'CAN YOU GET BETTER? WELL THIS IS THE BEST FOR ME!'
Strengths:
Solid feel when stricking ball, makes me feel confident and they are very attreactive looks which gives you more confidence. High launch and mainly they have a very soft feel if they you catch sweet. They also look like bladed from the top even though they are only 3/4 but they just look so nice!
Weaknesses:
If you thin the shoot then it does sometimes give you a shock mainly in long irons but im cosistant with them so this is more for higher handicapers as if you are not cosistant it feels horrible and they are a bit expensive as they are a big brand but i no weakness in the performance.
Overall:
Great irons, before purchasing i tried out some other big makes like callaways, ping, MD, adams and ben hogan and there are still my favourites! They are also so easy to clean!

'PROPER SET OF IRONS FOR PROPER GOLFERS.'
Strengths:
Great looks, weight spot on for me heavy but balanced. Excellent feel silky when hit out of the middle and you know when you've hit a bad one, but does'nt seem to affect performamce too much. Never been precise on yardages but I hit a 7 to the middle of the green from 150 marker and base yardages around that. they seem consistent through the set. Well made to usual Mizuno standards, have survived a few anger moments with a few minor dings.
Weaknesses:
Not much, soft forged steel gets a few marks but only to be expected and gives them a worn in look.
Overall:
10 out of 10 almost tempted to get another set just in case mizuno stop making them.

'THE DOG'S NADGERS'
Strengths:
Look fantastic. Compact heads very blade-like at address and the feel's great. Slight miss-hits feel like my old Pings(i3 blades) and middled shots just fly off the face, effortlessly
Weaknesses:
With theese irons it gives you nothing to blame for bad shots but yourself
Overall:
Was a little worried about a possible loss of distance. But i found this not true for me. Have gained length (150 yrds with a Ping 7- iron; 8-iron with these) Custom-fitting is a must. I changed to stiff from regular and found a lovely ball flight. Treat yourself, this is what golf is supposed to feel like.

'SLEEKER THAN JAMES BOND'S TUX AND EVEN SHINNER THAN HIS CAR'
Strengths:
The club has a feel all of it's own. It is fantastic to stand behind and the smaller head (compared to the MX20) gives you the confidence to swing postively through every shot. A superb club for shaping shots. The long irons are easy to hit (as they are with most Mizuno's), the PW is solid club which also eminates confidence. The stiff shaft is hard work whilst the regular shaft gives the feel of a knife through butter. No wasted SW. The price is already around £500
Weaknesses:
The 1 Iron and 2 Iron are still awaited in UK - Why? No custom fitting until later this year. Thank God I'm a Standard Fit
Overall:
Those who have been using the MX20 and now feel ready for a step up this is definately the club. It is a sleak, well made, confidence building club which will benefit players mid handicap and below. Great shapers of the ball and overall something James Bond would be proud to own - once again Mizuno have surpassed themselves and we will be hearing alot more about this club in the future.

'WOW !!'
Strengths:
More consistent hitting and distance control .. with a sweet spot contact that gives astonishing feel. Suprisingly more forgiving than I expected in my step change from my previous 'Sure' irons
Weaknesses:
Have'nt found any yet, although the wait from Nov order to Jan delivery of custom fit was an agony of anticipation !!
Overall:
Couldnt possibly be any more delighted with my first impression of the potential improvement these clubs will bring to my game. The difference between cavity backs and the MP30's reminds me of the impact that getting my first set of custom built irons had when replacing the scabby starter set. I can now see the single figure handicap i'm chasing within sight, hopefully freeing me of the constant 'bandit' jokes my 14 EGU handicap currently delivers ! Watch this space for progress.

'MIZUNO'S FINEST TO DATE - NO DOUBT'
Strengths:
Slick looks, soft feel, crafted clubs, perfect custom fit, and as a major Mizuno fan from years past - perhaps the best set of irons they have made to date - magnificent.
Weaknesses:
Don't be ridiculous - that's like saying a Mercedes Benz SL500 has a weakness - perfect in every way.
Overall:
If you've not played Mizuno irons before, especially the forged ones - then get a life in golf and go buy a set - The MP30's would suit anyone from 10 hcp down to the top Tour pros - Club's do not get any better than this and with the prices coming down too, it's a brillaint buy. Excellent feel, workability, top quality components, excellently built, good ball flight, easy to address/hit and the wedges are awesome too - separate review under Black Ox wedges - Overall - Mizuno raised the bar once again.

'PURE SILK '
Strengths:
Looks superb, They are effortless to hit and being someone who always thought £500+ was too much for a set of irons I have been proved seriously wrong.
Weaknesses:
I just can't fault them
Overall:
The first time I played with them I was begining to wonder how greens are missed. A real life point and click that went where I expected them to go( not usually the case as you all know) getting them fitted was well worth the extra wait of getting them straight from Mizuno

'STUNNING'
Strengths:
Where to start. The looks, the feel, the performance etc. These irons are effortless to use.
Weaknesses:
None
Overall:
I got these irons custom fitted (which I highly recommend doing) & picked them up on a Friday. Played a match on the Sunday & Mis-hit just one shot. They inspire confidence & that then transfers itself to the rest of your game. I won the match too.
