What I look for in players’ irons is a good launch angle, effective spin number and a ball speed that isn’t too hot. All of which I experienced in these Mizuno irons and on a consistent basis.

Best Feel

Mizuno S-1 Iron

National Club Golfer and National Club Golfer magazine

The Mizuno S-1 irons make an immediate statement. Straight out of the box and onto the mat, these blades demand attention. With a thin top line, minimal offset, and that classic Mizuno satin finish, they scream players iron. The S-1 oozed pedigree before I even hit the ball.

The S-1 irons did not disappoint during testing. With the nine iron, I was able to carry the ball 140 yards with 9000 rpm of spin, exactly the kind of control and precision expected of a players iron. The seven iron followed suit, delivering 164 yards of carry with 7000 rpm of spin. What impressed me though most was the consistency I was able to unlock. There were no ‘jumpers’ or unexpected hot shots, every strike travelled the expected distance, which is crucial for elite players who rely on tight dispersion.

Overall, I certainly believe the Mizuno S-1 is a return to form for the brand. It’s a proper blade. Clean, crisp, honest, and beautiful. It rewards great ball striking with unmatched feedback and punishes mishits. For the low-handicapper who lives for feel, consistency, and precision, it may be the perfect iron.

Mizuno has taken its time with this one, and it shows. They are definitely contenders to be put in my bag for this season.

PROS

Stunning classic looks
Unmatched feel and sound through impact
Consistent launch and spin
Excellent turf interaction and feedback

CONS

Can look slightly intimidating for higher handicap golfers

Easiest to Hit

Mizuno JPX925 Hot Metal Irons

The feel of these irons stood out to me initially. Although, they seem to fly nicely off the club face, every clean contact felt soft and controllable. This is thanks to Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Technology, which gives the ideal feedback you want consistently from your golf shots.

I was also struck by the consistent ball flight and distance control I was able to execute through most of the set. Each iron felt as though they were perfectly dialled to a set yardage, like a moth to a flame.

Overall, these irons were a joy to test. They offered plenty of performance gain, and the forgiveness that can be accessed from the longer irons is a real plus for less established golfers, like myself. Having a set of irons that you can rely on for control over a ball flight is great for golfers like me who struggle to hit a consistent one.

PROS

Consistent throughout the set
Easy to hit
Great turf interaction
Plenty of distance and forgiveness

CONS

None
