Mizuno FLI-HI Utility Long Irons 

DESCRIPTION

FLI-HITM offers a high trajectory for soft landings from long distances.

It is every golfers dream to be able to hit long iron shots perfectly either off the tee, in the fairway, or onto the green with controllable, precise accuracy. Now Mizuno combines the distance and the trajectory of a fairway wood with the accuracy and control of a forged iron in the new FLI-HITM utility long iron. Featuring the revolutionary new CORTECHTM face design, the easy-to-hit FLI-HITM utility long iron generates superior initial ball velocity for distance while providing a high trajectory for pinpoint approach shots.

Mizuno, where have you've been all my life? I love this club. This summer I purchased some MP-33s but now my longest iron is a 3 iron that I can drive about 200 yds. I wanted something longer off the tee for those tight par 4s, long par 3s into the wind, and a club that provides at least a bit of utility when in trouble. My focus for this club is distance with enough accuracy to keep it in the short grass. A club to "rescue" me isn't much of a priority. I compared the Fli-Hi against an MP-30 2 iron. Really no contest for my priorities. Since I hit my irons quite high, I play this club a bit ahead of center for maximum distance (about 220). If I play it like a 3 iron in my stance or tee it up too much, the trajectory is too high. Out of the sand or on hardpan is manageable as long as I play it a bit more back in my stance. Haven't tried it from the deep stuff yet. I didn't compare against the TaylorMade rescue woods because I was told that they hit quite high and have lots of backspin. Doesn't matter to me beacuse for the price (used), I couldn't be more happy. At the same time I also bought & love a used Blue Rage T-Zoid 3 wood.

Great clubs, a lot easier to hit than the rest of my irons which are MP33s. Only one problem... I have caved the faces of the 2 and the 3 iron (18 deg and 21 deg) in. And my swing speed with the driver is 116 mph average. So I do not swing hard enough to cave in faces... but I did.

Model Reviewed: Mizuno Fli-hi 21*

I carry driver, a #4 wood and four wedges, so I had a bit of a gap and needed a few more yards than I was getting from my 3 iron. (like a lot of golfers, I hit 3 & 4 iron pretty similarly). I liked the Fli-Hi because I wanted a club with the look of an iron as opposed to the rather clunky Rescue type head design. I tried the steel shaft version first, (S300) but was displeased with lack of distance and the relatively low trajectory. The flex for a stiff felt a bit weak for me, so I had it tested and it came out at a ridiculous 4.7.!! I switched for a graphite model with the stock Exsar Blue. It played stiffer but was really "dead" in terms of feel. I loved the head but this was just not working out. The moral of this story is, I reshafted with an S flex Fujikura Vista Pro 60 (came out at a D2, 6.5) and this club has absolutely come alive. Lively, crisp feel, a BOOMING high trajectory, and effortlessly carries 220 - 230. With a little persistance and some help from Fujikura this is now a true "utility club" worth swapping out your 3 iron for.

Wonderful club to hit off the tee. I use a more unorthodox approach. Play it back in the stance some 2" right of center. Hit it like a stinger shot (let the hips drive the ball and keep head level). The club makes you set up in your most athletic posture and you are rewarded for a good swing(it benefits your iron game as well). Monstrous yardages. The ball just rolls rolls rolls rolls rolls after touchdown.

Model Reviewed: Mizuno Fli/Hi 21Deg.

The Mizuno Fli/Hi with 21 Deg. of loft is a great utility club to have in your bag. (no matter what you shoot!) I originally purchased it to replace my 3 iron. For it's distance and accuracy off the tee. I ended by replacing my 3 iron and 5 wood. Allowing to add another wedge. It works very good from fairway bunkers and thick rough. However don't use this club if the ball is pluged etc. or on hard pan do to it's wide sole. At first I took alittle abuse from my fellow low handicap players. But that quickly changed after a couple rounds. Hitting this club off the tee allows me to keep the ball lower and under control. I would consider trying an 18 Deg.

Customer Service

To keep the steel shafts consistant with my other irons and 3 wood. I wanted a flighted 6.0 rifle. It was no proplem but it did take about 2 weeks as this was a special order.They were great to talk to.

Absolutely PERFECT. Perfect replacement for my 3 iron. I hit my 4 iron pretty well, but I have always had inconsistencies with my 3. This club is so easy to hit it is ridiculous. Feels like a 7 iron! The great thing is that I no longer need to worry about 440 yard par 4s, because I know that I can still get to the green with an iron in my hand. This club is very accurate.

Incredibly easy to hit. Took out 5-wood and 2-iron and replaced with the Fli-Hi's and shot best round of the year today. Unlike other utility or rescue clubs, the Fli-Hi's are pleasing to the eye and look like an iron when soled.

Model Reviewed: Mizuno Fli-Hi 24 R300 Sensicore

Used 1st time today, hit 170 yard shot to 6 inches - ball mark was 18 inches, so stopped within a foot! Perfect sub for 4 iron for me. Sensicore shaft feels great - it was 45 degrees today - although it may dampen feedback somewhat. No problem to draw or fade. Mis-hits very forgiving - 5-15 yards distance loss, slight fade bias. Looks great, inspires confidence with setup. Forged head allows bending 2 degrees either way, also can bend flat or upright (e.g., you can order the 24 degree bent between 22 degrees and 26 degrees). Great club!!!

Customer Service

Mizuno toll-free service number provided immediate answer to various options for ordering (shafts available, bending clubhead, etc.).
