About Mx-1000

  I wouldn't want to make a promise that I didn't keep, so here we are again this week, rounding out the last few details on Mizuno's new releases. To recap, we took a look at new irons, hybrids and wedges in the MP series, and now we look at the newest in the MX series of game improvement irons.

  Technology, though always a big part of Mizuno's image, is not usually the first characteristic that one thinks of when thinking of Mizuno Irons. Usually the words "Feel" and or "Balance" tend to come to mind first. I assure you that these irons offer all of the above in great abundance, as well as some new words that are often associated with other makers. Though Mizuno has yet to really make it in "The Driver" category, these irons beat so many other makers at the very niche that they have carved out for themselves, that it becomes a no-brainer as to why Mizuno Irons are still one of the top choices when it comes to those in the know. The technology in these is unbeatable.

  Usually the terms Plasma Welding,and mixed materials, are associated with makers such as Cobra, Nike, Callaway, and other "HIGH TECH" iron makers. Mizuno has managed to Plasma weld a razor thin Maraging Steel Face to a hollow stainless steel body. The hollow body makes for an ultra high MOI and an ultra low COG. This translates into high flying, super long, and ultra straight shots. The beveled sole helps make this possible from even some very funky lies. This is the type of advancement not seen in the "Super Game Improvement" category since the advent of the original "Adams Idea" irons. As a matter of fact, similar to those long lost stalwarts of game saving design, these are somewhat clunky looking. Unlike the Adams Ideas of old, these conduct a lot of feel. I guess they wouldn't bare the Mizuno Moniker if they didn't.

  These are the best "Super Game Improvement" irons to hit the market this year. If they don't hit Gold Medal Status on a certain magazine's hit list, it will be a matter of someone else's advertising dollars buying the prize. These guys are really driving home the point that they are capable of competing on a level playing field with any and all iron makers out there. If you're looking at one companies’ stuff for distance, or another's for forgiveness, or yet another's for technology or even one for feel, you really need to try these.
  Somehow--Mizuno has really rolled all the components into one super long, super forgiving, Super Game Improvement Iron.
