I can only comment on the sets I have actually played. There are a lot out there and I've probably owned ten sets of mizzys 

 

1. MP4 - my all time favorite iron they've made - probably the least talked about too. 

2. Mizuno MP 64 - Just so good. Basically a blade with just a touch of extra help. 

3. I don't do the distance iron thing. so I can't say 

4. Overall MP4. They felt incredible 

 

Pretty much my thoughts.

 

I'd also add the Mizuno Originals from the mid-Eighties. There are quite a few different "Mizuno Original", but these are the ones I'm referring to:

Mp14. None of the crazy has to have a razor thin top line nonsense or crazy has to have zero offset nonsense. Easy to hit for a blade, Little bit of offset and a top line that gives you a bit of confidence, and buttery feel! Great clubs!

if you are looking for a set I just passed one up yesterday before getting on a flight back to Canada from OH.  Play it again Springdale OH.  would have had to pull the heads to get them in my carry on.  They were $199.99 USD

MP32.  Best feeling, most playable blade they ever made.  Bested only by ‘99 Hogan Apex.

Haven’t hit them all but my fave is the 68’s. My first blades, I owe them a lot, they made me realise even though they are a blade they are not hard to hit and I hit my best shots with something with a narrow sole

I've enjoyed the MP-5s, MP-69s and for different purposes the MP-52s.

I would have loved to try the MP-20s (with the copper underlay) and/or the MP-20 MMCs.

For me the MP-32s are hard to beat, I played them from 2005 through 2021.  Although most classified them as a blade they felt much more forgiving plus like everyone else states they just felt buttery soft.

Might be a rare vote for these...  

 

MS-11s / MP-11s.  These had a playable CG, surprisingly forgiving for a blade, and one of the first to introduce bounce in the long irons.  They have 5* to 6* in the long and mid irons; a lot of bounce for a blade of the late 80s and early 90s.

I’ve had 2 sets of clubs in my time playing golf since 2010. Mizuno Mx 20 Tzoids & Titleist CB 712. I keep going back to the love of my life...Mizunos. The CBs feel great but just not as smooth & soft as the MXs. Stronger lofted or slightly more weighted than the CBs. It’s like going back to ur secret lover every time. She just knows what to do & do it right.
