I have yet to hit the MP-67 and was wanting as many reviews or help a possible. I have narrowed it down to these two and am not usre which I should go after. I am not able to sample both out on the range so any imput would be greatly appreciated. I have hit the MP-37 before and really liked them. What difference will I find between the two? Thanks for any help.

The MP67 is a slightly larger-headed blade and, for me, gives a higher ballflight than the MP37. I found it played very similarly to the MP33. Relatively forgiving for a blade and quite user-friendly. Essentially it's an MP33 with the 'Cut Muscle' as a bit of a mid-life update.
The MP37 is a smaller headed iron, and is one of the more unforgiving modern irons that it's possible to find. I found it gave me quite a flat, piercing flight when I hit it - much lower than any other recent Mizuno offering - perhaps largely due to the strong lofts. The MP67's are a degree weaker in loft and gave a much higher flight for me.
Aesthetically, the 37 is a little less square-toed, and is fractionally shorter from heel to toe. Both irons have the traditional soft Mizuno feel and are obviously of excellent quality.
Of the two I prefer the MP37, simply because it offers the ballflight I'm looking for. The only caveat for me is that it suffers from a bit of 'Logo Overload' with a a surplus of Mizuno stampings on it. Silly perhaps, but plain is best for me and having two Mizuno logos on the back looks a bit daft IMO.
Then again, the MP67s have got the Runbird logo on the sole and I don't like that either...

I had a set of MP-37s and moved to the 67s when I got a new set. I felt like the 67s were a little easier to hit overall, and the ball flight for me was fairly similar, might have hit the 37s a bit higher but that was probably due to the shafts (tour concepts vs. project x). Also I had the lofts strengthened 1 degree on my 67s because I found I was hitting them a little bit shorter than the 37s because spin it seemed. Overall I prefer the 67s. They just feel a little more solid at impact and I feel like I have better accuracy with them. Both are great irons though, you can't go wrong either way I would say.

Hands down MP 67s in my opinion. In terms of looks, personally the 67s look more appealing to my eye. They might be slighly larger and I know they are more forgiving. I've hit both and like the 67s. I think for a good player they are the ultimate blade iron. I'm also not a big fan of the 37, overall. I think they are very demanding.

Seems as most of the love is going towards the 67's. I was able to demo one today and it felt just like every other Mizuno I have hit. First swing with it was one of the most beautiful shots I have hit in a long time. I had a hard time drawing the ball, seemed to want to fade. I am sure a lot had to do with my swing but still tought when I tried to draw it. Any similiar results from anyone?
