Mizuno

Why we like it

The traditional blade appearance of the Mizuno Pro 245 says, “Be afraid. Be very afraid.” The performance, however, says otherwise. This hollow-body iron is grain-flow forged from 4135 chromoly steel for the face and neck all the way to the 8-iron. Internal tungsten weighting in the irons up to the 7-iron is 46.4 grams as opposed to 30 grams in its predecessor. A new method of laser welding suspends the tungsten in the head so that it doesn’t touch the sole, allowing the face to flex better and boost ball speed.

• The use of more internal tungsten weighting increases forgiveness and helps golfers launch the ball higher.
• New Pro Fli-Hi offers a viable alternative to long irons.
• 7-iron: 30 degrees; PW: 43 degrees
