- Is the Pro 245 forgiving enough for a mid-handicap?
- Yes, that is the point of the line. The hollow-body long and mid irons add ball speed and help on off-center strikes, and owners say mishits still fly near the target. It is still a compact player's iron, so a high handicapper should look at a larger game-improvement model.
- How does it compare with the Pro 243?
- The 245 is the hollow-body, distance-focused iron; the 243 is a more traditional forged cavity aimed at shot-makers. Choose the 245 for ball speed and help, the 243 for a softer, more compact blade-like profile.
- What is the difference between the Pro 245 and the Pro 241?
- The 241 is Mizuno's blade for the best ball strikers. The 245 keeps a similar look at address but adds a hollow body and chromoly face in the longer irons for distance and forgiveness.
- What shafts and flexes does it come with?
- Mizuno offers it with steel and graphite shafts in several flexes, including the UST Mamiya Recoil 780 ES SmacWrap graphite in regular. Pick the shaft to match your swing speed and launch rather than the head alone.
- What is in the box?
- You get the irons in the configuration you order, such as 5-iron through gap wedge. Check the set makeup before buying, since some listings skip the long irons or the gap wedge.
- Is the copper underlay noticeable?
- Owners describe a soft, muted feel on centered strikes that they credit to the forging and underlay. It is a feel story, not a distance one.
