If you are a midcap per who craves feel, has distance, and is just not quite ready for blades yet--Mizuno has the answer for you. This is the set of irons I was aspiring towards before my heart attack. If I ever get my swing speed and distance back, this may very well be my next set. These offer everything a mid-capper ever hoped to get out of a "Player's Club", without the infamous Hogan sting on a miss hit, and they throw in a heavy dose of forgiveness as well. These blades, er uh. Cavity backs, have forged feel, minimal offset, hefty spin, dead-eye accuracy, and handsome looking lines. This is the way to go if you have graduated from the "Super Game Improvement Set", and feel that you're almost ready to go with a "Player's Club." I have yet to hit a "Game Improvement" set that was this workable, this forgiving, this well-balanced, and offered up that "Smooth as butte" feel that only a forged iron can give you. Here's why these move to the front of the pack in this year's offerings.
Built to replace the MX-200 irons, the Mizuno MX-300 Irons range is designed to offer similar levels of feel and workability to Mizuno's MP irons (for better players) but with all the performance benefits of the game-improving MX line. The result is a club that can be used by game improvers and single-figure handicappers alike. A bold claim indeed.
Featuring reduced offset and a more compact head, the Mizuno MX-300 Irons
give proficient ball strikers who find the MP series just a little bit too tough to hit consistently out of the sweet spot, the chance to experience the joys of Mizuno forging. The MX-200, nice club though it is, robs better players of elements of workability and shot-making, but the Mizuno MX-300 Irons give all that back and more.
Feel has been enhanced through a re-working of Mizuno’s Y-tune Pro technology, which has been literally turned on its side to work vertically on the Mizuno MX-300 Irons head rather than horizontally, which claims to improve flight control and increase feel on slight miss-hits.
The transition of the set from cavity to power bar works well, although I imagine some players will give up the 3- Mizuno MX-300 Irons in favor of one of Mizuno’s new Fli-Hi hybrids.
The Mizuno MX-300 irons do their job very well. It provides playability, enough forgiveness for a proficient but not stellar iron player and a feel to die for. Few cavity backed irons have that level of purity in the strike and even fewer make you want to go and buy another basket of balls and carry on hitting them but that’s what I did.
It’s a competitive market in the low-mid handicap zone but if you fall into that category than the Mizuno MX-300 Irons is a must try.
