Mizuno pro 221 review

Welcome to the Mizuno Pro 221 review.

Technology has come to change the way sport and golf, in particular, are played. Golf equipment manufacturers are leaning towards technology to build their equipment to conform with the changes.

In this review, I am going to look at how much influence technology has on Mizuno in designing their new line of Mizuno Pro irons, particularly the Pro 221 Irons as it is my main focus in this particular post.

So, if you have been wanting to get these new irons from Mizuno, then this review is exactly what you need to make a better and more informed decision.

Mizuno Pro 221 review – Introduction.

The Mizuno Pro 221 iron is one of the 3 versions of the Mizuno Pro Line of Irons recently released by Mizuno.

The Mizuno Pro 221 is forged from a single bar of 1025E mild carbon steel, with every head in the lineup undergoing a forging process that keeps the grain, from the club heel to toe intact. This, together with thin layers of copper behind the carbon steel, creates an amazing feel at impact.

The Pro 221 Irons are designed to accommodate better players who appreciate the look, the feel, the sound, and of course the workability of the traditional Mizuno blade.

The design structure of the Pro 221 creates a good strike but can only be appreciated by better players with great striking skills.

It’s one of the least forgiving of the 3 versions of the Mizuno Pro comprising also of the Pro 223 and 225.

 

Mizuno Pro 221 review – Basic Features.

The new Mizuno Pro 221 Irons features a lot of technology to bring it to the state it is now.

It starts with the refining process that has the mass moved from heel and toe to the back of the sole, making it a bit bulky, for an improved feel.

Standard Specifications.

The Mizuno Pro 221 Irons uses the Project X SL 6.0 as the standard stock steel shaft, and the Z-Grip full cord 60R as the standard stock grip.

Look.

The Pro 221 Irons look Classic with a logo on the club head, a shorter face profile, and narrower top line, a thinner top edge, and shorter head length, without losing playability, and of course without losing out of mass in the upper blade.

A chunk of the mass has been moved from the heel and toe to thicken the back of the head, at the impact position to create a great feel through the impact.

Performance.

No matter how good a club looks in the bag, what every golfer looks forward to is to see it perform.

The Pro 221 Irons delivers a great feel at impact although not much improvement from the Mizuno M-20 irons.

There is certainly some extra yardage, with great sound and playability but not much from forgiveness, and it’s quite cool as the Irons isn’t targeted at players looking for forgiveness but control and playability.

Forgiveness.

The Mizuno Pro 221 Irons delivers a great striking experience for the better players and creates amazing sound but when looking at forgiveness, the Pro 221 irons are the least forgiving of the Mizuno Pro line.

There is no sacrificing the traditional classic Mizuno feel with the Pro 221 for other functionalities as you still get the same exceptional feel Mizuno irons are known with.

 

Speeds & Distance.
