New Mizuno Pro irons: What’s New
Mizuno have announced the successor to the popular Pro 22 series by introducing the new Pro 241, Pro 243, Pro 245, and Pro Fly Hi irons.
The series includes a muscle back blade, a tour cavity back, and a hollow body construction head that is featured in the Pro 22 series, but the new irons have some changes in aesthetics and technology that have made the irons even more desirable.
Mizuno say that because of their long relationship with the grain flow forging plant in Hiroshima, Japan, they are able to challenge the boundaries when designing and putting together a forged head. But what is different? Let’s have a look at the different models.
Mizuno Pro 241 irons
Historically, Mizuno have made some of the best blade irons of all time, and given the heads are small, it can be hard to make any groundbreaking technology changes. This year, however, Mizuno have built on what was already an excellent head in the Pro 221 and have made some serious developments.
The Pro 241 is once again made from forged one-piece 1025E steel, but this time, the head has been designed with more centred mass for a better feel and enhanced feedback. It has a new sole design for better turf interaction. Like all Mizuno Pro iron models, the 241 has a soft copper underlay beneath its nickel chrome finish.
The big news is that after tour player feedback the heads have gotten smaller, only slightly in the long irons but quite aggressively in the short irons.
