Balance of Forgiveness and Feel Mizuno MX-1000 Irons Review

Each year consumers are inundated with new iron sets in the golf shop and it can get extremely confusing as to what set will work best for what type of golfer you are. Mizuno has taken a unique approach into the idea by having a larger amount of options to fit just about any player out there. The Mizuno MX-1000 irons are designed for golfers looking for maximum forgiveness without sacrificing a lot of the feel and performance that Mizuno irons are synonymous with.

 

Astonishing distances that push the boundaries of the R&A and USGA's performance limitations are achieved by plasma welding a thin, hot, ES230 maraging steel face to a 431 stainless steel body – a technique perfected in Mizuno's MP Fli-Hi utility iron.

 

The HOT METAL face is teamed with a hollow construction and internal weighting -encouraging strikes from a wide area of the face to hold their line with minimal distance loss. The hollow construction also allows weight to be engineered deep within the head for a naturally high trajectory – enabling the use of stronger lofts for even greater distance.

 

Aggressively bevelled lead and trailing edges effectively narrow the substantial soleplate of these golf clubs, for clean turf interaction and use from a variety of lies.

 

In terms of appearance, you'll see at first glance that this may qualify as one of Mizuno's less subdued irons. But if you have a close look, you will find the grey channel in the cavity is textured with tiny Mizuno logos, and the rest of the cavity deviates from the normal blue/yellow combination in favor of black and grey.

 

Overall, if you are looking for an iron set in a golf shop, and what you want is ultimate forgiveness and distance, the Mizuno MX-1000 irons is yours. Moreover, this model is designed to conform to the 2010 Condition of Competition rule.
