Mizuno

Why we like it

Of all the irons in the Mizuno Pro line, the 243 offers the most dramatic change from the previous version. Mizuno’s engineers set out to make the club smaller to appeal to better players yet still add speed. Designing such an iron meant thinning the face, as thin as 2.1 millimetres on the long irons, with those irons having a “microslot” that is wider and deeper than the one used on the 6 and 7-irons to produce the desired distance boost.

• Grain-flow forged from 4120 chromoly steel.
• A wrap-around sole grind improves turf interaction.
• Strengthened lofts on wedges provide consistent loft gaps.
• 7-iron: 32 degrees; PW: 44 degrees
