I enjoy changing clubs every few seasons. I picked up a really nice used set of Mizuno MX-25s because I wanted something with strong lofts and a lighter shaft. I've played Mizuno wedges the past few years and really enjoy the feel and playability, so I was interested in Mizuno irons. I am very happy with my purchase. The clubs have done exactly what I wanted...they are very easy to swing and hit solidly and get a nice strong, high trajectory with very good distance. The feel of these clubs is about the best I've played...Titleist 690.cb are similar, but the MX-25s have a bigger sweet spot and much stronger lofts. I've read alot of reviews that talk about a loss of distance and I'm very curious how that could be...because a decent swing gives wonderful feel and really nice distance and accuracy. I'm looking forward to future rounds because the fun of hitting irons has come back to my game. Since the clubs are a few years old, they can be had for a great price. If you're looking at these clubs, you won't be disappointed with your purchase.

I have a set of MX-23 with Exsar R-flex graphite shaft. Wanna try MX-25 with R300 steel shaft but they sent me wrong shaft (S300 instead of R300). Lost a club length as tested at a local range, ball flight is higher than MX-25 graphite shaft. Shaft wt is 104g vs. 82g of my graphite shaft and I think it's a major factor for distance lost. Even without distance loss, it's not any better than my MX-23. In fact, ball dispersion is not as good as MX-23 set ... Glad to try but not for me, I am sure a correct shaft would be a different story... Sent back for full refund

I have been playing golf most of my life and in the last 4 years I have been trying different sets of irons. I normally shoot in the upper 70's or lower 80's. I was playing with Taylormade r7 draw irons. They are a very good set of iron. They fly straight and far. But I decided that I wanted to try something different, so I bought a set of Callaway X-20's. I hit them ok but not as well as the r7's. The X-20's seemed to be 5 yard longer or shorter on well struck hits, never a consistant distance. So I sold the X-20's and went back to the r7's. Soon after that I found a set of Ping G15 on ebay for a good price. I was excited to hit them because I had heard alot of good things about them. They hit very good but it seemed like I had a 20 gap in between the 9 iron and PW. So I went back to the r7's and sold the G15's. I decided to try something different and went with the Adams V3 hybrid set. When I first started playing these I hit them straight and long. They are also very forgiving. But soon after I noticed that I would chuck the short irons trying to get some back spin. The larger sole felt like a bulldozer when I tryed to hit down on the ball and take a divot. So once again I went back to the r7's. I played the r7's for the rest of the season and into the next when I got that wild hair again. So I figured since I hit the r7's pretty good I would try another set of Taylormades. I bought the Taylormade Burner XD's. Took them out to the course and hit a fade on every shot with every iron. I normally hit a straight ball and this wouldn't be acceptable. They didn't last long in my bag. I then swore to myself that I would never get another set of irons again. So the following season I bought another set. Go figure. I decided to try a set of Mizuno's. I did my research and found that the MX-23's had awesome reviews. Then I saw the reviews on the similar MX-25's. They seem to be almost the same except that the MX-25's are made with softer metal for better feel. I decided to try the MX-25's. I bought a set from Callaway Preowned. The same day that they came in I took them to the driving range. I bought a bucket of balls and set up for my first swing. "CHUNK" Not again, I said to myself. Well I set up to another ball and "WOW" it flew high, long and straight. I continued to hit each club that same way. I was impressed. After finishing the bucket I decided to try them on the course. I had more of the same results. My first round with the MX-25's I shot an even par 72. The following day more of the same, 73. I have been playing the MX-25's for 3 months and I play almost everyday. I have not shot over 76. The only issue I have while playing these is....what to do with my r7's.

I bought a set of MX-25 irons recently and am kicking myself for not making the investment earlier. The feeling of a well struck shot is absolutely pure. The distances of each club are predictable and repeatable. The 3i plays so well off the fairway I've parked my 5w. Excellent in every respect.

Never had forged clubs before. Cavity back cast clubs TM, Ping, Titleist,Callaway only compare to each other, not to Mizuno.

I picked up a set of MX25s about 3 years ago, having played MX17s (Mizuno's GI irons at the time) before that. Very briefly between 17 and 25, I had a shocking Ping G2 experience - I don't know why anyone would choose to play cast when you can play a forge as forgiving as MX25. These clubs will take you from 20 to 7, before they need to be changed - I am living proof. You will pick up a set of MX25 for around £200. If you are playing GI (game improvement) irons at the moment, striking it crisp but can't stop the ball on the green from inside 150 yards, look no farther and find a willing seller, these will change your life, and the enjoyment of your hobbey.

I've recently switched to the Mizuno MX25 irons. I usually shoot somewhere in the mid 90's, but since I've switched I haven't shot a round above 85 the last five rounds I've played. These are the most firm and forgiving irons I have ever hit. The best thing about is that I got them in my local proshop for $150. I would have gladly payed as much as $400.

Bought a set used on EBay, Dynalite SL Reg flex. What a nice set of hitting irons. I was a single digit handicap player until age and illness caught up to me. I have tried 5 different sets, some with graphite and some steel. These are far and away the nicest hitting irons I have tried since my old days of playing Wilson Staff blades. I still get good distance for a senior, with a smooth tempo the 7-iron maybe 150, and that's not over swinging. Between and carbon forged steel head, and R-Flex Dynalite you get great feel and ball flight. I tried a MP T wedges, they are great on full shots, but on finese, I prefer the more forgiving wedges.

Great clubs, smooth and carefully balanced to work the ball as well as provide forgiveness. I've lost a half to a full club on distance, but I'll take it any day for the quality and feel of the clubs. I played Ping ISIs for years, and while I enjoyed those clubs, these are a drastic improvement.

Yes these are great clubs with decent feel. However I Do agree with others that the distance lost with these irons is a club or more, for me anyways. This is not a driver so distance lost should not matter much and I have adjusted accordingly.
I was coming from the Mizuno trues which are a traditional blade set of irons and the first things I noticed was the distance lost. However what I gained was more consistent ball striking and less miss-hits. I am going onto yr 3 with these and I think I may mix the two sets of the trues and the mx25's together. I love the lower irons on the mx25's but miss the buttery feel and shot shaping abilities of the blades (true's).
I would give these a 4.75 if I could but since I cant i,ll round up to a 5. If your coming from another set of clubs besides a set of blades, You will not be disappointed in these clubs. They are close to blades as far as the feel goes and much better than the giant over-sized pieces most golfers are swinging. If your looking for a bit more of a "players Clubs" than these are them!
Mizuno makes great irons and I am a lifer.

I've used these irons for three years now. I'm a golf fanatic and try new equipment any chance I can get. These irons offer the best of both worlds. Great feel and forgiveness you can count on when you don't have your best game. I keep trying new irons but can't find a better overall iron to play. I question any review that speaks of lost distance with these clubs too. They are equal in distance to any midsize iron with the same loft angles. So solid...buy a set if you can find them!
