My first set of forged clubs. They look great when addressing the ball. I have played about 20 rounds with these clubs. It took some getting used to and I think I have finally have them 'dialled' in. Great feedback from the clubs. You know when you've haven't hit them off the centre. When you do hit them just right there is no better feeling as it's crisp and flies off the face smoothly. In terms of distance I have seen a 5 to 10 yrd improvement. I am more pleased with the consistency these clubs have provided me. I am from Australia and the cheapest I could get them was $1590(@$1300 US). I have checked them out in the US and in US dollar terms they are great value!

I've never had an official handicap, but I typically shoot in the mid to high 80's. I bought these irons as a gift to myself last summer - I had been playing Top Flite Tours for about 8 years. What an unbelievable difference. I had never played a forged club, and am not a good enough player to play blades. These clubs are fantastic - when you hit it sweet, there is no better feeling. I gained at least 15 yards with these clubs - I now hit a 7 iron about 190. I'm still getting used to them, but I just got off a relatively easy course firing a 76. These clubs are not going to leave my bag for years.

I won a set of Callaway X-18s at a tournament and viewed it as a great opportunity to trade up on my King Cobra Oversize irons from 1994 (great clubs). My initial bias was to give the Callaways a shot, so I tried out the X-18s and the X-18 Pro Series. Both felt solid, but I couldn't get over the clunky look (very thick top line and not very traditional). I tried a bunch of clubs: Titleist 804, Taylor Made RAC OS2, Cleveland TA7, and the Ping G2. The Mizuno MX-23's came out of the blue, as I had never considered them and only came across them when researching other products. My inclination was that I would like the Titleists better because I have liked their products in the past. When I hit the Mizuno's side by side, however, there was absolutely no comparison. The Mizuno's felt crisper and were easily more forgiving on mis-hits. They're also extremely long and feel like butter on pure shots. I would highly recommend getting fitted for the clubs. They are .25 inches shorter per club than my old Cobras and the lie angles are dramatically different than some other clubs (e.g., as much as 2 degrees per club relative to the Callaways). The Dynalite Gold S-300 shaft is a bit heavier than I am used to, but has performed well so far. My swing speed is on the borderline between stiff and regular, but I opted for stiff and haven't been disappointed so far. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this surprising club.

So far so good. They were great on providing advice regarding shaft selection, etc.

I bought these clubs last weekend and am very impressed. My old irons (Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scot's with graphite r shaft) served me well but I am now going to retire them after 1 week of hitting the mx-23's. Off the bat I gained both distance (at least 5-10 yards) and accuracy. There is definite feel difference with these clubs for the good shots and the bad ones too. So far they're easy to 'adjust' to and making an immediate positive impact on my game.

During recent months, prior to golf season, I recently found myself on the eternal, never-ending search for the Holy Grail of golf irons. For a number of years I had played with a set of Tommy Armour 845's w/ Dynamic Gold Stiff Steel Shafts. I've had my set of 845's for a long time, but they showed signs of wear for the 10 years I've used them. So, I decided to retire my old set of irons and purchase a new set. I also made the decision to upgrade to graphite. Of the dozen different clubs I've tried I would have to say the MX-23's offer the BEST combination of feel, forgiveness and overall distance/trajectory over every other club on the current market. These were the 3 characteristics I chose to use in evaluating in each of the prospective clubs. As far as the matter of feel is concerned, the MX-23 does not have as soft of a feel as its cousin the MP-32-my second choice behind the mx-23. There was a distinct, pleasant "pop" every time I struck the ball. However, the immediate distinction that set the MX-23 apart was its ability to get instant feedback as the quality of shot one would hit. From very moment I took the club back to the time I made my downswing, I immediately knew exactly where the club was, a characteristic that set the club apart from the Callaway Fusion, every Ping iron on the market and The Cleveland TA-6. Next is the issue of forgiveness. I decided to go with a “forgiving” forged club because I like the feel of forged irons, but I, like most of the players out there make bad shots. I wanted something a little more forgiving than a traditional blade. After trying out several models out, I had narrowed my search down to the Callaway Fusion, Mizuno MP-32, Cleveland TA-6, and the MX-23. I really liked the overall feel of the 32’s, TA-6 and the 23’s, but I found the Fusions to feel a little hard. However, I thought I’d give the Fusion irons a chance because of their unique and innovative design. Of all of the clubs I tried out I found the MX-23 to be the MOST forgiving and best feeling club out of the group. The Cleveland TA-6 was a close second, but it seemed the MX-23’s off center shots and mis-hits seemed to fly farther and stay more online that all of the other models. It had also a good deal of workability that I liked as well. Although the feel of MP-32’s were awesome, I did find them a little less forgiving than the 23’s. In addition, I found the Fusion irons to be the least forgiving out of the group. Finally, the comparison between distance and traj. I spoke a guy at the local pro shop and he told me that the longest iron on the market were the Fusions, a Titleist and a Yonex model. After going to range with my final four selections I found the MX-23’s to be a least 2-3 yards longer than the Fusions. The other irons were not as long either. The 23’s had a nice mid ball flight with its short irons and a slightly higher ball flight in its long to mid irons. The MP-32’s had, I thought, a similar flight pattern and were surprisingly long for a blade. The TA-6 was also long, but not as long at the 23’s. In conclusion, I found the 23’s to be the best combination of the aforementioned criteria of all of the irons I test. I purchased a set of these irons recently and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them. Aesthetically, they’re beautiful and technically they’re about as solid of an iron on the market. I would highly recommend this iron for any low-mid handicap golfer. Disclaimer: I don’t work for Mizuno. I just found their irons to be superior in quality.

I purchased these clubs after a succesful run with the MX15 which were great for a high handicapper. I thought I was ready to move to this higher spec'd forged model but I clearly was not. While I do agree you get good feedback on the quality of shots, the problem I had was making good shots. I belive these clubs are for the better player, 12 Hcap or better. I moved to the Callaway X18 and have had much better results. Wish I kept my MX15s though.

The MX15 are much better for the mid to high handicapper.

Bought these beautiful sticks a couple of weeks ago and had my first round with them last weekend - a 78 which is my lowest score yet. I don't know why but these clubs seem much more accurate than my previous TM 200's, most of my iron shots went straight at the pin which suprised me as I thought they would take some getting used to. The quality is fantastic too, you get the feeling that you are using a club that has been well made and well designed. The clubs look and feel fantastic, when one comes out the middle of the club, you can hardly feel it. The longer irons are just the easiest I have ever hit, even the 3 iron looks great at address and this inspires me with confidence. Well, lets hope that 78 wasn't a flash in the pan and that they continue to do the business - they've already earned me a 4 shot cut for that?

Brilliant. The most forgiving irons on the market, they have taken five shots off my score within two weeks of buying them. I'm a 16 handicap and very nearly shooting in the 70's - can't wait for the summer so I can see what these clubs can relly do.

I have been waiting for a deal to get into these babies, foung a set on Ebay, 3-PW with Exsar R flex graphite in 8.7 shape for $33o... a steal. These sticks are the best I have ever played, and I have tried over 50 different irons sets in the last 2 years. The feel of these irons is incredible. They are not a total gimmie to hit but very forgiving for the reasonably decent ball striker. Once I got used to the offset, these irons were the most accurate I have hit. I am usually a steel shaft player, but these R flex graphite shafts sure feel like S flex to me... at least a very solid firm. They ding easy, very easy, but big deal, they are meant to be played, and the way they hit, U will want to play very often. A great big move up, serious irons, but a whole lot of fun as well! I am VERY impressed. years
