1994 Mizuno MP 14 Irons, Forged Blades - The Vintage Golfer 

They are more forgiving than one would think. According to the Maltby Playabilty Factor specs, they are only slightly less forgiving than the much more modern mp-20 blades or the Pro 225 blades, which are very forgiving for blades.

I did the same thing in HS. Didn’t help my game but you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t Tiger.

I'm playing with MP32s too. Once made a mistake of selling them only to repurchase a set less than a year later

@@RFoxVIII I used to have set back in 2008-2009 but sold mine then because I just had my first daughter and chose to play something more forgiving at that time because I knew I'd be playing a little less. I finally picked another set up last year. They still aren't my full time gamers (currently my Srixon ZX7 fill that spot) but they definitely get playing time and are still a joy to use, and this time I'm not letting them go.

I have a almost new set of 32s excellent clubs, my favorite is the MP 29 irons and I just picked up a minty original set , Mizuno has put out some really good irons over the years.

Awesome! You are hitting some gems. Lightly used MP 14s must be top of all time greatest irons I see today.

That's how it is with forged clubs. They're all made of carbon steel and will rust when the chrome wears off at the sweet spot.

@@cgasucks Exactly. They were very distracting looking down at the ball, you know?

@@thebigeasy8609 That's how it is. Doesn't bother Tiger though. Have you seen his irons?

Sounds like my 14s.

Me too! I really do like their runner bird logo too. One of the best logos in the industry in my opinion.

True

MP 14 irons are the best golf teacher you can get.

Those Precision irons are slightly harder to find than the MP 14's. It is good to remember the roots of modern muscle backs. Hogan famously was very upset at the quality and consistency of the Precision irons. Supposedly, he had whole batches that didn't meet his standards destroyed. Not only did they create the first modern blade they improved manufacturing quality immensely. Awesome Hogan clubs, hopefully we will see some come through on this channel.

@@TheVintageGolfer The fate of the first production run from Hogan's Ft Worth factory is one of golf's mysteries. The issue I believe was the bore through into the hosel and also affected the woods. There is first hand accounts that the woods were destroyed by cutting through the neck. The mystery lies in the irons. Some say they were put back in the forge, some say they lay around the factory for years and some say they were sold and exported. Whatever the truth, circa $100,000 of inventory was written off - around $1.5M in todays money. This scared Hogan's investors and left Hogan in sole control of the business. Hogan irons were of fantastic quality right up to him loosing control not long before his passing. Subsequent Hogan relaunches were never quite the same. Interestingly on the Mp14's - Tiger played a hybrid set of Mizuno TN87 and Mp14's before turning pro. When he signed for Nike he basically asked Nike to manufacture a set of Mp14's for him. He did the same on his move to Taylormade. Lineage right back to Hogan's 1954 design!

What a steal! Lol

Man...I thought I had a steal of a deal when I got a 2-E set of 1999 Hogan Apex Blades for $80 CDN.

@@cgasucks..You did!

you really play with 2 or 3 MP-14 irons? bold man..

@@tonythaiger93 I’m a scratch golfer and played golf in college, but now that I’m getting older and have two kids, I just like to collect shiny things. Definitely a mizuno guy through and through!

I like your style. The Muirfield 20th irons are always competing for the my favorite irons ever made. Miura irons are also gorgeous but I've never hit them.

I have the original Muirfields and also the. MP 14. Love them both, but oh my God are the MacGregors are beautiful.

With all due respect, you are dead wrong. I have these irons, and they are quite forgiving. I am not a great ball hitter, but these clubs are just butter. Don’t be afraid of blades.
