Where it wins
- Feel95
- Looks94

Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a highly skilled ball-striker who wants the softest forged feel and total control over flight and shape.
You need any forgiveness, extra distance or help getting the ball up — the MP-20 MMC or HMB fits better.
Pros
- The purest, softest feel of any iron Mizuno makes
- Unmatched workability — flight and shape the ball at will
- A sublime, classic blade shape drawn from the iconic TN87
Cons
- A pure blade — brutally unforgiving on any mishit
- Traditional lofts give up distance to modern irons
- Demands a repeatable, tour-level ball strike
By dimension
Forgiveness
ModestA pure blade — a tiny sweet spot and thin muscleback punish any miss, with only a hint of stability from the tapered head.
Distance
ModestControl over carry — traditional lofts and true spin favour precise, repeatable numbers, never raw distance.
Workability
ExcellentThe ultimate shot-maker — a compact muscleback with a tapered blade lets a skilled player flight and shape the ball at will.
Feel
Class-leadingMizuno's finest — Grain Flow Forged mild carbon over soft copper gives the purest, most sublime strike in the game.
Sound
Class-leadingA soft, deep, muted note at impact — clean and crisp off the mild-carbon forging, exactly as a blade should sound.
Looks at address
Class-leadingSublime at address — a compact muscleback with a thin top line, minimal offset and a glare-cutting finish, drawn from the classic TN87.
