Looking for some other options for my next iron set. I plan on getting them used on ebay and I just want some others to consider. The other set I'm looking at is the Titleist 690.MBs.

I used to have a set of 690's. I liked them alot. I would also recommend the the 735cm (mixed set) if your interested in titlest player clubs in that style or price range. You can probably get either set for really cheap for brand new.

You can get MP-32's on Ebay for $449 brand new. They are better, alot better, than the 33's as these have grain flow forging.

Don't think that's true as my MP-33s have "Grain Flow Forged" stamped on it.

Thanks for the responses but what does grain flow forging even mean? I'm going to check out those other titleist models too.

Nike makes some blades that seem similar. A kid at my club, actually just saw him today plays them. His are slightly different. Not the PC Model, but I can't find a picture anywhere. Plus they have their new Victory Red line.

Don't know what your budget is, but.... WOWOW Miura. Look at these things!

Just a method by which they forge irons that somehow aligns the grain in the steel so that there are no holes or "voids".

I went looking for MP 33s about 6 months ago and ended up with MP 67s, which I really like. The muscle is slightly cut to make the sweet spot larger, but make no mistake these are definitely blades. Not sure I exactly got the next generation MP 33, but I think I got the closet thing Mizuno now makes. I found the MP-32 too clubby for my liking. You know what they say about different strokes...
Happy hunting.

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
