About the Mizuno MS-11
The MS-11 closed out Mizuno's MS line as one of the most loved blades the company ever made — a legend in Japan (as the Mizuno Pro MS-11) that was marketed as the MP-11 in the US. Apart from a distinctive top-line it is a classic muscle back, with two quirks: constant rather than progressive offset (roughly 4mm on every club, which reads as reverse offset in the short irons to modern eyes) and unusually generous bounce for a blade. Lofts are identical to the later MP-29. Mizuno's factory table measured lengths to the end of the grip cap, so the figures below read about a quarter-inch longer than conventional sole-to-grip-edge specs. It is recorded here as a blade per every surviving source, though it is sometimes loosely grouped with easier late-80s Mizunos.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Mizuno MS-11 7-iron?
The Mizuno MS-11 7-iron has a loft of 35 degrees, a lie of 60.5 degrees and about 6 degrees of bounce per Mizuno USA's retired-clubs table.
Is the Mizuno MS-11 the same as the MP-11?
Yes — the Japanese-market Mizuno Pro MS-11 was marketed as the MP-11 in the US; the heads are the same design with different stampings.
Why do Mizuno MS-11 short irons look reverse-offset?
The set uses constant offset of roughly 4mm on every club rather than the modern progressive taper, so the short irons carry more offset than eyes trained on progressive sets expect — it reads as reverse offset but is simply constant.
Do Mizuno MS-11 irons have bounce?
Unusually for a blade, yes — 4 to 6 degrees through the set (even the 2-iron has 4 degrees), one reason owners praise how the soles work from the turf.
Finding a used set
The Mizuno MS-11 ran from 1989 to 1993 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- Mizuno USA's retired-clubs specification table for the MS/P-11, as reposted in full on GolfWRX ('Mizuno Pro MS-11' thread, 2014) — supplied every loft, lie, length, bounce and offset above, with the poster's note that lengths were measured raw to the end of the grip cap and that lofts match the MP-29. Mizuno USA's original retired-clubs database page (mizunousa.com/equipment.nsf/retclubs, listing 'MP/S-11') is archived but its spec tables are not, so this transcription is the surviving copy
- MizunoDBG vintage-Mizuno blog (mizunotp.tech.blog, 'Mizuno MS iron sets') — 1989 release closing the MS line, classic muscle-back description, MP-11 US marketing name, and its status as one of Mizuno's most popular models ever; owners in the GolfWRX thread corroborate the constant ~4mm offset and DG S200 factory shafts of Japanese sets
- The FW club is Mizuno's 52-degree wedge between PW and SW, labeled FW in the factory table. year_discontinued 1993 reflects the first MP-series blades (MP-14/MP-29) that replaced the MS line; confidence is medium because the factory table survives only as a forum transcription
