MX-300 Irons Review

The Mizuno MX-300 Irons is another strong Mizuno design. It has a small cavity back adorned with simple black and silver graphics and looks neat and classy. The top line is pretty thin but there’s a bit of width there to stop your teeth chattering as you address it. Mizuno MX-300 Irons look like just what it is, an iron that isn’t quite a blade or muscle back nor a chunky game improvement iron.

The first thing that intrigued me about the Mizuno MX-300's was the look. The double nickel chrome plated finish, the clean flowing lines, the minimal progressive offset, the smooth transition of the pocket cavity in the longer irons (3-7) to the power bar in the longer irons (8-PW), all the way to the RunBird logo...these irons are a thing of beauty. 

A unique piece that stands out on the Mizuno MX-300 Irons is the dual chambered sole. Obviously there for performance reasons, but just seeing the amount of detail in this compact head design truly deserves to be in a category of its own.

At address, the Mizuno MX-300 Irons frames the ball perfectly. Looking down inspires confidence. Mizuno irons will always be known for their elegance and they cut no corners by taking this all the way down to their game improvement MX line. 

The lofts are strong for distance junkies but the head contains Mizuno’s Y-Tune technology that helps lessen the drop off in performance from toe end hits. You can see from the picture how that Y shaped bar runs across the back of the Mizuno MX-300 Irons and separates into the arms of the Y toward the toe. All very discreetly of course, this is Mizuno we are talking about.

So is it the best of both worlds or a bit of a lost soul? Only one way to find out and the range were calling…

If you are looking for precision instruments--this is the finest "Game Improvement" iron to hit the market this year. It is just a hair away from tour level stuff. The offset is almost zero, the forging is the best in the business, and there's technology galore to boot. I'm not usually good enough to play an iron that only focuses on--"Old World Craftsmanship", and I usually don't care for the ones that focus only on "The Latest Kitsch." These irons are an unbelievable combination of the two, and at times, I felt like my game was being elevated to a higher level.
