Summary: I own a Ben Hogan CFT 23*(4 graphite) and a Nickent 20* (X100) as well as the CLK FLI-HI.
The CLK FLI-HI is OK but I like both the Nickent and Ben Hogan better.
The CLK is offset so alignment is a little tricky. My mis-hits usually end up drawing with a low ball flight. Not that I don't mis-hit the other two, I just think they are better offerings.
Also, for a hybrid I really like the Nickent because the swing weight is heavier so I feel a lot more clubhead awareness. If hybrids are supposed to be 50% wood and 50% iron, CLK's are 80 wood/20 iron.
I got this for 32 dollars after shipping brand new so you really can't beat the value and it came with my preferred shaft.
It's a good club, but there are certainly better.

Summary: THE ONLY HYBRID That I can hit with a slight draw. Don't believe the hype that ANYONE can hit a hybrid with ease. This takes a certain amount of practice and knowledge.

Summary: Only have about 4 rounds on this club, but intentionally tried to hit it a number of times. Easy to hit and flies straight. Bought this to replace my 3 iron. Not sure about distances yet, but did stick it to 10ft from 200 out. Straight as a arrow and landed soft. Think its a beautiful club that feels great swinging.

Summary: These are nice. The shorter shafts make it easier to get in the fairway, but I find I'm not losing any distance. I hit the 4 Wd (17) as far as I hit my Taylor Made 200 3 wood. I hit the 20 degree as far as I hit my 18 degree 5 Wd. So more control and same distance.
The club is very forgiving as well. I've had plenty of miss hits which wind up in the fairway, so that helps.
I don't know about the composite aspect of the club, but so far it seems to be working. I just wonder how long it will hold up.
I think they Hybrids are not only easier to hit than your long irons, but easier to hit than your Fairway Woods as well.
Mizuno is great at making golf products. If they paid people the same amount that Nike plays their playeres, more people would choose Mizuno over Nike.

Model Reviewed: Mizuno CLK FLI-HI 17* Utility Wood
Summary: I have the MX-23's (3i-PW) in Nippon 950 stiffs & love them. These clubs are everything everyone raves about and then some, so I won't elaborate further on their performance.
What I really want to plug, are the 2 Black Nickel MP T wedges (53/08 & 60/05) & the FLHI-HI CLK 17*.
Why this company doesn't get the same ink on its wedge line that it gets on its irons is beyond me. helllloooo....Quality forgings are quality forgings. Wedges are your scoring clubs & how they feel is equal to, if not more important than how your long irons feel. Never have I felt a wedge that is this soft & offers this much control. If you're considering a wedge purchase, look into the Mizzies.
Now, the CLK 17* that I have in the stock Exsar stiff is debatable. It does not have a "hot" face like so many hybrids do; in fact, it has a rather hard, muted feel. However, I like this sensation. If you were once a baseball player who used a wooden bat, I think you'd really dig this club. It's got a beautiful crack! sound to it when struck well, and just because it lacks in "hotness", it does offer feedback. Perhaps the muted feel is because of the graphite shaft & the graphite crown...I don't know...but I'm tellin' ya...this club is a bullet! The trajectory is piercing - not high w/ a buttload of backspin, and it plays beautifully out of rough, fw bunkers, greenside chips, short-of-green bump-n'-runs - you name it. Again, if you're looking for a very diverse, easy to hit, unique utility club, give it a try.
That's all....Just wanted to give a company who is known for their first-rate forgings their due. They are outmarketed, and consequently, grossly overlooked for all their other fine offerings.
