Mizuno Pro S-1 Irons: The Technology
While the Mizuno Pro S-1 honours Mizuno’s strong history when it comes to irons, it is by no means stuck in the past. In fact, this model debuts several refined technologies that elevate it beyond a standard muscle back.
Rather than a traditional solid muscle, the S-1 features a Channel Back geometry. This redistributes weight vertically for a more stable centre of gravity, enhancing launch consistency while maintaining workability. The feel is a slightly more solid, tour-preferred sensation., giving precise, confident feedback without compromising on Mizuno’s renowned softness.
There is also no shortage of innovation when it comes to the materials used. The S-1 irons are forged via Mizuno’s exclusive Grain Flow Forged HD method in Hiroshima, Japan. This is used to create a tighter grain structure using 1025E Pure Select Mild Carbon Steel, giving the S-1 its signature buttery feel. The addition of a copper underlay subtly enhances vibration dampening, fine-tuning the impact sensation to what Mizuno describes as the ultimate sensory connection.
Working hand in hand with the Channel Back, Mizuno’s Harmonic Impact Technology, H.I.T., adjusts vibration frequencies through the head for a more solid yet controlled feedback. It is also to help promote a more pleasing sound and feel at impact.
One of the most notable upgrades from previous Mizuno muscle backs is the sole geometry. Drawing direct input from tour professionals, the S-1 features a flatter camber for better turf interaction, a sharper leading edge for a cleaner entry into the ground, as well as increased bounce to reduce digging.

With the S-1 joining the Mizuno Pro family, it accompanies the already-popular S-3 irons which were released earlier in the year. Where the S-3 offers slightly more playability for a broader range of players, the S-1 stands as the purist’s choice, purpose-built for shotmakers who demand precision from every angle.
