Anyone tried the MX-25's yet?

http://www.edwinwattsgolf.com/golf-e...01_-1_1106.htm

I've been planning to get a set of MP-60's but when I tried them together with the MX-23's I was much more consistent with the latter and the feel was about the same to me. So I was planning to get the MX-23's but now I see that the new MX-25's will replace the MX-23's. Any input on this choice is greatly appreciated.

I can't imagine the MX-25's would be anything other than an improved version of the MX-23 (which is really only an improved version of the MX-20). Aesthetically they are really nice looking golf clubs (IMO), my younger brother plays MX-23's at an index of 6.2 and he says they're more than enough club for him to play for the next few years. I would suggest you go hit the 25's though before you make a decision since they're in stores now. Seems like the tiniest nuances in club design may or may not have an impact on how the club sets up and swings. Regarding the MP-60 versus the MX-23, if you're hitting one quite a bit more consistently, in my mind the other shouldn't even be an option anymore.

Good luck in your decision though, anything made my Mizuno is a sound investment if you ask me.

Hi There,
My first post on the site and mainly as I found this thread on google.
I have literally just got back from testing and and buying the 25's. I am a tall player so I have had them custom fit, I was hitting a standard 25 and a longer and more upright 23. I liked the 23 but the 25 felt much more natural in the hands they also seemed to be good value for money.
I would definately test the 25's before going for anything else.

Thanks for your input Stu and welcome here.
MX-25's will not be available here in Sweden for some time though and I get a good price on the 23's so might go for them.

I have not tried the 25's but used to own the 23's, the MX23's are a great stick, i miss them lol. they are soooo easy to hit and they are forged. only gripe for me now is that the sole was too wide. other than that a excellent club.

I have never had any wide-sole irons. What was the problem with them for you? I'd like to understand if I could get the same problems...

Wide soles can make working the ball, especially knockdowns more difficult. Wide soles help get the ball airborne and help golfers who tend to hit a bit fat. Type of grass and firmness of ground matter also. Narrow soles are an advantage on firm ground. Someone else would have to explain this, but type of grass, bermuda compared to bent or bluegrass makes a difference also. For what its worth I feel the beveled sole on mx23 and I assume mx25 clubs minimizes this problem.

I play the MX 25's and I believe they are one of the best iron sets out there.... They are great for any Handicap. They are very light, confortable and has a big sweat spot.

I encourage you to try them.

As i mentioned in the other thread i played the mx-23's for almost a year, i had no real problems with them except i bought them in a regular dynalite gold flex (not stiff enough for my swing speed) because they were only $350 4-pw, which was to good a deal to pass up, i loved them. Very forgiving, the long irons are hybrid easy to hit. and surprisingly they were Extremely long. Game improvement iron at its best. Eventually i parted with them to go with a more workable iron and didnt want to go through the trouble of getting them re-shafted. The only trouble i seemed to have with them was hitting out of longer rough. If you can get a good deal on them rather than forking out another $500 for the mx-25's, why not?

Of course i've never tried the mx-25's so i cant give you a comparison, it comes down to the money you want to spend. But I gaurantee you will not be disappointed with the mx-23's.

Thanks for your input. I decided to go with th mx23's but they were actually sold out so they could never get me a set. Since season is basically over here now I'll wait until next season and get a set of mx-25's. I'm a bit concerned they are not workable enough for me since I play my irons probably a bit better than my handicap indicates (weak with driver&woods;) and am used to work the ball but I really liked the mx23's when I tried them so should be ok.

    • Day 354: shitty, busy week so far. Only had time for a bit mirror work - working on the same things. 
    • IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow.. 
    • Ha ha.... I'm not sure.  I've actually never watched a LIV event. ... but maybe? 👍👍
    • I'd look at Days 2 and 22 here: https://golfevolution.com/30-day-plan And watch this video:
