I have noticed that they are quite cheap and I am thinking about changing to Mizunos but I want to start off cheap to see how I get on, any of you guys got an opinion on them.
Thanks

If you are a consistent ball striker and hit the middle of your irons these would be brilliant! 
I have had a hit with these, and when you catch them well they are beautiful! But i imagine they would punish you on off days!

Now that puts me off
I am a decent ball striker but i prefer just to be able to hit the iron not having to "work" to hit it

Very similar to the MP-57s I have, just aimed at a little lower handicap and are of around the same age tech wise.
I am down to 13 now and my clubs are fantastic for my level. If you can find the middle of the club most times they are brilliant. My MP-57s are not that forgiving on miss hits, you loose about 10-20 yards for a 4 iron and 5-10 on the lower irons, which can lead to greenside bunkers or worse!
It really depends on if you are improving or not, I am coming down and shooting low 80s now, if you are more a low 90s I would say try a good quality cast iron instead.
They are not good clubs for someone who slices or does not compress the ball well as the lofts are quite weak and you will just loose a lot of distance. So in answer to you, you do have to work hard with them but they are a great reward if you can hit them!

I did not suggest clubs did, I am just saying that people who tend to strike on or towards the toe like slicers will struggle to get distance from clubs like the MP-60s and 57s.
I know from experience when I hit the toe, one sad occasion at Hanbury Manor with a 4 iron

I'd look at the MP53 range or even the JPX 800 pro if you are keen on Mizuno as I think you'd get more benefit than any of the 60 range. Any of the 60 (60, 63 etc) are lovely clubs but not overly forgiving on the off centre ones so I think you really need to be having a good ball striking day every round to get the full benefit
Why not go for the MP 57? You should be able to get them for a good price. The heads of the clubs on the 57's are bigger than the 60's and are far more forgiving too. Why not go and try them out most Mizuno dealers would still have an MP60 6 iron and a 57 to compare i would imagine!

I can heartily recommend the MP-57's. Bloody marvellous irons.

I got my 3-PW set for 200, 9 months old and hardly used!
I would probably avoid the no returns one, I bet they are a little more bashed up than described. Anything in the 180-200 range is a good deal for a 4-PW or 3-PW set.
I love mine to bits, they helped me take about 10 shots off my game this year, along with a V-Easy and a new driver shaft.

I picked up a set of 57's last august from eBay for £150. They'd hardly been used. Certainly some decent deals to be had!
