Thinking of switching from Ping to Mizuno?
36 of 37 found this helpful When it was time to make a decision about new irons, I switched from Ping ISI's with graphite shafts to the Mizuno MX-23 with steel shafts. I decided to write this review to share my experience because others may be trying to make a similar decision.
First, I liked the Ping ISI's and played with them for 4 or 5 years. But, I began to wonder about some things:
- would I like a forged club better?
- would I benefit from the steel shaft?
- could I be a better "shot maker" but still get the benefit of game improvement from these irons?
- should I just upgrade to another set of Pings?
- if I got Mizuno's should I get the mid-size 23's or the standard size 60's?
Here's what I've learned after 8 months of play:
- Mizuno has a good custom shop and handled my order for 1" longer 3 degs up. The swing weight was still balanced very nicely even with the extra length.
- The 23's are mid-sized, and when compared to the Pings they are in between the size of an ISI and an ISI-k. I think the mid size 23's have advantages over the standard size 60's for mid handicappers.
- The 23's don't feel or look oversized in any way, but they have a generous sweet spot and the forged "feel" that is so often discussed is no myth. PLAYERS WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PINGS AND THE MIZUNO FORGED IRONS--RIGHT AWAY. And, by the way, it "feels" good.
- The Mizuno steel shafts felt great right away and my distances were remarkably similar to the Pings with the exception of the Mizuno pitching wedge which is a 46 degree rather than the Ping 48 and tends to have substantially more distance (15-20 yards more).
- I believe I'm a better shot maker with the Mizuno's in terms of trajectory and fade or draw. My handicap went down 5 strokes in 8 months from 16 to 11 and I'm certain it will continue down a few more.
Bottom Line: The MX-23's are easy to switch to from the Ping ISI's. You will get the game improvement benefits of the generous sweet spot, you will keep your distance, you will experience the "feel" of the forged clubs, and you will have more confidence to work the ball when you need to.
I have no reason to recommend the Mizuno's other than my very positive experience with the irons. I hope this info is helpful.

R7 -- Excellent Control and Distance
117 of 133 found this helpful I recently upgraded from the 580 to the R7. The first round of golf proved several things to me:
1. The R7 head was more narrow and visually appeared to be less forgiving, yet, I was able to hit more shots dead on the sweet spot that I did with the wider face of the 580. Shots hit dead on the sweet spot will go about 30 yards farther than shots that miss the center by one ball width. In other words, hitting the sweet spot has an immediate reward.
2. The X-Stiff shaft in the R7 was clearly superior to the 580 X-stiff; I could really feel the acceleration and flex through the hitting zone--but--it still provides a lot of control.
3. The adjustable weight feature will never be adjusted by me. I suppose it might have some value, but anyone that is a good enough ball striker to consistently hit a straight, draw or fade shot probably doesn't need to move the weights. Anyway, I don't see the value in that yet.
4. The first time I played with this driver, I immediately liked the performance improvements in terms of accuracy, feel and distance when compared to the 580 (which I also liked). The R7 definitely makes a difference and I've never regretted (or bad-mouthed) this driver since the first time I hit it.
