New Mizuno Irons + Rescue, What you reckon?

http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/galleries/7599/1/0/mizuno-irons.html



Not a fan of the looks from these pics but being Mizuno Irons they will most probably be ace to play with.

Re: New Mizuno Irons + Rescue, What you reckon?

Not so sure myself in terms of how they look (apart from the MP62 which I couldn't justify anyway!) but I agree they will inevitably be decent despite looking somewhat cheap and artificial with the labeling as such looking like it is just a sticker (the mx100s especially.) Also how much better they will be than those they are replacing I am not sure. It will undoubtedly mean there will be some bargains to have on the current sets of mizzis in future months though.

Re: New Mizuno Irons + Rescue, What you reckon?

they have their national fitting centre at my club so I will try and get my hands on a set and let you know how they look in the flesh.

Gotta get off to sleep, I have a 7.45 tee time but still feel a little drunk fuzzy headed.

All the images are of different irons from the range & not really able to see any one club from all angles.

htl, which of the new Mizuno's do you have a problem with visually ?

Like 'em!

Got MX17's and will be looking to replace next year so might try the 200's or 100's.

(Or get a nice bargain on the current line up fingers crossed)

They do look nice, I have the MX19s at the moment and they are dropping my hcp fast, so when I steady out at 10-12ish I will be looking to replace them with a little more muscle, maybe 8-12 months time and bare these in mind.

They're ok. Mizuno haven't made a better set of irons for handicap golfers than the MX20s and MX15s though.

I prefer Mizuno's new gear, the T-ziod didnt do anything for me.

Me too......I had a set of C-F T-zoids that I swapped for a dishwasher (with my next door neighbour) after 12 months of sheer desperation. They were cast, oversize and offset ... grim. Worst clubs I ever owned.....but the new stuff is sweet.

Yeah, but they didn't compare to the 15s and 20s

A bit better info from here!

The MP62 are my favourite because of the cleaner lines and i just don't like irons with a big pocket cavity.

Not sure that I am good enough for the MP62 but the MX100 and MX200 may be right up my street.

Were the 15s and 20s T-zoid family. I'm guessing they were and much better than the originals from years earlier.
Mizuno make great clubs....I guess I was unlucky

Just looked at the additional link Big Russ found & the new clubs are a great improvement over the old budget Mizuno's
