Mizuno MX-300 Irons Looks and Features
The
Mizuno MX-300 Irons is another strong Mizuno design. It has a small cavity back adorned with simple black and silver graphics and looks neat and classy. The topline is pretty thin but there’s a bit of width there to stop your teeth chattering as you address it. It looks like just what it is, an iron that isn’t quite a blade or muscleback nor a chunky game improvement iron.
The lofts are strong for distance junkies but the head contains Mizuno’s Y-Tune technology that helps lessen the drop off in performance from toe end hits. You can see from the picture how that Y shaped bar runs across the back of the club and separates into the arms of the Y toward the toe. All very discreetly of course, this is Mizuno we are talking about.
Over the last couple of years they have been releasing new models at a bewildering pace and golfers have never had such a wide range to choose from. As a basic rule of thumb, Mizuno entitles their classically designed mid to low-handicap clubs the MP irons and the MX series for mid to high handicappers.But what about the
MX-300 Irons? Although an “MX,” they’re not for the weekend or casual players; you need to be a decent ball-striker to get the best out of them as they aren’t hugely forgiving. Single digit guys and girls may give them a whirl but are more likely to choose an MP iron for the added workability.So although the Mizuno MX-300 could be in danger of having an identity crisis, Mizuno is confident that they fill a niche that lies between the shadowy boundaries of low and mid handicaps
Now I fit right in when it comes to the type of player that Mizuno are aiming theMizuno MX-300 s at. Blades are a slightly distant dream but I want a little more finesse than a wide soled game improver. These look just the ticket. They have a slim top line, beautifully proportioned head size and a drop dead gorgeous chrome finish.
It’s there. No doubt about it, it’s there. That wonderful buttery soft Mizuno feel makes the MX-300s a pleasure to hit. It just leaps out at you as soon you make contact. Pure silk forged heaven in a crystal glass, served by your favorite barkeep. I could go on for hours about the feel…I really could but I guess you want to know a bit more than that so let’s move on. If you haven’t got the message by now you never will.
