What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the MB-001 is 34° and the MB-5005 is 34°, identical at the club most golfers compare on, although other clubs in the sets differ. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the differences roughly cancel out, with the largest gap at the 3-iron (21° vs 22°).
Both are blade irons, built for low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently. Compact muscleback irons with minimal offset, thin toplines and the smallest sweet spot — built for shot-shaping over forgiveness. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The MB-001 is listed as forged muscle-back blade and the MB-5005 as forged muscle back with redistributed rear weighting. With the build method this similar, differences in feel come down to head size, sole width, topline and offset rather than how the heads are made.
There are 4 years between these sets (2013 and 2017), more than one design generation. Over that time irons moved toward stronger lofts, thinner and faster faces, hollow and multi-material heads and wider use of tungsten, so the newer set is not simply a better version of the older one: it may launch and spin quite differently.
Which should you choose?
The MB-5005 is the weaker-lofted set — up to 1° weaker than the MB-001. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
