The Mizuno MP-69 irons are modern take on classic blades

The sole shape of the Mizuno MP-69 Irons looked to be have been redesigned to maintain effective bounce and they moved the "Running Bird" from the sole to the back of the iron (Good move Mizuno!). The memories of my MP-32's came flooding back when I picked up one of the MP-69 irons during my fitting. I am not an expert by any stretch, but I do have experience in playing bladed irons. I am almost 59 years old and still find the Mizuno muscle back blades one of the best looking and feeling iron sets made today. This set will take me into my retirement years and am looking forward to many good rounds with them. One does not need to be a scratch golfer to play these irons IMO, but you do need to put a good swing on them to get that iconic "buttery feel" from solid contact. Workablity is another feature I love about blades as one can work a fade even if you are a natural drawer of the ball. The irons are deadly accurate as well. The MP-69's appear to be a little larger than the older MP-32's and a touch more forgiving probably due to the 4D design. You can get these irons with the Project X 5.5 shafts (10-15g lighter) if the S300 feels to heavy for your swing. I used the Mizuno performance DNA software (at Edwin Watts) to confirm the right shaft for me. Both the S300 and PX 5.5 were the #1 and #2 recommended shafts based upon my average SS of 86mph with a 6 iron.
