MIZUNO PRO 24 SERIES IRONS // The best irons of 2024?!

[@kaisersoze6685]

The one I’ve been waiting for. As a lefty I was bummed I couldn’t play the 225. 245 here I come!

[@Chrizzly06]

Same here hahaha

[@chuckgviolin3538]

Got fitted at Club Champion today and to my surprise, the 245 was the club. Never gamed a Mizuno club in my life, but hit these great.

[@williag1970]

If Luke Donald is using a full bag of 245’s this year, that speaks volumes for me

I’m a +2 handicap and I still can’t believe how good both of your dispersions are in these videos. Absolutely put me to shame with ballstriking 😂 well done gents.

[@mrjughead87]

9:00 he's blistering this 4 iron. Why does he not have long irons in the bag? Good height, not bad spin, and super consistent with yardage. Lovely!!!

[@marcballerstaedt1394]

Great video! Can you guys make a comparison video between different hollow body long irons? 245 vs T200 vs Apex Pro vs P770?

Yes please

Vs Takomo 101T's

[@steveott7150]

I’d like to see the 245 vs the T150 since they said the feel was similar.

[@Vortiloner]

I hit T200’s and MP245, went for 245’s because performance close, but could tell exactly where I hit 245’s on the face. Assuming T150’s would be less forgiving.

"You've missed the grooves you're in the chrome!"😂😂🎉

[@zaneferris7512]

I just got fitted for these today (one of the first in Australia) they bombbbb, they feel pure, I haven’t played competitive golf in over 8 years and coming back I had to try something fresh, can’t wait to get them in the bay, for reference I was hitting 7i about 190 yards carry, 245’s are the go!!

[@MrGranters11]

Just got fitted today. Was dead set on Taylormade or titleist ended up in the mizuno 245. They feel amazing

[@rb8999]

Would be interesting to see these compared against the new Wilson Staff CB & blade. Picked up an older set of FG Tour 100 and those fit my game great with the higher/weaker lofts compared to the players distance irons

[@davidmccutcheon1903]

Great video gents … quality of video’s keeps getting better and better … can’t wait to try to hit the 245!

[@mikedritto9305]

243 vs T150, please!

[@eric1020]

Yeah this seems like the right comparison, and 245 vs t200. Why do they compare 243 with t100???

[@ericpark8244]

I have 225s and it took a lot of work to get the gaps right. 4-7 is fully hollow body and 8-PW is semi hollow body and GW is more blade/wedge like. The 7 to 8 has a large gap because hollow body is slightly hotter, the PW feels great but isn’t as hot, and GW isn’t hot enough. Just raising for awareness because everyone I know that plays, including myself, these needs to dial in the gaps to be effective with them.

[@adambarnes4191]

Same issue with the 923 Forged. It's nice that manufacturers are trying to combo within a single set, but the gapping is becoming an issue with different face metals and tech throughout the irons.

[@atbear]

8-up is full hollow body. 9-down is partial hollow. The 8i just removes the tungsten from the full hollow. Not questioning your observations though...

[@adambarnes4191]

@atbear so 4-7 is one type of metal, hollow, with tungsten, the 8 is same metal and hollow but no tungsten, then 9-G is different metal, not hollow, no tungsten but channel. Sheesh.

[@tdn9106]

Fully agree with this comment

Just switched from T150 to 243 …. Feel is miles better and such a solid hit.

[@whogg0521]

Even if I don’t get to get fit, I’m hoping to come to TO just to see you guys. Dinner and drinks is still on me. I went to the F1 race last June, but TO it is for this year.

[@danielbufis449]

I just got fitted for the 243’s and with my fitter at club champion in the states we had a tough time combo setting with the 245’s. But in the end the 243’s beat out the 245’s but it was minimal. Mizuno irons were amazing this year.

[@dominiquevanvoorhis5162]

I so hope I'm good enough to play the 245. Fitting in March for sure.

[@stashimoto]

Bought the 245's based on my fitting results. On their way. Confidence building and consistent distances even on the mishits

[@anthonydeluca7153]

I'm 53 and I play to an eight hc. The 243 dispersement hands down is better than the 245. I wanted the 245 I made my mind up that I was buying the 245. I gave up 5 to 6 yards. The feel and dispersment, winner. Bought the 243.

[@markgiarrizzi9371]

I could watch the both of you hit shots ALL day long. SO pure.

[@saintcruzin]

I was fitted for the 225’s last year. It’s the best club that I’ve played. 245 has more weight at the bottom but…I already have a high ballflight..

[@TrevorDandy.]

“You’ve missed the grooves. You’re in the chrome!” 😂😂😂

[@jasonbates1407]

Awesome vid guys, another great watch 👍 these irons are mint and forgiveness to boot considering their profile. In the bag, here they come!

Looks like Vosh knocked it out of the park this year

[@simonsaunders1730]

Comment on the lofts / gapping / speeds is interesting. Picked up some 919 Forged to mess about with… the whole progression looks a lot easier 7-6-5-4.

[@bostonpritchett4398]

I got fitted today and went with the 243! 245 felt like the weighting of it wasn’t as good and ball striking was a lot better with the 243

[@mrlivestar]

Can’t wait to be fitted for these. Fitting Appointment locked and loaded at TXG in Feb. Playing the MP20s for the last three years and now the 245s look to be a front runner for a replacement. Hope I can get numbers like you guys. Great video!

[@thisjustanother]

i just recently bought used 919 tours for 300bux, and they have been phenomenal. looking at these, they certainly could be some amazing clubs when i can get them for under 500bux in 5 years lol

[@Fitter4life]

Literally just got fit for the 245 today at the new Calgary spot. Amazing feel and got more height and spin that I needed over my p790

[@guywhittern2800]

Didn’t realise that 223 and 225 were deemed a bit sluggish. Interesting for those who buy one or two models back

Ian’s dry commentary during Mikey’s shots have me rolling during every one of these videos.

[@nbktruth]

Just got fitted for these today and I have ended up with the 243s. After watching this video I went in expecting to come away with the 245s but they just looked chunky to me. Got my handicap down to 5 last year so maybe the more players feel of the 243 leaned me towards them.

[@oscarwidjaja8397]

Used MP245 since last november, I’m lucky enough since it launched way early then the rest of the world in Indonesia, but there’s no review whatsoever back then, considered 225 as well but end up using 245 and it felt really good so far, after seeing this reviews, i think i made the right choice..

[@doubled8929]

Mikey better put some 245's in the bag!!

[@patw34n99]

I would like to see a video comparing 243 against PXG 0317T. Please

[@war77eagle36]

Got fit today and ended up with the 243s, I was a shocked. I’m a 10 handicap and never would’ve hit them if the fitter didn’t put it in my hand. Every aspect of 243 was better for me than 245, t150, ZX5 etc. I get too much shaft lean and the 243s helped with height, spin and descent angle. Another example of go get fit and go in with an open mind!

[@alexlasky2031]

Same thing with me, was impressed how the 243 had better height and didn’t sacrifice much distance

[@camchann]

I bought my Callaway Epic Forged irons a few years back based on your review. I’ve been wanting to upgrade and I think the Mizuno Pro 245’s will be my next set! Thank you as always for such great reviews!

[@gzman1]

same here

[@Riley-ns6bd]

These seem crazy better than the 223. As a lefty, too bad we got the crappy initial version when they've got a real winner here.

[@maamold]

Now what was REALLY interesting about his "hit the chrome" swing - the toe-down was only .5° where his contact swings were ~4° toe-down. Just an interesting observation.

[@joelane2845]

Hi guys!! Performance wise would you guys still lean more towards the Titleist T150 over the Mizuno 245? Is the Mizuno 245 more forgiving than the T150? More like the T200? I would love to see a head to head with the 245 and T150!! Thanks, Joe

[@Zecyon]

T150 is more like a 243 than a 245. 245 is basically a T200. 243 is essentially a slightly larger and more forgiving T100

[@bearois1]

Yes the T150’s and MP 243 are the same loft at 32 degrees for 7 iron. I agree the T200 and 245 are more comparable

[@justinstephenson9360]

243 v Blueprint S would be interesting. I have always loved the Mizuno Pro/MP range of irons but I play Ping at moment. If I were to replace my beloved i210s, 243 & Blueprint S would be top of my list

[@dominicdurso3672]

I just did the test . Ping won, ordered then straight away . Lovely iron

[@justinkuglin8927]

I feel a little more confused about Mizuno’s iron selections now. How does the JPX Tour/Forged compared to the MP 241/243? They blend so closely that I’m not even sure how they differentiate in performance or who they are target at. Can anyone help explain?

[@mikeh197]

In order of low handicap to highest handicap this is how the lineup generally goes: 1) 241 2)JPX tour 3) 243 4) JPX forged

[@dlabgolf717]

@@mikeh197I would actually put the new 245s ahead of the JPX Forged now.

[@paulgouge1896]

Google Maltby Playability Factor. He measures COG from side to side, top to bottom and front to back. Those ratings are standard across all clubs and manufacturers. BTW, the 223 are rated higher than 225 and JPX Tour. IMHO, the T Zoid Pro was the best overall iron ever and the 223 are closest Mizuno since.

[@user-pm8kh5nr7m]

How do the 245’s compare to the Srixon Zx5 mkii irons????

[@jacobmccain8082]

Can you confirm that the MMT 105 is a no upcharge shaft with these? Appears that way from the website.

[@robh316]

[@kreusvt1]

Have you guys noticed in significant difference between the 221 and 241? Mizuno seems to claiming they’ve somehow improved the blades as well? Probably just all in the looks right?

[@brandonf6012]

When did Mikey’s swing speed get to be the same as mine? Good on you Mikey.

[@DJ33]

245 looking so good.

[@FF04RDF]

I have jpx 921 Tours and maybe it’s a bit of winter golf blues kicking in but, these 245s really are tempting. I’ve played fully forged Mizuno’s for maybe 20 + years and before that a set of Wilson Staff blades so taking the leap into hollow construction would be a big move. Do they really feel okay ?

[@kentao4]

I have the same and really like the idea of the 243. Why 245 for you? Personally I’m worried about the distances with 4° left diff at the 7i. Wouldn’t that be too much? People are saying you mess with the bounce etc when you bent too much. I just need a bit more forgiveness at 6,5,4 irons.

[@persndergaard1108]

Great test lads, love to see soon to be onetenMike hit the 245, i got the first hollow PM20 HMB, a will indeed look at the 245 now. And around 4 years circle fore new irons might be the number. Do you still do online fitting Ian ? I don’t have stores like yours in Denmark 😢

[@CarlosSaintPatrick]

Love this channel guys, however, I would love to see close ups of the irons or clubs during the verbal intro.

[@CrispyGFX]

I find the iron reviews far more interesting than the endless 'farther/faster/friendlier than ever before' rhetoric surrounding 'new driver technology'.

[@adammitchell9627]

That’s the problem I have with my 921 sel irons, consistent gap from the six to the wedge but when I get too the 4 and 5 they are the forged 921 and the distance gap jumps a lot.

[@MussbacherIndustries]

Wow, was really impressed with the length you guys were getting. At least, till I looked at the club loft...opps. Ya, and just like the T150's....

[@besticandogolf5901]

Yeah it’s pretty crazy. I game the 225’s with weakened lofts and with KBS tour lite shafts. Can’t beat the club speed of a 7 iron but with the height and stopping power of an 8. It’s a great combo for a player like myself who used to struggle with launching irons into optimal windows and couldn’t hold many greens. The juiced lofts just sell clubs for a lot of people.

[@yearingolf]

If I couldn't afford miuras I'd be tempted to get a set of 243's.

[@lickitbiscuit6700]

With that 4 iron carry for Mikey, what would be your next two clubs before driver? I hit my 4 iron roughly 210 and currently hit anything else (hybrid, 7 wood, 5 wood) like 235+. I carry 3 iron into 3 wood currently, but have though about keeping 3 iron at 220 yard and just carrying a 5 wood with a 250 max carry.

[@lickitbiscuit6700]

Also, I am a mizzy guy. Play the 221’s currently, 3 iron is an mp15.

[@theCycleReport]

i want a combo set of these 2 so badly - like split it at the 6/7 iron and perhaps knock the loft down 1 deg if the 245s make too much distance where the split happens.

#PeakDesign

[@joepawling4735]

Isn’t the loft on the 243’s slightly more? The 245 pitching wedge is like hitting a 9 iron. I purchased the 223’s last year, they are buttery when I hit the sweet spot. It tells me when I’m off slightly.

[@MrWubzHD2]

I’m probably an oddity but I actually play the 221s and my game is like a 20 hcp. Oddly every time I try the 223 they feel bad to me and for some reason the 225 go the same distance as the 221 for me but they have lower spin and a lower landing angle.

[@JohnDunn-vk9wu]

How would the 245 compare to the Srixon ZX5 Mk II?

[@brettluedde4472]

I’ve been a mizuno blade player for 30 years. I actually play a set of TP-9’s that I just love. I got a set of Callaway TCB’s last year and I just keep putting the mizuno’s back in the bag. I’m not playing as much anymore but must check out these 243/245’s. Something about mizuno’s for me. How do these compare to the JPX Tour?

[@OT0T]

Worth the upgrade from the 225 ?

[@Dav373]

Always a shame that they leave out lefty options, in the 243 this year. I wouldn't want a full set of 241 or 245, and couldn't blend between them either. It just makes you look elsewhere.

Great video. I do wonder - how do the lofts compare between 243 and 245?

[@paulbradley9695]

Really struggling to pick between 245s or 243s tried hmp’s just couldn’t hold a green or consistent distance Currently using t150’s which are good but I do like Mizuno irons. Any help would be much appreciated Ps 7 iron ss 81/82mph.

[@peterfrench4865]

What shafts were in the 245's? Thanks

[@Noone-dy7sh]

Why would you guys compare the 32 degree 243 to the 34 degree T100 and the 30 degree 245 to the 32 degree T150? Seems an odd comparison to make.

I know you guys have hit both now but if you had to choose 1. You taking 243s or blueprint S?

[@GolfNut10]

Would it be possible to increase the loft to bring them closer in yardage and also get the PW closer to your first wedge.

[@glencampbell1701]

Interested in your thoughts please. I play the MP20’s HMB. 17 hdc (got down to 13). Looking at 245’s but wondering if going into the 923 family would be better for my game. I live the looks and feel of the HMBs.

[@kentao4]

Im scared of the 245. I know you can bend but I hit the 7i and reached over 200 yards. The gapping seems like it will be so wide. Currently playing 921 tour and need more forgiveness in 4,5,6. Might be good with 243 all the way through but no fitters around me fit with more than the 7 iron which is so frustrating.

[@bilbobaggins7095]
