Very sharp looking blades, that are actually more forgiving that you would think. The new muscle back design adds a little more forgiveness than most blades I have hit. Flight was solid and easy to manipulate. Typically sharp-looking, solid-performing Mizuno blade. If you are looking to break par when you play, I would give these a shot.

I'm a 14 handicap and these are not difficult to hit. I don't think a mid handicapper should have any real fears of hitting these and if you looking to improve your swing these will be nice to grow into.

Took me about 3 holes to get used to them. I read that getting the shaft optimized helps and to go with a little more flex than you think you need. I followed that and don't have any fear hitting the 3 iron. I was hitting a set of Cleveland Ta6 and grew out of them and replaced them with these. I believe I hit the mp 69 3 iron better than the Cleveland Ta6 (game improvement, moderate offset, moderate sized sole, cavity back design over-sized head comparable to a set of king cobra's).

I went with project X 5.0 shafts. My swing speed with the mizuno shaft analyzer was 84 mph which would fit a project X 5.5 shaft. In hind sight, on fear I went with the 5.0, but after playing with them I think the 5.5 would have been fine.

I have lost nothing playing these versus cavity backs in regards to control, distance, and scoring. I have gained a tool that can help make working the ball easier.

I've decided that blades are game improvement through better feed back/feel and increased ease in ball workability..
