[QUOTE name="Valleygolfer" url="/t/65832/why-are-the-mizuno-mp-33s-so-good#post_964749"]   [QUOTE name="Lihu" url="/t/65832/why-are-the-mizuno-mp-33s-so-good#post_964626"] I guess I should also add that I saw someone hitting MP33, and he insisted on making himself miserable hitting a 2 iron. He hit the face pretty cleanly, but was lucky to get 120 yards with it. I don't think he hit down on it enough to compress the ball. Honestly, there is no way I could hit these clubs even left handed. I am concluding that you need to be a pro or +2 handicap to really hit this club, and enjoy it.[/QUOTE] You can't try to hit the 2, it has to be a smooth swing. I am probably 80/20 on it. 80 percent of the time it is solid. 20 percent of the time it rattles you with a 120 yarder. Toe hits are usually the painful ones. [/QUOTE] Yeah, MP33 is really hard to hit well. They might be only good as a collectors item for me. I'll probably stick with my MP-32, until I get something like the i25, S55 or MP-54? The only thing I don't like about Mizuno is their minimal offering to lefties, which is why I like Ping.

I was shopping the MP54s, but like the AP2s a little more. I like ping but not sure if I want to buy another set again.

AP2 seem really good, too. I tested a 6i, and liked it.

I've been playing the mp33's for 13 yrs now. The feel of the clubs when you hit it in the middle is the same as any other blade, like a fluffy cloud giving you a nice handshake if a cloud had a hand. I actually was not impressed with the 32's, found they were a clunky feel but that could have just been myself hitting a club that weighed and felt different in my hands. Technology for blades won't progress enough to know the difference.

The MP-33's were the best irons I've ever owned. I wore out 2 sets and was on my 3rd by the time life caught up with me and I decided to get something less demanding. They're deserving of every Mizuno cliche. 

If I ever come across a new or like new set, I will probably buy them just for nostalgia sake.

Cheers, Allan

    • Whoa. I'm a bit behind on my episodes so gotta catch up. Varying distance by +/- half a yard 200 out deliberately is........ well, if it wasn't Scottie attempting it, sounds incredulous. Insane indeed.
    • So you understand this format is intended to get as many people involved as possible, but you prefer a format where the only scores that are likely to count are those of the better players.  How often do you think the score of the D player would count?  And knowing his score won't count, why would be "be bothered" to play?   I'm not a fan of scrambles, but I understand the reason to use the format.  I DO enjoy meeting club members, and I believe that my club's spring scramgle is relatively free of cheating, although there definitely ARE some players who overdo the libations.  If your club's scramble is rife with cheating, that's a problem with the culture of your club, not a problem with scrambles in general.  
    • I know that every golf outing is always a scramble because of the varied skill levels, but my buddy thinks I'm a snob because I don't like to play our club's kickoff event, which is an A-B-C-D scramble.  Yeah, I get the point of it to mix teams up and get to know other/new members, but I honestly can't be bothered.  Would much rather that they play it as a SWAT format - still A-B-C-D players, but you only count the lowest gross score (no gimmes).   I just don't get the point of scrambles beyond people who love to booze it up and they are always rife with cheating.
