What's New in the Mizuno Pro 241, 243 & 245 / My Favorite?

[@petegalindez9961]

I am all about that thinner top line on the 243 along with the compact shape…

[@markboreham5258]

You forgot to mention the increased tungsten in the 245 verses the 225

[@tylerbellgolf]

Noticed that when I went for a fitting.

[@Noone-dy7sh]

I got the 243s. They performed as well as the 245 with better spin and felt way more solid.

[@maamold]

I own the 223's my main complaint about them was that they needed just a bit more bounce. It's going to be hard justifying moving to the 243's now that I've upgraded to some BB&F Ferrules on them, but I just might need to for better turf interaction.

[@hbyrdut]

When the camera is following the ball flight it's too high so we can't see the ball land.

[@razor7241]

7 iron loft is 30 degrees for the 245 not 31 (according to Mizuno’s website).

[@EFGMC]

Oops. You're right!

[@austinrotell5153]

I got a blended set between 241(pw-8) and 243 (7-5) biggest notice is the gab between 8/7 the distance gap is 20 yards on stock 8 (155 and 7 (175) im thinking of delofting the 8-pw since they do go a little too high for my liking as well. Thoughts on anything else i should consider?

[@EFGMC]

I'd do that and probably bend the 7 a degree or so weak.

[@legend9018]

Surprised you hit the 245 and 243 the same carry distance despite the 2 degrees of loft difference and less spin on 245

[@jamesrhody7071]

I would like to have a iron shaft fitting with my current taylormade psi forged heads what do you recommend

[@EFGMC]

Email me with what you're thinking about. [e-mail]

[@william_hartman]

Unfortunately a few bad shots with the 245 messed up the averages. One only had a balls peed of 111, another launched at just 13*, and a third looked like a push slice. I think that is the reason the numbers look bad for it, the peak height should be 33-34y, ball speed 125mph, spin around 5000, descent angle around 45*, and distances 189y carry and 201y total. IMO you should take a few more swings with each one and only compare like-for-like shots where club speed, path, angle, and strike location are the same between clubs. If you can control for those, the result will be all club differences.

[@sms9106]

The 223, 243 look like my MP25's ( I know they're semi-ancient but I love them). Now I didn't really want to spend another $1500 or so again.

[@GolfSimulatorsbySpike]

I think the 243 might be one i test first, when i get to my sons sim. He has the whole cart full to test. My old Adams Ideatechs are real hot but real ugly! Lol

[@R1koe2840]

245 brilliant for a fade 175 carry 20 degrees launch angle at 80 mph club head speed 7 iron

[@oneaburns]

Wow, even for guys with 10, 12, 14 handicaps? 😂 He says that like that’s not better than the average golfer.

[@per_growth]

Was interested in the 245s as I was looking for more distance. My current irons are Miura CB302s (32 deg 7i). The 245's are long - but they are also lofted at 30 ) - my carry numbers went up by about 10 yards (from 163 to 174.2), but the problem is roll out of about 15 yards - so I may be longer - but I probably wont end up nearer the pin. His second shot here carried 185, total 198 - 13y of roll out. Essentially, I was hitting almost a 6i with a 7 stamped at the bottom - w/ a 70 length shaft. Height is around 8 - 10 feet lower with the 245 vs my gamer. Descent angle is also quite steep. Spin is lower as well (5,600 gamer vs 4,800 245) My swing speed for the 7i is around 82mph. Nice to hit - but Miuras felt much better. Hope these numbers help. I saw this YT review of the 245 and the guy was flushing the 245's with 6,000 spin, 91mph swing speed - but the roll out was still around 15-20 yards (?) which is confusing. He was using a Trackman so that should be accurate.

[@johnbrodnik839]

A 43 degree PW!?! Crazy… We’ll have to talk about a set of 241’s with a 4/5 in the 243. It looks like Mizuno offers at No Charge, ??, the Dynamic high launch. Might be worth a try in a standard 6 iron. I can adjust from her. Great review!!

[@ptrckkear1]

Good video. The club speed data should be included to provide context.

[@nathaniverson6828]

Would love to see the comparison bent to the same loft. I bet the 245 would launch higher and spin more at the same spec.

[@higbyprigby9648]

7i 190? I hit my 23 hybrid 200. Whatever….Why would I want a PW to go 150? When Donald was #1 IN THE WORLD he hit his 47* PW…..drum roll please - 120yds. Yes, I heard he’s playing 243’s. Now an exact loft match to Srixon? Good grief. I’m not a golfer; I play one on TV.

[@ratbastard4443]

Luke Donald is playing 245's this year, not 243's

[@maamold]

The white paint fill in the number is the worst idea I've ever seen. I own the 223's am looking at the 243 or 245 in order to bring my spin down, however first thing I'd do is re-fill the number with black.

[@JohnnyBoy4]

Will be filled with brown mud soon anyway, so I wouldnt worry too much

[@CoryLancasterYT]

Based on Mizzy's website this morning, they've increased their club lengths by .25". Do you account for this in your builds/fits? I've always been 1/2" long in fits, am I now 1/4" long? Guessing swing weight comes into play as well? Great content as always!

[@EFGMC]

I won't use their length numbers by themselves so your 1/2 over would still be 1/2 over if you went through me for a fitting or build.

[@michaeljeremiah9221]

243 Nice!

[@scubieroo05]

Any idea how the 243 would compare to the t100/150? Also still have that seeet mizuno feel in the 243?

[@EFGMC]

Just did some content with Mr Shortgame and he was hitting the 243 as a stand-in for Titleist T150, that I don't carry. He really liked them. Similar numbers but yes, with that Mizuno feel.

[@angrybarsteward7301]

Folk talking about loft have me so confused. Some say these new irons are stronger lofted when others say these are weaker lofter while talking about the same irons 😤 So im trying to custom blend a set of irons and want to make the lofts weaker.. ie i want to make a 27 degree 7 iron into a 29. Is that -2 on the options or +2?

[@EFGMC]

Where are you trying to order from? I can put in an order for you if you need certain specs.

[@saintcruzin]

That’s -2

[@ChasinAcesGolf-rt8do]

Great review! What shafts did you test? I am currently playing the JPX921 Tour with the KBS stiff and am considering the 241, 243 or a combo of both. My 7 iron averages 169 carry, club speed 89 and 6352 spin on Trackman. Would you recommend moving up to x-stiff?

[@EFGMC]

I had Project X 6.0 which is what's in my current irons. For me weight is most important so this shaft at 120g is what I wanted.

[@lkae4]

@@EFGMCWhat do you think of PX LS? I have it in my 243 set and the combination is magical.

[@EFGMC]

@@lkae4 I tested them for myself and never got the results I wanted but that's why we have options.

[@jameswolski7475]

Great review. Have you heard if they are going to do a JPX Pro in the 24 series?

[@CoryLancasterYT]

JPX release will be in the Fall, Pro line is separate from JPX.

[@davecummo8743]

They look similar to my mp5’s

[@yucelmehmet801]

When is the Release Date in the uk

[@allahalibaba9063]

Great review...Thanks
