Well they do look good. In the hand they feel like a proper iron should and the looks are elegant and professional. The weighting is nicely balanced; you can feel the club head but it is not like you are trying swing a sledge hammer around.
Now I fit right in when it comes to the type of player that Mizuno are aiming theMX 300 s at. Blades are a slightly distant dream but I want a little more finesse than a wide soled game improver. These look just the ticket. They have a slim top line, beautifully proportioned head size and a drop dead gorgeous chrome finish.
Its there. No doubt about it, its there. That wonderful buttery soft Mizuno feel makes the MX-300s a pleasure to hit. It just leaps out at you as soon you make contact. Pure silk forged heaven in a crystal glass, served by your favorite barkeep. I could go on for hours about the feelI really could but I guess you want to know a bit more than that so lets move on. If you havent got the message by now you never will.
Thecheap Mizuno MX 300 s are long due to their lofts and the flight is very strong and penetrating. I found my best shots flew very much like a blade, soaring to the top of its flight and then parachuting gently down onto the target.
Off center strikes were punished but not severely. You werent strapped across the desk and given a good flogging, just made to empty the trash and given some extra homework. My bad shots flew O.K. and still felt fine although the special feel was gone; these arent great strikes after all. Id say I lost around 10-15% distance which beats a lame dribble up the fairway by a long shot.
