Mizuno

Why we like it

If you’re a player seeking raw distance, you might be drawn to an iron named Hot Metal. The achievement in this club is that it’s able to bring high ball speeds through metallurgy. Mizuno used nickel chromoly 4335 – a strong steel alloy used in military aircraft – to create the thinnest face of any Mizuno iron ever. Of course, a hotter face brings a powerful sound. In this case, Mizuno was able to neatly walk the line of producing audio that was pleasing and have others in your foursome take notice.

• A 360 cupface provides maximum rebound.
• The design is based on more than 175,000 fitting sessions.
• A thicker face on the 8-iron eases transition to short irons.
• 7-iron: 28.5 degrees; PW: 42.5 degrees
