Mizuno MX-200 Irons + Mizuno Golf Gloves

 

 

The new Mizuno MX-200 combines the feel of a forged iron with technology designed to offer enhanced forgiveness. The deep cavity has a reinforcement pad (known as Y-Tune) which expands the sweetspot and helps provide an extra nine yards per club than previous MX models. The y-shaped pad is situated towards the toe the area where most amateur mis-hits are made. 

Features:

 

Y-Tune Technology: This is Mizuno's term for "If you mishit it on the toe, we're here to help." The sweet spot of the MX-200 is expanded out toward the toe. Not only does this work, but it works VERY well. I was borderline shocked. Toe hits hold their line remarkably well (I was also shocked on how many toe hits I had). These are a G.I. club, and if you pound the center of the clubface every time, you belong in the MP series.

 

Triple Cut Sole: This unique sole grind allows the MX-200 to perform well in all sorts of turf conditions. In the muddy Northeastern spring golf season, I was very happy with this feature. I'm pleasantly surprised with performance out of the rough as well. These just don't seem to turn over when they hit the long grass like other sets. Shots fly straighter and I've had to adjust my game accordingly, which is a good thing. The sand wedge (12* bounce) performs well out of the sand and can have some bite off of the fairway. I would not consider it very versatile though if you're looking to open it up. 

 

Milled Pocket: Due to the 'Extreme Milled Pocket Cavity" the long irons are simply the easiest long irons I've hit in my life. 7 rounds in, and I'm still 'wowed' by them. I'm absolutely sold on this type of cavity. More on this engineering marvel below.
