The new MX-1000 Hot Metal irons were developed with a super high COR and a massive MOI for AMAZING DISTANCE AND FORGIVENESS. The Hot Metal construction of the MX-1000 is created by plasma welding a thin, hot, ES230 maraging steel face to a high tech stainless steel body. This exotic construction delivers COR numbers that reach the legal limit, which results in incredible distance for your iron shots. Moreover, Hollow Technology construction with internal extreme MOI weighting creates a super low and deep COG, which delivers an easy, high and straight ball flight. The MX-1000 with Hot Metal technology is the longest and straightest iron we have ever developed, and it is sure to take your game to a whole new level.
Forgiveness and performance, is it possible to have this kind of blend in a GI iron? Mizuno believes that you can with what they are billing as their "longest and straightest" iron to date. On the range we found the creative thoughts behind the MX-1000s to be true as these irons offered a nice high ball flight and were straight as an arrow. As a single digit handicap golfer that plays different irons each week, I still prefer the straight ball rather than having the ability to move it left and right, but with this set, I had no issue producing draws and/or fades with each shot. Something we do not see often with GI irons and was a very pleasant surprise. In the hands of the testers, more than 80% (out of 14 golfers) said that they were getting more distance with the MX-1000 irons than that of their current set. I was not one of them however. I did not see a distance increase, but did not see a decrease either.
