Mizuno MX-23 Irons

Goal Of Iron Set: The difficult challenge of uniting forgiveness with real feel and playability.

From Mizuno: A bold claim from Mizuno who reportedly challenged themselves to make a more powerful and consistent iron and said upon release that with the MX-23 they had developed an iron set that can "offer...game improvement technology while maintaining the solid, soft feel".

We Say: The most recent addition to Mizuno's quality line of forged irons is the MX-23 iron. According to a recent press release, Mizuno officials claim that they have developed an iron that can "offer...game improvement technology while maintaining the solid, soft feel" that is a staple of a Mizuno Grain Flow Forged iron. This club does seem to offer an ability to hit more easily, as well as a greater feel.

The MX-23 has been developed with a pocket cavity that is wider and longer, and thus it allows for a more powerful launch and more control over your playing. As is a trademark of all appealing clubs, the MX-23 offers an extremely large sweet spot that enables you to hit the ball further and with more forgiveness. Its 3-7 irons are created in a way that you will discover your launches to be deeper. This is due in part to a lower center of gravity on the club. As for the 8-P clubs, you will find that the MX-23 irons let you hit with much more control and flexibility. In other words, they will allow for more accuracy where you really need it- on the green.

In Conclusion: A unique and beautifully formed set of forged irons that come as close as any set on the market in combining forgiveness and playability. Two thumbs up.
