Must be a great feeling to have the skills to get the best out of these beautiful clubs. I used MP60s for a couple of years until I understood that I really did not have the skills to use such fine instruments.
In the waaaaaay back days, I had a company that purchased ALL of Cleveland Golf traditional inventory as they went balls deep with VAS. My set was 2-SW, black finish. I owned them for our cost, $19.81/set🙋 They were magnificent, as good as my Wilson Staff Tour Blades and better than the Wilson Gear Effect irons I also purchased corporately. Like you, I take them out once a month. My TaylorMade Rocketballz, Cleveland sets are much easier to hit, HOWEVER, not close to as much fun. $1,200 for a partial set of irons keep my 20 and 50 year old clubs in the bag. YES! putters & Ping hybrids round things out.😉
I grew up playing blades. I am 65. I went away from blades as newer game improvement clubs came along. I will never go back. I am not a pro. I am a duffer. I like the clubs to help as much as they can.
@@BidenIsKing Also, consider your shaft flex. About 5 years back I finally switched to Senior flex graphite. Wow! I get the ball higher and farther. Also, I added low profile woods and ditched the long irons. I do not use a driver. My 3W is essentially a mini driver, shorter and easier to control and get it in the short grass more. 3W, 5W, 7W, 9W, 7i-9I, PW, 52, 56, 60, 68 wedges. I bounce around between 14 and 16 handicap. The wedges pay off because I cannot hit as far as I need to, to get more greens in regulation. I work on the short game most. It shaves strokes. Also, become an excellent lag putter. That will shave strokes. Cheers, and hit 'em great.
Great video today James and great to hear you reminiscing about your late father keep up the great work on the channel. When is off course coming back you not posted on there for ages
Mizuno, love them or hate them, no how to make a sharp looking club better than anyone. They are always so sleek looking!! The way you hit these and talked about these...well James, I think they gotta go in the bag.
I got the 245s start of this year and they have been fantastic, scores have become more consistent and just feel very comfortable over them. I'm not the player for the 241s but I feel those that are of that skill probably are willing to pay the price for these.
Another top notch video. I had a set of Mizuno MX25 irons, so sorry I sold them, feel and consistency was great. Now playing Callaway steelhead, just not the same.
For me...the fear behind blades is completely over-rated. As long as your clubs are built properly (swing weights, etc), you're essentially swinging the Center Of Gravity, does that really matter if it's a blade of a chunky forgiving club? No. Your skill as a golfer is matching up the COG with the ball. I will take the consistency first but also the looks & feel, every single day.
Mizuno makes a beautiful iron. But I’m a Ben hogan fanatic. I feel like hogans are just as pure as Mizuno irons. I bought a new set of hogan icons and have to say they are the softest irons I’ve ever hit. Unless you hit them off the toe or too thin.
Having owned several Mizuno sets and tried others off and on (TM, Cally, Ping) hands down for me in feel is Mizuno. They look amazing. Play incredible. Plenty of options for all games. 923 Forged for mt set now. Sure price is higher but so are many other great items.
I could probably never have any consistency with a blade because I need all the help I can get but holy cats those are sexy. I would love to try the 7 through pw.
I will say these irons look awesome but the limited Azalea Edition of these Irons (released around Masters time) look AMAZING! I will say, my friend did buy a set of 301MB Takomo's and I gave them a go for a few shots.... I think I lost about a 1/2 club in distance using the 301MB compared to my PING i59s and the Takomo's for some reason felt cheap because the weighting of the clubhead and shaft felt a lot lighter compared to my i59's. HOWEVER his irons weren't fit for me AND the Iron Shaft was probably not suited for my swing (it was the correct flex but just felt so light). My friend loves his 301MBs and I love what Takomo is doing by making golf more affordable.... In terms of price, I was fortunate enough to buy my i59s used from 2nd Swing in the U.S. (with the exact specs I needed) and they ended up being about $50-100 more than brand new Takomo's but a brand new set of i59s would cost around $1,100-1,200 I believe.
I just can’t get use to the mizuno pro logo in the mbs. I play the 223 in 4-6, and mp20 mbs 7-9. The 221 and 241 just don’t do it for me. I would love the new lineup if it were just the mizuno logo on the back and mb or cb on the hosel or something.
We constantly get gains with the massive technology impact from cavity/muscle backs and perimeter weighting. How much have blades Advanced with their either minimal/no technology equivalent. Are the gains over the last 20 years as significant as their cavity/muscle/perimeter cousins.
There is something simply other worldly about Mizunos, I am on my second set in 3 years, but! If your surname rhymes with Smackelboy, then blades like these are great. Meanwhile, in the real world… I am playing JPX 921 hot metal pro’s and they are simply gorgeous. Great distance, amazing feel and the sound like nothing else. Why kill your game other than to pander to your ego? Blades? Beautiful but not for me, or most of us. Great review though, as ever.
Got mine couple weeks ago , really struggling with consistency atm. Think I bit off more than I can chew. Got fitted into them but my swing is all over the place, when I hit them right though wow what a lovely feeling. Just wish I could do it every time
@@SJ-gz2hdThat's just golf. Gotta make that decision of whether you want to fit for the mean of fit for the extreme (good or bad). I love my 243s. Just the right amount of forgiveness for my swing.
Love the irons, but their customer service isn't great TBH. Waiting 2 months now for my set to arrive... and hear that others are waiting 3-4 months. Yikes.
The Mp32 is clearly one of the best blades ever. I'm not good enough to play blades, but I do because nothing is as fun. I like the looks of these, but I couldn't justify it myself.

I am sure I will switch as well. I still play my old Hogan blades from 1999. But, at 56 my speed is not the same.

I have a set of MP64's I take out occasionally just for fun and when you hit them in the center, they are fun!

great video James... I think everything, in regards to price has gone crazy... great review...
Lmao….i think i would shank every shot with those 😂

Great video , I have a blended set 4-7 pro 245 , 8-W pro 241, brilliant irons
The 243 irons are the goldilocks for me.

Whitby, my nemesis 😂 snapped my patella tendon in Sept only just coming back to golf
Still the best club reviewer on RUclips, awesome mate
Love your work ethic James to get these daily informative videos to the people..great review keep it up 💪👍
Thanks buddy, it’s kept me sane tbh in a tough time
Has mizuno ever made an ugly club? They always look amazing.

Got my 245 2° weak just so I can swing around 80% and they are actually worakble

I have the Pro 245’s , hollow body, and I’m in love with them

Have mizuno blades really changed at all? I currently game mp67's I can't really say there's any difference from my old mp14's

I have 245’s and love them I went from 923 hmp to them night and day diff

Beautiful but price 😢
put them in the bag James
James, you should carry an umbrella mate,just in case it rains,cos it usually does in your videos
If you need tech to hit 241’s, you don’t need 241’s lol
Love the irons, but their customer service isn't great TBH. Waiting 2 months now for my set to arrive... and hear that others are waiting 3-4 months. Yikes.
Was you testing 241 or 245
Would love them in the bag but defo not good enough to wield them bad boys ❤
"I need to offer Mizuno an apology..." Again??
Yup
@@JamesRobinsonGolf 😂
The Mp32 is clearly one of the best blades ever. I'm not good enough to play blades, but I do because nothing is as fun.
I like the looks of these, but I couldn't justify it myself.
Mizuno needs better marketing. They're products are top quality but they don't build much excitement around their brand, IMO.
I have a Mizuno fitting today. I really enjoyed their Inside the Factory forging videos earlier this year. Really awesome if you haven’t seen them
Bellend 😂
Are you a RUclips golfer?
Want a match jamesy boy ?
Nothing feels like getting beat by JG_GOLF😂
Club twirls everywhere
Maybe admit you're just not good enough to hit bladed irons. 😂😂😂
Am I still allowed to review them?
