Mizuno Golf Equipment
MIZUNO – In 1933, Mizuno engaged in the manufacture of golf equipment, their international reputation for producing the finest quality sports equipment was firmly established in the 1970s’ when it started to export its golf clubs to Europe.
At that time irons were usually forged from a single mould and would emerge rough-and-ready and in need of plenty of hand grinding – an inconsistent process.
Mizuno developed a forging process, which used two moulds, more precise only requiring a minimum of hand grinding. Consistency was much greater providing a more predictable performance on the course.
In the 1990’s the emergence of CAD design lead most manufacturers to switch to a casting process to manufacture its irons. Mizuno bucked the trend by investing further in its patented Grain Flow Forging process – aware that casting was inferior when it came to producing precise club heads.
Mizuno’s combination of industry leading R&D, cutting-edge technology and stunning craftsmanship, they believe they produce some of the best irons in the world. Each and every club is produced with the user in focus.
Whilst other manufacturers relied on the payment of players to use their equipment, Mizuno invested in precise manufacturing techniques to ensure that tour players would want to play its irons by choice. Mizuno irons were regularly the most played brand on both the US PGA and European Tours.
North American custom golf equipment is assembled at Mizuno’s facility, in Braselton, Georgia. This ensures the quickest possible service within the States and beyond, whilst maintaining strict quality control.

JPX923 TOUR Irons
“Prior to the new V-Chassis, we needed a slightly thicker topline to pinpoint the vibration patterns that tour players identify with solid feel. Now we have this incredible feel with immaculate head shape and turf interaction.” – CHRIS VOSHALL – Director of Product
JPX923 FORGED Irons
“The JPX923 Forged is made from a single billet of 4120 Chromoly – then back milled. Avoiding significant welding and the new V-Chassis helped us to make the JPX923 Forged feel more solid, even though the face is thinner .” – DAVID LLEWELLYN – R&D Director
JPX923 Hot Metal HL Irons
A higher launching option for players with moderate swing speeds or aggressive shaft lean.
Introducing Nickel Chromoly – A new material with so much additional ball speed, our engineers switched their focus to feel and stopping power. 35% stronger than our original Hot Metal material, 4335 Nickel Chromoly enables a high-energy 8% thinner clubface. Combined with Mizuno’s vibration controlling V-Chassis and deep CG design, the JPX923 Hot Metal irons are as enjoyable and controllable as they are long.
“There are so many different kinds of players looking for increased ball speed from their irons, we needed more options for them at a fitting level. The custom studios use shaft selection incredibly well to help with launch angle or slower swing speeds , but the JPX923 Hot Metal HL gives them a great new tool to work with.” – Chris Voshall – Director of Product

MIZUNO PRO IRONS
MIZUNO PRO 221, MIZUNO RP FLI-HI, MIZUNO PRO 221, MIZUNO PRO 223 AND MIZUNO PRO 225)
Mizuno Pro has always been Mizuno’s most forward-thinking series – cutting edge engineering concealed within precise playing profiles preferred by the game’s elite players…
THE MIZUNO PRO 221, 223, 225 AND FLI–HI CONTINUE THAT PURSUIT – ELITE PLAYER’S IRONS DESTINED TO MAKE THEIR OWN MARK IN HISTORY. STRIDING ON FROM THE RECENT FEEL ORIENTATED INTRODUCTIONS OF GRAIN FLOW FORGING HD AND SOFT COPPER UNDERLAY – WITH A BIT OF ROCKET FUEL ADDED.
“THE CONCEPT OF MIZUNO PRO CAN BE MISUNDERSTOOD – WE’RE NOT TRYING TO DESIGN INSTANT CLASSICS OR WORKS OF ART. MIZUNO JUST HIDES TECHNOLOGY INCREDIBLY WELL.”
“THIS COULD BE PERCEIVED AS THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL OF MIZUNO PRO. BUT THE TRUE ESSENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO MAKE HISTORY – NOT BE STUCK IN IT.” – CHRIS VOSHALL, PRODUCT MANAGER
BY JULY 2021 – JUST 24 PLAYERS HAVE REACHED #1 IN THE OFFICIAL WORLD GOLF RANKINGS. THROUGH THEIR CAREERS, 13 OF THOSE 24 HAVE PLAYED MIZUNO IRONS.
“FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE – THE MIZUNO PRO 223 IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST STEP FORWARD OF ALL THREE NEW IRONS.”
“THE 221 AND 225 ARE REFINED VERSIONS OF THEIR PREDECESSORS (MP-20 & MP-20 HMB) – BUT THE 223 IS A COMPLETELY NEW CONCEPT. AN INCREDIBLY COMPACT PLAYERS PROFILE – SMALLER IN EVERY WAY THAN THE IRON IT REPLACES. WITH CHROMOLY FORGED AND A HIDDEN MICRO-SLOT FROM 4-7 IRON.” – DAVID LLEWELLYN, DIRECTOR OF R&D
MIZUNO PRO 221 Iron
The Ultimate Muscleback –
Inspired by the iconic blades of Mizuno past – evolved to be more playable through incremental refinements in shape and weight placement. Bevelled for the appearance of a shorter face profile and narrower top line – without loss of mass in the upper blade. With dramatically more compact scoring irons than its predecessors. Grain Flow Forged in Hiroshima, Japan, with a soft copper underlay for a uniquely satisfying Mizuno sensation at impact.
“WE’RE OBVIOUSLY WORKING IN SMALL INCREMENTS ON A MIZUNO MUSCLEBACK – WE HAVE TO DIG QUITE DEEP TO GET ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. THE COPPER UNDERLAY AND GRAIN FLOW FORGING WAS SUCH A GREAT FOUNDATION ON THE MP-20. PLAYERS WITH A GOOD EYE WILL ENJOY THE SUBTLE SHAPE CHANGES THROUGH THE SET – ESPECIALLY THE 8, 9, PW” – DAVID LLEWELLYN, DIRECTOR OF R&D
MIZUNO PRO 223 Irons
Elite Players Cavity –
Everything tour players need to compete on extended, more demanding layouts – but never thought to ask for. The Mizuno Pro 223 conceals a ball speed-enhancing construction within the frame of a compact players cavity. A completely new technology platform from 4-7 iron combining Mizuno’s tested Chromoly Forging and Flow Micro-Slot Grain Flow Forged in Hiroshima Japan with a soft copper underlay and uniquely satisfying Mizuno sensation at impact.
“THE GOOD WAY TO LOOK AT THE NEW MIZUNO PRO 223 IS THAT WE SHRUNK THE JPX921 FORGED TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM TO THE PROFILE OF ONE OF OUR SMALL PLAYER’S CAVITIES – COMPARABLE TO THE MP-62, MP-64 OR MP-18SSC” – DAVID LLEWELLYN, DIRECTOR OF R&D
MIZNUNO PRO 225 Irons
Hot Metal Blade Design –
The 2ND GEN of Mizuno’s staggering Hot Metal Blade – and the most playable of the Mizuno Pro series. More compact than the original with a revised CORTECH multi-thickness face for even quicker ball speeds. Equally effective as a long / mid-iron alternative for elite players or a complete set for low to mid handicaps. Grain Flow Forged in Hiroshima, Japan, with a soft copper underlay for a uniquely satisfying Mizuno sensation at impact.
“THE ORIGINAL HOT METAL BLADE WAS AN EXTENSION OF OUR HYBRID IRON TECHNOLOGY INTO A FULL BLADED LOOK SET. THE NEW MIZUNO PRO 225 PUSHES THE PROFILE AND SIZE DEEPER IN THE REALMS OF THE TOUR – BUT COMMITS MORE FULLY TO THE PURSUIT OF BALL SPEED” – DAVID LLEWELLYN, DIRECTOR OF R&D
MIZUNO PRO FLI-HI Irons
The Authentic Driving Iron –
A long iron replacement with a priority on ball speed – the Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi is designed to be played with a Hybrid shaft. Relieved of the constraints needed to flow through a complete set, the Mizuno Pro Fli-Hi has a longer head length, a little extra offset and a wider sole than the Mizuno Pro 225 long irons. With Mizuno’s 1st ever Maraging MAS1C face in an iron – for vastly increased ball speeds.
“OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF SEASON’S WE’VE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF TOUR PLAYER – THOSE WHO PREDOMINANTLY USE THEIR LONG IRON HYBRIDS INTO GREENS AND OTHERS WHO USE THEM TO HIT MORE FAIRWAYS. WITH BOTH THE MIZUNO PRO 225 AND FLI-HI, AS WE’VE GOT OPTIONS FOR BOTH – OR CHANGING DEMANDS THEY MIGHT ENCOUNTER AT DIFFERENT TYPES OF COURSES.” – JEFF COOK, PGA TOUR MANAGER, MIZUNO
