Mizuno MX Irons-Review

In this article I look at the Mizuno MX irons having already looked at the Mizuno MP 58 and MP 68 in another post. The range of Mizuno irons is well capable of catering for golfers of all handicaps and abilities, amateur and professional alike.


The enduring quality, precision engineering and huge resources and tradition that goes into the development of Mizuno golf irons means that there is a set of these quality irons that are just perfect for you.

MX 300

The first thing to say about these irons is that the suit a low to mid handicapper. They have an undercut cavity design and the top line, sole width and face size falling between the MP 52 and MX 200.

They also utilize a Y-Tune Pro technology developed by Mizuno for improved feel and flight control.

There is a difference between the 3 iron to 7 iron and the 8 iron to pitching wedge; the former has the weight distributed low and deep to ensure a high penetrating launch while the latter have a solid power bar design for greater workability with less need for distance or high penetrating launches.

These clubs attempt to compromise between the feel of a Mizuno MP iron and the playability of a cavity iron. They range from 3 iron, 20 degrees of loft, up to pitching wedge with the usual 45 degrees of loft.

Standard shafts are the Exsar graphite and the Dynalite Gold steel shaft in regular or stiff. The finish is a satin double nickel chrome and the heads are forged from a single 1025E Pure Select mild carbon steel which is fantastic for feel.

Mizuno MX 1000 Irons

These irons employ a high moment of interia hollow construction which creates a high ball flight. There very playable clubs which are suitable for mid to high handicappers and which have a thin steel face for extreme distance, two tone double nickel chrome finish and optimized internal weighting.

The standard shafts are the Exsar graphite or the GS-95 regular or stiff steel shaft.

The set runs from 4 iron to Sand Wedge (including a Gap Wedge and Pitching wedge) with the sand wedge loft at 55 degrees and the 4 iron at 22 degrees of loft.

These are really beautiful clubs which really allow even a high handicapper to launch the ball off the clubface with some serious speed thanks to the hot. Thin ES 230 maraging steel and the internal Y tune weighting which spreads the sweet spot right into the toe which is where a lot of high handicappers will have mishits.

The lead and trailing edges are bevelled which has the effect of narrowing the big soleplate and allows a good, clean ball/turf strike.

Like all Mizuno golf irons they are in conformity with the 2010 Condition of Competition rule.
