Mizuno irons are very popular with tour professionals. Many Mizuno irons are forged blades which provide excellent feel. They are well suited to low handicap golfers but are perhaps a little less forgiving for high handicap golfers.
Consider the following features when deciding which Mizuno irons are most suitable for your game.
Mizuno irons – cavity backs
Cavity back Mizuno irons have a hollow in the back of the club head. This creates more mass around the perimeter of the club head. Mizuno irons with cavity backs are therefore less prone to twisting when you miss the sweet spot. This makes Mizuno irons with cavity backs more forgiving. Many tour professionals now use cavity back irons. Mizuno irons with deeper cavities are more forgiving but offer less feel to your shots.
Mizuno irons – blades
Bladed Mizuno irons have a thinner club head and no cavity in the back. Mizuno blades provide lots of feel but are less forgiving to hit. Blades are best suited for players with low handicaps.
Mizuno irons – shafts
Mizuno irons with graphite shafts are lighter and more suitable for golfers with slower swings or higher handicaps. Golfers with fast swings usually find they are more accurate with steel shafted Mizuno irons. Most golf professionals with Mizuno irons play steel shafts. New Mizuno irons with graphite shafts typically cost euros 100-200 more than a set with steel shafts.
Mizuno irons - flex
Mizuno irons with regular flex shafts will be suitable for most golfers. If you have a low handicap or fast swing you may prefer Mizuno irons with a stiffer shaft. If you have a higher handicap or slower swing you may prefer Mizuno irons with a more flexible shaft.
Mizuno irons – lie Mizuno
irons with a standard lie are suitable for most golfers. If you are a tall golfer or have a more upright swing you may prefer Mizuno irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees upright. If you are a short golfer or have a flatter swing you may prefer Mizuno irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees flatter.
