I got lucky with these having picked them up for a song second-hand. They're a little war-weary, they've been knocked about a bit but they're still gorgeous irons. Designed with the better player in mind but in a wierd way they're game-improver irons. Huh? Bear with me, these irons don't offer much in the way of forgiveness they force you to improve your game to use them therefore they're for the game-improver!

Yes, you have to put a good swing on the ball to get a result and I personnally don't use the long irons except off a tee peg but when you pure hit the short irons you are rewarded with towering shots that drop into the green like a bird of prey homing in on the flag. That's something you don't see very often (a bird of prey eating golf flags) but you get the picture, don't you?

The makers' specs of these irons no longer seem to be on the web as Mizuno have a sucessor to the original Pro irons imaginatively called the Pro II. What I can say is about these is that they are forged cavity muscle-backed irons for the better player (so what are you doing with them Sid?). If you want easy to hit irons with maximum forgiveness, these are they, if you want an iron that rewards a good swing with a true shot these are the ones!

Summary

Great irons for the better player but a high handicapper such as my good self can learn to live with the mid to short irons so give 'em a try but don't put no money down until you've hit some shots with them!!! Also bear in mind that Mizuno have a variety of iron designs that offer more forgiveness as well as blade designs that are for the scratch players of the world.

SID Rating : **** 4/5! Good, maybe too good for me!
