What the differences mean
Every club the two sets share has exactly the same loft, starting with a 35° 7-iron. On paper there is no distance or trajectory difference: with the same swing, a 7-iron from either set should launch and carry about the same. The real differences are in how the heads are built, how they look at address and how they feel at impact, none of which a spec table can show.
The sets are built differently: the MS-11 runs 1-iron to SW (12 clubs), the MP-29 1-iron to SW (11 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.
The MS-11 is listed as forged muscle back and the MP-29 as forged. The MS-11's muscle-back shape keeps mass directly behind the strike for feedback and control, where a cavity spreads it to the perimeter for forgiveness.
The MP-29 came out 3 years after the MS-11, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The MS-11 and MP-29 share the same lofts on every club on file, so the difference is in head construction, feel and forgiveness rather than trajectory.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Mizuno MS-11 stronger lofted than the MP-29?
No. Both have a 35° 7-iron and the same loft on every club they share, so neither is stronger lofted. The difference is in construction and feel.
What is the loft difference between the Mizuno MS-11 and MP-29?
There is none. Every club both sets include has the same loft, including the 35° 7-iron.
Are the Mizuno MS-11 and MP-29 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.
Do the Mizuno MS-11 and MP-29 have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Mizuno MS-11 is 60.5° lie and 36.375 inches, the MP-29 60.5° and 36.75 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
