Club and Putter

These forged irons have their own flashy-sounding technological feature called a “dual T-Zoid power bar”. With Mizuno being a Japanese manufacturer, this sounds like it could be a tribute to the transformers.

The MX-23 irons from Mizuno are described as very forgiving clubs. This puts them in a group with a lot of other irons about which the same claim is made, so the MX-23s will have to walk the walk as well as talk the talk. Can they do so?

Going by the comments expressed by users, it would certainly seem that they can. Mizuno aimed to create a large sweet spot, allowing for more forgiveness on shots which are not hit perfectly, and the success of this venture is reflected in the many positive comments from players who have used these clubs.

Criticism is rare but it does exist. In common with certain other of Mizuno’s clubs, the MX-23s have attracted comments to the effect that they are best suited to players who have reached a certain level of skill. Players not yet at such a level may find the clubs a little hard to use, although this opinion is not unanimous. A second comment is that these irons are light – possibly too light for some players who have commented that at times they have trouble “feeling” the club as they use it. Some players have also noted a slight drop in length compared to other clubs, but this is more than made up for in accuracy and control. While Mizuno claim that these irons are especially forgiving, there is the odd comment which states that they are great when the ball is hit properly, they can be finicky and punish the player somewhat when it isn’t.

In general, the Mizuno MX-23 irons get very positive feedback from the players who have tried them. Negative comments are generally mild in nature and are significantly outnumbered by players who are fully satisfied with their decision to use these clubs.

New golfers have a very specific set of requirements, and the wrong choice of equipment could make their problems a lot worse, rather than improving their game. Here are some recommendations for clubs which will suit the game of someone who is starting off on the long road to golfing excellence.

GX Squared Ti Driver

Already respected as a good driver, the new incarnation of this club aims to improve on the speed and distance attained. A weighted chip in the club head drops the club’s center of gravity, the effect of which is to improve the initial strike of the ball. There is also a draw model for players who tend to hit left to right. All in all, this driver is designed to combat the typical errors made by beginner golfers

GX Squared Fairway Wood

The square design of this club helps to achieve a straighter initial drive, something that new golfers should be concentrating on from the first time they step onto a course. Made with top quality materials with a stylish design, this will be a useful asset for the new player.

GX 922-Z Irons

These irons are an oversized model, ideal for high-handicap golfers or those who want plenty of slack on their shots. To this end, the face is ten per cent larger than the regular equivalent. Other technological features improve the various aspects of the iron game.

Xeon M-4 putter

Your putter might be the single most important thing in your bag, so it makes sense to start with a good one which suits the level of your game. The M-4 gives the player a strong visual image of where they are aiming via its alignment system and the weighting is geared to the center of the putter with the aim of a straight stroke.

While it goes without saying that practice and effort are more important than equipment, these clubs will offer the right combination of qualities for the higher-handicap or absolute beginner golfer.
