Mizuno Scratch-Sac Golf Bag

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: Easy to use,fantastic distance
Disadvantages: Not for the beginer, Poor grip

...This club really is something special, Like all Mizuno clubs its very well made and comes with a top quality zip up head cover. The shaft is wider than I'm used to and straight rather than stepped. The shaft also has a lot of flex making me wonder if its perhaps not for the rank beginer. The head is, as you would expect from a fairway wood,quite small (7 wood) but has a good wieght and a great feel on the swing. After two years of using Taylor Made oversize burners and fairway rescue clubs I was expecting this club to be hard to master but not so. I took it to the range a few times before risking it on the course and was truly amazed at the distance this club can reach, 190 yards off the grass with no trouble and easy to keep straight. If I hit a poor drive or as a second shot on a par 5 this club fills a big hole in my bag... Read review

Advantages: Low price, powerful and nice design
Disadvantages: Not suitable for high handicaps due to small head size

...The Mizuno MP-001 series of fairway woods are available in a wide range of lofts, with a variety of shaft flexes. Due to being released a few years ago, they are now extremely good value and can be picked up for around £50/£70 (steel/graphite) new and prices are coming down all the time. They are very good looking with a sleek design and look good over the ball. With a simple arrow alignment aid and a compact head these are better suited for the better-player who can guarentee a good strike. Even so, they are very forgiving compared to other low-handicapper woods and hit the ball a long way. In my opinion they are just as good as any other club out and are un-matched for value. For any decent golfer these are a good adition to the golf bag, and the 7-wood in particular is a lovely golf club. If you like to shape the ball it is also easy... Read review
