Mizuno MX-17 Iron

Advantages: Perfect for mid-to-high handicappers
Disadvantages: Looks

...I purchased a set of Mizuno MX-17 (steel) irons in April 2005 for £349, replacing my ageing Progen's that had never really done me justice. At first I thought that the Mizunos were slightly expensive, however after my first practice I could see why Mizuno had such a good reputation as iron-makers and so believed that the price was adequate. There was also the possibility of alternatively buying graphite shafts for £469 but I have always thought steel ...
...The long irons (3-6) feature a huge cavity pocket and low centre of gravity which provides a solid contact all over the club head, so making them extremely forgiving on mishits. With my Progens the long irons were always very hard to hit and there was never room for misjudegement. But with the Mizuno's, if you are slightly off the sweet spot the ball still goes straight.

Advantages: average price
Disadvantages: better on the market

...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. ...
...saying that these might suit my game. I don't think i would ever buy anymore Mizuno irons after trading them in for Callaway but if you like mizuno give them a go. Basically, i found them hard to use and the low irons stayed out of my bag. ... Read review
