They are available on Tour Spec golf, and yes are very rare indeed here in the states.

Yes, very rare for US market. I've been fortunate to have played with them quite a bit, being in Thailand and all, but never owned one.

Great clubs. Used to think they're too "game improvement" before trying them but not at all. I'm talking from an ex-MP33 user's view point. The only bad for me is the PW that is too big and square but there are ways around this. Other than that, others may find MP27 have a touch too much offset. But like I said...they set up just fine for me and play very soft and forgiving.

Price wise, though, someone just made a comment to me very recently that I might as well go for MP60 if I were to invest on a brand new MP27 (very difficult to find brand new now even in where I live). I think he's gotta point!! So, to me....a good condition used set...maybe.

Just MHO.....

what are the off-set values of the mp-27's compariable to?the mp-60's?

Actually they are nearly identical in offset and exactly the same in loft and lie. These irons are still available brand new here in the Philippines. They were discontinued this year in Asia after the launching of the MP-60. The MP-27 can now be bought for about U.S.$700 in graphite from Authorized Mizuno dealers in Hong Kong and Singapore and $600 for the NSPRO setup. Here in the Philippines, they still sell for $800-900. I wanted to get a set of them as a progression from my MX-23's but opted to get the MP-60's instead because I was able to get a good deal on a slightly used set. I used the 27's for a few rounds and they were as forgiving as the mx-23's. It would be nice to have this set in the US though because it would be a rare sight over there.
