March 14, 2023 – Mizuno Golf has once again proven its excellence in the golf industry by winning numerous awards at the 2023 Hot List from one of the most competitive golf community and news outlets: Golf Digest.
With its innovative technology and exceptional quality, Mizuno Golf has secured its position as a top-performing brand in the game.
MIZUNO ST-Z 230 DRIVERS
Golf Digest: “The multilevel face-thickness pattern creates more consistent ball speed across a wider area and is further enhanced by the weight-saving carbon-composite crown and sole sections. A heavy back weight also provides stability on mis-hits.”MIZUNO ST-Z 230 FAIRWAY WOODS
Golf Digest: “These fairway woods likely fit a better player’s eye, but they neatly hide the elements that allow them to play with the additional forgiveness average golfers need. Those include a lightweight carbon-composite crown that frees up mass for a rear weight screw and internal weight pad. Together, they increase stability on off-center hits and produce a higher launch.”MIZUNO PRO 223 IRONS
Golf Digest: “Legend has it that Mizuno founder Rihachi Mizuno required the company’s baseballs to bounce precisely to his eye level—4 feet, 5 inches—when dropped from a height of 16.5 feet, or they were rejected. Such dedication to precision continues in this iron. Some might say this set is ahead of its time. We say it’s a potential template for players irons right now.”MIZUNO PRO 225 IRONS
Golf Digest: “Despite having a hollow body, the Pro 225 is the most classic-looking of the group, and it might be the peppiest, too. Some hollow-body irons use elastomer inside the head to dampen sound (which can reduce face flex), but the Pro 225 goes without an elastomer. Instead, sound and feel are controlled by the rigidness of the body.”MIZUNO JPX923 Tour IRONS
Golf Digest: “For such a straightforward-looking iron there is a lot to admire. To appeal to better players, Mizuno shortened the clubhead length in the 6-iron through pitching wedge compared to its previous model, the JPX921 Tour.”
MIZUNO JPX923 Forged IRONS
Golf Digest: “Distance is the desire here, and the ball takes off like a dragster racing toward the green thanks to a little extra zip on the 4- through 6-iron, which feature a wider back-milled “micro-slot” deep within the sole cavity The extra-thin face yields a deeper center of gravity for an easier launch.”MIZUNO JPX923 Hot Metal IRONS
Golf Digest: “The clubhead is larger than its Hot Metal Pro counterpart, offering comfort at address for the less-skilled. Still, there are highly meaningful design properties that players of any level can appreciate.”MIZUNO JPX923 Hot Metal Pro IRONS
Golf Digest: “This iron features a relatively compact shape and thin topline to fit the eye of better players seeking workability as much as distance. Because so much weight is placed low and back, the lofts can be aggressive without sacrificing height.”MIZUNO JPX923 Hot Metal HL IRONS
Golf Digest: “Mizuno estimates close to half of all golfers might be flying a 7-iron farther than a low-lofted 5-iron. That led to a change in thinking: The way to increase distance in this club is to make the lofts weaker by 2 to 3 degrees compared to others in the JPX923 line.”MIZUNO T-22 WEDGES
Golf Digest: “The T22 is one of the few forged models in this category. Mizuno takes pride in offering a variety of options in wedges just like it does with irons. Also, the X grind has extreme heel, toe and trailing-edge relief to bring out the short-game artist in you.”
Mizuno’s consistent presence in these coveted lists remains a testament to Mizuno’s meticulous and unique forging process and years of creating performance gear to take players to the next level.
