New Mizuno Irons + Rescue, What you reckon?

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

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.

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.

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!


http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/news/4-new-models-unveiled.php

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
