    Ok, all of these irons are considered "Blade Style" irons. So they are very similar in almost every way. The mp33 is a muscle back blade style iron. This model is forged, as almost all Mizuno irons. This means that the alloy was rendered through a different process than casting. Forging makes the metal softer for better feel. This club is non-forgiving and is for low to no handicap players that are superb ball strikers. The mp32 is what is referred to as "Cut-Muscle" this is a concept that Mizuno is the flagship of. All it really means is that it is the mp33 with a slightly bigger sweet spot because the weight to the clubhead is distibuted barely more to the outside. These forged clubs are exceptional in every way. The mp-60 is the least workable and most forgiving of the three. Although this club is more workable than that of probably almost any other companies muscle back designs. These clubs are more forgiving because they are far more perimeter weighted than the other two.These clubs are also forged. The similarities between the three make them hard to distinguish what makes them different.
    Here's an easy way to keep track
    MP33 - most workable, least forgiving
    MP32 - extremely workable, more forgiving than MP33
    MP60 - least workable, most forgiving
    By workable I mean the ability to play shots with side spin, ie fade, cut, draw etc.
    But these clubs are the best money can buy in my humble opinion. If I had a grand to blow on irons I would play them in a second and you can bet your ass.
    Here is a link to a website that goes into a little more detail than what I just wrote here:

    Just click and read about these and other irons Mizuno makes.

    Well, the other guy is mostly right, but he answered about the MP-60 irons (which I play) not the MP-67 irons (which you asked about).

    Basically, you have a small amount of visual difference in the three clubs. MP-33 is a straight muscle-back blade. That means that the back of the club has no indentations (cavity) at all. The MP-32 has "cut-muscle", which means that it looks almost exactly like the MP-33, but with a small cavity (very small) "cut" into the back to redistribute the C.O.G. (center of gravity) of the club to a more advantageous spot. It also helps to consistently position the sweet spot throughout the set.

    The MP-67 is almost identical to the MP-32. It's cut-muscle design is called "slender", but when I was in the market for new irons (I ended up buying the MP-60) I tried out the 32's, the 60's and the 67's. I wanted to like the 32's so badly, but the 60's were simply better for me. I could tell NO difference at all between the MP-32 and the MP-67. I think there is a slight difference in the sole of the club, so perhaps there is a slight difference in how they play from one lie to another, but it's very, very slight.

    I bet if you swung all 4 clubs (32, 33, 60, 67) and didn't know which one you were swinging, you wouldn't be able to tell.

    They're all great offerings.
