Mizuno MX-15 Irons

Mizuno MX-15 Irons 

DESCRIPTION

The new MX-15TM gives every golfer the chance to experience the benefits of dual T-Zoid® Power BarTM technology. The MX-15TM is a stainless steel game improvement iron with intricate perimeter weighting creating a low, deep center of gravity for exceptional forgiveness and ideal trajectory. The Dual T-Zoid® Power BarTM moves the center of gravity away from the face on longer irons (3-7) to help elevate the ball, while the solid T-Zoid® Power BarTM on the shorter irons (8-PW) provides more feel and workability for pinpoint accuracy with the scoring irons

These are wonderful irons. I was using a set of Ping Zing irons that I loved dearly, but at some point, the generous offset on them at address started to bother me. So, I began my quest for irons with slightly less offset. B/C I got them for such a good deal ($299 new on eBay), I decided to try the MX-15's and have been very happy with my decision. I gained about 5-8 yds with these, and can hit them straight and high. Workability is great, however, I started off losing balls a bit right b/c of the less-offset. It took just a few rounds to adjust and they soon felt like old friends. They're more weighty (which I like) than my old Zings, and they hit extremely soft for cast clubs. Forgiving, but enough feedback to let you know where the ball contacted the club w/o you even looking at the ball mark. All this in a beautifully finished iron with clean lines. Word of warning, I've been told that the MX-15's with the Dynalite Gold shafts hit the ball VERY high. Mine are shafted with the TT-Lite shafts and the ball flight is wonderful.

Superb clubs, great build quality, easy to use and forgiving miss hits. Only just started playing recently and these clubs seem to get the ball air bourne and straight.

After playing the same old set of Ram FX2 Forged Irons since high school (Now I am 24), I decided to try a few new sets of Irons. I have to say, that I am very happy with choosing the mx-15s for a few reasons, the first of course being the fact that they instantly shaved 5-10 strokes off my game. How did this magic occur? Overall the set was easier to swing, moving from a d-5 swingweight to a d-1. Long Irons are easy to hit, and I find myself having an easier time sweeping the ball from the fairway than I have had in the past. Playing long Irons out of the rough isn't too difficult with these clubs as the T-Zoid bar seems to get the ball up right away - and I have yet to see a flier after 5 rounds playing with the new set. Mid Irons feel like butter, Short Irons I am still struglling with as I keep leaving them right (I may have them bent 1 or 2 degrees upright 8-pw, as I am tall and not japanese) but after making some adjustments they are pretty accurate. I am still having a problem with the touch on the pw, but that is to be expected with almost any equipment change. Overall i see these Irons as an incredible bargain, especially since most retailers are looking to get rid of them cheap now that Mizuno isn't making them anymore. Suggestion: Hit the DG and TT lite Shafts Note the trajectory. These Irons Hit the ball so high, its as if the ball was dropped from space, Therefore going with a low trajectory or mid trajectory shaft may be a smart decision. I have no problems getting the ball up with the TT Lite Shafts and Dont lose the distance I was losing with the DGs Paid $229 Brand New

I was in the market for better clubs as my play was improving and I needed something more consistent and precise. As a new player of a year, I’m told my form and swing speed are very good (likely due to a tennis background). But I certainly can’t work the ball or square the club at every impact. So skulls and fat shots still happen too much. If this is you, hope this helps. I ended up buying a good condition floor set of Zuno MX-15s with True Temper S300 stiff steel shafts for $325 CAD (price before our stupid 14.5% tax) at Golf Town (GT), Richmond BC. I had no choice as the whole of BC was sold out of brand new steel, which went at the same $325. I tried them before with Cleveland’s TA-6, Cobra’s SS-i, Callaway’s X-14, TaylorMade’s CGB & RAC OS, and Nike’s Slingshots & Pro Combos. Just in terms of feel, consistency and looks, it was down to the TA-6s, Zunos and Pro Combos (to my delighted surprise). However, with the price factored in, it was a no brainer that the Zunos won out (not least cause my wife plays Zunos and she wanted me to have the same thing…& she was paying). I was literally off to play when I stopped by the store to kill time. So the first time I used the set was actually on the course, and they performed very well. Obviously, it took a while to figure distance and muscle feel. Once adjusted, there was instant gain in distance, accuracy and ball height. I often played one club shorter - and for certain holes were I would tee up a long iron, I play shorter and still sail the ball long. Short irons took more getting use to for me, but when struck well, worked great. My old set was a mixed bag of steel Blue Ridge Wilsons and Adila graphite Dunlop FS Visions. So not sure the comparison is useful. Even then, the steel Zunos were hitting longer than the graphite Dunlops…so that can’t be bad. Only the PW and 9-i were not greatly superior due to a muted feel. But with practice, it will stick it close once you get use to the response. The quality is first rate and the clubs sturdy. Time will tell of course. They ship with Golf Pride Tour Velvet 58, which is a bit on the tacky side for me. I prefer some hand alignment markings on the grip, which is non-existent. The only marking is a vertical “Mizuno”. Clearly this is subjective, but I think overall the TA-6s and MX-15s are worthy picks. For me, the TA-6s actually played a bit more consistent and sounded more definitive on good impact (it is newer tech). But it’s almost twice the price. At address both clubs have similar toplines with the Zunos being a bit sleeker and the TA-6 more minimalist (for all you interior designers) overall. Both are pretty anyway, although some reviews advise MX-15 buyers to check out the long irons, as it’s possible to see a bit of the sole at address. Didn’t bother me. I know these clubs are discontinued so there are deals. I’ve tracked them on eBay and no one has beaten $325 CAD. To all US friends, even with the slightly worse exchange rate now, this is still a steal. $325 is good for entry level stuff only usually. Final note, my GT sales guy during purchase was bad. Didn’t feel like he wanted to help. To be fair, it was my worst experience yet. Obviously, he knew the thing would sell and he was right. Still, he lacked service and initiative and I felt there was room for him to offer a bit extra (e.g. club cleaning which is fair for floor model sales). He could have made a lifetime customer out of me. Too bad. Fortunately, even without his help, I knew these were good. So I’m glad I got them.

After playing with my OLD Wilson 1200 GE's I decided it might be time for an upgrade. I think I hit every type of club available at the range. I really had my heart set on the new Deep Red II irons, but after hitting the MX-15's I fell in love with them. I haven't hit a 3 or 4 iron solid for about 5 years after one round with the MX-15's I was throwing the ball at the pin. My favorite part of these clubs is the consistent ball striking with the shorter irons. I played a quick 9 the day after I bought these, and landed 4 PW shots within 2 feet of the flag. (What i didn't say is I did not make one of the putts) All in all probably the greatest club I have picked up in years. The money Mizuno does not spend on the big marketing schemes is turned around and placed in the quality of these clubs. Keep up the good work Mizuno.

Ive been playing golf for about 6 months and i had a crappy set of clubs. Well i bought the mizuno mx15 and i love them. It is a very forgiving club and they feel great. So as my first real set of clubs i love them very much. They shaved about 10 strokes of my game.

If anyone thinks that this is amazing feeling wonderful irons, then you should try MX 20's. With MX 27 comming out, they are in same price range as MX 15's. They are same irons, except that MX 20's are forged. The ball feels like it stuck on the blade a second longer than 15's. Vote for MX 15's in that they do not need to be babied. The cast heads are stronger and less rust prone, but sacrifices the feeling of forged (even on short irons). If you can deal with hassle of head covers and cleaning after your irons, then stick with MX 20's. If you tend to throw your irons around, then definitely MX 15's. Either way, these are good sets of irons and you can't go wrong.

I had previously owned two cheap sets and a set of cobras and this is by far my favorite...I tried every set of semi- & pro clubs and went for these regardless of price. You hit it well and it will go where you want. You mess up and its forgiving. I will keep these for a long time
