December 9, 2021 –<\/strong> Mizuno<\/strong>, the Japanese equipment manufacturer founded in Osaka in 1906 has announced the latest generation of its Mizuno Pro Series <\/strong>of irons: the Mizuno Pro 221, 223, 225 <\/strong>and Fli-Hi <\/strong>are the product of a timeline of exceptional innovations.<\/p>\n

Mizuno Pro<\/strong> has always been Mizuno’s most forward-thinking iron series – cutting-edge engineering concealed within precise playing profiles that are preferred by the game’s elite players. The Mizuno Pro 221, 223, 225 and Fli-Hi<\/strong> have been designed as elite player\u2019s irons, but with a little rocket fuel added into the mix, they\u2019re destined to make their own mark in iron history.<\/p>\n

Showcasing the recent feel orientated introductions of Grain Flow Forging HD<\/strong> and soft copper underlay, they offer a superb blend of power and playability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concept of Mizuno Pro can be misunderstood \u2013 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 \u2013 not be stuck in it,\u201d<\/em> says Chris Voshall<\/strong>, Product Manager, Mizuno Golf.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mizuno Pro 221<\/strong>, is the Ultimate Muscleback iron, inspired by iconic Mizuno blades of the past, Mizuno Pro 223<\/strong> is an Elite Players Cavity iron while Mizuno Pro 225<\/strong> is a Hot Metal Blade design.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom an engineering perspective \u2013 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) \u2013 but the 223 is a completely new concept. An incredibly compact player\u2019s profile – smaller in every way than the iron it replaces. With Chromoly Forged and a hidden micro-slot from 4-7 iron,\u201d<\/em> says\u00a0David Llewellyn<\/strong> \u2013 Director of R&D for Mizuno.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inspired by the iconic blades of Mizuno\u2019s past, the Pro 221<\/strong> has evolved to be more playable through incremental refinements in shape and weight placement. The irons have been bevelled for the appearance of a shorter face profile and narrower top line, but without loss of mass in the upper blade. The 221\u2019s are dramatically more compact in the scoring irons than their predecessors. They also feature Mizuno\u2019s shortest CG \/ shaft axis which is consistent from 3-iron to PW, allowing for controlled shot shaping through the set.<\/p>\n

Grain Flow Forged in Hiroshima, Japan where Mizuno irons have been produced since 1968, they feature a soft copper underlay for a uniquely satisfying Mizuno sensation at impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re obviously working in small increments on a Mizuno muscleback \u2013 we have to dig quite deep to get any negative feedback,\u201d<\/em> says David Llewellyn<\/strong>. \u201cThe 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 \u2013 especially the 8, 9, PW.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
