I am a seven handicap and working at getting it lower like everyone else out there. I decided to purchase my new set of irons by custom fitting rather than just off the rack. After a shaftlab analysis as well as a fitting session with a PGA professional, I decided to purchase the Mizuno MP 60 forged irons based entirely on recommendation. My iron specs are 2 degrees flat and 1/2 inch short, so I really didn't think hitting a standard lie demo iron would give me any indication of its performance. I have to say that I am thorougly satisfied with the results. The MP 60 is considered a "player's club" because it allows you to work the ball much like forged blades. But at the same time, offers some degree of forgiveness on toe or heel shots. I have noticed about a 10% to 15% loss of distance on off center shots which still leaves you in good shape to recover. Solid shots provide very consistent distances for me. THAT is, in my opinion, the greatest asset of these clubs. I have found in the past that my "game improvement irons" would surprise me with some added distance I wasn't expecting and put me over the green with what I thought was a great shot. I would recommend these irons to any player with above average skills. If you're playing bogie golf or worse, don't kid yourself that these clubs will improve your game. You are probably better off with true game improvement irons that have a deeper cavity back. Come back to these when your skill level improves. For those players with skillz, leave your ego on the range and skip the true-blades and give these a try. Here's an interesting stat for you, only 20% of the best players in the world use true blades. If a majority of the best players in the world choose to use non-blade irons, why would you think that blades could possibly be an asset for your game? You aren't going to regret buying these clubs, you're going to get the feel and feedback of blades but with moderate forgiveness like cavity backs.
