Description With the MX-25TM iron, the Mizuno Product Development team took on the task of greatly improving upon the MX-23TM, Mizuno's #1 selling iron of all time. This feat was achieved by utilizing the new Grain Flow Forged® 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel and engineering a wide, deeper, and longer H.E.M.I COGTM Pocket Cavity for the lowest and deepest COG in a one piece forged iron. The MX-25TM iron delivers a massive sweet area along with the new three dimensional "X" Back cavity pad for maximum forgiveness on off-center hits and increased solid feel. No other iron can offer this game improvement technology while maintaining the solid, soft feel that comes only from a Mizuno Grain Flow Forged® Iron.
Summary: I have been playing golf most of my life and in the last 4 years I have been trying different sets of irons. I normally shoot in the upper 70's or lower 80's. I was playing with Taylormade r7 draw irons. They are a very good set of iron. They fly straight and far. But I decided that I wanted to try something different, so I bought a set of Callaway X-20's. I hit them ok but not as well as the r7's. The X-20's seemed to be 5 yard longer or shorter on well struck hits, never a consistant distance. So I sold the X-20's and went back to the r7's. Soon after that I found a set of Ping G15 on ebay for a good price. I was excited to hit them because I had heard alot of good things about them. They hit very good but it seemed like I had a 20 gap in between the 9 iron and PW. So I went back to the r7's and sold the G15's. I decided to try something different and went with the Adams V3 hybrid set. When I first started playing these I hit them straight and long. They are also very forgiving. But soon after I noticed that I would chuck the short irons trying to get some back spin. The larger sole felt like a bulldozer when I tryed to hit down on the ball and take a divot. So once again I went back to the r7's. I played the r7's for the rest of the season and into the next when I got that wild hair again. So I figured since I hit the r7's pretty good I would try another set of Taylormades. I bought the Taylormade Burner XD's. Took them out to the course and hit a fade on every shot with every iron. I normally hit a straight ball and this wouldn't be acceptable. They didn't last long in my bag. I then swore to myself that I would never get another set of irons again. So the following season I bought another set. Go figure. I decided to try a set of Mizuno's. I did my research and found that the MX-23's had awesome reviews. Then I saw the reviews on the similar MX-25's. They seem to be almost the same except that the MX-25's are made with softer metal for better feel. I decided to try the MX-25's. I bought a set from Callaway Preowned. The same day that they came in I took them to the driving range. I bought a bucket of balls and set up for my first swing. "CHUNK" Not again, I said to myself. Well I set up to another ball and "WOW" it flew high, long and straight. I continued to hit each club that same way. I was impressed. After finishing the bucket I decided to try them on the course. I had more of the same results. My first round with the MX-25's I shot an even par 72. The following day more of the same, 73. I have been playing the MX-25's for 3 months and I play almost everyday. I have not shot over 76. The only issue I have while playing these is....what to do with my r7's.

Summary: I bought a set of MX-25 irons recently and am kicking myself for not making the investment earlier. The feeling of a well struck shot is absolutely pure. The distances of each club are predictable and repeatable. The 3i plays so well off the fairway I've parked my 5w. Excellent in every respect.

Summary: I picked up a set of MX25s about 3 years ago, having played MX17s (Mizuno's GI irons at the time) before that. Very briefly between 17 and 25, I had a shocking Ping G2 experience - I don't know why anyone would choose to play cast when you can play a forge as forgiving as MX25. These clubs will take you from 20 to 7, before they need to be changed - I am living proof. You will pick up a set of MX25 for around £200. If you are playing GI (game improvement) irons at the moment, striking it crisp but can't stop the ball on the green from inside 150 yards, look no farther and find a willing seller, these will change your life, and the enjoyment of your hobbey.
Customer Service: No need to use it, I've been delighted since day dot!
Summary: I've recently switched to the Mizuno MX25 irons. I usually shoot somewhere in the mid 90's, but since I've switched I haven't shot a round above 85 the last five rounds I've played. These are the most firm and forgiving irons I have ever hit. The best thing about is that I got them in my local proshop for $150. I would have gladly payed as much as $400.

Summary: Bought a set used on EBay, Dynalite SL Reg flex. What a nice set of hitting irons. I was a single digit handicap player until age and illness caught up to me. I have tried 5 different sets, some with graphite and some steel. These are far and away the nicest hitting irons I have tried since my old days of playing Wilson Staff blades. I still get good distance for a senior, with a smooth tempo the 7-iron maybe 150, and that's not over swinging. Between and carbon forged steel head, and R-Flex Dynalite you get great feel and ball flight. I tried a MP T wedges, they are great on full shots, but on finese, I prefer the more forgiving wedges.
