What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the MP-14 is 36° and the Pro TN-93 is 35.5°, a 0.5° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Pro TN-93 should carry about 2 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the MP-14. Across the 11 clubs both sets share, the Pro TN-93 averages 0.7° stronger, with the largest gap at the SW (56° vs 59°). The pitching wedges are 50° and 48.5°; the stronger one leaves a 1.5° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping. Beyond loft, the MP-14 7-iron is 0.25 inches longer (36.75" vs 36.5").
The sets are built differently: the MP-14 runs 1-iron to SW (11 clubs), the Pro TN-93 1-iron to SW (12 clubs).
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.
Both heads are listed as forged. 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.
Both sets were introduced in 1994, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: Mizuno designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The Pro TN-93 is the stronger-lofted set — up to 3° stronger than the MP-14 on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

At the 7-iron the difference is 0.5° (36° vs 35.5°). The largest gap on a shared club is 3° at the SW, and 10 of the 11 shared clubs differ.
Are the Mizuno MP-14 and Pro TN-93 aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are blade irons, built for low single-digit handicaps who strike the ball consistently. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.

Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Mizuno MP-14 is 60.5° lie and 36.75 inches, the Pro TN-93 60.5° and 36.5 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
