Old Mizuno MX-25s?

[clhacker]

I've been playing with a set of top fliteXL  box set of clubs, Have replaced the driver with a titliest and put in a set of wedges. The clubs honestly aren't used that much, work family you know the drill. I hit the irons well but they are big and clunky looking. I found a set of decent looking MX-25s 6 iron through PW, which will perfectly replace club for club the irons in my set. would these irons be an upgrade for about $125 with shipping?

I think just about anything would be an upgrade from those.😁

Those are nice irons and $125 is a fair price if they’re in good shape.  I’d consider them an upgrade from the typical Top Flite set.

Another suggestion to check out from that timeframe are the Titleist 775 cb.  Also nice irons and you can find them at good prices.

I just saw that the set i was looking at was -.5 in length i need standard. I did see the same store has some MX-23s a bit older but in good shape. would these be a decent upgrade for a high handy cap fair weather golfer?

You can buy shaft extensions, for cheap, from a component supplier.  It is a simple matter to install them when you re-grip.

That’s a bit much for just wanting to upgrade some clubs. Much easier to just get the length you need. 🙂

Just saying @Vinsk.  Chances are you would re-grip an old set anyway.  And why pass on a set of clubs just to save yourself, or a repair person, a few minutes time?

The new to me irons arrived today, They look and feel to be in great shape, I can already tell they may be a huge improvement to the top flites. I hope to get a chance to hit them this weekend.

Nice, congrats!

Nice clubs.  MX-23's were my entry irons to the Mizuno family, and I have stayed in the stable with MP-52's, and just late last year, bought my second new set of irons in my lifetime - JPX 921 Forged.

I also added the ST-200 Driver and 3W to the bag last season, and have been happy with them.

Mizunos feel good, give great response / feedback, and will be a huge improvement over the T Flites.

Enjoy.

Remember that they are going to feel different for a little while. Contact can also sound different. Their overall weight and swing weight maybe different too. So don’t be concerned right away by the difference and keep working with them.

A good drill to do is a center contact drill. Get a dry erase marker and either mark the club face or the ball and see where impact is when you hit. Your old irons may have made off center hits feel okay. The Mizunos will give you different feedback on off center hits. Keep working on that drill, adjust setup and try to get center face contact.

I too have played Mizuno Irons for a number of years. I have tried others but end up coming back to one version or another of Mizuno irons. Ironically, I only play Mizuno irons. Everything else in the bag is from another manufacturer. I guess maybe someday I should try their driver etc.?

[clhacker]

got after a few trips to the range got to play 9 with the new to me irons last Sunday. They played and felt really good, It is very nice to have the ball go where it is aimed. The topflite irons always went left of aim. I think I hit them a bit farther too.

I love my Mizuno irons. I’ve had 3 sets, and I’m about to get fitted for a new set. Like you, I started with a cheaper box set then upgraded to Mizuno. I’ve never looked back over 19 years of playing them. There is no feel like a Mizuno, in my opinion. 
 

Welcome to the Mizuno family!!

I was playing MX20's till I decided my game needed a bit more forgiveness.  They are great clubs, but only slightly more forgiving than an angry woman.
