Just started playing again this season after nearly 20 years of maybe 10 rounds total--was a solid 6 handicapper back in the day now struggling to break 80. Anyway my irons are 30 yo Titleist blades so i'm in the market for some new ones. After a lot of research on the internet I was convinced I needed either Titleist AP1's or AP2's. Got a hold of demo 6i AP1 and 5i, 6i, and PW AP2's and hit about 300 balls in total. My initial impression after about 10 balls each was I like the AP2 better, just seemed to feel more pure when I hit it flush. But the more shots I hit the better I began hitting the AP1's. I've always hit a high trajectory and both the AP1 and AP2 were similar in that regard. I was able to draw either, but found it difficult to hit a fade with either one. Towards the end of my trial I was hitting both equally well but the AP2 still felt more solid and I felt the smaller clubhead of the AP2 (which I used to) compared to the AP1 forces you to pay more attention when setting up to strike the ball and encourages a more precise swing. I returned the demo's and the rep gave me some Mizuno MP-52 and MP-62 to trial--I was totally blown away! In my nearly 35+ years of golf I've never hit shots that felt so solid. I only had enough daylight to hit about 60 balls total but my first impression is that both the 52's and 62's are equal to/or superior to the Titleist AP2's in terms of feel, but no real discernable difference in ball flight. The AP2, MP-52 and 62 are similar in clubhead size and all set up very nicely and naturally. I'm gonna try the 52's and 62's tomorrow in a practice round, experiment with various lies, etc. and will report back.

I have had the MX-100 set for about a month now, and love them. I'm a 30+ handicap player, and it feels like those clubs were made for me. Extremely forgiving as I am getting lift and distance on the ball even when I hit off center (toe, heel, thin...etc). Have shaved about 10 strokes from my round since I started playing these clubs.

I plan to buy either the mx-100 0r the mx-200. If someone has compared the clubs side by side please give me your opinion. I am 60 play to a 10.

I just got MX200 and I really like that. The feel is so so great and shaft combination really worked for me. I like to recommend this set. Amazing MX200 !!!

I bought my first new set of irons 8 yrs ago. They were Mizuno T-Zoids. I loved them. About 6 months ago after taking a couple yrs off from golf I started playing again and noticed the feedback, when I wasn't hitting the sweet spot was brutal. I bought a new set of Callaway X 20's. I can't get used to the large head and lack of feel. I'm now selling those on Ebay and going to buy the MX200's. I went to the local golf store and hit the Titlest Ap2 and Nike Forged Irons and I loved the feel of the Mizuno's. I'm not as happy with the look compared to the AP-2's or even the Nike's but the feel of the Mizno's is perfect!!

Purchased MX-200's on Saturday and decided to NOT open them until after doing more research. Today, 3 days later, went back to GolfSmith to hit the MP52's & AP2's. Hit both clubs well but definitely felt like the 52's were better built and gave great feedback. Was a 10HDCP 15 years ago but a growing business and family basically turned me into a Fundraiser golfer each season. Can't wait to take the 52's out and truly play. My son's, now 12 & 14 are getting excited about getting out on the course (back yard) and enjoying some rounds with Dad... hopefully, the MP52's will give me the feedback and excitement to get serious about improving my game. Thanks in advance to Mizuno.

Went through Golf Fitting with Mike thinking I wanted to purchase the Titleist AP 1 or 2s. After hitting some 100 shots - the MX-100 was the club of choice. More forgiving than Titleist and Taylor - closer match was Ping Is and Cobras .... opted for MX-100 set. Club Head Speed 80s, USGA Handicap 14. Woody

I'm going to finally have the chance to demo these ON A COURSE next week. I've hit them at the range and like them a lot.

Does anyone else have any more feedback on this. Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of reviews out there.

I have been playing with a set of the MX200's (4-PW & 50*) for the past 5/6 wks and pleased to report that they are excellent. The feel is first rate - I have to say that this is my 4th set of Mizuno's and I can honestly say that they are right when they say that nothing plays like Mizuno forged clubs! My first set was a MX20 and they to me were the finest set of clubs I had ever owned (they were stolen so I had to replace them). The MX200 are in my opinion equally as good if not better, they are very forgiving and come with an excellent shaft combination. The only thing you need to watch is that the lofts are a bit stronger than the MP range - you need to be aware of this if you are into even degree differential between the PW and gap/sand/lob. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

I am waiting for a Demo Day/Fitting event to come here (there is one on Sunday but I will be in San Diego...) to figure out the clubs to get. I hit a returned set of 52's at the local shop and am HOOKED! One sales person told me to stick to cast clubs....yeah, no.

I think of it like this, a set of Mizuno irons will make me want to improve. Who says I am not good enough for them? So long as I look at my limitations, I will find a set I can play!
