Will Mizuno's new irons help your game?

We love hearing all about the latest golf irons that are coming out and will soon be on the shelves and ready to have a go with. We’ve been speaking with Mizuno for a while now, and we’re thrilled to finally be able to spill the beans on their new Mizuno Pro irons!

We appreciate that there is a lot of jargon and strange words that crop up when you’re researching golf clubs, so today we want to simplify some of these terms and give you an understanding of how they help the performance of your golf iron.

Simply put: will the Mizuno Pro irons help your game?

Expertly forged

When you get talking to a group of golfers about Mizuno, it’s inevitable that someone will mention how amazing their irons feel. So, what has Mizuno done to create this distinct, notoriously smooth feel?

Well, the forging process for these irons is totally unique. The Mizuno Pro 241 irons are forged from a single piece of mild carbon steel, making them feel solid and wieldy. There’s also a micro-layer of copper beneath the chrome set in place to enhance the overall positive feel of the club.

Once you try one of these irons for yourself, you’ll appreciate how buttery-smooth it feels when you hit a shot just right.

Exceptional weighting

The forging process has the iron feeling superb, but the tech inside the club is a big reason to get excited too. The weight has been redistributed within the ironhead to allow mass placement to be as effective as possible.

Mass has been moved to the very centre of the head to deliver a softer, longer sensation when you strike the ball. Not unlike how a driver feels fantastic when you strike it true, flushing this iron when you’re hitting into the green simply feels fantastic.

New improvements

Having listened to players and applied their research, the new Mizuno Pro 241 irons have fascinating improvements over previous models. The top-line has been refined due to the internal weight movement, and looks impressive when you’re standing over the ball. The blade length has been shortened to make them feel a little bit more flexible, and the bounce angle has been increased by a degree in the long irons to make striking through the turf a little easier.
