*I really think golfers should look at these irons right? What do you think?*
I went from 225s > 2023-T200s to the 245s now.LOVE how they look, feel and forgiveness is the same or better than 225/T200s for me (10hcp).
Mizuno are the best iron manufacturer for me. Perfect blend of style, performance, feel and simplicity. I've tried a lot of different brands but I can't see me playing anything else.
Ordered the 245 days ago after doing a fitting to replace my 9 year old JPX 850s. Incredible clubs to look at and hit with my dispersion reducing and distance improving. What a result! This video only further cements my thoughts 😊
Can't wait to take them out on the course 😍
Lefty here. Just got fit for the 245’s. Saw a lot of good numbers on the simulator. Can’t wait to see how they do on actual grass. Love my MP20’s and will hold on to them.
Same here. Lefty and hit them at my fitting and results were the best plus they just felt the best to me. Purchasing my first set of Mizuno's.
Great video full of information. Keep up the reviews I enjoy your input
Thanks, will do!
Nothing feels like a Mizuno - honestly. I love my forged JPX set. 🙂
Blades only
I've had the 225 in my bag for nearly 2 years now, totally epic. Will wait for the 265's to renew.
"You can't be blase with these." Love that one!
Ive got a blended set , the 245 4-7 , 241 8-W brilliant irons , great video
Added 241s (pw-6) and absolutely love them. Previously owned mp32s and 225s, so I’m a Mizuno fan, but these 241s are the best looking/feeling.
I was fitted and purchased the 225’s last spring. I did have them delofted back down to “standard” but I truly think those are a blend of the 243 and 245 like you stated. Think a blend of 245 3-6 and 243 of 7-P would just be unbelievable!
Got fit for the 225’s a couple of years ago at the gone but not forgotten and I love them. Before the fitting I said I’m older and lost a little speed don’t have much practice time but I have good feel with iron so I was looking for a forged bat with good feel extra pop and good feel. The 225’s checked every box I can’t believe how forgiving they are
Luke Donald has just put a set of 245's in his bag. I myself just took delivery of the previous model of 223's, saving £200 in the process v the new 243's.
Have just been fitted for the 245s and it was between these and the PING i525s found the 245s had just a bit more forgiveness and agree they look amazing. Ive never really thought of Mizunos before but went into a fitting open minded and glad I did.
love my 225s, planning to hit the 245 tomorrow as I need a second set. Nothing feels like a Mizuno.
I just upgraded from old Callaway Diablo Forged irons to some second hand 225s with X100 shafts and i love them. I play an 18 handicap but im a decent ball striker. I'm just no good off the tee. These irons have already forced me to focus more and improve on my swing accuracy and they offer a fair amount of forgiveness. Love the feel of these irons when hit off the center.
Recently got fitted for these clubs in a combo set !
Mizuno 241 for PW to 7 & 245 for 6 to 4, these clubs just feel so good. There is a high chance they are coming in the bag 😂
Just started using the 245s a few days ago and I love them as a 14 hdcp.
Hi Alex. You are the one I watch everyday. Mid handicapper low speed 79. Which club do you recommend for me. 223 , 225, or 245, or jpg forged 923?
I was fit for the 225’s about 1 1/2 years ago. I just played a long difficult course with 5 par 3’s. I had 3 birds 2 pars and missed the two pars inches from birds. They are soft, copper underlay, long and best club I’ve ever played. I’m an 8 handicap been playing for 40+ years. Love em…245’s are too close to change….btw I subbed…
I love my 2019 p790 but I really love these miz 245
Based on your comments, I have already decided on 245 and noted that that seems correct for my handicap. Thanks.
5 hcp here. Just got fit for the 245s coming from T100. They look/feel amazing and are just so easy to hit
Why did you move away from t100?
To make a combo 243/245 i7/i6 they just takes 1 degree off the 6 and the gapping are constant.
My first and only set ive ever played are my mizuno Mp30 irons. I absolutely love them especially when you middle one but i wouldn't mind upgrading them to something more modern to get some distance back. Id go 245 2iron, 243 in 3-6 and 7-pw in 241 and have the lofts tweaked accordingly. Hell id get driver, woods and wedges aswell. Just need a lotto win.😅
I love the look of the 245’s. What about a comparison video to the 225’s?
I own the 245. They look amazing
Having listened to you video I too have been surprised by Mizuno who recently have made some very good irons. The draw back is you can’t mix and match as with others like Srixon. However as you said the 241 (blades) you have to be so accurate to get the perfect strike and any off centre hits are penalised. As also with the middle set you tried I believe the 245 which has less loft than the 243 which I think you said had 30 degrees. However the sound they made was so soft in all. If you played a lot and had a sound swing the blades would be fantastic for scoring. The sole of the other two look quite bulky and if hit from hard ground I think there might be a bit reaction with the ground. Other than that I think the sound of the club was sound it just depends on the standard of player and their ability to strike accurate shots which would depend on which model to go for. Great video and feedback by the way!
Great to hear your thoughts on it and thank you !
245 all day long. I’m gaming the Mizuno JPX hot metal 923 HL. Looking to test the new 245 & also the Callaway paradym AI Smoke HL.
I'm currently gaming JPX 919 HMP's. As my game improves I seem to sail the well struck shots right over the green. I'm wondering if the 245's could be blended with the 243's in the shorter irons or maybe the 245's with the different tech. in the shorter irons already compensates for this. I really like the look of the 245's!
Great looking clubs. I think the 245s will appeal to a lot of decent golfers because they look like muscle back bladed irons but offer some good technology as well as sound, feel, etc. They are certainly high on my list of potential purchases and if they are good enough for Luke Donald, then they are good enough for me - I hope!
Hopefully they bring out the 245 in traditional lofts. (7i @ 34*). Think with added loft plus all the tech would make these clubs absolutely perfect.
I have the p225's which are almost identical to the 45's. I hit several clubs before deciding on the 225's. They are forgiving, fairly long and you can work the ball. I play to about a 9, am a decent iron player - bad off the tee. They are beautiful and certainly look like a blade. Once I tested the 225's, I got fitted right away as they were far and away the best clubs for me. These will be in my bag for a long time.
I would say the changes in the 221 to 241 are minimal due to what it is, the changes in the 223 to 243 are solidly incremental but the changes from the 225 to 245 have been the most significant and will get the golfers who weren’t interested in a hollow club interested (myself included). I play the 223’s now and I am 62 and still playing the tips (up to 6900), driver average 270 sometimes still get 300 but not like before. But I am strongly considering the 245 for my next 5 year set of irons. I’m just having to think it through because it will probably cause me to change wedges for gapping as well.
Please do a whole set gapping video of the 245 5 shots each show the dispersion circles all together to see if they are well gapped.
it would be very useful to include club head speed for the context of distance.
I play the 225 didn’t see or feel much difference but the 423 felt really good
I love that the 245 looks like the 241. I am not nearly good enough to play a blade, but the 245 looks almost exactly like the 241 but is actually quite forgiving. The only issue I have them them is that they go a bit too far, even weakened 2*, I wish they came with the same lofts as the 241 or even the 243.
Alex, I have been playing 921 tours and have had some great rounds with them. I want something more forgiving in long irons. The 243 is what I think I want but the 245 is probably what I need but I was hitting the 7i 190 in the air and rollout to about 200. I don’t want to hit that far and it had more dispersion in distance. Why would a better player want such rollout and gapping difficulty? Would bending 2 degrees weak completely change this club as far as bounce and trajectory? I don’t really want a much higher flight overall. They feel good but stopping on greens seems like it may be difficult, no?
Good job mate! It's an American mate, Phoenix, Arizona
Never use Mizuno irons before, but just got fitted to 243 set. Tried all brands but like everyone says “Nothing feels like Mizuno”. Not just the feeling is amazing, but also the numbers and stats. During practice at the range, the guys near me often ask me what irons do I use cuz they hear the sound of the strike and they love it 😂😂😂
I tested the 243 and 245, ended up buying the 243s (arriving any day now). I liked the feel and sound of the 243 and was more consistent with dispersion. I actually preferred the blade-like look of the 245, but felt better hitting the 243. And I admit it: I was swayed by watching the video of the Mizuno forging process. I love that the 243 is fully forged, and I'm a little turned off by the hollow body construction of the 245. (Sensible or not, how we feel about the club does matter. It's a game of the brain as much as the body, right?)
I think the 245’s have tonnes of bag appeal. Look like a blade but offer loads of distance and forgiveness. I think it’s perfect for anyone that might want to have the aspiration of being a better player, or even an older player that is used to gaming blades but has lost some distance.
Bought the 245 2 weeks after getting the 225 😂 Major improvements with the 245 even though the 225 is already so lovable.
I bought the jpx hot metal a couple of years ago and I'm an instant Mizuno convert...I've gone for the driver and even the putter....the 245's look great but I totally get your point about being scared off because the look too bladey.... I'm off 16 at the moment with serious intentions to come down...Mizuno will help ...
The 245 is more forgiving than the Stealth HD I just sold off 😂
Hi Alex i currently have the Mizuno Pro 225 is it worth the additional expense in upgrading to the Pro 245?
hmm i never like to say yes but i’m sure you will find a benefit 🙌🏼
it's the face and sole, i like blade because
it will cut thru grass and mud.
Would you consider the 245 a good choice for a 12 HC?
Yeah!
The 245's really appeal to me; I love the look of blades, but don't have the skill to use them consistently.. the 245's would give me the look I love, and the forgiveness I need, which is perfect.
I'm going to get fitted for a set as soon as I can afford one
Had my Mizuno 245s for three rounds and already my scores are coming down
I'm getting those 245's. But there's going to be a gapping problem. I do not want a 7 iron going 190. My usual is 165-175. I'm just looking at better forgiveness. Not massive yardage gain. I'd have to bend those clubs up atleast 3 degrees.
Cool to see what the 240 series do.
Thanks!!
I just got fitted for the 245's and my fitter adjusted most of the lofts up a couple degrees to work for my gapping
@@ryanbarnett3002how does that affect the bounce?
I'm shocked you never tested Mizuno irons prior to 6 months ago. They are the best irons on the market imo
how does the 245 compare to the taylormade p790 irons
That’s a great idea 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Don’t think Mizuno makes a mistake of making the 245 similar to the 241, it is their ‘pro’ range which aesthetically look like players irons. They have the JPX range to cater for mid-high handicapper and more confident inspiring look. I do like the look of the 245, if I haven’t got a set of ping i525 last year already I would seriously consider these.
Got fitted for 245 outstanding irons ❤
What shafts did you throw in them? I got fitted for them also and threw in the KBS Tour 120S. Was a toss between the KBS and Modus, wish I went with the modus in terms of how freakin smooth it was, but numbers don't lie haha
I went with recoil graphite shafts as I have an average swing speed of 85 mph on irons and they are so easy to swing but launch is amazing
The 245 would be my choice - if only my swing was a bit more consistent. 🙂
Tried all the Mizuno iron models and was unimpressed. Went with PXG Gen 5 irons instead. Ping 525's would have been my second choice (just as good as PXG in my opinion) and Titleist T200's would have been third. I've gamed Mizuno Hot Metal irons for the past 3 years - it was time for a change.
Wally 😂
Most PGA players would opt for Mizuno if they weren’t tied to Adidas crap - FACT
You talk complete 💩 you complete 🔔🔚 , try a forged iron instead of budget rubbish then you will understand , your clearly a “mass” produced “trend” fan rather than a golfer , PXG summarises your golf 😂
I tested the 243 and 245 last week. I found that the 245 never really gave me any benefit over the 243. But I was hitting the 243 like lasers! Honestly out of 20 shots, you could've thrown a blanket over them all.
Hence, I've ordered 243s
I hit the 241 and 243. I noticed the feeling of the 243 was as good and possibly better than the 241. I didn't want another thick top line in the 245. Couldn't believe the Dispersion. Ordered also!
241 literally looked like a butter knife at address 😂😂😂 too scary for ne
Real pretty, either one. Nice display set for those who decorate their man caves with clubs. Who cares how they play?
Mizuno IS THE STANDARD when it comes to forged irons. They are the premier irons in all of golf. I read a while ago, they asked the PGA tour professionals, what iron would you play if you were not paid by manufacturers to play their clubs? They responded mizuno more times than any other manufacturer.
Where did you read this? Would like to read that article.
I get that you are young but really just 6 months ago you hit your first set of Mizuno’s?
I’m 30 years of age, never used mizunos before then no, just had no interest up to now 🙌🏼
@@HowGoodGolf No worries but that’s just kinda surprising. They have always been known for their irons but across all the platforms the products they currently manufacture will match up with anyone else in the industry from woods, balls, putters and balls.
Luke Donald is now gaming the full set of 245 👌🏽
He's a pro paid by mizuno
Bore off 😅@@edanzore
They must be good!
4 iron with a 39 to 40 degree decent angle will struggle to hold the green, totaly over looked?
4 irons are never designed to hold a green
The majority of people do the research these days, so they'll know that it's hollow body, I think they'll go for these because they look bladed with that hidden forgiveness.
*I really think golfers WILL NOT REALISE! This are beautiful though right?*
🤔
why make the longer irons smaller form factor? You're swinging those pretty high speeds and it takes away forgiveness. Considering even pros will play split sets with more forgiving long irons, this seems odd. That 245 definitely looks like it would hit a much wider audience! I do love the looks of those as well, they are absolutely stunning!
Just wondering why almost all people here are fitted with the 245?
You can’t spell premium iron without Mizuno
Not one of these clubs reduces your handicap
Players in the market for 245s want their irons to look like blades but need something more forgiving.
Was there a punchline or a moral to the story? I'm just curious where you're going with that
@@smallraymond1 Watch the video before commenting. He is complaining that the 245s look too difficult to hit and people won't buy them because of that. What I am saying is there are plenty of clubs that look easy to hit and are easy to hit. If you are going to shell out the money for 245s is because you want something that looks and feels like a blade, but is more forgiving.
@boganpainter1638 oh for sure. I agree, I think I misread your comment at first. I think I thought there was more you were trying to say.
Throw away the ego and get the most forgiving
😴😴
Taking plastic off golf clubs is the best feeling? You want to get out more...
Best thing I ever did for golf was buy blades. Blades bring consistency in your game.
Stop the scaremongering about blades.
