Nice sticks, but unfortunately not as good as the ones they were supposed to replace, the MX-23. Same ball flight, same distance, but not the feel or the sticking power of the 23's. Also not the same buttery feel when that perfect contact is made. The 25's are made of softer metal than the 23's, yet the 23's feel much better. Could be the Dynalite Gold SL shaft on the newer irons, but something is different and not for the better. If you want a good forged iron with forgiveness look for discontinued MX-23's, for much less money you will get a much better playing and feeling stick

I decided to purchase a set of Callaway's 06 without really thinking or even testing them properly. What a mistake that was!

So I switch to the MX-25 and couldn't be happier. I get more distance and strangely enough, more accuracy as well. Furthermore, they feel like butter.

By far, the best irons I ever played with.

mizuno are bang on with these irons, i wouldn't fully say that they are "game improvement" irons... i would class them more as "transition irons" more like... the middle between game improvement and players irons. slightly more weighted to game improvement though.
after purchasing the irons i went out on the range for a few days, getting used to the irons. the irons are very solid off center but not SO forgiving off center. however i was getting direct feedback as to where i was hitting the ball.
distance wise they are about 2-5yds longer than my deep red 2's. however 1 BIG difference is that with the mizunos i felt that i can take a smoother swing without any major loss of distance.
i naturally hit the ball high so didnt want high lofted clubs. found the mx19's, x20's, G5's, raptures and G10's too high lofted. even ballooning some shots. the mx25's however have a very nice loft on them producing a powerful, penetrating flight.
the one major thing that took getting used to was the reduced offset. however the reduced offset also induced workability, to a level that i had never experienced before. i could shape shots on demand with accuracy. this was a major plus-point. due to the clubs being forged they feel absolutely amazing.
one warning however, if u slice, these clubs will NOT help you. the reduced offset will only make you slice more. i know this thanks to my dad (lol). if you are a slicer i recommend the x20's.
the callaway x20 tour irons are very similar to the MX25's, however what made me purchase the mizunos was the forgiveness. a little bit off with the tours and say "bi bi ball".

great clubs, dreamy feel, shot shaping ability, decent forgiveness, nice looking.
what more can i say?!?!

Lovely! I have played many forged clubs over the years, these are far and away the most forgiving. I had them done custom with Dynalite Gold stiff shafts and couldn't be happier. The most consistent ball flight I have experienced in a set of irons yet. They will let you know when you miss but are still quite forgiving. I highly recommend the MX-25 for scratch through 15. Mizuno rocks, buttery, yummy goodness.

I startet playing golf this summer and after a couple of month with my old clubs (Bay Hill) i decided to get some new ones. I tested almost every club available on the market, from cavity back to full blade. I finally choose the MX-25 from Mizuno because of the superb feeling and game enhancing qualities as well. Nothing feels like a Mizuno! As I am still very young I am using the MX-25 with Nippon Steel Shafts. Nice shaft in combination with the clubface. The ultra lowweight shaft enhances you to generate high club speeds and easy control of the trajectory. I look down on my new clubs and say...wow. And that is what its all about. You have too play them an not someone else. The MX-25´s clubface offers forgiveness on the one hand and shot shaping abilities one the other hand as you can see as several tour players do use these clubs. Just take them and you will not be disappointed. But I would go for the Nippon steel shaft instead of graphite.

After 20yrs I've finally found a set of clubs that blow away my eye2's. The clubs have a great look behind the ball. Feel is better than any club I've tried. Distance has been about a half club shorter than my sons callaway x-20's. If your in the 80-low90's buy them you won't be disappointed.

Just bought a set off Ebay for $425 for a set rated 9.9 out of 10 by the seller. When I opened the box, it had one hit mark on the 6 iron. Standard lie/loft with S300 shafts. Shot a great round right off the hop. Irons are 1 club longer than my Titleist 990's with a whole world of difference in the feel. Absolutely pleased with the ball flight. Went to the range the next day and was totally impressed with all the irons. Very pro like ball flight. Even off center hits travel within an acceptable distance. I demo'd Callaway X Tour, Titleist 775's and Mizuno MP32's. Glad I choose the MX25's. You will be too!

Tried Callaway X20 tour w/px 6.0 flighted for 3 months which are good clubs, downside was a little too much bounce and wide sole for tight fairways and trouble holding fast greens.(distance average, feel was good). Ping s59 for 2 months w/rifle fligthed 5.5 short irons were excellent, long irons seem too light to get the proper distance and accuracy, a little harsh on the hands, these held the greens better than the Callaway. The greens on my main course are very fast. Both Ping and Callaway shafts were a little stiff for me, I test in the middle of r and s, I was trying to get my ball flight down.
So I bought a cheap set of Tommy Armour v31 (w/reg shaft high bend point, proper specs) for $58.00 to hold me over until I find a set I like. So low and behold I shoot the same scores I always do (low 80's). So maybe its Indian and not the arrow? Holds greens between the Ping and Callaway, they are very hard on the hands!
The next contender was the Mizuno mx 25 DG SL reg shaft, not the dynalite that comes standard. Distance is 1 club longer for me only because I now hit a much lower trajectory (probably more because of the shaft) the sole is wider than the Ping and close to the Callaway but it is cut in a way that you can hit from those tight lies. Just as Golf Digest reviewed. My main concern was how well do they hold the greens??? The best I have found! I could hit a Mizuno 6 and check the same as a Callaway 9 iron. Your next time in a golf shop just look at the two clubs and you can see and feel the Mizuno's face has a more aggressive cut to it. I don't mean to knock Callaway cause I still use thier driver and 3 wood. These irons are labeled as game improvement but are still workable do to the lack of offset. I don't put alot into frogiveness on any club only because if you put a bad swing w/any club you will get a bad result. The nice suprise I was NOT looking for was the CONSISTENT distance control w/each iron, no hot spots, maybe being forged this is normal (this is my first forged set). Love the look of the chrome but more a satin look not too much shine. Distance, Accuracy, Feel and ball flight, I am very satisfied. I will keep my Tommy Armours for backup.
All clubs tested were properly fitted. Be patient,get fitted and order the shafts, grips,lofts, lies you need. This is my first review in this forum over the years of reading yours, I hope this helps?

Clubs mentioned above were course played, tested a number of clubs in a simulator. I give the other 3 irons tested here a 4 star. A good way to judge the reviews on this site is look at the companys whole line up and Mizuno stacks up well. Mizuno is perhaps the only company that puts quality shafts in all thier irons.

these are brilliant!! they are pricey but they are the best iron out there!! they are very forgiving but are still very workable and playable. they are a soft nice forged feel and i would recommend these th anyone under 20 handicap!! thanks mizuno.

Great Club. In 2002 I got a set of MX-20s and loved them, went with a set of MX-23s in 2005 but thought I was ready for a 'players' set and got the MP-60s last October. The MP-60s are a great set of irons but not really for my game. I'm not much into working the ball.

So I'm back with the MX-25s and love the Game Improvement aspect of them.

Don't know since I got them from eBay.
