Summary:
I simply cannot mis-hit this club full stop.

Bold Statement to make I know but heres the run down im a 6 handicapper.

I own these clubs so Ive put them through their paces, the final test came today in the pouring rain and mud and they performed excellently especially with dual compound grips added.

So overall, they are a very nice club to look at, you just want to run your fingers over them, I play these clubs with a very slight fade, onlookers swear im just dead straight may just be my perspective, however on the workability factor they are much easier to force a draw than to add to the fade. They feel great to swing and the sound they make is a confidence inspiring loud click, purely cosmetic but seems to add to conversation when you hit a beauty.

It cuts through crud exceptionally well i must say, and opening the face does not feel like youre fighting the club like some other game improvers. In fact I wouldnt say these were a game improver I would say they are a better players iron that everyone can benefit from. These would be equally at home in the hands of a scratch player as with 20 handicapper ,they have no offset which is great as I cant stand clubs with offset.

Workability is brilliant, distance gapping is spot on.

Everybody loves talking about sweetspots well i smashed 200 balls today trying to force some horrible shots just so I could make this statement. I rotated between 6 iron and a pitcher hitting bad shots at random from the very toe to trying to shank to steep swings to flat swings and it was only on the very extremes that I managed to fluff a shot that didnt go forward or hooked or sliced beyond what i would judge as a fairways width and all the while that great sound was there.

A very polished excellent forged mid priced club with no faults which I swear will dominate and win every review from here on in. I bet this club will gracing many a tour bag.

In a nutshell its a blade no... its better than a blade at last an end to the chunky offset game improving axe heads this is a whole new class. Everyone go buy one.

Mizuno MX 300 irons

Summary:
I have been playing traditional blades for the past 10 years. Age is creeping in and practice time is getting harder to find. Plus the cold weather is settling in. In an effort to find a club that would allow me to stay with the forged compact head style but still have some new technology with some game improvement qualities I spied the MX300's at my CC. Took them out immediately and played a quick 9 leaving the woods in the bag the whole time. Nothing but irons. Cut the 4 iron off the tee but not too bad of a mis-hit. Next 6 iron then Gap fell beautifully on the green. The feel is solid and in cold weather not biting or stinging. More distance is evident and the more pure the strike the more you get. Although mis-hits dont leave you in bad shape. The ball stayed in front of me all day. Trying to get used to the slightly stronger lofts and once I get the distances down my rounds and club selection should be easier. I am very happy that I got these and cant wait to start getting to work them with draws and fades etc. These definitely will help me keep my hdcp going in the right direction. This is my 3rd set of Mizuno irons. MP 67 and 57's. These seem to be the ticket.

Summary:
My country club just got a demo set of these in the pro shop. The pro likes me so he let me take 'em out for 18 holes. I'm one of the best ballstrikers you'll find so pay attention. I was throwing darts at the flag all day long. I normally throw darts but this was like bullseye all the time. Irons have a fine trajectory with tons of distance. They felt forged and solid but they didn't feel like the MP-32 or MP-67. Not worse, but not the same. I must say I like chipping with a blade better than these but it's hard to argue with the performance from 120 yards and further. I'm going to keep them in the bag until the pro asks for them back. Not my problem if he can't remember. Besides, I like them.

Customer Service:
I don't know Japanese so I don't think I should call them.

I'm a scratch so I usually get hooked up by the tour vans. They want their products in my hands for good advertising. If you know what I mean.

mizuno mx 300 irons

Summary:
a quick review since no one has posted one yet. have only played these irons for 2 rounds, but liked them from the first shot. i've been playing mp-32s for five years. i've purchased and tried taylormade tour preferred and ping i10 irons since then. the ping i10s i was over immediately... although i still played them 3 or 4 rounds to be certain. the taylor tps i kinda liked, but they just didn't have that good mizuno feel. i got rid of them both and went back to my mp-32s. but, at 49 i know i shouldn't be hitting a more forgiving club. the mp-52s look like the ticket but i decided to go all the way with it and get thew new mx-300s. early impressions...

the 8 iron was the first club i went to hit and it looked slightly big to me. turns out it has the biggest look of all the irons. the others look pretty nice. i started hitting the 8 and noticed the solid feel, the forgiveness, and the extra distance over my mp-32s. i could still work the ball high, low, left to right, right to left... just that the ball went a club further and the miss-hits felt better and went better.

on the course i had no problem backing up my irons on the greens like normal. the new grooves didn't seem to be the issue they try to make out of them.

i like 'em, i'm definitely staying with them for the time being.

just a quick review so that there is at least one review up here. :)
