I've had these in play for a few months now and only now the weather has picked up slightly have I had them out on the course to give them a fair review.
TBH I hit my irons short so I was looking for any help I could get,I hit these up against my Ping Rapture V2's and they were longer and felt good, I liked the compact head in the wedges and the forgivness in the longer irons. Yes I know the lofts are jacked up but the game is 90% in the head so when you are holding a 4 iron in your hand but it's actually stamped with a 5 you think to yourself I can hit this no problem and 99% of the time I do.
I like the fact that the set came with a gap wedge included and found the wedges to be versatile so added in a lob wedge to match and they have been great for pitches and chips around the green.
For some reason I did not get on with the 4 iron, the loft on this is a ridiculus 20 degrees, I got on very well with the 5 iron and at 23 degrees could not really fathom why I could hit one but not the other.The 4 and 5 from the set are hybrid design irons and are hollow,but they seem to blend into the set distance wise very well, the 6-SW are more traditional cavity back design but not overly huge and not to thick a top line.
My only gripe is the jacked lofts can confuse the lower end of the bag, I dropped the 4 iron in favour of a hybrid which was easier to hit and more versatile.
Overall I would say these are lovely clubs which can be picked up for a bargain price now that they have been superceeded by the rocket blades.
 
I looked at them before gettng my JPX 825 Pro irons

Didnt like the look so didnt even try them !

The JPX825 Pro has a small head and tiny cavity a bit like the MP53

I play off 20 and hit them very well so they are a good club for all players
