in mind. First impression, I found out really fast that my swing needs work, and these clubs tell me exactly what I ned to do. Hit it wrong and you know it right away. Hit right and oh boy, sweet as silk. Funny thing is, these are what tell me when I hit wrong. The game improvement clubs tell me nothing, good or bad, it felt the same. I feel my game has improved a great deal since I have gotten them and my scores reflect it. I've dropped at least 12 strokes/round since I bought them. I'm still a hacker, but I know these clbus will help get me even lower.

Summary: WOW! need i say more. such great irons. the positive feedback from this thread made me buy a great used set with s300 shafts for the bargain price of $82. just needed to regrip and off i went to play.
the trajectory on the balls remind me of the titleist 690.mb but lack the disctance due to the loft. it's a shame the japanese have discontinued making these irons and opted to merge mp14 and mp29 to form another great set of irons -- the mp33-- which is also discontinued...
will continue to use such classic iron set with my 690.mb both are great to hit but i've yet to be consistent with the mp14 3-iron. proably just lack of confidence from the smaller head.
i would encourage others to try a set. they're cheap as chips...cost less than my t-zoid

Summary: Review number 100 for MP-14 ... yaaa!
I am 42, only played golf in 1 year - from may 2006. When I started all newcomers could use clubs for free in a periode; but as full member all of us wanted their own clubs. A lot of them bought cheap sets for beginners, some started with better sets. Not one of them, I know, still have the set they have started with. All of them have new irons in bag in the end of the 2007 season. Their clubs look nice, some of them very sophisticated in design .. yes it all look nice. Most of them plays much more than I do. I have just not the time for it. But most of them do not play better than me.
I bought my first irons used, it was the MP-14`s irons with S300 shaft, after reading a lot of reviews, mainly here. I just liked the nice blade design MP-14 has. They just looked like real golf-irons. If I could not play with them, they was easy to sell, I knew. But I will never go selling them.
The first season I got pain in my chest. I talked with the pro about this and he shaked his head when I told him the irons I used.
This season I only got problems with my arms, they are hurting a bit. Why am I still playing with these stiff-shafted bladeirons? Because I just love play golf with them. The feel when you hit the ball right is just amazing ... you feel it in your whole body and it gives you a kick.
These irons just push you to play better, than mainstream irons do. The line up must be precisly, your swing also; but when you have hit the ball you allways know the shot was good or bad. You get a smaller sole, but you know where you have it. I admit the shaft S300 is to stiff for a beginner; but I still want the "hard feelings".
I have bought some used ordinary clubs with cavitybacks; but they are just not in the same league as MP-14.
Heard Tiger Woods used them some time ago. Sometimes I feel just like him.
