Does Mizuno MX-1000 Irons Suit to You?

Each year consumers are inundated with new iron sets and it can get extremely confusing as to what set will work best for what type of golfer you are. Mizuno has taken a unique approach into the idea by having a larger amount of options to fit just about any player out there, but one type of golfer always seemed to be left out of the bunch in our opinion, from the Mizuno line of irons and that was the golfer looking for maximum forgiveness without sacrificing a lot of the feel and performance that Mizuno irons are synonymous with.



For starters, Mizuno is calling the MX-1000 irons the longest, straightest iron they've ever created. What makes the MX-1000 so much longer than previous irons? There are actually multiple design features contributing to such a claim. First, thanks to their Hot Metal Technology, Mizuno pushed COR to its legal limit.



MOI is optimized by the use of Hollow Technology, which allows the internal weighting to be pushed away from center, allowing the player to get away with less than perfect contact. The Hollow Technology also allows for the center of gravity to be pushed low and deep, making it easier to launch the ball high and straight. To help reduce excessive digging, and increase playability from all lies, a wide beveled sole design with a rolled leading edge and aggressively beveled trailing edge was used.



The Hot Metal construction of the MX-1000 is created by plasma welding a thin, hot, ES230 maraging steel face to a high tech stainless steel body. This exotic construction delivers COR numbers that reach the legal limit, which results in incredible distance for your iron shots. Moreover, Hollow Technology construction with internal extreme MOI weighting creates a super low and deep COG, which delivers an easy, high and straight ball flight.



Mizuno believes that you can with what they are billing as their "longest and straightest" iron to date. The feel is where the Mizuno irons shined in my hands as the clubs offer incredible feedback and perhaps unlike any other GI set I have previously tested in that regards. As is expected with most Mizuno irons, they offer an incredibly soft feel at impact and tremendous feedback on your missed shots.



If you look closely, you'll see that the grey channel in the cavity is textured with tiny Mizuno logos, and the rest of the cavity deviates from the normal blue/yellow combination in favor of black and grey. Regardless, I'm also a firm believer that the look of the cavity doesn't matter all that much, as you don't see it at address. While the topline of the Mizuno MX-1000 may be a little thicker than the rest of Mizuno's irons, it certainly doesn't look to be distractingly thick at all, and should set up quite nicely.



The ball flight is extremely high, but it was not one in which the ball falls out of the sky and loses distance because of it. The MX-1000 is available for both right and left handed players, and can be full customized by Mizuno's Custom Department.
