Mizuno MX-950 Irons Feature Forged Hybrid Designs

Mizuno MX-950 Irons

June 2, 2008

I used to think that Mizuno clubs were just for “players,” probably because the guys who played them seemed to regularly kick my butt. Even so, when I went to try a Mizuno driver at a local demo day, I also spent some time with their irons.

As it turns out, there IS a Mizuno Iron for the rest of us. It’s the MX-950, a hybrid design set that features Mizuno’s grain flow forgings. The three and four irons are pure hybrids with tungsten weighting. The five, six and seven are hybrid irons, with hollow core forged steel. Meanwhile, the eight through LW are forged steel cavity backs, with wide soles. The entire set is designed to transition seamlessly from club to club.

I hit these and was really excited about the results. They were easily the most consistent set I’ve played, in terms of hitting good shot after good shot after good shot. I’d be really interested in seeing how these play out for me over the course of a round.

If I ever had the money to get a new set of irons, these would be a top choice.
