This club earned the highest remarks for hitting the sweet spot. They could feel the result and it felt soft, yet solid with a distinct feeling that the ball would go forever. Off center hits felt noticeably different.

Incorporating Mizuno's HOT METAL concept into iron design, the MX-1000 is for golfers looking for an extreme combination of distance and forgiveness.

Astonishing distances that push the boundaries of the R&A and USGA's performance limitations are achieved by plasma welding a thin, hot, ES230 maraging steel face to a 431 stainless steel body - a technique perfected in Mizuno's MP Fli-Hi utility iron.

The HOT METAL face is teamed with a hollow construction and internal weighting -encouraging strikes from a wide area of the face to hold their line with minimal distance loss. The hollow construction also allows weight to be engineered deep within the head for a naturally high trajectory - enabling the use of stronger lofts for even greater distance.
