Mizuno Pro 221, 223, 225 and Fli-Hi Irons
There ya go ... that's the THP way!
whats the term? Lunatic fringe??
February needs to come sooner...
I was really really hoping for a 221 50 degree..
that looks so good
Never used set gap wedge until these forged tecs. I don't miss the specialty wedge.
Depends on the weather. Could be this weekend - Sat 28-48F and Sunday 36 to 61F

I think they look better, but a lot of that is personal in that I think Mizuno gets the address look better than anyone.
hosel to head transition lines are outstanding!
My concern is that I’d be buying the “same” thing I already have. Can you do a pic with red lighting?

Always, and it always seems to be where my eye wanders to first.
that Is absolutely the first thing I look at. Then toe shape.
Keep wandering back into here. The Fli HI is what gets me. Definitely pondering that and 225
Comparisons.
I love the 225 irons - a very powerful club. But today I compared the irons I've been playing since September against the 225.
Now I know why I like the 223's, which 7i is pictured in the second pic below against the Honma.
But look at the third pic that freaked me out - 223 7i v 225 7i.
225 on Left
Honma TW-X Gamer on Right
I grew accustomed to a shorter blade length.
Below we have the 223 7i on right and Honma TW-X on Left.
Honma has a wide yet beveled sole.
223 slightly shorter heel to toe and the sole is more aesthetically pleasing.
Which is the 223?
225 on the right!
223 on the left.
I was looking more and the angle of the pic might not tell the whole story on the 223 sole. You've got more beveling on the 223 on the 7i than the 225 7i.
Which do I prefer? When I hit them more, I will let you know. Both are great. It comes down to your preferences.

Interested to hear which you feel has more forgiveness between the 223 & 225. I'm all about the help that also doesn't look terribly bulky.Comparisons.

At least in the long to mids, the 225 has the longer blade length. When you get to the 7i, the blade length is about the same to me. On the sole of the 7i here, the 223 "looks" wider but it is beveled more than the 225 and Mizuno says it's about the same. Overall, the 225 due to the longer blade and other design features will be more forgiving, but in the 8-PW, I don't have the 225, so I can't say. But here is the chart. The chart indicates the 225 8-PW will be slightly longer in blade length than the 223. If you want more forgiveness, go 225. But how much more forgiveness are you getting from 7-PW? That's why I have a blended set. Most may break it up at 8-PW, GW

I believe so - putting them down at address, they look about the same to me - a millimeter here or there. See the beveling on the right side of the 223? Makes it look wider but it is not.
