Mizuno Grandeza Elite VT

Advantages: Beautiful to look at and a great feel when struck well
Disadvantages: Aimed for the low handicapped and not very forgiving

...As a 7 handicapper myself, I was recently searching the internet and local golf shops for a new set of irons. My first thought was to go for Mizuno because I have always played with Mizuno irons. You know that when you buy any set of Mizuno irons, they will look lovely at address and feel great when struck. I found that this was true with the MP-33s when i tried then out. The only problem with these irons is that they are not very forgiving. I would recemend them for a good consistant player, off a handicap of 5 or better. I tested all the Mizuno irons on display and found that MP-32s were the way to go as they are a very simular iron but with that extra forgiveness. I now own a set of MP-32s and believe that they are the best irons that you can get on the market.... Read review

Advantages: average price
Disadvantages: better on the market

...I traded in some Wilson 1200 to buy this set of irons last year, 3 to sand iron. They looked great on the shelf and i was recommended them by the assistant in the shop. I researched the irons before i purchased and they sounded really good. i think the irons are forged and have a nice cavity back, the higher irons 5 to 9 have a high launch and supposed to give maximum forgiveness. Mizuno have invested a lot of money on golf club design so i guess they know what they are doing. I found the low end irons 3,4,5 and 6 a little hard to hit, i took those out of my bag and relied on 7,8,9,pw and sw, along with my rescue wood. so basically i paid for the use of 5 irons. After about 6 months i found little specks of rust forming on the inside of the cavity, and i didn't keep them in a damp place. At the end of the day you buy what you feel... Read review

Advantages: Great for impovment, good forgiving face.
Disadvantages: Hevier than graphite shafted clubs.

...Mizuno MX-23 irons. Steel shafted (like all the pros use now) and a great impovement club. I got a set of these for christmas, I had a handicap of 28. Now after using these clubs for less than half a year my handicap has dramaticly changed by 10 i now play off 18. At first they took a big of getting used to compared to my old irons but soon the face hardened up and they went super! In winter weather they hold there own against cold and wet. As well as hitting great shots. Good for improoving players because they are quite forgiving and have a large sweet spot on the face. The first thing i noticed when I bought them was the grips. Very nice grips that make it easy to line up the ball to the club face. Another great thing obout these clubs is that they were a real bargin. I got mine from my pro shop brand new, im glad i did....
